To be honest, nothing much aside from work and job and work and job. Same as always.

But today, I am given permission to say what project I belong to atm.
What exactly is this "job" I kept mentioning for the past months:

Abu Dhabi's first anime has revealed a 1-minute trailer back in April:


I proudly want to say I'm a part of the team behind it.

Studio Kontrabida, the studio behind the game Last Class Heroes, have invited me back in December to join them and help work with an anime in partners with Alter Ego Productions.
And of course, I accepted the offer. And it's been a blast since then. (cliche line, but really, it's an awesome work)
Kontrabida Update: [link]

I've done various things for the project Torkaizer, ranging from storyboard, cleaning up 3d models, drawing in-betweens, to hand-animating crowd.
~mogumogumogu handled some character designing, keyframes, and editing with various aspects.
*eko999 handled various mech designs.
~teygraphy did a handful of backgrounds. Many can be seen in the trailer.
~luckykoifish worked on the poster.
-Wyn did various 3d models.
-And of course, boss Leo of Kontrabida handled some directing, organizing, and our awesome boss. Not to mention he's the one who invited me to this project.

There are many other people involved in the project, but I only know a few people, sadly.


_{So um, the reason why I'm saying all this is, well, I have no updates to say aside from work. *hides*}

Long story short: Job job job job job.
_{And sadly, no hand or blow in there. Boring. JKJKJK}

But really, for the past months, i've been busy with job. We even had to rush a 1-minute anime trailer for 2 weeks at one point.
_{There were some days of depression too while I had to do job and attend some events, but everyone experiences that, so it's not a huge surprise or watevs.}


And I attended 2 events for the past week:

I went to Summer Komikon and saw some of my co-workers there in person. Really awesome!

We even had the chance to play the 1-minute trailer in the projector of the convention. Heheheheheh.
_{We all orgasm'ed, rofl}

And I went to Maid 2 Travel. I became a part of the event's art contest judges. It was hard to look through the artworks, considering there were many great ones.
Aside from that, it was fun (and really surprising) that I met many fans there. (I rarely meet fans IRL)
_{Thanks for the warm welcome, guys! I hope you all like my quick trad drawings I made as autographs!}


I guess that's all.
Fun and joyous times, depressing and regretting times, it all ends to one thing: Back to job for me.
_{Thanks for reading!}

Just a small update.Hey guys!
Just letting you know that I am feeling a bit better now. I still have a lot of homework to catch up on, so the voting isn't gonna start just yet, but maybe I'll have time this weekend! I've also decided how the voting will take place.
There will be 3 rounds of voting.
In the first round, there will be 9 polls, each with 9 entries. The top 3 from each of those will go on to the second round, with a possibility of up to 3 wild-card entries, if there are some exceptional ones that seem to not get through. Who knows, I might even make a wild-card poll too if the situation calls for it.
In the second round, there will be 3 polls, each with either 9 or 10 entries, depending on wild-cards. Once again, the top 3 from each will go on to the final round, with a possibility of 1 wild card. once again, might make a wild-card poll, might not, just as there might not even BE a wild card entry. The wild cards are entirely situational, and will be dealt with as the polling goes on.

Not to forget #MikeInel-FanClub's contest!

EVENT-TAN

_{(Characters belong to the respective artists of the first 5 entries: [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] )}

Based from the previous contest (Object-tan), they're continuing the saga by creating the Event-tan contest! It's where everyone is free to join and create the best design of a human form of an event.
It can be Valentine's Day, it can be Marriage, it can be a first kiss, anything that aren't considered actions, animals, humans or objects!

The prices are the following:
1st place: 2000 points + Commission Artwork by Mikeinel
2nd place: 1250 points + Commission Artwork by Mikeinel
3rd place: 750 points + Commission Artwork by Mikeinel

More information can be seen in the following links:
New contest? Yes! Event-tan, GO!Wow guys!
After the overwhelmingly positive response I've gotten yesterday on the question of the event-tan contest, I just couldn't help but make this official ASAP! So here it is! Officially announcing the winter 2012-2013 event-tan contest!
So, here's the rules: If you've got an idea... GO FOR IT! If you have any doubts about if your idea would be accepted or not, just ask here, and I'll be glad to tell you if it's ok or not.
So, first off... what IS an event-tan? Well, remember our object-tan contest from last summer? (If not, check out the old blog posts, and the submission folder.) Well, same concept, except this time, instead of anthropomorphizing objects, we're doing the same thing to events.
Now that we've cleared THAT out of the way... what IS an event? Well, quite simply, a little bit of anything. It can be Christmas or new year's, it can be the holidays in general, it can be birthdays, first kiss, the Mayan apocalypse (or just the apocalypse in general even), the winter sol Happy new year! And a little update.So, a little late, but happy new year everybody! Hope it was a good one!
Green here with some news that's sure to make you all happy! But first, I want to say a few things.
First of all, I've received this question a few times, and I'll make this clear now. Mike Inel will NOT be drawing the winners of event-tan himself. It's unfortunate, but he's busy, and just can't make time for it. Please don't hold it against him. (Or me. Seriously.) THINGS CHANGED!
Second of all, I want to remind people that when drawing their event-tans, it is an EVENT that is being drawn, not an object. For example, someone asked me about first medal earlier, it is the event of winning/receiving that first medal that will be the focus of the drawing, not the medal itself. I would draw you all an example, but I suck horribly at drawing. Also, I wasn't specific enough for the time the contest ends in my last post. Nobody asked, but I realized it myself. I did say it was at the crack of midnight be

Have fun!




I was recently interviewed by the lovely =Saviroosje!
The link to the interview:
Interview with: Mike Inel Hi there
:iconsaviroosje:
I had a little interview with MikeInel:iconmikeinel:
First of all, who is MikeInel? If you never have heard of him, or saw his artwork, you surely miss something! MikeInel is a 24 year old guy who has a big passion for art and animations. He also makes some awesome games. What I like about Mike is his style, his concepts are wonderful and so deep. You can see he puts his heart in every drawing. If you are interested he also takes commissions a lot and has livestreams very often! So you can watch him work! Isn't that amazing!?
Mike is the maker of the famous animation, about a boy and a girl, separated by a glass wall: "Draw With Me."

Recently he had an "Object Tan" Contest. An Object tan is a character made from an object. (PS3-TAN, even Chair-tan, Fridge-Tan, Wii-tan and go on, haha)
The winner got an amazing animation made my him. The result is wonderful, I really let some tears seeing this. It has an amazing impact, on me


There hasn't been much updates yet. For the past month, I've been busy with job, and that's about it.
I'm trying my best to squeeze a few more time for other things as well, such as hobbies, social life, finance, etc.
_{(Much like how me and ~PuddingPie are in good terms now; doing random collab with *ChuuStar recently; going back to finish an unfinished project; etc.)}
Sadly, OuO sequel's progress will be paused until the other unfinished project is finished.


On another note:
Only 2 weeks 1 week left now before the start of the comic convention here in Baguio City, Philippines! The venue has been changed, so make sure to check the details!

Happy Holidays to everyone!

I wish I got something for everyone, it's a shame I have nothing.
Sorry guys.

This is the only thing I have so far:

That one's still work in progress, of course.


_{And I want to say thanks to sir Aura, miss Weee, and to everyone else over at 4LS for inviting me to their Secret Santa. Minisite: [link] Blog post: [link]}

So far, all I see is a realization that I'm getting old, inactive, outdated, and poor.
_{Well, not entirely poor, but definitely not as good my family used to in terms of dough.
And I will kill to stop the time. Like, srsly time, c'mooon. Don't be a kill joy and stop, would ya?}

Instead of listing my progress, I decided to list down the projects I left hanging.



The list:
^{to give fans more reason to hunt me down}
-An iOS game about artworks (all 60+ of them in HD)

-A music video featuring Megurine Luka and a young talented music artist

-The making of Katawa Shoujo animations

-OutT game port to Unity web player (instead of Flash, and with better controls)


Naw, but really, the main reason I'm posting that list is to remind myself (and guilt-trip myself while I'm at it) of the things I left behind everytime I visit my page.

I really miss my old self when I used to scribble every single effing day.
Welp, can't be helped.



Looking at the bright side:

The OuO sequel is almost done. This one is a big, big, biiiig expansion compared to its predecessor, but sadly, it can only run on 3GS and above... (and will require a buck. That or jailbreak, rofl) I will make a lite version too, of course.
The original OuO is available on Appstore: [link]

And I got hired by a studio to work on a big-ass project. Hopefully it will solve my financial crap soon. I'm personally excited about this, been researching a lot ever since I got in. But that would also mean I will have lesser chance to work on the unfinished projects.
Oh well, priorities.



Welp, that's that. Advance Happy New Christmas Year!


Update:
Thank you everyone for the kind words. I'm really glad people understands.

Things became inactive and random for me for the past months. Priorities are really random as well.

Many happened too. I'll tell you my stories, so feel free to get some snacks while you read my totally long journal entry. (Don't worry, they're not rants)

At one point, my Mac mini stopped working. I'm a PC fan myself, and I only have a Mac exclusively for iOS development. I was worried that I have to buy another Apple computer, but of course I went looking for technicians and engineers first. Turns out it's just the adapter failing. I started cursing at first, claiming "The ever so famous Apple that makes quality products just failed on me randomly? What the hell!" Technicians can't fix it, so I bought another adapter from an online shop instead. When I finally got it, I read the details on the label and realized it's a 110V adapter. I was inserting the old adapter on a 220V socket for months. It was me who's doing it wrong, lol, I take back my words. I even became more than impressed, knowing it's a 110V and it survived on a 220V socket for months, when normally 110V appliances fail the instant they get inserted on a 220V socket. (Like how my 110V Wii adapter popped)
Thanks Apple. (No sarcasm)

Another story I got is my Intuos 4L that became unusable for months because the mini-USB hubs are busted. I looked everywhere back then, ranging from computer technicians to electric engineers. They all refused to work on it because they claim it's too small and fragile. I didn't want to have to settle to an official Wacom center because I know it'll cost me a fortune. In the end, it only took me 200 pesos (5 bucks) to have it repaired successfully..... From a cellphone repair shop. It only took them an hour to fix it too, and now I'm using it like it wasn't broken before.
Awesommme

Another one is, I was looking for ways to get something close to Cintiq, without having to pay a minimum of a thousand bucks.
There are some alternatives that I found so far:
TabletMod: [link] Basically, you place an LCD or LED of a laptop on top of an Intuos. (there are other details, like cables of course)
AirDisplay: [link] It's where you make your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad into a secondary monitor, and have touch input as well. Although no pen-pressure, and a bit laggy.
Adonit Jot Touch [link] A pen for iPad that have pen-pressure via bluetooth. Sadly, it's limited to supported apps. (And it's a hundred bucks)
Yiynova: [link] (Credit goes to *sasokity for discovering that, via journal: [link]) It's basically a not-exclusively-made-for-rich-guys-only version of Cintiq. (in short cheaper)

Lastly, it took me exactly 3 weeks to finish this one: [link]

Other than those, I got nothing anymore. I gotta go back to finishing the iOS game again. (And do commissions for bills while I'm at it)
Kinda depressing though, this iOS game was already in development since the first release of iPad. Now iPhone5 is already out, and it's still not done...

All of the submissions will go through a tournament style poll:

_{You might be wondering, why does it have to be a tournament style poll? Why not put all of the 100 entries in a single poll?
-One reason is: Have you tried looking for the best work from all 100 images to choose from? It's insane, I tell 'ya.
-Another reason is: DeviantArt poll is limited to 10 items per poll.
-Lastly: We didn't used polls or surveys outside Deviantart to avoid complications.}

The prizes have been updated as well! Check the link below~
10 days left, and still more prizes being added!Hey folks! Green here to annoy you once more!
First off, I wanted to remind you folks that there's only 10 days left until the deadline. That's at 11:59:59 pm, pacific time (UTC - 8:00) on August 20th! After this, we won't be accepting any more submissions.
Now that the official business stuff is covered, on to a more fun subject! We've got even MORE prizes to be added to the pool! We'd like to thank our very own :iconMikeInel: for throwing in an extra 500 points per winner, for a total of 1500 points. We'd also like to thank :iconCrossants: for also adding 900 more points to the prize pool (which we decided to get a little creative with, with his blessing). So now, unless we end up getting even more people surprising us with their generosity, the final prize pool should end up like this:
1st place : 2190 points, a digital drawing from :iconultimatesketchqueen: (coloured) and having your object-tan redrawn by :iconMikeInel:;
2nd place : 1500 points, a digital sketch from :iconultimates
_{1 more day to go.}

Things have been different for me for the past months.

-I announced my status on Somnova Studios as hiatus. (Really sorry guys)
-I halted the progress of the music video. (It was almost done)
-I started taking commissions. (Out of the blue)
-And I'm going back to finishing the iOS game I neglected to work on for a year now. (lol)

All of these were caused by one single thing:
_{Financial crisis}

My apologies to the people out there who find my actions quite annoyingly different from my usual.


Oh, and don't forget the fanclub's contest!
[UPDATE V. 0.1] Object-tan Contest!:iconmikeinel: has offered to draw the top 3 winner's Object-tans How awesome of him, yeah?
____________________________________________________________
I would like to announce an up coming contest! (I know this is out of the blue, the admins and I were contemplating it a while back but I think we're ready to take this on.)
"Object-Tan!"
The goal of the "object-tan" contest is to pick ANY object (Speakers, remote, printer... Lamp? ect.) and personify it, or turn it into a human(like) figure. Much like how Mike did for the Console Wars.
Remember?


Now I think a big part of this contest is to go crazy, be creative and do things your own way. So there is no real restrictions. Just title the piece after the object you chose, and submit it to the folder I've set up for this contest.
CONTEST DEADLINE:
August 20th (for now)
ENTRY LIMIT:
Enter as many times as you want! Make as many Object-tans as you want!
PRIZE:
There has been an update of additional prizes:
My first blog entry! (also, sweetening the prize!)Hey everyone! Greenshadow622 here! I hope you all treat me kindly! (or else... -.-)
I'm just making this little update because, personally, I thought the prizes for our object-tan contest could use a little pick-me-up. So I decided (after chatting it over with fledge) that I'm gonna chip in a few bonus prizes from my own wallet!
So, like before, the top 3 drawings will have their object-tans redrawn by :iconMikeinel:
But now this is where things get better. I've decided that #1 is gonna win 1000 points, and #2 and #3 get 500 each.
Otherwise, everything remains as it was before! I hope you're all grateful for this, because points aren't cheap, and I'm broke.
So, everyone, take care, and keep sending us your object-tans! We've had some pretty impressive entries up to now, and we hope to see more in the coming month!
Check them out!
