Honour Amongst Thieves ... Podcast?Let it never be said that Sak doesn't deliver!
Last Sunday I had a Skype meeting with Brendan Julian and Richard Johnston - the voices of Louis and James respectively from my upcoming animation - to discuss the finer points of Honour Amongst Thieves. As promised, I managed to record it and so without further ado, I present to you:

I was delighted to see the two of them got along so well, because their character interaction promises to be great this way. Unfortunately, Santiago's VA was unable to make it due to timezones, but perhaps sometime in future we'll be able to repeat this again plus one Spaniard!
Enjoy!

Animation SituationI've been rushing at breakneck speeds to finish my animation in time for the official submission deadline tomorrow ... or, today, by now actually. However, there are still little fixes I want to make to Santiago's introduction scenes, as well as some revisions to the "finished" sequences with Louis and James, so I'm holding back on uploading the clips to Youtube.
Until then, have some progress shots!

Weekend FeatureHey guys! I hope everyone's weekend is going great. I've spent most of mine working on editing my novels and baking cookies. Num. Anyways, since I don't have much of an update for you, here's a feature of some more random work I've Favorited recently. These artists are awesome, so be sure to go check them out and leave some comments/faves. They deserve it :3 Also, a late and reiterated HAPPY BIRTHDAY! To my dear friend, ~DancingWolfDragon who's birthday was this past week. :3 'Cause I don't think she received enough birthday wishes. <3 I luff you Dancing! <3

As always, if you find yourself in one of my features, feel proud. I'm incredibly stingy with my f

Mentorship Project - Assignment #2 SilhouettesSo remember the time I said I'd post the assignment up really quick like? I'm a horrible liar and I am sorry.
SO anyway let's get this thing officially rolling! YEAH! Before work pulls me into the abyss again.
We're going to be working on silhouettes!
ex: http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp45/Elyzius/cartoon_silhouettes.gif , http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m173a59xhg1qcbajko1_1280.jpg
A silhouette is the image of a person, an object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single colour, usually black, its edges matching the outline of the subject.
"When an object's silhouette is difficult to make out, we have a tough time keeping track of what we're seeing. It's why so many comics and drawings use the visual shorthand out outlining figures and objects. The shades and values of an object are secondary to the basic shape when it comes to recognition. As such, effectively managing silhouettes is a vital tool for visual narratives." - Aaron Diaz
Notice how you can probably easil

Assignment #1 - Warm up! due February 28thFor my mentorship project.
We're going to start with a shape challenge warm up! For those unfamiliar, it's an exercise where we take pre-made, random blobby shapes and turn them into characters. I like to use this especially when I have a bit of an art block, and for mentorship purposes it will help me gauge where you all are at in terms of design. This will also (hopefully) help break you out of some comfort zones.
Rules!
1. You may NOT use any pre-existing characters for this. No pre-existing OC's or Fanart (DEFINITELY not fan art!). I have thoroughly scoured your DA's so I'll know if you're cheating. The purpose of this is to make you try something different and get used to creative and visual problem solving.
2. Try to stay within the confines of the shapes.
3. No restrictions to character types, have fun! Bonus points if you can turn it into a full body character.
You can download the shapes here: http://sta.sh/01d7axos6cxq
I'll upload mine as well on February 28th. This w

Such a shame...The society get's even darker, sharper, if there's possible such a fact. What a shame living in such a world where the chance is given by how rich you are, how " alike".
I feel ashamed when I realize how many talented people are being "killed" daily...
I want to mention that I am not talking about me, I'm not seeking for attention.
Two days ago I've been in the bus, on my way home. A homeless man gets into the bus too. His hair was a mess and the clothes... well, they were shabby. I was almost soaked in perfume, wearing a white shirt. I turned my head, trying to avoid his look. I posted the "I'm-better-than-you-all" expression, thinking " another alcoholic that probably sold his house for spending his life in a bar". I know, that wasn't fair, but in that moment I needed a reason to justify my behavior. After a min. the homeless says " I will recite some poems, my own creation". I thought " yes, sure. Try to amaze me..." . As he started to recite, I choked with the words that

This Next WeekHey guys, just checking in! Yes, I'm still sick. In fact, I'm currently running a fever of 102 F while I type this. I so love my immune system right now. LOL Anyways, it's been a long week. I got some art done, did some book reviews over on my blog, won my second blog award :3 yay - and I'm just now starting on a second commission that will hopefully making an appearance next week. I'm thinking about recording this one.. so question: should I make it a slow video with narrative (where I talk about art and explain stuff) or should I make it a speed-paint video and rush through the whole thing with no audio so you guys can just see it painted? Your choice. Keep in mind that I will sound like crap, cause I'm sick, but I don't mind doing it anyway. I'll probably even sketch this one on video so you guys can laugh at all my scribble mistakes :3
That being said, I haven't had a lot of time to write this week because I've been so sick -_- This head cold is eating me alive - but I'm not giving

Mentorship (CLOSED + SOBBING)EDIT: Seriously guys this is hard, I'm just gonna go to my corner and sob a little bit. I WANT TO HELP ALL OF YOOUU. :icongivingupplz:
I'm going through all my notes now, hang tight folks!
Taking a page from my former Professor Krishna's book, and as a gift to all my wonderful followers, I'm going to offer this up to everyone.
Several things brought this on, and it would probably be a long and boring read (tl;dr as the internet would say) so I will spare you all the details. Essentially it boils down to:

1. I Love helping artists

2. I enjoy the enthusiasm of people wanting to learn something new. It feeds my own inspiration.
Now I make no claims to be an expert or master in anything - quite the contrary. I am in a constant state of critique and am hyper critical of every work I post up here. I also recognize one thing I really want is hard to come by without offering up some dough - and that's a mentor. I'm not downing any artist who offers their

FANPAGE ON FACEBOOK REFUSES TO CREDIT FANARTISTS!FANPAGE ON FACEBOOK REFUSES TO CREDIT FANARTISTS!!!
WELL THERE MY BELOVED FANARTISTS FRIENDS BE CAREFUL FOR THERE IS A FACEBOOK PAGE THAT REFUSES TO GIVE YOU CREDITS FOR YOUR HARDWORK JUST BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY FOUND IT ON GOOGLE!!!
ISN'T THAT NICE???

Well… now, seriously…
I follow some facebook pages.
To tell you the truth I follow the ones that credit artists for their work, because I find it nice to click on the link they provide of their galleries and almost die of happiness seeing other wonderful artworks from the same person on their own site.
But yesterday a Saint Seiya Page I follow had a funny comic stolen by a famous Anime Page on Facebook. The ADMs claim they found it on google already the way it was. Without the SSpage logo. And they put their logo on that comic, posted on their page as if it was theirs. Because seriously, when you put your logo on a work you found on internet you are automatically saying IT IS YOURS! And, of course

For the Love of Ib

by ~Lionsong, Nov 27, 2012, 8:08:09 PM
Journals / Art News / Fan Art

So I have fallen in love with a horror game and that game is Ib (actually pronouced as "Eve" but try telling that to my mind). Beautiful in its simplicity of game play and amazing story-line, it is a definite must play. And it seems my admiration is not only limited to myself, as you will see the many spectacular artists inspired by this game!

Some Information about the game

IB is a freeware horror game developed through the use of RpgMaker 2000/2003 by kouri and translated by VGperson.

The story revolves around Ib, a nine-year-old girl who visits an art museum with her parents. She looks around the museum on her own, and the lights suddenly began to flicker. She realizes that all the people have suddenly vanished without a trace. Ib soon discovers the mysteries of the museum, and the dangers that inhabit it. Source: [link]

You can download the game here: [link] (which may be down at the moment) or here: [link] (click on red title name to get download)

A helpful hint with the game (due to a common issue with the game) is that when you reach the crayon sketchbook to hit F4 and minimize the game so the video can play.

You can find more of my journal articles here-> [link]

Thank you all for reading/looking through this article! I sincerely hope you try out the game, and if you could please the article so it can get a little more exposure.
