I spent all day today drawing a self-portrait made of text. (look for pictures in the OT creativity thread soon)

Also I got up to the boss of the volcano world in pac-land 2.

And I found out the controller I got from ebay is defective.  ARRGH.

I also played some Spider and Web.  It's so amazingly unbelievably awesome (it truly unfolds the potential of IF as both a story-telling and interactive medium), but I'm stuck in front of the lab doorway.  Hmm.

So, my day has not been particularly halloween-y.

much, much better.

That green is nasty, though.  How about a nice tan, or beige?  Maybe orange?  Light blue?

foo swee chin?  Such good stuff in there.

I have been watching tons of scary stuff lately.  I just finished the evil dead trilogy last week (well, army of darkness wasn't exactly scary), and watched "within the woods" (a sort of evil dead spiritual prequel) as well.  I  just watched Dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead last night.  They are amazing movies, and I now consider them to be among my all-time favorites.

I've also been playing my way through some scary games lately, like Undying, Eternal Darkness, and Resident Evil 4.  Whenever I feel like slacking off in class I play IF; I did another playthrough of Shade in speech class last thursday, and I started my first game of Anchorhead, which is a horror game.  According to a review of it I read, it's more than just a little colored by Lovecraft's legends, which is cool.

Heh, looking good so far.  Glad to be some sort of inspiration here.  Maybe you should add some eyebrows to number five?

Can't wait to see more.  I'd like to request a darker "darkest" shade on the green ones, though.  the peachy one looks great.

only if you don't choose "felt tip markers" from the side bar.

ZING!

I requested a couple of markers and a catalog!

That stuff's heavy duty, what with material safety data sheets and all.

I also figured out and changed all the things that were bugging me about my avatar (like not having any eyebrows!)

I can't pretend to be a musician.  But I've enjoyed messing around with sound ever since I discovered the joys of a microphone and an unregistered copy of sndsampler on my family's macintosh performa so many years ago.

without further ado, here's the results of me dicking around with Live.  These are my favorite ones so far.

something

Made with samples from Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, animal crossing, and Evil Dead II.

random sounds (something else)

Field recordings of my hometown early last summer, at around 10:00 at night.  I wish I knew what that bird call was.  The music at the end is just filtered tape noise.

This is a really great picture, with a couple of exceptions: the shadows and the poses.

the shadows don't match up with the light source.  the characters should just have shadows pooling around their feet, like the monster does.

Also, the poses are a little stiff.  I made a small pic to show something a bit more dynamic:


is that boy wearing a cap or is that his hair? if it's the latter, it needs more texture.

I really like the trees and the design/execution of the monster.  good job so far.
