Posted 16 years agoThose looking to keep tabs on my work need only leave me an email at Ranard (underscore that a_) Lightningfall [at] yahoo (dot) com {dot} au
I will be making a personal mailing list that once or twice or however many times I want to upload a week, I will send out the images directly to you. This will also help when my bigger animations are finished as I can then send people the AVI files directly rather then compressed detail lost flashes.
Please don't respond here.
Thank you. Good day.

Need someplace new to post.
Posted 16 years agoIt's clenched for me now. I need someplace else to post my wares. Cause here just don't cut it anymore.
For every thing we get something else breaks, the cons outweigh the pros, the admin structure is a joke, the rules are self serving, the comments are more or less blow smoke up the artist ass rather then being anything worth reading more often then not, far to many people are doing the same thing, there's no orrigonality in peoples post, and funnly enough the most popular ones are so deep in this hole I think many forget that they have not produced anything of there own in ages.
The code still needs work, and from what I've been told it's going ot get worse before it gets better. People can buy there way to fame and clog up the sumbishions list but someone that create with bought things can get scrtinized. Did I mention too much porn? It's like this is one big giant porn hard drive.
And the community you think exist, does not really. It's more along the lines of, if we belive it hard enough and with some pixi dust it will be so. And don't get me started on the ego's...
So... Any one know anyplace else tat still around that might offer up a nice alternative to this place? Cause longer I stay slogged in this hole, the less and less I want to create cause I'm not getting inspired.
Cheers,
Ranard
PS. I leave you with an equasion:
(Amount of PS/gimp used + Famous char + Amount of spooge X size of sexual organs - orrigionaity) X (ego + fan servaces) - (decency + likeability) / talent = FA popularity?
Am I missing anything from that?

What keeps you motovated?
Posted 16 years agoI'm at the point where I'm saying, "Why the hell am I here?", again.
After the last issue I stared thinking just why the hell am I trying to support this place with content. When at the drop of a hat or just cause someone does not like the medium involved in the creation stuff can be pulled. Where, and this is just a personal observation, we are praseing and rewarding acting like a total ass hat/stuck up jerk off while the decent people get the short end of the stick.
So I ask allot of you out there what keeps you all going? What pushes you to create and keep creating? Cause right now I'm looking at allot of my unfinished projects and other things and asking myself, "Why should I bother?".
Also, on that last matter, I want to send a "You peeps are wicked." Out to all you that were and saw things from the direction I was coming from. (Oddly enough all being those outside the person in questions little circle. How odd is that? *he lies 9.9*)

There are times I wish I had....
Posted 16 years agoOne of those little figures artist use to set out a pose before drawing it.
That way I could stick some ballons on it's chest and gossle it now and then to get a better feeling to heavy weight on the chest and capture it in animation better.
Anyone got any sugestion for bounce?

About removed submissions
Posted 16 years agoSorry folks. Not my doing.
You might have had some of your images favorits have gone missing of late. More then likely the ones contaitn a ceertian mad science Vixen.
Well apparently she's still having hissiy fit because someone not oh her little OMG I respect you artist grouping is doing figure work with there model when they had given permission many many moons ago. Now they have gone to the admins.
I got a delightful, and polite mind you, note from Pinku saying why my scrap images was removed. GIving there were only three people in it And moy other renders f the second person remain, as were the other two from the idividual in said scrap and I own the other it's quite obvious who did this.
I think Greg Panaovitch got the same sorta treatment when they did a serries of Wednesday. Apparently the rerm Fan Art I lost on them.
Am I mad? No.
I don't get mad... I get even. And I hold no respect for people that have none for me or my work.
You want to be a tart... Two can play this game.
I was not going to relese it, as long as thing were played nice. Now it time to be a mean little bugger.
So, anyone intrested in getting my texture and files of Dr. Wednesday to creat there own, need only ask or note me and I'll email them to you.
That way you can make your own fan art too. Mind you, it will have to be for DAZ, but as long as you get that, I'll hook you up with all you need.And never forget, DAZ is free.
I will also be popping the texture up for grabs as free stuff on various render sights I am a part of.
So there you go. That's what's happened.
Should have left wel enough alone. When I bit, I bite bac.k Hard.

Boredom
Posted 16 years agoIs it me or has this lace conjeeled into a nice thick brick of same old same old?
Same comishion hounds plastered everywhere they can, same subject matter from the popular set. Same compleat and total overlooking for most of the up and comers, really nifty things by most to flock to said popular set or said set even going out of there way to trounce those p and comers. Oh and far far FAR to much rule 34 and so forth.
I've been browsing through 100, A HUNDRED page of FA brows back long in search for motovation, insperation, the submisions recived for BAP I'm still freeking waiting on and I'm so bored I think I cried a little from it.
Hell I was gone for a year already and I thought hat that would have been enough to let things boil up some more, and yet here I sit on my pals system, literly bored to disgust.
What is wrong with this picture that we are on a art sight with likly hundreds of thousands of artist, writers and creative ideas, and we get the same thing the same way, over and over and over again.

Ugh... Commissions Open
Posted 16 years agoNot working, can't FIND work, nearly not holding on, so I got to open up Commissions to make ends meet. Much as I hate them.
Only opening 3 slots. 3D models only. Base cost is $50 a pop with added cost for complexity. (Texture or figure)
That's for a single figure, textured and created. You want another char it's $25 for one of my collection another $50 for a fully made one from 'scratch' (Scratch meaning my fusing tecnique, not right from scratch like say in 3DS Max, takes to long and I would charge FAR more for something like that.)
My gallery has examples of my work, you can ask for more if curious. If your interested, contact me, preferbly here or PM or email.
Like another person, I will be raffling off the spots so people in other timezones get fair shot at them.
Thanks in advance to anyone that takes.
PS: Yes, those that have already bought and are waiting, I'm still working on your stuff. Have had to restart them, giving VISTA and DAZ DON'T like one another and the files have corupted since then. >.<

2009 SUCKS!
Posted 16 years agoJUST an FYI. Typing for a library computer now.
My monitor, BOTH of them, have decided they have put in there final hours of service and died on me. (Flat creen has shorted out, Tube one finaly died.)
So now I have a big powerful tower computer, and NO way to do anything on it. >.< No render, no games, no nothing.
I'm going out of my head. Why dose this year suck so!? Lost my job, no net at home, lost my computer now, more family died, Dog's gone deaf... no income, no prospects.. GAH.
Anyway, I don't like asking, but now I'm opening up donations (I would say commishions, but hard to d that when you DON'T have a computer and you work in 3D), to net me a new monitor. Anyone feeling generous can give to paypal at Ray_wolf (at) hotmail (dot) com. Donators wil be rememberd.
Thank you in advance and I will see you... Whenever I seen you.

Video Game Question:Most well known tank.
Posted 16 years agoJust something that came up in a discussion I had with a friend. That turned into a debate.
What was the most Note worth/first/well known tank in Video games.
He said: Landmaster
I said: SOFIA the 3rd Nora MA-01 (Points to ALL that know just what that is. There is an easier name for it.)
Your call?

I remembered my password. You'er still here?!
Posted 16 years agoWhy are more then 1200 almost 1300 people still watching this space?
There is nothing here. Go home. Go home!
>.> <.<
I'm gone for 5 months... almost half a year and a majority of you are still kicking around.... WHY?! There are other folks out there. Go linger there. :P
XD
But yeah, found my old password.
Not sure if I will post on this or just kick around... Decisions decisions.

Ok look. I'm saying this once here.
Posted 17 years agoShut up. I'm not going back to posting. All the begging and pleeding and whining and emails in the world are not going to change my mind so just stop with it. it's this sorta thing I adore really. A little while ago a bunch of you folk could not leave me alone about my work and how bad it was and so forth, but now, because you can't get it anymore, all the things are turned on it's head. Well TS. It's like the song. "You don't know what you got till it's gone." Maybe next time when others like myself come along you'll know better. I doubt it tho, cause many of you don't know just how good you all have it.
In summery, Stop contacting me to beg for my work to come back. Not going to happen. You want to talk, fine, but leave the creative portion out of it.
On that note if you REALLY have to see some of the stuff I have done, tho even in this case it won't be much. I'm sitting on a lot of work and a lot of figures I've made, that I don't know what I'm going to do with. But anyway, if you want to see some of the few things relese to be allowed to be posted by someone else go over and look at Blackshine's page here. She has some of my models and is a slowly up and coming 3D artist in the same manner as I was. And again, has some of the models I was using, so if you miss the 'look' of my work, you can get it there. When she starts posting her own stuff that is. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/blackshine
Lastly, MANY of you have been bugging me about BAP. YES it IS still in the works. And when it's done and avalible, it will be distrubuted to those that offered images to it for free and to all others for a price along with some of my old and new and unseen works. I'll have Blackshine tell the world when it's ready to go, as she's basicly my only contact to here. Only reson I'm putting this journal up is so that ALL of you get the first message in this.
So to recap: BAP is being worked on, Blackshine will now and then post something up that was done by me, account is still closed. STOP BEGGING ME TO COME BACK!
In summery, Stop contacting me to beg for my work to come back. Not going to happen. You want to talk, fine, but leave the creative portion out of it.
On that note if you REALLY have to see some of the stuff I have done, tho even in this case it won't be much. I'm sitting on a lot of work and a lot of figures I've made, that I don't know what I'm going to do with. But anyway, if you want to see some of the few things relese to be allowed to be posted by someone else go over and look at Blackshine's page here. She has some of my models and is a slowly up and coming 3D artist in the same manner as I was. And again, has some of the models I was using, so if you miss the 'look' of my work, you can get it there. When she starts posting her own stuff that is. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/blackshine
Lastly, MANY of you have been bugging me about BAP. YES it IS still in the works. And when it's done and avalible, it will be distrubuted to those that offered images to it for free and to all others for a price along with some of my old and new and unseen works. I'll have Blackshine tell the world when it's ready to go, as she's basicly my only contact to here. Only reson I'm putting this journal up is so that ALL of you get the first message in this.
So to recap: BAP is being worked on, Blackshine will now and then post something up that was done by me, account is still closed. STOP BEGGING ME TO COME BACK!
You have my contacts. .. Get in touch with me there.
Posted 17 years agoCause the account as of now is closed.
A.F.J #6: Observations: The 'community'
Posted 18 years agoBeen a while since I've done one of these. And I know I'm not going to be liked for it. Not that I'm liked as it is, but if I gave a shit over who liked me and such, I'd likely be face down in a ditch somewhere.
Having read another persons journal. (I will not say who's to spare them backlash.) I have comprised here an, in my opinion, a fairly accurate summation of the tiers of out so called community.
Keeping in mind that it is Upper Tier that makes the face of the community. What many that enter it either are trained to think, or come into thinking that this is how the mechanics work.
===========================================
UPPER:
Talents: Talents are simply that, individual in the community that have some form of talent that plays into the community. Normally artistic. Talents 'tend' to think highly of themselves for such talent and often fraternize with other talents. More often then not, talents will not be overly social outside of said little talent grouping, and will ultimately ignore those of lower portions of the tiers save notable exceptions, stated later. Talents also tend to think very highly of there particular medium, scoffing downward at any others that are not up there there elevated, sometimes over inflated views. Talents also tend to think there workings are worth more. Talents are particularly kind to other talents, offering gifts and services with expectation of being giving such things back. Not always case, but tends to be the norm. Not all talents fall into this particular make up, but generally or eventually, most eventfully find this make up and adhere to it. Notable exceptions do exist, tho are few and far in-between.
Knowns: Knowns are individuals that are generally well known and depicted often by talents, but more often then know do not actively display any talent of there own. Generally thinking very much of themselves because of this connection and often made very close to talents in some way, (Wether through financial transaction of activities as described in following tiers) they 'tend' to think it is there job to not only protect talents, and in such a way further infusing themselves to talents, but also to keep other from getting into said fraternizing. Can be very explosive if provoked. Most Knowns have over inflated ego and think themselves better then most other sectors minus Knowns.
Brown Nosers: BK as they will be hence forth stated as, tend to be the pre-evolutions of Knowns. Individual that will latch themselves to specific talents and shower praise, gift of fanatical stock and other such things until evolved into Knowns; where they will take all privileges of being knows as well and the negatives. BK tend to be blindly agreeable, even if the talent they have latched too contradicts themselves often. To a BK, the talent can 'never' be wrong. BK can also be found connecting themselves to knows as pre step to getting to there targeted talent. BK's can also be Knowns at the same time.
Groupies: Groupies are a stage normally below BK's, tho have potential of being corrupted into becoming BK. Groupies do not have the same 'stick to you like glue' tendencies as BK's, but can sometimes find a talent thy enjoy enough to evolve into BK's. Groupies are generally wild card of the upper tier, and can fall into lower tier sections OR evolve into higher tier.
LOWER:
Lower Talents: LT's as we will call them tend to be all the things talents are excluding a few key pointers. Normally they have no SET circle and will generally talk to, respond and consider things from all parties, upper or lower tiers. LT's tend to, under normally circumstances, have as much, if not more Talent then talents, able to break away from repetitive content, mediums and subject matters to showcase a higher range of talents. LT's generally are unknown or are barely known, living in the shadow of Talents. LT's tend to not think highly of they own skills, despite having them and sometimes even offer assistance to those that wish to learn and are up and coming where as Talents under normal circumstances do not. Some talents have even go as far as to try to sabotage LT's perhaps in fear of being overshadowed and drooped from there top spot. LT's do have the possibility of moving up to Talents, and oftentimes, upon making such a evolution forget some of the things that made them good in LT spot.
Wisdoms: Wis's as we will call them, are just as there name implies. They tend to be well versed and knowledgeable in matter and subjects that surround the community and do not. Wis's tend to have much to say when they feel the need to say it. Ultimately they do not say much however, following the adage that a closed mouth gathers no foot. Tho when brought out to speak when the feel it is suitable, they speak volumes. However, Wis's knowledge falls on deaf ears even when they are correct and thy once more return to obscurity. Wis's also tend to evolve or rather being a subsections of the following group.
Critiques: Crit's are as there name implies. Most LT value there input while Talents disavowal any knowledge of there word or make light of there words, however right they are. Crits get the most flack from Knows and BK's simply because it is point potential fault in Knows work, proving that said known is not perfect. Crit's tend to know what there talking about tho, and as stated previous also tend to be wis's.
Unknowns: Unknowns are just that, individuals that might be talents, might be BK's, or could be potential LT or any other sector. More often then not no one knows about them until they make a appearance in a big way, and then generally fall into one of the previous placing.
Lastly, there are Neutrals: Who are just individuals that are her for whatever reason, to belong, to enjoy, to just be. Thy can fall into any class, or may remain neutral for there entire time in the community. Neutrals tend to be the silent ends to a means, swooping in unannounced watching but ultimately not saying or doing anything. They could be classed higher or lower then Unknowns depending on there actions or be mixtures of and of the sectors.
===========================================
Those are my observations. Your mileage will vary, void where prohibited.
The opinion stated is that of Ranard Lightingfall. Ranard Lightingfall could give a rats ass about whomever he offended with the preceding and all complaints/flames can go to the crack of his ass.
Now that's that out of the way.
Update: Huge project is now underway. Placement is slowly coming together as is interface.
Cleanup o more flashes forth coming. Longer flashes with more interactivity and first full rendered movie...

A.F.J #5
Posted 18 years agoDisclamer: Warning. The opinions expressed in the followig journal are those of it's participents. Anything said does not genrly reflect those of it's participents unles otherwise stated.
That out of the way... On to what's pissing me off right now.
For the (Counts.... 1, 2, 3..) Fourth time tonight in my browsings I have seen the same image. Simply put, it is like every other OC session amoung various artiest I have seen, tho with an aparent unique and nift twist. The arangment of it was ment to look like patchwork. Personaly, I don't SEE it myself, giving that just about all the style that were involved look alike. What's more, one would think that if you trully wished it to look like patchwork, one would not invite individula specific to daw for it, but, rather, have open offer so ture mulitplicity of styles conglomerate to geather into intresting textured desngin, like true patchwork, as, last time I checked, not every one sews the same way, rather then be just another gathering of eletist that would not have there precios digital canvas marred by those unfit to attempt scribles on it. (Not speeking about all of the collected in this case being such, but again read disclamer.)
Now, this pisses me off for allot of reasions, all I have already once or twice stated in previous journals, but that got me to thinking deeper into it. For a melting pot of races, creeds, backgrounds and so forth, we are about as accepting of others as several piles of shit. Meaning, that sure, it all came from differnt places, but in the end, it's all the same, and if something differnt is found in it, you'll notice right off the back.
Or, to put it another way, Think the Borge. Or to a more recent escapad into the hive colective mindset, The Aporoids. One voice leading many many litlte feelers, all devoid of any and all contous thought and should anythignstand up againt this sinularity, it is instantly bad, wrong or needs to be either assimlated or eradicated. Don't belive me? Look at any one image here on wondrous FA and rad down the comments. And please, take note at the abundence of *Generric congratory comment about how much image owns so many internets*. But look at someone that give critique (IF YOU CAN FIND IT!) And look at how swiftly the people or the head of the snake itself will bite the hand that feeds it.
When did we become a singlarity? One mind one voice? (Starts chanting Obey us... And then shakes out of it) If I wanted zombies, I'd play Biohazard. Stop stroking there egos and swelling there heds, and be honest with them. Even idf a peice is wonderfull, and there are many out there that are, something could likly be improved. To be honest will help them more then being roboticly praising.
And that's what's pissing a folf of at this moment.
Update: Working on part 2 of the fight between Our resident skunk angel and our disarmed folfon. Working on part 2 of the playing doc serries. Working on final part of the St. Pat image. Working on a flash for Duo. Working on a differnt flahs for Ian and Glenn. Working on my dragon model once more. Work on... STUFF! LOTS OF IT!

A.F.J #4
Posted 18 years agoI KNOW I'm going to lose some people on this or at least offend a few people or some other rubisih. But you know what? I don't give a shit. I don't fear the flash back my words brign about. If it gets you hot under your ass, the I'm GLAD. THat's what it's ment to do, provoke emotion and hopfuly most importantly THOUGHT!
Now, on to the main subject of this AFJ. And quite simply, this one is all about egos. And just how over inflated many have gotten.
Now I'm not saying it's not a good thing to be proud of yourself, hardly. You do something good, you should be damn proud of it. Anytime I compleat a big render I'm super proud of it. However, does that mean I think it's the best things since sliced bread? No. D I feel that I am superior to anyone else that did not do it first? Hardly. Would I not talk to someone cause they can't do it? Very much the oposit. Hell! I'd likely offer to teach them. And I have. Point is, just cause your good at something does not give you a reasion to get a big head. REmember, Pride is the rout of all evils.
Secondly, you folks that think your so damn hot cause I'm recongnised, or I know this person, or I get this that and whatever done for me. You folks make me sick. Knowing a person, or getting something nice done for you is NOT a fucking status symbol. You should be greatfull people call you friend, not using it to make yourself seem more important then others.
While I'm on this subject, I might as well give you my feelings about Cliques... I goddamn fucking HATE them. Hre are abunch of people that sticvk togeather but only for the soul rasion of making others feel lousy cause yoyur not good enough to be part of them. I swear, If 'I' EVER gt so big a head that I can decied who's to little to talk too, or fear for talking to someone cause my other friends would disown me, I want to be shot in the head. Or worse yet, folks that will talk to you, but cause your not as good as them in something your only an aquntince. YEah, so can't draw, does that make me any less talented then the next person in the medium I do use?!
And while 'm on that track, lets side bar to something alittle more centered to here. I have been perusing some folks commision pages, and I'm fucking appaled to A) What they think there art is worth and B) The fact that there are people that are either stupid or ignorent enough to PAY it. Where the hell do you get off thinking that your worth that much, for starters? Serriosly, who blew up your damn ego THAT bloody high? Oh wait, I know. It's you god damn ignorent fans out there. Don't you reilise that the MOMENT you pay into that sort of thing, you have Justified them and accknolaged that they can do that, and that inflates there over padded egos more? What' more that money coudl be going to such better things, like starving kids, or resherch to end desies? but rather then that, it gos to some ink on a page s you can say, look what I got, an then forget about it years later when the ink fades. THINK!
Too sumerize: Just cause your good, does not make you god and your not bettter then anyone else out there, just a little more talented. Second, just cause you know someone that thinks so highly of themselfs, doesnot make you any more unimportaint you might have been before knowing them. Third, Just cause there's allot of you congragated does not make you any more special then any other group that congragates togeather. And lastly, just cause you think your worth allot does not make you any more wortless when your dead.
Update: I'm one fucking pissed off folf. Renders and aniamations comming, no spcifics, whatever I feel like doing will get done.
I need a drink!

A.F.J #3 ~Famous Furs~
Posted 18 years agoThird instalment. Man, I hate being sick, just makes me noice things that piss me the hell right off.
I labbled this one right off the bat because I know of a few that will likely come to shout at me over it, but I thought I would mention it anyway.
Anyway, what the hell is the deal with theses so caled famous furs? Now I don't mean famous as in, I made mysaelf known with a talent or some such. I make music, draw, colour... Whatever. I'm talking those furs that you see every place in art, or such that are famous for the soul reasion of being famous.
They don't really have any so called talents, most times*, but act, think and go around like there shit don't stink 'JUST' cause they have been drawn a butt load of times. In other words, there famous for BEING famous. Kinda like that chick. You know, I can't think of her name. The one that died. She never really did to much, just was known because she was known. You know?
And then, to top it all off, if only to stroke ther own egos or keep themselfs in the know of the people, these individuals go out, make accounts on image sights and then post there 'images' wich is nothing more then an archive of all the lovly thigns they have had drawn of them. This point goes back to what I said in my last A.F.J.
Why the hell do we alow this sorta thing. And why do we give these persons such criditability and grandure. More so, why on earth do people LET these individuals walk all over them?
That's all. Expect renders.
*When I say most times, I do mean it. I have met a few individuals that do not fall into this pataren. Tho a greater majority do.
