Mood

Stressed

Just random thoughts about some things.

-- Jamal's final boss has to be an interesting one. I have an idea, and it incorporates two phases. While I'm unclear of what to do with the first phase, the ultimate one seems clear as a bell...

-- Project Darwin's next few chapters have been better thought the past day or so. I predict about 8, maybe 9 more until the end. Or the Epilogue.

-- Maybe I should invent my own Pokemon. Not for Project Darwin, not for Bruce's world, just for the heck of it.

-- Speaking of which, maybe I should look into refining that Buizel design. Buizel? ...Buoysel? The little otter creature. You know the one. Maybe.

-- I wonder how frequently Tamanegi would really use that Oni-ON? I'm sure rarely. Maybe he could just use it to travel sometimes?

-- Which would be worse, I wonder... Sketch or Dark Sketch doing "Capirinha," or Pepper and Ataru doing "Caramelldansen?"

-- I've been thinking about a Pepper & Co. animation. It would work so well for Halloween...but even if I start now it may not be finished by then. I don't have full model sets of the main characters, and I certainly know my "feminine" voice isn't eve subpar. X3

-- Heh. I *started* a "Pokemon in a Nutshell" animation too. And being an odd person, I didn't take the cheesy route like most others. That's probably why it hadn't been finished yet. Anyone have "map sprites" of Brock, Misty, Ash, and Pikachu? Preferrably from the side; it was meant for a scene.

-- Ah, Project Darwin... Dr. Stein is so awesome. I just have to say that. :3

-- Jeez... I seem to be thinking a lot about Pokemon right now, eh? I guess it's closer to my heart than I make it seem. It's a shame I can't come to grips with the new games, but I guess I'm still looking for something different.

-- I'd think about Digimon, but I never got into it. I still don't understand people's attraction to Renamon. It's not like she's pretty or anything...

-- Heh. Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series is fun to watch. I saw enough of the original series to understand the general gist, and all of the abridged to actually ENJOY the show. ...Yeah, I had an idea for a short Yu-Gi-Oh! toon also. Very short, probably a minute long. I could do it, but I wonder if it's best to lower quality so I can get the thing done quicker. JosephCollins knows the idea; I mentioned it in some detail to him. ;3

-- There was that Ice Climbers thing too. There were some good jokes I could use. One keeps sticking in my head. I wonder if it's best to make a Smash Bros. joke montage instead with many of the Nintendo characters...? But I don't know everything about ALL the represented series... And besides, Nin10doh! beat me to the punch, but a fair number of the jokes are a bit lewd.

-- GAHH! I WANT to animate something and I don't know WHAT!! Maybe one of my folks was right... do I have ADD?! I know I must have some mental issue. Normal people don't keep the Pikachu Caramelldansen on their iPod, for instance...

-- Heh. There was a really cool "alternate" Pepper icon I wanted to use LAST Halloween, but I'm not sure what to apply it to this time...?

-- The Oni-ON was initially for some other fantasy story of Pepper & co. Some little spy story starring Olive (of all people). The final showdown with the bad guy... "Mr. Onion," they called him... involved a big showdown with two mechs. Mr. Onion's, of course, was the Oni-ON. Olive piloted a mech based on potato products. She was called "Agent Tater," you see... And yeah, I don't know if the spy story would still work now. I can't recall all of the original story, except that Pepper and Ataru needed rescue.

-- I still am amazed at how well Samurai Tabemono turned out. So COOL! Shame he's a big wad of stupid, otherwise he'd be more admired. :3

-- The icons of the Tamanegi Studio troupe have to look different--much different--than the rest. We already have Koji's. I have concepts of the other three on paper. The toughest to design from the mind seems to be Ninjin's. But I'm guessing the toughest to actually pull off would be Keiko's. If you don't know, Keiko's last name "Ichigo" means "strawberry." So many seeds! Why did they have to be on the outside?!

-- Concerning the icons of the ghosts, I wonder if I should do two each? One for the lighter settings to exist with the rest, and the other for "dark surroundings" where they're typically found. It will make the task tougher, sure. But the method I have planned for Azuzu's "light" icon seems so CHEAP!! Fuego will be trickier either way...

-- The Papermate Ph.D Ultra pencil PWNS the rest. :3 A tad expensive, but they're very good to have. I own three: black, red, and blue. The black one I've had longer.

-- Do I have a Smash Brothers Brawl main yet? I do well with R.O.B., and am getting acquainted with Toon Link. I wish I could've gotten a better handle on Lucario. I'm exploring King Dedede and Meta Knight right now.

-- I beat Strong Bad's CG4AP Episode 1 on the first day. I needed help finding some of the obscure nuances, but at least I beat the main story without online help. Rah. Now I wait for Episode 2. :3

-- One more Pokemon one. I've kept my Arcanine figure, as well as figures for Eevee and the first three "Eeveelutions." They are near my desk. :3

That's all I have to share at the moment.
