Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Random happenings + Balloon ride!

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 20, 2009, 12:38 PM

I guess I should aim for a slightly less Muse themed journal today. The last one was borderline psychotic !

So in other news; I finished Uni - WOOOOOOO! Thank fuck for that! So you'll be seeing muuuuch more art and commissions from me. Life shall be meandering on for me whilst I decide what I'm gonna do. I have no set plan, I'm happy right now and thankfully employed! XD So we'll see what happens! 8D Hopefully a little travelling if I'm lucky. *3*

Time for some accounts of the random happenings in my life. Cause you obviously want to know! XD

I went on a hot air balloon flight! It was EPIC. My friend / "heteral life partener" ~kittykitt

was 21 back in february and my present to her was this balloon ride. We had to wait until they actually started flying but it was awesome!

Photobucket

Say hello to the lovely English countryside! It was so much fun and the weather was uncharacteristicly glorious. Although that flame was freaking hot! I swear you had to be in the basket to realise just how hot it got. But it was still epic.

I had an entertaining time at work this afternoon too. I was updating our promotions board - something I do most weeks. If there's ever any kids around in the store they usually have a nosey and see what I'm up to, faffing about in the window. lol. Today there was a little girl who claimed her spot next to me and chattered on, eventually helping herself to some markers and joining in. I'm not that great with kids but she was an awesome little dude!

Photobucket

We all agreed that she was hella' better than me. I was kind of sad to have to clean it off. But at least I got a picture! lol.

Anyway I guess that's enough babbling and picture spamming

More art coming soooooon!
Much love guys

~KingSting Jun 22, 2009

haha coolio!! dont know how my closet fear of heights would go tho lol

yeah u gotta travel!!! one thing i regret not doing after college/uni, now im just a drone

actually got out to London from Aus last year for the TDK prem and yes...best getaway eva!

~luciferous Jun 22, 2009 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Woohoo for freedom... Although i have bee having thoughts of returning to uni to do something new and different... I miss the madness and pressure, but only after i have finished writing my book and been told i am poo and should never write again...

Balloon rides = Awesomecore, ever thought of jumping out of a plane with a glorified binbag on your back?

Aaaaand have you seen revenge of the fallen yet?

`Charlie-Bowater Jun 22, 2009 Professional Digital Artist

I said to Amy as soon as we were done - sky diving next! I even perused prices

I'm sure I will one day.

Yup, I went to see it last night. DAMN it was long! Wasn't as good as the first - naturally, but I've seen a lot worse so... XD

Huh. Thinking of going back to uni then? ;3

~luciferous Jun 22, 2009 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I got very annoyed at T2, very annoyed with the mistreatment of Arcee... but it did make me get all teary during a certain part in the forest that i won't mention for fear of spoiling it for other reading this... ahem...

I'm looking into doing the full skydiving training thing so i can teach other people how to safely jump out of a plane...

Yeah uni for me first time round was a bit of wasted time, all i learnt was that i don't like animating that much (I probably would have loved it given better tutors) So i don't know what I would do, but it would be something varied and interesting... even though part of me wants to do a masters in digital media... I still love the arts even though they no longer seem to love me that much.

!Yazzy Jun 22, 2009

oh man, i wanted to do that as a graduation gift for my friend, but one ticket is 200+ dollars!! So expensive x__x Lucky duck! Glad you had a good time

`Charlie-Bowater Jun 22, 2009 Professional Digital Artist

Yeah, it's expensive here too but I wanted to get her something epic! lol XD Thanks ;3

~traumtaenzer Jun 22, 2009

Congrats!

I still have three years to go... stupid german system, five years of uni.

Flying in a hot air balloon seems awesome, I want to do that too!

~jott6900 Jun 22, 2009

Congratulations on finishing Uni - did you get the grade you wanted? Was it a Degree?
Take some time to figure out what you want to do - I only got a clue as to what I wanted at 34 years old and I look after my young daughter now so have no time to do any art!!! She is great though.

`Charlie-Bowater Jun 22, 2009 Professional Digital Artist

Thank you. I don't know my grade yet, It was a foundation degree.

I'm glad she's great! and yes, I'll be taking my time ;3

~jott6900 Jun 24, 2009

Foundation eh? I thought, going by your art, it was degree level. Sure to get a distinction..

So are you perhaps destined for the illustration route or are you going to become a director like Hayao Miyazaki and do an english version of Spirited away...

or work on computer games like Ico ? yeah yeah

Sorry, got a bit carried away there..
