AETHERS'S PROFILE

9TH : ANIMU

Nothing much just some sketch to fill today's quota
I sacrifice sleep just for this threeeaaaaad.

Looks like I overdone it on minimizing though. fixed

I'd say 1 is easier to animate, for moving and all that.

The 2nd is good for style points though.

I think in the past it was something like:

1. Delegate project leaders (perhaps "representative" would fit better)
2. Show some general project idea/direction
3. Participants choose which team they are interested in

Not saying this would be efficient/good idea for this event, but might help to get it rolling; and perhaps, help the "mercenaries" to find their place.

Also, for point no. 1, I didn't mean they have to be chosen by the organizer, they can come out on their own and pitch their ideas.

...
Although I just realized that the theme hasn't even been given out.

There's also the basic human fact that I think all people WANT to be popular and desired. It's only natural. So when I see lots of people saying that they really want to work with 'X, Y, or Z' in this thread and neither X, nor Y, nor Z is me, it makes me feel bad like I am the kid getting "picked last" in dodgeball. I'm sure I'm not the only grown-ass adult person having grade school flashbacks over this.

But as I mentioned in my last post it's chaotically nebulous to what degree the "picking" has even started so yeah that feeling of being unwanted isn't necessarily fully justified.

Well now, if it would make you feel better, i was about to put your name in my list but two things stopped me
1. I'd have put Eldrich II there but at that moment the joke (all my list is titled "x II") is getting a bit old so i didn't edit the list
2. I put you above my league! Your stories are pretty technical-heavy and while i do enjoyed them (eldrich in fact made me start reading lovecraft), sometimes i got lost in the details. Worried if i can't keep up. I work in simpler settings.
So uh, be more confident i guess. You have GOOD ideas (if any, you have a professional team i think, that should make you like... Qualified in teamwork)

Wow, so this thing is not until January 22nd and people be finalizing teams already? Damn.

Hype train wait for no oneee

I am probably going to not be a part of this jam because I am probably not going to wind up partnered with anybody (due to an uneven mix of my own high standards and/or crippling shyness, naturally). I'm going to try really hard not to let this remind me of every 'form your own teams' grade school project ever.

imo the best part is that the newcomers/fresh-meat have a chance to make a name for themselves, and that's cool.

Edit: Let me throw in another thought here. Ziegfried has said we are not to begin until 1/21...but in my experience, once a team gets together and starts discussing how to implement an idea, that is, for all intents and purposes, beginning. Even if they don't start cutting it up in the editor, it's still a head start. This isn't a big DEAL because as stated it's not a COMPETITION but it still occurs to me to be...worth mentioning? idk.

Yeah, it isn't a competition (I think so too?) and the head start ? I am cool with that. Really, because hopefully more planning/prepwork means more finished projects/collabs from this event.

Can't say no to that.
