Payback

I have decided to add my old comic strip blogs from stripgenerator.com onto this blog just for the heck of it. I have a few I would like share. Here's one...

Gooed to the Screen!

The day before UT classes began, I went to a Wal-Mart nearby my apartment with my friends to buy groceries and such for the week. As I was strolling to an fro the isles, I decided to take a quick stop at the electronic department to see what new video games were released. As I went by the PC games section, a particular game caught me attention. I picked it up and read its title in great curiosity, "The World of Goo". It seemed quite an odd title, which lured me to read even further. I opened its tri-fold-like cover to find out what this world of goo is all about. As soon I saw the game play pictures and read through its captions briefly, I new it was some type of puzzle game, and knowing me, I'm a sucker for puzzle games (Not to mention rpgs and fighting games as well). It was not my intention to buy a video game on my trip to Wal-Mart but for $14.88 plus tax and being a puzzle game it seemed to be a pretty good bargain to me. Nowadays to find a decent game may cost from $20 to $60 plus dollars and with the economy going on as of right now it's best to be smart with your money. Anyways I needed to have some sort of free time from my studies.
So as you may have guessed, I bought this game and to be honest I am glad I did. This game is a puzzle with a physics engine in the mix. It's quite addicting and really fun to see what you can do with the blobs of goo. Love the look of the game, the gameplay is really simple, and the music blends in well. All in all it is a musts for puzzle fanatics and those who want to try something ingenious and refreshing.

"The World of Goo"

Semi-Finalist

I just found out today that my art work titled Simple Adversity, an isometric pixel art, made it through the first round. At first I thought the person who congratulated me for making it to the semifinals was a mistake because I thought that the semifinalists would be announced sometime around or about January 25 and replied that the semifinalists has not been announced yet. Later on a deviant artist from the deviant art community commented that the actual winners would but announced sometime during the January 25 and that the semifinalists have already been chosen. After reading that, I was amazed and yet glad to know that my artwork was selected to go to the semifinals especially knowing that this was my first time actually participating in an art contest through the internet (The Deviant Art Community). This is my second art contest that I have participated in. My first was at Southwest Texas Junior College. The 26th SWTJC Creative Arts Contest, a contest where people from all of south-southwest texas can participate, was my first contest of arts that I had participated. I participated in the visual arts - photography and surprisingly won first place. I am glad to know that I have a talent that I can utilize to express myself.

Contest and Mini Projects

I have entered a art contest, Speak Visually, at deviant art and was very pleased to discover that I have a new way of expressing my self through art. The new form of art is called isometric art and is a very detail type of artwork. If you would like to see my art and others who have entered in this contest click here. In there you will find out more about my art work and why I decided to enter this particular type of contest.

Now as for the other projects, they are still in progress. I'm going to add some more action poses for the brother hamster and then the actual text with a little bit of visual fx. As for the other project, the fanicomic project, it seems to me that it will have to wait a little while longer until I can figure out what other ideas I can put into the video.
