curent updates of my week will

so I'm trying really hard to start doing portraits for money. i sorta need to make aprox. $360 to pay for some stuff.
so i need practice with portraits.
thus i shall be doing you tube portraits! :D

do you have a you tube acc.? with videos in it? do they have YOUR face in them? why then just subscribe to my profile and i might just do a portrait of you!

Might being the word of choice. i get to choose when and who i do for A, i pick at random. B i need a half decent shot I'm not gonna draw someone with some retarded look on there face cause they can't make a straight face at a camera. C, i have time restraints.

anyways I'll be starting later on this week, taking a two week brake at the end of next month because of rock camp. and then I'll be back at it, hopefully by then I'll be selling them as well.

and I'm not to bad right now anyways, so if you want to pay $15 for a line art portrait. (additional pricing for additions such as toning and ink.) and you live in Halifax or feel comfortable sending me the money first. then leave me a comment in my e-mail in box.

my addy is Melontheman@hotmail.com

anyways, to add to awesome. I'm reading some sandman books i got from the library. I have been Waiting for YEARS to read these books. they are deliciouses. they should be mandatory reading for all art students.

also I'm working on Project PIXYZ again right now. i finally got my computer back from the dead. every thing's safe. and i've got some fresh ideas to add to the story, make it better then it was before.

and MHC part one is finished. I'm diving into the new chapters with a totally new page layout and Colour!

that's all for today. here's something cool looking.

script frenzy begins

so today is the first day of Scrip Frenzy! and i've got 700+ words written down to start off my script. i've been exploring the special short hands and set ups that are used in scripts. (the Screnzy forums are a great help, as well as the tutorials on the site.) but anyways, lets not bore you people with random talk of technical stuff. at least not today.
I'm unsure of weather scripts are my favorite form of writing though. i love working in a visual medium though, so scripts are for the most part important. it's just that with a movie script i have to consciously stop myself from OVER explaining things. if you over explain a characters actions and such, the actor is left without a place to put himself. all the artists that work on the sets can't put themselves in there if the sets are set out precisely in a script. it goes the same for all the other people who have a hand in the creation of a film.
but i still enjoy writing scripts because their so easy for me. for the exact reasons stated prior. their just not my favorite.

ANYWAYS! so the script is a sort of surreal mafia story. i've got some fun characters and some classic gangster personalities, with a bit of unique ability's for a few of the characters (not like super powers or anything, just small stuff.) I've gotta say i might turn this into a comic after, or actually film it. not really sure. but it'll go into my vault of writings.

anyways... that's pretty much all I have for today
peace out
-Milan

free hugs

check it http://www.freehugscampaign.org

i'll be hitting halifax on the third, if you want a free hug I'm at the wandering grounds.

omg! only 4 and a half days in script frenzy starts! and I've got an idea and finger are itching and D: i can't wait! it's gonna be like lucky number sleven meats the matrix, staring that guy from unbrakeable, i can't remember his name right now. (i can dream!)

in other news. mine and my brother cartoon is in concept stages! :D concept arrrrt!
(the pictures are on the other computer, I'll edit this when i have them)
anyways, all I've got so far is concepts for two of the characters. but the idea for the rest it pretty much solid... in my mind...

also i have a new page of MHC up on hyper-comix, go check it out!
the link is on the side of the page. second one down.
finaly i can finish the chapter. the next few chapters are gonna be intense people. really intense. so intense it'll be like... i dunno I'm making a fool of myself lol.

that's about it for now. peace out people.

hey i'm posting more often!

yeah, it's a good thing isn't it.

so me and my brother have been working on a series for the past... year? year and a half? i don't really know anymore. ANYWAYS, it's gone through... three... four incarnations? already, though the premise hasn't changed... or well... space hasn't changed anyways.

so yeah, it deals with two 18/20 year olds getting thrust into space and lots of craziness ensues. I'm reluctant to call it a 'web toon' due to the pidgin hole that term has found itself in, but it is going to be on the internet, so it technically is a webtoon.

anyways, we have some pretty crazy stuff planned for it. lots of characters lots of fun events to go through. and were serious enough about it that there will be those "mushy" parts that will make you want more and more and MORE!

anyways, so we were testing out gimp as a compiler for everything. it's nothing like flash, but we don't have flash and from what i remember i don't have adobe image ready... (I'm getting my adobe back! yay! :3) here's the link to the video on you tube if you want to hear my sexy voice. *wink wink* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo-BR_dh3wo




so yeah here's a concept doodle for the main character of this project me and mah brother are doing.

the hair's gonna change and maybe her nose will be more slender. but i like allot of what I'm seeing. and i've got more in my head. oh god she's gonna be a fun character to write. :3

oh and last night i found all six episodes of fooly cooly online. (I'm gonna have to buy that series when i have the money)

EDIT, look my blog looks like candy!

life life life. and some Kissing chaos online *glee!*

so i get to read a kissing chaos comic, ONLINE! :3 it's pretty cool. fills me with glee even. go check it out on the KC website, http://www.kissingchaos.com and go buy that guys comic books. amazing art people. amazing. anyways.

other then that. life, i still don't have a job because there's no work for me at work. so i've been around town dropping of resumes. as i've put it I'm 'backstabbing the boss 24/7' oops. to bad for him, i need reliable hours man! reliable!

anyways yeah, other then that. lots of stuff art wise, I'm doing some tutorials for DA. nothing fancy, just techniques i know for drawing faces and whatnot. I'm thinking of doing a tut with everything i know about comics. i swear i know more techniques then i use lol. also since i can't get my web comic updates online properly just yet. i'm writing a side story, and it has EEEEEVIL!!!!! things... in it. I'm done the first chapter, i just need to send it through my sister for editing. :3

oh and Script Frenzy http://www.scriptfrenzy.com
I'll be participating this year. the first year it's happening. 20K words of a script on 30 days... yeah I'm not going to be serious about it. but i do know one thing. I'm gonna make a crazy action mafia script... i'm trying my best not to have TO many ideas for it just yet. i want it to be a challenge. though i gotta say i've trained my brain enough that it really isn't a challenge to think up a plot line in like... one minute. if i really wanted to. :3

anyways, yeah... that's all... for now... oh and here are two funny doodles of hellboy.

and something random

not so artists blocked

anyways, so i don't have a job for the next while, apparently. because my boss filled the greenhouse up just a bit to much.

yeah, nice guy. but he doesn't know what he's doing.

anyways, so that means i wont get as much money as i PLANED on making.
this T's me off! i want to yell! very very loudly! possibly loud enough that the neighbor can hear my frustration.

anyways, check this peace out. it is badly scanned.

artist block?

i have a seriously serious case of artist block, not only the fact that my adobe on a broken computer not helping, but I've got absolutely no muse, no ideas, no want to make anything, drawings, poetry, scripts, photography, it's all blah... I'm even being stupid with my music though I'm getting back into that.

anyways. so i may or may not get my job this summer. which means I'm on the edge of a knife when it comes to getting that tablet i wanted this year. anyways, if i do or if i don't I'm still going to summer rock. gonna rock it out man!

anyways, if you are into interesting covers, check out Jenny owen youngs cover of "it's getting hot in herre" I never liked Nellys version but i can't get enough of Jennys.

speaking of music, Tegan and Sara announced the release of their new album, it'll be out this year. and it's called the con. i can't wait. also Sara... or was it Tegan? they sing back up on one of rise against songs on there new CD (which is postponed) I'm not an uber rise against fan, but there good and i wanna hear that song :3

but yeah anyways, my webcomic MHC is on hold for now, you can see why with the recent away page i posted. check it http://mrhappyscorner.hyper-comix.com.

but yeah... i dunno not allot going on...

saw V for vendetta the other day, i was very pleased with the ending and think now was a great time for the movie to come it. it held a lot of meanings in it.

peace out,
and if anyone reads this, sorry for not posting in so long.

my brain needs to stop projecting

sorry for not posting in such a long time, no real excuse. but here i am again. back in action.

you know, even though I’m not big on blood and gore especially the graphic stuff the Silent Hill movie pleased me. I recently saw it with the majority of my family (it's a real good family movie! :D... if no one's like 12. lol) and it really was a great horror, but i recognized so many elements of suspense/thriller in it. which i think is what made it and the games so good (I’ve only ever seen SH4 being played, but popular opinion supports my statement!).
I also liked that the blood and gore was (to an extent) not glorified and it really was creepy and disturbed. that's why i want to see a horror, because this shit does disturb me. and emotion is the base meaning for all artwork.

anyways, i also hit 7K hits with my DA that's 3 thousand hits in like... two and three quarter months. or something like that. I’m pleased.

also i have another project (project DH)... yeah i need to prioritize, but this one wont go into actual production till i get everything around it set up. (like a website, and the script, and the character designs. probably not for another year or so.)
but i got some more done on the PIXYZ books i actually have the beginning of the first and last book but not the middle book that one's going to be a little hard to start off. A+ people this is going to be A+

that's all for now really. oh and here's the drawing i did for my 7K hits at DA...

lame i know, but i wanted to practice colouring. you can see a larger version on my DA acc.

simply about life.

so today, i look at the family dog... he is getting fat, i swear were spoiling him to much...

anyways. not allot of exciting stuff going on. school, lazing around. i got a bit more done on my PIXYZ books. and I'm doing a 12?... yeah about that, a 12 page comic using the original script for the movie 'Stay' i feel it would be good for a portfolio to put a few of the better pages in it. for diversity.

also I'm wondering if anyone has any links to some nice blogspot skin codes. simple codes that can be easily edited. or at least codes with markers to show where to put what. i might have mentioned this in my last post... but i don't remember. oh well.

anyways... that's all peace out.

three days after that day of 'Lurv'

so valentines day passed. I made a bunch of cards for a bunch of people i know because hey why not! also I’ve got no one of my own to lavish hours and hours of time on, so i needed something to keep my mind off of that.

Anyways i realize i said i would post a link to a picture i drew of another dude's characters. so here's that.http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/47560838/?qo=8&q=by%3Amelon-man&qh=sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps

also here's a one page comic i did today out of random inspirations including dony darko and some British movie i saw a while back. i called the page 'Air Born'

so if you want some back story to understand what was going on in my head read the words in red otherwise skip that boring drivel.

So the two kids (no names) were playing baseball when suddenly in the middle of the field SPLAT this woman lands out of the air. Shattering her bones and spilling her contents, anyways these kids are desensitized thanks to movies but are still kind of in shock so there kind of not thinking right. Anyways, the woman was alive from the instant she began to fall till the moment she landed; this was because of a rift in the fabric of time-space. There’s no reason why this happened, but just think what she must have experienced in that instant of life, Realizing things but not knowing the danger ahead.

anyways. the whole thing isn't that interesting. but i thought it was cool. and lucky readers of my blog, your the only one's who get to see it! i figure i might as well have some cool stuff just for blog readers.

soooo yeah...

i bought a skate board for 14$ at Wal-Mart. there was a big sale cause it's moving locations so i was like cool! i don't actually know how to RIDE a skatboard but hey... you know... it's just another form of transportation.
