Roosterteeth Freeelancer contest

I am currently in the process of putting together a piece for a contest put out by roosterteeth. The project is due by the 29th and I have been putting off doing it for a million reasons but tonight (after a few hours of Borderlands 2 and the Chinese buffet) I got this together.

Most of my history with roosterteeth is anchored in the original Red vs Blue Blood Gulch Chronicles and Tex was the baddest of the bad. Of course it was just recently revealed that she is Beta, which makes sense... but yeah I have some fun ideas with how I am going to color her "skin."

I am excited to see what she does here in the end of the current season. It should be epic... and I am going to assume that she is really, really pissed.

My turn with Zrii

Its time to see what change I can make in the way I eat and take care of my body. There has been a lot of fast food and soda since I have been home and the results of such a diet are depressing. I have felt tired and bloated and sick for a long time.

So I decided to jump in all the way. I have a little bit of every product Zrii has to offer and for one month I am going to do my best to stick to a plan of eating health and getting better exercise.

Today is the time to change and I am going to share my progress here on my blog.

Today I weighed in at 208 lbs. Not a horrible weight  but I would like to see what a healthy me would weigh and feel like. I imagine it will be much more better ;-)

Musical inspiration

Inspiration is hard. Coming off a Daft Punk spree I am looknig for new music to help me flow through the creation proccess.

I have added these 3 songs and more to my current playlist:
Help I'm Alive by Metric
Earthquake by Labrinth featuring Tinie Tempah
T.H.E.(The Hardest Ever) by Will.I.Am

Scott Pilgrim VS the World has a great song by Metric titled Black Sheep. Of course the film version isn't the same as the true Metric version but they are both great songs.

Metric has a lot of good stuff. Check them out.

Organization

We are going to be spending some time organizing our blogs. This blog will be the main blog and the other will be where we will be posting anything related to our photography. Expect more art to pop up as well. I have been doing a lot of little things with my time in bahrain.

I'm Back!

I spent a good portion of my time today writing in the warehouse. I think this is the first time I have sat down to actually put into words from start to finish what I have in my mind for a novel.

 

 

I find it interesting how I have had this in my head for so long and how it can still change and evolve as I write it. I know most of the major plot events and what my objective is with the story but, at least to me, the world feels like it is going to be more incredible, more real than it was before. I am just writing what comes to mind knowing that I can come back and tweak things later. Its awesome. Its kind of like reading a book I already know the ending to but am not sure how it happens... ha.

 

 

I was thinking about how time passes for a reader today. What may take me a couple hours to write someone may read in a few minutes and yet so much can happen in those few pages. An author can actually use their words to make you feel the long drawn out journey of a character and rush you though a whirlwind of events later on just by how he fills the page!

 

 

I am feeling creative again. Its not a task to sit down and write or to draw. I look forward to it. I look forward to that passage of time.

 

 

Its very liberating.

Planking

Just got a new camera and Derek thought it would be fun to test it by planking.

I think this might be the start of something special.

Thank you Canon...

Design Many Robots

Here are my Designs for the Design Many Robots contest. They were due today (April 4, 2011)at Midnight.

This first bot is Crabby. Mostly he immitates the movements of crabs. I would guess tat it is a little bit territorial and thinks of itself as something bigger than it truely is.

The Second design is like a giant, firey trash compactor with legs. You know those movies where people and superheroes get sucked into planes? yeah... not so fun.

Let me know what you think!!!
