Hey guys.
I am still working on the writing. Finally got to the point where I don't freak out as much and just work steadily.
I also created a new pledge button: "Investor". No, I did not got obnoxious. The truth is I've been asked to put up such button one more then one occasion. And pledging as an "investor" doesn't give you any additional perks. But like I said, it's been bothering me that I promised to created that button and never did. Finally this book can be closed now.
I also put up two new goals... Both are pretty much nominal and would probably happen anyways... But with those goals reached they will happen much sooner.
I will be getting a new laptop next month I think...
And if all goes well I plan to move in 4+ months or so...
And as for "VanArts"...
Well this has been my only goal in life for years now, to be honest. I think if I could do that, if I could have the skill of an actual professional in my disposal there really will be no stopping me... Imagine the things I could create 0_0
A little personal history now:
There is this artist: Steve Rolston. No idea how I stumbled on him but I did... I think it happen 10 years ago or so... I really liked his clean style... back then he was working on this underground comic-book called "Pounded". I ordered the book the moment it went into printing.
Got it.
Loved the shit out of it.
The story was mediocre at best, but the art... Bad-ass dudes, punk-chicks and clean clean inking.
Back then Steve was young as fuck... I googled him now: man got old. Fuck... I didn't get any younger either...
Anyhow, later I found-out that he was teaching a class in VanArts. That's how I discovered the school, and the moment I did - I knew I wanted to be there more then anything... Not because of his class. He is teaching a comic book class, and I think I could teach that myself by now. What I need is drawing skill I want.
I even attempted it once... To enroll into VanArts I mean. Got accepted too. I think 5+ years ago or so... But my visa application didn't go through... They gave me no explanation but I think that was because of that stupid Olympics that's been taking place in Canada during that time...
Looking back now I think it was for the best because to be honest I didn't actually have enough money to pay the VERY HIGH VanArts tuition and I don't know what I was thinking...
When my visa application got rejected I decided to go to "Seattle Central Community Collage"... Got accepted there... Was the only foreigner in the entire design program... (Probably the main reason why I was accepted) Yeah... Long time ago that was...
Anyhow. I'm still alive, still working on the game, still appreciate your patience and patronage...
Don't know what else to say... See you in my next post I suppose...
P.S. If I didn't reply to your message on pateron still I apologize. I will get on that ASAP.you'd like (comments, links, etc.)
