So surprise surprise: I'm taking the blog in a different direction again. The transformation begins one more.

While I did enjoy the whole "month-focused-on-one-thing-everyday" thing (for the entire month that I did it), I have to focus more on getting things done. Gamey things. Things for work. However, since so much of it is seemingly going to be done in my own time anyway, I currently plan to upload some of it here. Unfortunately, because some of it may in fact "give stuff away" (in more ways than one) I probably wont be able to post every night, but I'll post what I can. Work can enjoy the free publicity.

Or alternatively they can tell me to stop.

But hey... Much like Kenny Rodgers, I'm a gambler. We'll see how it goes.

So what to expect? More game related stuff. More analysis, more specific and focused game artwork. Or alternatively I'll just forget to post for like a month again.

One for the road...

So here we are at the end of the month... and while I know I kinda dropped out of it there for a moment (due to reasons beyond my control, I assure you I've still managed to make a mighty 21 posts this month, which is far and beyond some kind of record for me.

While I don't think I've learnt as much as I should've, I guess any learnin' is good learnin'. I'd like to keep up this kind of format, but a) I've got some stuff I have to get done this month and I don't know if I'll be able to post it up here, and b) I don't know what specifically to do next. I dont want to just do quickies again, so it wouldn't be a post a day (making stuff look good takes time, for me at least). I wish there was some easy to add poll thing here so I could let my loving audience decide for me (even though I could ask all one of you in real life anyway :P).

Well anyway... I guess I'll just have to rely on the comment's system. What of it? What should I focus on this month?

Hard-wired for justice.

So is it Streetfigher's Q, Giant Robo's Iron Mask, or just some other sad robot detective? It's a mystery - Only he can solve!

By the eyepatch of Odin!

The Mighty THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR

Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy...

So I know that I'm behind a couple of days, but screw it. If I can make it up I will, but we'll see what happens.

Anyway, I wanted to draw some more scythes because I couldn't find anything else to draw... Originally he was going to have a more goblinic/demonic mask but then i stalled when it came to armour ideas. A quick google image search turned up this, and naturally, I had to redo what I'd done to match that level of awesome.

OBJECTION!

So I've finally had a chance to play the Ace Attorney games and I'm pretty damn impressed with them.

This picture semi-inspired by something Dick Gumshoe said during the 3rd case... Something about Edgeworth being all distant after losing to Wright, standing around with his coffee and staring out windows. Or something. It was late, but I hear ya' Edgey-baby...

Also: I think this post makes it my most postingness month so far on my blog. Go me! Can I keep it up though? No idea.

I think it's time we blow this scene...

No.3 of 3. I figured it was about time to have a little colour again, so hasty (but appropriate) colouring go! Also I went back and fixed up a couple of things on Spike and Jet that were bugging me. The End.

Something about the Lost finale reminded me of the ending of Cowboy Bebop, so I went back and watched them all again, having been a few years at least since the last time I had. While on the surface there's nothing really in common between the shows, thematically they are quite similar. Plus they both extremely good at manipulating viewers emotions. It's something I'd like to get into at some point, but not tonight because it's too late for that.

Next: Something non-Cowboy Bebop?

EDIT: My attempt at drawing Faye made me vomit everytime I saw it, which made it awkward at work. In my defense I was really tired and she was the last one I did. Long story short, I re-did the face (and fixed up a couple of other things I skimped out on in the name of sleep). Truth is though, I suck at drawing sexy females. I barely practise them either because I'm worried someone will assume I'm a pervert, so instead I draw a bunch of half dressed buff guys. But I think overanalyzing that issue can wait for another time :P.

Speaking of overanalyizing, Overthinking It finally did another installment of thier series on Cowboy Bebop just after I made this post. Go read it because it's incredibly insightful (or maybe watch the show first, that would probably help too). I don't know if his grand unified theory is correct, because I know nothing about French new wave, but he's spot on about CB's love affair with the past, except I'd go so far as to say it's a love/hate kind of deal. Once again, something I'd like to go on about sometime, but a) it takes time to write something up thats long, in depth and well researched and b) I'm worried I'm boring.
