Day 23, uuuuuugh -_-
Posted: November 23, 2009 Filed under: 3D, Crappy Writing | Tags: blender, fair, nanowrimo 5 Comments »Today I only wrote 903 words… and they all suck 🙁
- Total Words: 40,508
- Today’s words: 903
new chapters start… 93: Fair_Day23
Its mostly because I am writing stuff I have been building up to for ages and I’m finding that it’s difficult to get the right tone, so I’m just wading through it as best I can and once I’ve written the rest I’ll come back to this stuff.
also I started storyboarding a trailer but I doubt I’ll ever get round to making it, I dont have the time and there are other projects that will have to take priority (very exciting and cool projects) in december.
bleeeeh, I’ll go at it full steam tommorow. I need to veg out listening to music tonight I think
edit: after watching Logan in super speed I figured I’d check out this multires stuff in blender, and it turns out blender can do what I liked about z-brush but for free, so yay. this guy was made from a cube:
Day 22, lotsa writing and lotsa drawing
Posted: November 22, 2009 Filed under: Art, Crappy Writing | Tags: fair, nanowrimo, sketch Leave a comment »ok, stats first for a change:
- Total words: 39,605 (almost 40k woo)
- Today’s words: 3,011
new chapters start at 85: Fair_Day22
today includes 2 new fights (starting with the one I ducked out of yesterday so you get to see Zephyr vs. Wiynd 😀 ) and in the other fight a major character dies for the first time in ages.
anyhoo, after a good days typing whats better to do than make a crapload of drawings? I wouldnt know, I never managed both at once, but I did try today, I started making some rough sketches for all the characters today, heres some that arent the worst:
left to right: Mavis, Jasu, Doll, Cadence, Ignus
anyhoo, thats me done for today, its time to continue my gintama marathon ^__^
edit: oh yeah, I can draw because I have hijacked my dad’s wacom 😀
Day 21, playing catchup
Posted: November 21, 2009 Filed under: Art, Crappy Writing | Tags: fair, nanowrimo, pixels 1 Comment »so I finally finish reading my novel so far today and am back up to speed, but when I start typing again what do I find? MY WORDCOUNT WAS BROKEN!
somehow on my pc the file had been collecting extra words somewhere and the last draft was closer to 34k than 35k, so I’ve had to catch up to where I thought I was before my wordcount could legitimately go up. but now I’m using the word counter on the NaNoWriMo site itself so from here on all stats are accurate 🙂
- Total words: 36,594
- Words today: 2,563
A good amount written today (turns out this morning I was actually behind the target for the first time all month) if I can keep this pace or maybe enter the konami code and have a couple of days like the first one I’ll finish with time to spare.
anyhoo, new chapters start at no. 80: Fair_Day21
also as I dont have any tablet I’m back to making pixel art (which I totally suck at from lack of practice):
Claire's white event book
Day 13, thats it for the weekend I think
Posted: November 13, 2009 Filed under: Crappy Writing | Tags: fair, nanowrimo Leave a comment »Didn’t get that much written today, but I wasnt expecting to write much anyway, I’m collabing miniLD this weekend with my e-brother so thats what I’ll be doing instead of NaNoWriMo updates.
staaaaaats:
- Total words: 35,099
- Todays words: 1,445 (below average, but above what I need to hit daily to finish on time so its ok)
new chapters are from 76 onwards: Fair_Day13
I don’t know if it shows but it feels like I’m dilly-dallying with the plot at the moment because I’m not confident it will take 15k words to finish, but I’m starting to think I should just go for it and stop worrying, I’ve left some plot stuff on the side I can throw in if needed and that’s not even counting all the descriptions I’ll be adding once the story is done. so yeah, I’ll power on with things once I get back to it, keep the energy for now and if it burns out soon I can fix it up after 😀
Day 12, epic fights and Yuri!
Posted: November 12, 2009 Filed under: Art, Crappy Writing | Tags: fair, nanowrimo, speedpaint, yuri 3 Comments »Another good days progress on the writing front, heres a quote from #NaNoWriMo on dAmn (deviant art message network, dA chatrooms basically):
<GirlFlash> thats me done for today *faints*
* GirlFlash has time left to do an illustration, but theres so many scenes and characters to choose from, I cant decide!
<GirlFlash> OH! PLAN!
<GirlFlash> pick a number between 1 and 76
<Rathunta> 63
<Senseless-pain> 52
<Senseless-pain> 8D
<Schemilix> 13
<GirlFlash> I think 63 is the best for illustrating
<GirlFlash> thanks Rathunta, you picked the chapter with a girl-girl kiss, I’ll get to use the yuri tag on my blog again tonight!
<GirlFlash> :boogie: I love that tag, I should use it more
<Schemilix> Mine needs moar girl/girl.
<GirlFlash> Schemilix: everyone’s needs more girl/girl
and so, heres my (not very good but beeter than none) yuri:
the pose was significantly more awkward to draw than the kiss itself =/
and now for the statters:
- Total words: 33,654
- Today’s words: 3,466 (the power streak continues!)
new chapters start at no. 70 today guys! Fair_Day12
oh, and the epic battles are contained within of course ^_^
