so totally pumped
So a few good things have happened. asides from generally getting some stuff done i made the most amazing discovery in the world: My old 3D model of my mech which I though was lost, I had sent to myself in a very old email. so this is AWESOME!! And its going to make reference a lot easier (I just need a machine that can run maya). Don't remember the mech? See color concept pics which I also found in the email.
Also I here's a penciling of another panel, gonna make a few more small changes then start inking. Look at that ass! I was wondering If I should change the fist too make more foreshortened like it was coming from the front, and less like it is coming out of the mechs groin. Anyone can feel free to rip into it and give critique on the drawing or whatever. I can always choose to ignore advice. And man these things take ages don't they.... I wonder If I'm gonna be able to finish before my contract ends, no..... I can do it!! Hmmmmmm....... maybe its time i started recruiting Stu to help me out.
And to top it of my brother Hadyn-Chan has agreed to do a 3D challenge with me sometime to help push each other and get our projects done. Thanks Hadyn-Ni-Chan.

Just an idea
For something terrible to come of an intended good deed is sad.
But indeed even worse if that deed was a savior from a nasty catastrophe.
Such as it was with the great disease of our revolutionary currency.
With democracy being the worst form of government (accept all the others) and all the problems stemming from it; primarily consumerism. The age demanded some thing to solve the problems of our society.
Problems of environmental sustainability and population control being attempted out of necessity and sacrifice, but not solved. People searched elsewhere for the solution. Particularly one man; an anonymous biologist. Born of a corrupt accountant, he saw the most fundamental cornerstone of our society being immune to morality: money.
How could a system be developed where honesty was rewarded and unsavory opportunism punished. Seeing as economists had failed in developing such a system, this man saw a savior in science. He got the idea from a teen memory, not only was his father corrupt. But in marriage with this trait was cruelty; and no one feels the blunt edge of cruelty harder than those close to the cruel. His groundbreaking and simple thought came to him came on the day that he fled his home, thinking "If money could sense what type of a person he was. It would escape his hands as quickly as I run from his hate."
And so why not...... If money were possessed by not only the clever (as it was in the past), but the clever and good. Surely humanity would be better off.
At first he thought of a system which involved investment in charity. But what really made things come together was his studies into the reaction of flora to positive and negative emotions in their environment. Still no reputable studies had proven that plants had "feelings". Actually he was the first. Going beyond experiments of plants growing away from harsh sounds and move towards pleasant music. He engineered a new species of fungi that would degrade and fall into a withering hibernation certain if emotions were present. And would develop a healthy set of attributes noticeable by humans when loved.
This in itself was a huge advancement and had implications in law enforcement and other fields where lie detection was necessary. The fungi could specifically detect guilt and hatred, which encouraged people to focus on searching for
So the next step was finding a nation to adopt this revolutionary idea; Not an easy task. Think f those who would be currently ruling the economy and essentially making such decisions. Thinking about how they go there and their secrets. While this is not universally true (there would be no hope in this new system if the only real way to become rich was to be evil), there were surely enough people in this position to make it difficult. A reason in itself to birth and spread the doctrine.
So was found a nation that accepted the idea and assisted in further advancing the species to that it could not be forged. Which turned out to be relatively easy. All that had to be done was a check on the publicized genetic code of the currency to expose fraud: such as the altered strain which did quite the opposite rewarding the nastiness of the now extinct villain. There was only one way for the money to be made. Any other method was simply a failure as forgery was among the many detectable wrong doings.
At first their were attempts to cheat the system, such as money handlers for organised criminals (or even those not so criminal by old standards) who were to simply live happy lives and raise the value of the currency. However it failed outright. Most "good" people would turn the offers down because they were... well.... good.
And those who were tricked into doing so eventually found out. Not to mention how quickly the currency gave away those shrouded in deception.
Also there were those who had to confront the morality of their professions, such as soldiers and devil advocate lawyers. Some simply changed professions. Some looked deep into the ethics of their careers and found solitude in their philosophical and fair justifications. There were also those who simple didn't have a place in the new world. Those who were ruled by crimes of immoral passion and hatred. Eventually these cases were bred out through a synergy of more successful education a generally more wholesome environment. All byproducts of the topic at hand.
Eventually the idea caught that the best way to become more wealthy was to simply be happy, and more importantly, to help others be happy. And so as the world embraced the new wave of humanity, the less wholesome of the world and the last of their kind shrunk into a small corner of the world and slowly destroyed itself in an almost comical last stand. Unable to compete with the prosperity and increasing quality of life elsewhere and everywhere.
So no one would have expected the misfortune that came next.

I gotta get past
I gotta get past this production block Iv'e got. Iv'e got heaps of ideas but I'm just not producing anything.
Its been a while since Iv'e written here. And its been a hard core day, I started by getting knocked out at muay thia, which resulting in my throwing up later in my hagwan and generally feeling like crap. Then one of my favorite students went nuts in my class, I was probably to hard on him.

1st
Well I guess this is the 1st drawing I'm posting. As you can see I still haven't found a decent way of scanning it in, this was using my digi cam but it looks terrible (if anyone has advice on how to do a decent image capture with a camera I'm all ears, I think I need to use natural lighting or something). So this isn't by any means the 1st drawing I did. I was just prompted to post this because a close friend requested it for inspiration (probably a good thing). And on that note this moment is my halfway mark for my stay in Korea. Its been a pretty good time so far. I'm going to comit to my two goals more thoroughly in the second half of the year.
So I will upload some better quality scans of the same image when I get time (as well as all the other ones).
Expect more soon......

Also a thought Ive had to keep myself going lately....
We are not inherently evil I don't think. I guess it would be expected that any species which is on this path of evolution would be faced with this situation. Call it a right of passage maybe? I imagine (or hope) that we will mature from this. But maybe at the price of the planet? Or at least a lot of lives*. Its the 1st time we've ever been posed with a situation like this so its a very exciting, scary and crucial time to be alive. So Ive resolved that the adventure Ive always sought lies in my role which I need to play.
Hmmmmm, I had some good thoughts about this but now I'm too hungry to think properly........ :[

Trying to decide
I'm watching a bunch of environmental films: carbon nation 2012 a time to change, the age of stupid, the inconvenient truth. Theres a bunch more on my list but these are the these are the ones I wanted to see the most. I'm trying to decide the order I watch them in; depressing hard fact films 1st, followed by optimistic alternate energy films after. I've also got another environmental film "valley of the wind" which I think would be apropriate to watch last; both heartbreakingly sad and warming at the same time (I imagine this would be the case as most Miazaki films are).

Seriously
IVE BEEN DRAWING LIKE A MANIAC, woop's caps. No really, Ive been doing allot. In fact I'm taking a break from one of my 1st inking attempts right now. Ive just been too unorganized to arrange a scanner or something to get everything in.
Not sure if I mentioned this earlier anywhere but I'm specifically keeping away from any form of digital illustration because I really just want to master traditional illustration skills. Its a valuable skill and training technique Ive neglected my whole life. I guess I'm doing it now as appose to waiting another 26 years :p
And a note to my future self..... If you achieved your background goal ( you know what it is) good shit!! If you didn't, just keep going hard core and living life to the extreme, you've got things pretty nailed.

Update
So Ive finally drawn out 3 of the main characters. One them is almost how I imagined, but another is bang on, I was really happy with it. I still need to sort out some hardware to get them online, but for now their residing on my wall next to my desk to keep me motivated. I want to write up some character profiles to flesh the characters out even more, but I think ill wait till I can upload them 1st.
As for what I'm doing next, I think I need to do some more characters from different levels of the society. And perhaps a better illustration of the building they live in. I have several already which I like. But their only scribbles at best, and I also haven't really explored the potential design as much as I should (it being a major part of the story).
Things are going good, accept for some of he worlds current problems.

Katsuhiro Otomo
This is the style I'm currently leaning towards in my minds eye. This 1st one wasn't done by Otomo.
The above and bellow were done by a guy as a drawing exercise, I read his notes and it sounded like he learnt a lot, So I might do something similar.
Don't know how this one slipped in there :p
Akira Toriyama
Heres some work from Akira Toriyama, no introduction required. I realize that every teenager with an imposable thumb would try to mimic these drawings, however I think theres another side to his art which has gone mostly unappreciated by a lot of the western world. Unfortunately there was a very specific type of his work I wanted to post but haven't had much luck in finding it, might update this post later.
Again this one isn't by him but I picked it up during my search and it made me think something akin to this layout could help me visually pitch my story idea.
