AZNCHIPMUNK'S PROFILE

I haven't been active here in quite a while, because I've been busy. And over that time, I noticed that I really hadn't intended to return to posting actively around here either...

So I decided, it's probably about time for me to take my leave.

I've been around RMN and just RM in general for a long time, but I've always had a lot of interests otherwise, and at this point in life, I don't have the free time to do everything I would like to do... I also have this feeling that the reasons I came here to work on games long ago... Well, those reasons don't really apply here anymore. I'm tired of RMN, but I don't mean to blame anyone. There's a lot of cool people here that I like, but I don't feel in touch with the community anymore as I don't have much to say on most topics anymore. I'm tired of hearing the same discussions and drama over and over again.
I might pop up and post randomly every once in a while, but I don't think I'll ever be as active as I once was. I also might pop up on IRC every once in a while. I'll try to wrap up some loose ends with things such as the comic collaboration.
Even though I won't be truly active, I'll still be working on a variety of things behind the scenes. Some things are games, some are not, I might have an interesting update every once in a while.
If you wanna discuss game design or music or anything, I'm always willing to help and I'm generally always around on AIM or MSN. Hit me up if you wanna talk. Otherwise, thank you guys. I've enjoyed talking to a lot of you guys (and I will still talk to some of you). but my time here is over. Hopefully(?) I won't get sucked back into RMN. Seriously.


GOODBYE NOW

Remember, folks.
-You have four days. I'm willing to extend if really necessary.
-Format should be .png
-Dimensions should be 8.5 by 11 inches or 612 by 792 pixels.
-Do not upload to RMN locker, upload it to imageshack or etc.
-When you finish, send it in a PM to the next person AND send it to me.
-The STORY goes backwards--MAKE SURE you remember that. So technically, the person you send it to is doing the page BEFORE yours. At the end the pages will be reversed.
-Please copy and paste this note in your PM.
-Please post in the topic when you are finished so we can keep up with progress!

==================================================================
Anyways, we're switching it up a bit this time. We're going to write a backwards story--that means after the order of people is randomly picked, we will start from the bottom up! And you guys will have to think backwards in terms of story! (Even more confusion!)

For un-informed readers, this comic collaboration works in a specific way:
Each contributer is randomly assigned a page number. Then, the comic starts, with page 1 and so forth... however, each person only sees the comic page before theirs. For example, the person assigned page 8 ONLY sees page 7, and none of pages 1-6. So random tangents, ahoy! It provides some interesting results... Anyways...

IT'S DONE!

Now, some guidelines that are important. Please read:
1. Page dimensions must be 8.5 inches by 11 inches, or 612 by 792 pixels. Please make it .png.
2. Your page must make some sense with the context of the previous page, but you don't have too include all info. Sample: page A has a monk charging up some energy explosion with his hands, page B has a silhouette of a man against an explosion, page C has a completely different looking man standing, looking off into the distance at a city just hit by an explosion (like Akira.) As details from page A, such as the man being a monk (since he's only a silhouette in B) are not clear in B, they will vanish by C. yadda yadda yadda, I bet you guys already know this, but just clarifying because I don't want any messups. :)
Read the comicompo that I linked--you'll get it.
3. Neok will start--he can basically do whatever the hell he wants, something that starts off an adventure or story, or anything really.
4. Once you are done, upload your image. DO NOT POST IT HERE. DO NOT UPLOAD IT TO YOUR RMN LOCKER. Instead, please upload it to somewhere like imageshack so people do not go around poking your locker and find your comic page, because that would ruin the surprise. Then, please send a PM to the next person on the list with your image, and PLEASE make a post in this topic notifying us that you have finished your page (so people will have a warning that it will be their time soon.) DO NOT post the image.
5. Oh, and of course, I have decided. The maximum time you have for each page is 4 days. If you need more, please send me a private message and I will bump you to a point later on the list, so you will have a later chance to do a page, but PLEASE, I would much prefer it if you told me before you receive the PM for the previous comic page.
6. Once we are done, I will collect up all the pages, organize them, have a title page drawn, and put it up for viewing as well as download.
7. And please, if you haven't joined yet, I can make space for you easily! So please continue signing up!
8. Lastly, if this goes well and is well received, we can do more of them!

==== Information:
Recently, TIG featured a webcomic collaboration called comicompo. tardis and I read it and thought, RMN has such talented artists, why don't we try it out there? Basically what it is, is a bunch of people (you guys!) sign up, and everyone is randomly assigned a page number. Then, each person creates their page in order... HOWEVER, people ONLY see the page before their own. So basically, randomness and hilarity!
You can check out their comicompo here:
http://kpulv.com/comicompo2/

The only real rule is it has to reference something from the previous page so it is not TOO random, in a way that each page makes sense from the last. (read the comic in the link above if you don't get it, everything will make sense.)

There are a lot of you guys I kind of expect to sign up and I really hope you do. :) It should be fun. We'll create a set period of time for each page to be created in, but no pressure, this isn't a contest with a deadline.

Remember guys though, you don't need to be super intense about your art to join. It would also be awesome for the pages to feature a wide variety of styles and mediums, so basically go crazy, and deliver some laughs! There won't be any sort of "judging" system to determine whether your page is good enough to go in the collaboration (I won't even see them until the end), so seriously, sign up and do anything!

I will probably pick specific people to make the first and last pages but everyone else will definitely be randomized. I will assign everyone and we can start once we get a decent number of people, BUT! signups will pretty much be open until the last page. And remember guys, more people means more pages, means a more entertaining comic.

** = late list (means when I draw names, I will draw them afterwards so it will ensure you get a later page instead of one of the earlier pages. So you busy people can request to be on it!)

Leave a reply if you want to sign up confirming that you do!

And on the subject of hosting... I may be able to host it, but that is unlikely. WIP may create a comic page that we can present, but otherwise, it will most likely be a forum post and a download.

Hi, please don't be too harsh, I'm pretty new to this stuff.
I meant to post this earlier but Chinese New Year got in the way.

Please check the larges. I shrunk them down considerably so they didn't stretch out the page times a million.

This one was intended to have a sort of a collage-ish effect. I took photos of Niagara from different angles and different times of day. (please click large) I will probably go back and edit the set of images that is a little too brown.


Here's some other stuff that isn't necessarily photography.
