Energia, Iron Sky

So yeah.

I'm gonna be doing my work placement at Energia Productions... I guess thats how you say it. I don't know how to talk about this stuff in english.

I will be mostly doing 3D work for their Iron Sky movie. Starting as soon as I find a place to sleep somewhere closer to Tampere.

It's gonna be awesome.

Adventures of Leonard Shepard

I've been playing Mass Effect 2 alot. It's really great.

At first I was playing the game with a female character. Then my friends told me it was weird. I tried to explain it's a character, not me, but I ended up making a male character anyways.

This is him.

He is European. A bit old, but the dyed hair and awesome moustache make up for it. He is the savior of the universe.

Now obviously I made him so I could giggle at every cut scene where the other characters treat him completely normal. (A bit like my GTA san andreas character).

But just when I thought I had pushed the ridiculousness to it's limit, I find out they released some special dlc. And my character took on a whole new look.

Oh how I love customizing characters.

Blastwaavu

Hello people!

I know some people have been eagerly waiting for an update since the first minutes of 2010 (dunno, weird traffic spike on the first), so I thought I'd inform you a bit.

I previously said I had written 10 pages. It's 9 now. And at any point I didn't have one to ... start it all off. So I was originally planning on doing the page last sunday, but didn't actually have any ideas. Now then... I do have an idea but due to work and sickness related issues I have to sacrifice this weekend to catching up with school work.

So comic next week! yay!

Maybe I'll manage to continue other projects before the end of the month too. And tgsa related explanations will be put on that page later on.

Buy Blastwave!

Buy a Blastwave vol 1! Here!

The thing is... they need to be sold off before may. Any copies left at the end of march are gonna be sent to me and are gonna spend the rest of eternity in most likely my parents basement.

As far as I know there's roughly 500 left. So I don't expect to sell all of them, but I really don't want hundreds of those things. I certainly wouldn't start sending them out.

So if you don't have one already and want one, you have a few months left to decide! I'd of course appreciate it alot!

Like mentioned before, the comic continues in january, and I'll put this info on there too then.

Update thing

Project work in school for 3 months. Nelonen Project. Guess more on that later. Don't know how much of this I'm allowed to talk about. Though doubt they expected any of us to keep secrets as it is a school project. So... um... We'll I have nothing to say on the project.

I am gonna start updating blastwave once a month for the next year (wrote 10 pages). Wonderful eh? Don't know about the year after that. Probably gonna fall into another endless hiatus.

I am looking for short animation projects I could do, but can't think of anything. I have 2 unfinished ones already though... I really have trouble with this.

Look I'm writing something!

Blog update woo!

Blastwave: thats it.

I was really hoping I'd get it, but no. The advert sites are too fast.

So blastwave now and forever at: http://www.blastwave-comic.com/

Slowly moving forward.

First of all. The fate of the blastwave domain is still unclear at this point, I decided not to pay 160 dollars for it, and I think it's beyond redemption already anyways (in the literal sense). In a few more days I'll know if can regain it or not. Whatever happens with it, this address will be functional for at least a year. Now stop being so over dramatic about it.

I have like 3 projects underway right now. And a few more lingering things I wanna get to at some point. A few more commissions popped up while a few were on hold already!

But before I get to do anything, I need to get the goddamn astronaut thing done. My portion of the work should be done this week. No news on publishing date. It feels like this thing has been keeping me from doing anything fun for a month now.

I saw District 9. It was fucking great. The story could have been a tad better and they could have explained just a bit more... but robot suit makes up for that.

Domain Trouble

So like uhh... Yeah.

I was under the impression that I was free to renew the blastwave domain at anytime in the 30 days after it expired with the normal price... like it used to be. Apparently due to some new stuff happening that I was not aware of... it now costs 160 dollars.

Now I'm trying to decide if its really worth that, or if I should gamble with trying to get it back once it's released to the wild.

Erggh.

Hrr

I guess I should start getting back into doing stuff.

Only roughly 2 weeks of vacation this summer. I have managed to avoid summer jobs and such before this and usually had the full 2 months free. In these past few days it felt like I really NEEDED those 2 months. But now, after just basically lying in bed for 4 days... I think I'm okay.

Back to work on the moon thing. Some other competition has been found to replace the old one, but I forgot what it was now. There shouldn't be much left to do on it anyways.

If nothing horrible comes up once school starts (I suspect the first class is pretty easy going) I'll probably try to finish my now almost half a year old dwarf animation. Also starting to paint again.

In other news:
The Blastwave domain is going through a yearly ritual of death and rebirth. Don't worry about it.

This made me laugh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYBRFJ9RArc

District 9 comes to finland on the 28th. I try to see it then.
