I've seen some of your works and the comics on your site. You've got some good creative talent there, and an obvious love for that classic computer - the C64!

Mostly, it's life sidetracking me with college and all. I'm trying to get college done so I can finally graduate. Aaah. (Fifth year in college...)

However, I do still try to work on the c64 comics and that's one of the few projects I've been able to stick with.

Darn you lucky people! Since I don't have the money for those 3D graphics/animation programs, I have to aquire them another way (As for what way, I'm NOT saying. Too much trouble.... and I don't mean in the 'I'm-lazy' sorta way. So DON'T ask. If you do, I'm going to have to beat you to a bloody pulp and say 'Don't do what I do at home or anywhere else for that matter, kid.' ) *Is still a poor college student* One day... just one day.... *Sigh*

i've said this once, and i'll say it again.

i got my version of Maya free with Unreal Tournament 2003. all i had to do to get it working was register on the website [since i registered, not a single spam email from them] then install the package.

i got a good bargain there! an excellent game [if anyone hasn't played UT2004/2004 then you haven't lived properly] an editor for the game, AND a free version of maya! all for £18

Which Unreal Tournament do you need to buy to get Maya? You mentioned both UT03 and UT04... do they both have it? That's cool to know! It must be a stripped down version of Maya, though... no?

I have what I believe is a full version of Maya that a friend just handed me once. Big pile o'software and it included maya, Premiere, Photoshop, Autodesk Animator and a lot of other cool stuff. I use most of it, but as of yet have not fired up Maya.

Traahn Wrote:...Thanks for the interest! You actually inspired me to update my site with more sketches/works and change the layout so there are thumbnails now. http://www.angelfire.com/wa2/void (You can thank AngelFire.com for the pop-up ads.) I guess you could say my website is an example of a perpetual "work-in-progress" I plan to eventually work in Flash a bit more to make my site a little more dynamic. (So far I've only built simple Flash stuff for other people, and most of my artwork is done by pens and pencils, rather than oils.) I only have one finished oil painting and I did it about 10 years ago; and it's nothing special. That's why I kinda want to do one today! (Note: Thanks a lot, Todd! LOL. I planned to get my deck completely sanded and stained today, but I've been working in PhotoShop and HTML editor instead, thanks to you!) Hehehe.

I just checked out ALL the images on your site, Traahn - VERY impressive artwork!

I see that many of your works are still in progress, but they still look great. Funny thing - I have the song Haccuna Matata (sp?) stuck in my head now - DOH!

Great selections for artwork as well. I'm glad you updated your site and decided to show off your stuff. You should add your site & link to your signature - you may get more hits that way Let people know you've got your stuff out there.

And I didn't suffer from the evil pop-ups - I've got a good POP UP KILLER! Haaa ha ha ha ha! It takes care of those ANNOYING damn pop-ups!

I've been considering adding a "Null Zone" or "Dead Project Zone" or something like that to my own site recently. Last night, I figured I'd just do it today... but I didn't feel inspired to do so in the morning

I do a lot of experimental stuff and have some unfinished projects that will probably never get done and no one will ever see... and yet they have cool elements to them that I'd like to offer for viewing.

I've always been VERY strict about showing anyone unfinished works in the past. I almost NEVER show people ANYTHING until complete... unless it's a fellow artist whom I'm seeking creative feedback from while it's in progress.

But I've got some other cool visual experiments and just "did this because I was bored one day" stuff that I've never showed anyone (aside from a couple friends via e-mail).

Perhaps I should add a "Experimental Clips" and "Abandon Projects" pages too...

You know - I've got so many clips of this and that... I'm not even sure where half of them ended up. I'd have to check dusty old CDs!

Oh well - better to show something than nothing, perhaps. My site sure could use more content. Maybe I should add some incomplete (dead) projects... or not... I don't know. Maybe just the experimental and visual FX demos or something. Incomplete projects are so... well... so rough around the edges. It's different with the incomplete project is a video work - they don't tend to look so good when unfinished. Hard to explain, but I think you understand.

Oh - and YOU'RE WELCOME!

You know - for not having to work on your deck today because you were glued to PhotoShop and HTML authoring He he he.

I think I am going to have to give it a try now.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Whoops. Sorry about that.

Damn song - stuck in my head!

Ok - I checked out the brief flash animation you added to your site. It played just fine the first time. A nice touch

Sure - you should add sound to your TRON animation, and perhaps some other TRON-ish things perhaps. That would be cool.

Traahn Wrote:Ahh, I wish I could do this kind of stuff for work; it's fun!

Yeah - I wish I could use my creative talents at work too. I do to some extent - I mean I think up innovative ways for ripping data from the information systems offered by manufacturers... and then I try to automate the process to gather all the data with minimal human resources involved. It requires some creativity. But for the most part - my job is very, VERY BORING. It keeps the bills paid though I guess that's why I keep showing up for work

But to me - my job is just something that gets in the way of my creative interests. If only I didn't have to spend so much time each week (50+ hours a week) there - I would have more time and energy to devote to my creative interests!

Some day...

Hey - that's pretty cool looking (and sounding)!

I like that. Nice job. And the continuous ambient computery sound is a nice touch - and a button to turn off the continuous sound - pretty slick!

I wish I knew when the heck I was doing in Flash. This was one of the first applications that I could not instantly figure out and teach myself how to use. I spent hours some time ago, only to learn how to change a shape in to a slightly different shape. I was really lost in there I haven't tried playing with it since - and that was 4 years ago.

I guess the video editing apps. are more my digital canvas of choice.

You should do more creative Flash work. I bet you come up with some very cool animations And if your winters are anything like ours (cold, lots of snow, freezing cold, more snow, and a little more snow on top of that) - then you will have plenty of indoor time coming up to do stuff like that

More updates made to the sounds...
