Turn of events

Note to the former team members who ditched Akashik due to lack of faith – please don’t be angry. But an animation studio contacted me yesterday wanting to get with me about creating Akashik the way it was meant to be from the beginning: animated. =^-^=

I haven’t turned them down so much as explained that certain areas were in legal limbo due to certain members leaving the team and that the entire thing was in rewrite. Their answer? Let ’em know when I had it rewritten and free of the content that might cause legal issues. I am lucky here that I stuck to my guns on character creation and wouldn’t let folks tell me what to do in a lot of areas. The concept, design, all of that are all mine. It’s the story content I’ve had to be careful of, and careful I have been.

It’s too soon to go popping wine bottles and shouting hoozah. This wouldn’t be a financial venture, either. They’re a new company looking for a story. They know my babies are looking for their story to get told. On that score it would be a win-win situation – IF I can get my act together. There’s the rub. Stupid financial problems!! *shakes fist*

The thing is: it’s quite the complement. It tells me I’ve done something right somewhere. And that’s encouragement for me to get back to work on things with more gusto – and it doesn’t matter if it makes it to animation at this stage or not. I have been complemented. Work awaits!

Death

I’ve been preoccupied lately with work while getting nothing done. Things are balancing out so that I’m able to back off even more and consider making comics a bit more of more in my time schedule. This is good.

3D developments continue: made an Akashik comic the other day simply because I could. It doesn’t look how I like it yet – probably will never – and I’m actually considering making up a process where it’s half drawn and half 3d. This way it would have more of my flavor but my hand might survive the making. Anyway, it’s no rush considering the finances and all that. One thing at a time.

On another comic note, I’m incredibly frustrated. I found a way to return 10 Confessions back to its original form. This return would help my hand, put 10 Confessions back on track, and make things how I want them. It was an art plugin called AKVIS that made it possible. I had a trial version, and that version ran out. So I’m sitting here stuck on 10 – so close, so very very close – until I can get the money to continue. It’s like being stuck outside the wall wanting in from the cold. Brrr!

And finally, I do have more Cyphacon and (now) Bayoucon footage for you. I keep trying to upload the next segment and it keeps timing out. We’ve been having some internet troubles lately so maybe that’s it. But I am working on it, I promise!

And I guess that’s it for now, eh?
