Art gaming

New day or late evening of a new day, yes, that's it.

So what I've been doing lately is, apart from procrastinating, working on the new prospect provided by my purchase of:-





Yes, I've entered the world dominated by Jrpgs, that is Japanese Role-Playing Games. Though my opinion that they aren't really much of anything to do with roleplaying aside, this could well be the way forwards for me, as there are many groups seeking commercial standard team members and so here I am, with stylus and tablet at the ready, putting together a bit of a portfolio.

I'm going to start this with doing artworks for opening screens, character art, and also even sprites and such.  I think it's more commercially promising than anything else I've been trying so far.

So wish me luck, for what it's worth, heh.

I'm also going to attempt a project of my own, for the ol' portfolio, as a sample of what I can do with my brain and my fingers, with maybe an eye or two thrown into the mix, and also some other organs perhaps...

My starting point is just posting on the forums, so that people get used to me.  So after I've made a bit of a nuisance of myself now, I'm going to attempt some art challenges on there, the first of which is to attempt this:-

The 25 minute result:-

And so, curtains for thought.

Here I am, facing today.  As far as I understand it's been raining again, and yet, it's another day where I've not opened my curtains and so don't actually know what the weather has been like.

Before we go any further, this is a fine pictorial example of curtainage:-

Fine, apparently.

A lot of people seem to measure things by curtains I've realised, and that is mainly if a person is awake or not, or perhaps dead, though having typed that I realise that not being awake could also be covered by the label 'dead'.

Well as far as I'm concerned, for me, being awake and those items called curtains have no connection as such.  Sometimes I open them before I go to bed, and sometimes I open them after I wake up.  I might open them before I go out, or I might take the other option and close them, or I might not touch them for days.  To my neighbours, this is a source of great consternation, and I'm obviously, lazy, dirty and a useless leech on society and all its resources, for my failure to adhere to the unspoken rules of curtaining.

I could be dead though, and seriously, at least one of the two cats would probably be dead by the time anyone bothered to check.  People back where I grew up used to close the curtains as a mark of respect, if somebody who had lived in the same street had died.  So hey, maybe I'm just pre-empting my demise and paying my respects to myself.  Sub-concious self respect, what a wonderful thing to realise that I've held it within me this whole time.

Currently munching a warm croissant, while considering the rest of this evening, and how I can upset the order of the universe by just not doing something, or just plain doing something that is not on other people's schedules.
