Serotonin hmm

Working title: "Crystal"

2010-05-15T19:24:00.006+01:00

A story I started last year, only recently went back to it. The drawing is the main character, Luos (name is not definite)
-----

Gazing high towards the misty sky, the breeze shifts and carries a delicate whisper into the ears of Luos and one word, Crystal, resonating magnitudes, as if a long forgotten memory being brought back to life.

Left alone on the far side of a bare room, nothing but a single window to look through as the rain patters against the glass pane and a door-less frame where stairs descending to the earth await, what choices does Luos contemplate? A choice in which he may remain in the cell nothing belonging, nothing binding and nothing pushing his direction; a choice to press against the glass and watch with no influence of the outcomes; or a life of barren chaos and downfall besetting upon his shoulders and the lives of so many clinging to the trails he may walk?
The only path that is true is the one that man chooses for himself, and the guidance of one melody pumping forward brings man to his destiny.

----------

In the centre of luscious greens, and white slabs of perfectly paved stones, the wind providing the refreshing nectar, expected from the meadows stretching far beyond heaven’s doors. The few people walking in the distance, fair, longed hair in fresh green garments that matched the scenery were unfazed by the burst of heat emitted from the light and dark knights that stood about 18ft tall. Strange patterned red lights surrounded each of them breaking through the ground, one, the light knight, whose weapon pointed to challenge the sky, and the other, the dark knight cracked into the ground surface as they summoned, between them, a single dragon. Their powers united the dark knight wretches forward with the dragon, bounded to the dark knights’ double edged sword visible by the red aura, his target being an unknown entity masked in mystery.......

Not far from this battle, above a thousand flights of steps laid an impressive and sparkling temple with green vines running down its pillars. Inside, large with marble flooring, was cold and empty par one ebony piano in the far corner, there sat a single woman, whose linen was glistening dark blue one piece dress that hugged snugly around her curves, her pale fingers skimmed lightly across the keys and her voice that matched her creative mannerisms to an audience of zero... On her head, she wore a crown of which cannot be described, it had no particular shape or pattern, the only thing for certain was that it covered the top of her head fully, and as she looked my way, the crown began to shatter softly, each tiny piece rained like droplets, millions of them like the stars in the night sky, this fair lady continued to sing lyrics that would be lost in time, but one word from the song remained clear, and that word was Crystal...

----

Lous wakes from the previous dream in the soft seats of the theatre listening to the piano being played on stage, the melody similar to one that flowed in his dream however the lyrics differ. Audience applauds and even after everyone leaves their seats, Luos distracted by the images he’d seen as he gets the feeling he’s been there before.

A woman graced in a sparkling one piece appears beside him, “Are those flowers for me?” She asks looking at the bunch he holds. Startled taking a moment to realise where he was, he gives the flowers to Tiris who smells them and tells him the flowers are lovely. They walk out and she asks if he liked her playing, he tells her the last piece was really good and asked if she made the song Crystal up herself. She looked puzzled as she hadn’t decided on the title yet as it was still incomplete but wanted people to hear it anyway though there are no lyrics to it yet. But now she’ll consider the name. “What made you think of Crystal?” He tells her it was from his dream, there was someone playing a similar melody and he couldn’t remember what the lyrics were but Crystal was said a lot so he assumed the title would be Crystal. “Hmm, I see.” Tiris thinks a moment as they walk, she actually didn’t come up with the tune herself, her grandmother liked exploring and she found what looked like a music score inscribed on some object, took a photo and kept it in her journal which she let her look at when Tiris started to get better at piano. Over half of it was worn away though so she’s trying to make a full composition.
She asks if there was anything else that happened in the dream but he doesn’t tell her about the mechs, he doesn’t feel it’s relevant.

He meets the villain of the story, then I have yet to write the rest haha -how evil-

So far, I've written a lot about the history of the universe and the reason why the main character is who he is. Still trying to work out other things here and there but at least there's progress.

I'm not dead, but maybe I am?

2010-02-22T01:19:00.003Z

So, been working a lot of p/t hours but at least I've managed to draw something, albeit not as much as I'd like to have drawn :V oh well, can't have them all.

Concentrating on writing this month to hopefully be ready to plan out the panels and script of it with Angie, getting closer to my dream!

Unrelated to the story, here is the first drawing:

Art trade - Daina Morgan - Angelina Wilson's original character

The second drawing was on a whim, the original rough sketch the person looked a lot younger, this one shows how ragged down they are from a their mediocre work that they feel they can't escape from - reality of many students ;-;

Both drawings are incomplete however, need to fully ink Angie's art trade, and want to add further detail to the background behind the second one with a message "Don't forget your dreams"

Just a quickie

2009-10-25T01:55:00.001+01:00

well been ages yet again, been preoccupied with non-art work and real life T_T
least managed to draw Luylien profile drawings, not the best and roughly coloured - see one side of her 13 year old state (her age when the story begins) and the other side is her early 20s self (where her story ends pretty much she gets to face her life purpose and the origins of her 'demon' surface) the middle one is just the general body shape, pretty skinny boyish flat chest slim hips lack of punctuation in long winded sentences she wears anything you put on her and has limited expressions which could be due to a mix of unpleasant things and the drugs Saiyu tests on her who knows :C oh god grammar and english went out the window
Those are just standard colours

OMG Update D:

2009-04-24T20:38:00.005+01:00

The title says it all :V

It's not like anyone knows I exist (don't worry this isn't going to turn all excessively emotional hatred or anything) but I've tried not to neglect my art work and so I'm yet again going to post my WIP -cheer- provided it allows the file size and that the wireless connection doesn't give way whilst uploading :/ anyway here we go!

The first one up is the poor-man picture who dives for a bread crumb - hoping to do a series of opposite drawings. So this one would be a man who has nothing but his freedom, I should/probably will rename the picture - I know at the moment no-one can tell what really is going on but I assure you it will be awesome when finished :D if not then your money back :p

Secondly, a new story titled "Someone Save Me" about an 'angel' who grants the wish of one person to revive present her dead lover after the couple had had a misunderstanding/spat causing one of them to get run over :C But every wish has a price, what could this one be?
The past of the Gen(iella) haunts her as the souls of previous partners, friends and family who have all disappeared throughout her short life take hostage of her revived lover, Cammi. Can Dan ever come to terms with the dread that has already befallen her?

Who knows :C -gasp-

I have more pencil sketches as well as So Simple inked just need to scan my laziness away

New blog

2009-01-09T20:19:00.005Z

New blog, as the title states, will hopefully have uploaded images of finished works ONLY kukuku whilst this one will still show various work by yours truly :3

Hope people had a nice Christmas and have a hardworking Ox filled year that will blossom the fruits of that labour ^-^

Fish concepts

2008-10-09T11:45:00.005+01:00

Hullos again - here's a few pieces of work I've been doing in the past couple of weeks for a project -hush hush-

So, yes, enjoy : )

used sharks as a template - granted these onse look more like reptiles than fish :/

dawww, chubby little fishman with laughable inking control
idea for a townsfolk but I'm not too sure - perhaps too much like a fish than man : C

some more folks and a weird fish creature on a rock
I like the red drawing of fish woman - below is side view of same creature - do I like it ? I don't know, I may have ruined it
I painted the little guy with the blade arms :3

I haven't painted in years, if I ever did outside classes, which shows in the landscape

End of Fishy

I like fish : 3 particularly the ones swimming round in the garden pond - they're quite amusing

weee summer

2008-08-27T20:23:00.008+01:00

so summer update of drawings = not much done in that field ._______.

I'll need to rename my files later : /

First up : -

:D I was happy about this for a day ... then I saw the faults D: oh well for next time (There are two faces in this image btw - many don't see it >_>;;;)

Paw-paw looking different and older than her original but none the less having lots of fun in this winter themed drawing, dawww :3

Abe Poppercock - nuff said <.<

Some sketches of R-L People including my two nieces and one from a magazine. Bridlington was ok, though raining heavily on the day - Managed to win two vodka glasses on those two pence machines yay

Then random sketches. You know I really need to draw more objects instead of people -tries to raise the old graphic artist spirit back from the past-

Human_Age_Game

2008-07-06T22:32:00.001+01:00

Free simple stat and money building game, name your caveman or woman and earn money through games, hunting or slave labour till you complete the quest requirements to evolve (sounds like Pokemon) :D similar to another competitive tycoon game that my siblings were obsessed with before. But without the evolutions

Updates daily, all it takes is about a few minutes of your time a day and then you can leave it be till the next day

My cave-woman is "serotonin" of the Caribou Sniffers

Oh that's another thing, the tribe you start in is random but you can change tribes once you earn enough

If this is the sort of game you like to get involved in then here's the address

www.human-age.com

Fun : )

FEEDBACK PLEASE

2008-03-25T04:36:00.000Z

It's for final year project
Mooooo ) :
My animatic isn't good and there's little time though the storyboard itself is the main focus in the project, and I prefer that to the animatic. Probably due to not having me messing *cough* sorting out the timing for the shots, as well as the originals not having been horrible mutilated by my amateur Photoshop-igsh ways
Anyway the following are the original storyboards ^-^'' and for some reason i can't upload the animatic - i shall keep trying though

3 weeks..

2008-03-09T14:09:00.000Z

D:

Only 3 weeks left till the hand in date for the final year project T-T

I have to write the whole report still... At least I've got the storyboards though, just need to neaten things, add some colour and put into Toonboom and attempt an animatic -pray that the gods are on my side-

I have done some stuff that could possible go in the portfolio >.> lol
Not done anything for Studiio business... might try to do some tonight : (
Need editing of group works...

D: Lineage 2 pkers make me angry and spiteful

end of entry before laptop battery diessss

----

man.. that was close, just as i published the entry the laptop went to standby -phew-

anyway, for some bizarre reason I don't know, the scanner in the lrc by default emails your scans as pdf >_> so the majority of the images i scanned are in pdf format D: There was only two that I have from February that are jpegs

So, here you go:

The first one is Luylien (again) just waking up in the morning, and the second image was drawn with the thought of being rooted, and showing this one to other people, most said that it was either a boss monster or Silent Hill like >_> seriously I'm not taking things from that, as cool as the SH monsters look - especially the ones for the 5th game .O.

Inking the 2nd image, and it's looking much better than the one shown here.

luylien holding meiyuet 001

2008-02-03T19:48:00.000Z

Well, at this very moment in time my entire brain is in pain and lacking focus >_> due to sitting at the computer for too long, and my stomach is making noises and also watching the original japanese YuGiOh series. Yea, I'm always going to be a fan of Yugioh and Seto Kaiba with his starched trench-coats.

Started working on a digital [gasp here] drawing on the 31st Jan 2008 after doing a small drawing of two people holding each other from a off angle top down view.
Then thought it would be good to have it so that it was Luylien and Meiyuet, seeing as I still don't know for certain on Meiyuet's appearance.

This is also for Portfolio work, trying to do new things T-T Started the website designs but not far at all. I'll take a break and then work on Dreamweaver.

1st Feb - (last hours in the evening)

the stick figures and trying to flesh out

2nd Feb 08 - no work towards this.

3rd Feb 08 - started working on this in the from some time in the afternoon (Murder She Wrote was on ITV) and taking a break at 8.05pm

so far the WIP images are as followed: -

Both figures fully drawn - basic - Meiyuet's arm proportion >_>' needs fixing. They are both too be 15 years old in this drawing, and yes Luylien's body is meant to be like that, neither too feminine or mascaline

Added more details on clothing as well as their trademarks - Luylien's bead bracelet and Meiyuet's moon lotus necklace. Debating on if Meiyuet's body shape is okay, originally quite thin to average but I think I like the trick of the t-shirt as it makes her look a bit more wider and healthier than before; her head was the problem before too, being either too old looking or her eye was too big.

Looking better in my opinion, widen the arm so she wasn't a stick. and hair seems more natural spread out like that

Next time...

2008-01-24T12:30:00.000Z

I'll remember to resize images ok...
man...
if any reads this then please read the following:

I'm having difficulty researching into animations that experiment with the techniques they use as animation that asks "why do people do the things they do?" and other topics similar for my final year project.

The project is researching into different styles and techniques used in animations that deal with questioning life so that it'll help when storyboarding a chapter of a story, where the main character not only asks these type of questions regarding her own life but also suffers one hallucinations triggered by touch sensory and environment

I was wondering if anyone could recommend who/where to look into or suggest animations to watch.

Thanks for reading

wow... i only just noticed the typos... and I already sent this out to lecturers ... ooops.. another fail here I come...

I need to post my story >_>

-waves and fades into the distance-

lol nobody looks at these

2008-01-14T14:16:00.001Z

aww Ai [imagines credits scrolling up where there is the dead space]

Ai and Luylien stuff and other random stuff all of which I can't remember when I did these

-above- theme - Red thread that connects two people. Plus concept for clothing if they were in an mmorpg
-below- better (not that much better) mmo clothing for Ai and Luylien

-above- Scribble fest of anger formed to become eastern archer
-below- bad observation of chairs

and the stuff you probably shouldn't see >_>
-below- the creature with the full human body is a Human Treasure Chest, with the key hole located in the middle of the rib cavity. Once the key is inserted the rib cage will open as a two way door and the treasure lies inside it's vital organs or may be the vital organ itself. You won't know until you unlock them with the key.

- warning, not for youngsters -
-below- Close up of the monster in the previous image.
It all started from the dog's back leg and soon changed into the left arm and that's where the rest of the image began to form >_>'

2008-01-14T13:58:00.000Z

Anyway, because I can't find the story file lawls, in this scene the boy jumps over the cliff to the ever stretching forest that suurounds the village, upon safely landing he encounters a lost wolf cub whom he befriends and every day they play together till the late evenings when the orphen boy returns to the village alone : (

First set of rough storyboarding - lol the animatic sucked .o. - but now a completely new story board is going to be done yays so that it shows the style we're actually wanting it as opposed to just setting out the scenes but need to narrow it down to 3 - 5 panels per screen minute >_> don't know why it has to be that though

Next post will have other drawings

yaaay drawings

First Entry - (thursday)

2007-11-22T19:21:00.000Z

Morning, here's an animation students' (who's going to try and aim to be a professional storyboard artist) first entry in yet another blog - urr

Plans for this blog are that this will display work/art from mainly university and there afterwards unless stated otherwise, but then if I can't really be bothered to upload to my deviantart, myspace or livejournal there may not be much ~~change~~ hope for this.

Should really be doing work at this very time - final year project stuff and all... so much researching and yet I'm not even sure what it is I have to research... oh wait, the hows to mutlipane animation and research into how other animators tackle life questions such as the reasons people do things etc

If anyone read that and know of any animations/films /visual media that deal with concept or story/plot --- could you tell me? it would help a lot thanks ^-^

Really need to stop procrastinating...

Now off to Lineage 2 :D
