I now have my own "etsy" where you can purchase my works or request custom pieces

Also if someone wants to do a CSS script for me for my journal entries, would be much appreciated. I do not have the time to learn CSS scripting or any code so yeah. END!!!!

Back to work, long story short the foreman fucked out and quit because "he doesn't have a drinking problem". The morale of the workshop has picked up dramatically since and we haven't fallen behind in work so good all round there!

Weird how this next part relates to my job and my passion. Being in the rave scene for the past 6 months I have met some interesting people, all nice people too. Met this shin fella last night got to talkin about work and whatnot, now I'm going to attempt to make a medieval helm for him! The design he wants sounds simple enough be we shall see, nothing like testing your skill and learning new ones than being thrown into the forge! And also a couple of "Alchemists Apparatus" ornaments for him too. So in summary, commission work has finally started and from a place you wouldn't even think of!

lol ok HERE WE GO!

Still looking for work (army fails at paperwork and common sense!) Yes I am still employed with Vellnagel Bros. but alas work still hasn't picked up and I have had no call for commissions. Applied to coach building company today, not my crucible of metal but money is money and as such I will be underground as it were doing some hardcore saving of funds to purchase my own LPG Gas Forge *pst$1400* and anvil *pst more$$$* that I can use at home. I haven't done ANY hand forging for months and I am feeling extremely deprived, I have only been doing MMAW and GMAW at college

As such, this is me, signing out of DA for awhile. I'll most likely check back out of force of habbit lol but the more money I can save, the sooner I get two basic pieces of equipment I need.

Woody *gone*

I'm putting out the call for "actors". Basically I need some people to pose for scenes and such for what I'm calling a "Live Action Comic" (LAC for short). The exact details of the script are secret as I want to release this as one completed project. You don't need to rehearse lines or anything, just dress up and pose in some scenes. I will edit this journal entry with a list of roles to be filled but for now I just need people to show interest for me **EDIT** (I'm looking at all you brissy cosplayers!!! )

At the end of the project, full credit will be given to those who participated and a special thanks to the script writer! (just keep quiet for now, you know who you are hahaha).

One more thing. I really do think this can be done exceptionally well and when this LAC project is finished I would certainly like to do another one.

Sidenote: I now officially replace the word 'actor' with 'LACy' *insert whimsical evil overlord scene here*

Character Roles:

Lord Hokaido Teru (male)

Maid (preferably female)

Guard (doesn't matter)

Kurosawa Yuichi (short male or female)

Today I had aptitude testing for the Australian Defense Force (ADF). Unfortunately they require fully qualified trades persons for the likes of carpenter, boilermaker (my trade technically) and other various civilian trades. So as my options given to me, I am aiming for the army and with it these two jobs, first preference and second: Telecommunication System Operator and Electronic Warfare Specialist.

There is still yet a full assessment day to be had with a full medical, physical and psych. If I am accepted, it's 80 days at kapooka outside Wagga Wagga. After that, it's unrestricted service which means after that 80 days I get picked up and taken to wherever they want me

Just a heads up so none of you go "where the fuck is woody?" hahaha. Thank you all you scally wags and swamp hags I love you all

Greetings to you one and all.

This is notice that I am opening up commissions for swords and ornamental (picture frames, candle holders etc.) wrought iron work. I'm going to list conditions if you want something made as to be fair on both you and me since the work is not always easy.

Conditions:
1. A deposit of 20% of the quoted price must be paid before work commences
2. quoted price is final
3. upon completion, the remainder of the balance must be paid in order to receive the finished item
4. A sketch or picture must be supplied before work is started. Once the deposit is paid you can not alter or change on the agreed sketch/picture
5. Electronic funds transfer can be done but cash is preferred. If you cannot pay in full, contact me as to why and we can work out a payment plan but condition number 3 will still be upheld in the sense that the product must be fully paid for before receiving it
6. Pictures of the finished product will be uploaded here for everyone to see

This just makes it easier on me and you so there isn't any "he said she said" and we all stay happy

I will be uploading pictures of some work I have done in the past for friends and family. (Links below separated into Swords and Ornaments)

Also due to other commitments such as work and training it may or may not take me longer to finish a piece since I will be doing this during my spare time. I also will not make "replica" weaponry from games/movies/tv etc. due to copyright unless explicit consent is given from the copyright holder.


~Swords~
- Wrought Iron Rapier [link]
- Forged steel Kunai ***NEW** [link]

~Ornaments~
- 'Alchemists' Candle Holder (UPDATED) [link]
- Heart 'n' Roses Picture frame [link]

Sadly, my car as much as a shit box as it was I loved dearly is awaiting the call from the doctor (insurance company) as I was in a car accident friday morning (tear). But as it was not my fault as the events played out I may be getting a new cheaper to run 4 cylinder car, I may not. For now, lilly pad is on one of those clear plastic baggies with translucent goo.

Also, I started making my own phatties for raves this year. I'll upload pics of them when I'm done.

Thank you kindly people

Armour cosplay machine is near completion, testing day is this saturday. I may have a guyver cosplay done for mini bris. i may not, depends how my modeler goes (props to you bro). Other than that its all hands on deck. Epic is on the way lol





I have finally stopped procrastinating about writing another meaningless journal

First up. Sydney Animania. My first sydney animania and I can say that I will no longer be attending animania brisbane barring entry into WCS when I get to that level of cosplay skill. Sydmain was huge, waited in line for an hour (should've pre-reg) but got inside and it was huge. Had a lot of down points though that have been more than covered and glomped in the animania forum itself so no need to list them here. by the by, sunday I wont 1st place Best Male cosplay, i almosted exploded from shock lol but the best part was meeting new friends heaps of awesome people down in sydney.

Work. well, it's work lol. Working overtime to finally pay off that speeding fine I got at the start of the year lol $750 up the ass!

On the cosplay side of things. Stormwarden and I have combined our traddie skillzorz of blacksmithing (yours truly) and electrocution (stormy himself) to make... a machine that will help us the course of armour cosplay and general cosplay pieces that are hard to make from paper mash or clay or whatever. Cheap process too, more on that later when we get it up and running. still in construction phase and moving onto testing phase in the next few weeks *fingers crossed and double crossed if your a ninja*

So yeah.....*explodes*....

Thats pretty much it, Thank you all for coming, especially if you came twice or three times hahahaha!

Saturday 10th of May was Animania Brisbane mini event. In my previous journal I mentioned I had started making the cosplay Susumu Yamizake from PEACEMAKER KURAGANE. The night before I was no where near finished this cosplay ready for animania so I tried to stay awake to do as much as I could. . . FAIL! I was too tired from work, SO the next morning I had help from my mother (who has helped me a fair bit with this since I don't know the in's and out's of sewing. Thanks Mum) and we pretty much finished it at 8:20am AEST WOO YEARGH!

When I got to animania, low and behold no surprise there was probably 2 people that actually recognized me strait away and the rest had no clue. I like it this way, "backwater" anime that 90% of the otaku population don't know. When the cosplay competition came around I went to the Marshalling area and chatted to the other solo cosplayers then it pretty much kicked off from there. After the whole cosplay competition I kicked back in the front row and said to my mate greg "I can safely say I did not win a single thing and that's the way I like it". . . Then my name gets called out for 2nd Place best male and I was like =OWTF

So all in all me thinks I will be making another cosplay starting in the next couple of weeks ready for the next Brisbane event, so I have PLENTY of time to get it done

Oh and I almost forgot. Congratulations to the two teams to made it through to the World Cosplay Summit Finals down sydney!!!!

Cosplay update.

I have finally made the decision to go full into cosplay. Since I am total newb at this I have chosen a pretty easy character to cosplay at the upcoming Animania Brisbane event. Susumu Yamizake Shinsengumi Watcher from PEACEMAKER KURAGANE is the character I will be cosplaying ^_^ I can't help but cosplay ninja!

A journey to spotlight saw me spending bout $30 on material for my cosplay since there are only 3 colours used for this character's ninja outfit. A steel grey colour and black, simple. Mum said it's all strait sewing triangles and whatnot, I'm just basing the pattern from my white Gi I train in.

For Animania Sydney I should have another cosplay done as well if this one goes smoothly in the short amount of time I have

Just thought I would upload a few bytes worth of rambling of this new hobby I'm taking up properly.

Work:

Work is good. Being an apprentice is good despite the amount of shit laid on you every day. And having access to literally tons of wrought iron product overloads ones imagination, seriously, I got a headache from thinking of all these cool weapons and ornaments i could make 0.0

Tomorrow (Saturday) I'm working, starting some alloy hand rails that I know just from rough sketch is going to be a pain in the arse. But on the bright side I'm forging 3 Kunai for my friend Hannah for her 18th, of course these will be blunt and I will not sharpen them as this would be illegal. I don't want an artistic ornamental piece taken and destroyed by the boys in blue


Cosplay: ANIMANIA! Starting a cosplay tomorrow arvo right. Yes, with bugger all money and time. Susumu Yamizake from PEACEMAKER. Also on this note there is this "PPM" happening on the same day, people trying to boycott animania. Yes this does have merrit and I would be all for it, BUT the WCS has hit australia and I'm going to see all these LEET cosplays


Life: End.

I am currently bored so I will update you all on my meaningless life of the past weekend and today. . .

FRIDAY TO THE PUB!
So we all went down to the pub, i started drinking beer like water and thought, hang on, slow down man. Then mish got Albi the bartender to make some Screech Juice, a drink his older brother invented and that was just awesome. Funny because we all ended up at some randoms house for a party and got into their drinks as well. . . SCORE!

SATURDAY TO ROLLY'S! Side trip to smitty's!
So mish and I started off at rolly's party which was good, but as the night went on we decided to high tail it and head to smitty's going away party at 11pm. Walked from rolly's to smitty's and met a trashed fergo and baked SA (no it's not a biscuit. . . hidden pun lol) and when we got there we were kicked out by a senior constable copper so I didn't argue and left with the crew and had the happy drunken mood I was in ruined by a copper.

SUNDAY TO THE COSPLAY MEETUP!
So I told nawar and the SA about this cosplay meetup and they really just came along for the ride to meet hot chiks. Seriously! anyway. It was K-thon, an event to kick off the years cosplay events and whatnot and also DSR's birthday! I sat down and sketched and inked a giant chibi ninja for her from myself, nawar and SA. The day went on and we wandered into myer center for food, we also met up with some one unexpected and lost the big group of people BUT with some sly phone calls we went back to the parklands and found the group once more.

The rest of the afternoon was spent taking photo's of all the cosplay and a big group of japanese tourists wanting to take heaps of their own pictures with us which was AWESOME! then we pretty much just wandered around the parklands taking more pics and eventually sitting down far from all our gear (under the watchful eye of a snoozing Vincent Valentine) and just chilled in the shade of some random trees. I was also asked to be in a movie based off a video game, this I certainly can't wait for!!!

By the way, if your all wondering if I cosplayed. I did. AS RAIDEN FROM MORTAL KOMBAT!!! Also an "oh snap" on two of us cosplayers, one fella decided not to wear his SUB ZERO cosplay and yeah, it was an oh snap on both of us because neither of us knew who was going and who was cosplaying lol!

End of penguin era.

To my watchers: I have finally uploaded something new! YAY!

To everyone: Please let me know (comments, msn, whatever) HONESTLY no matter how brutal what you think of these chibi ninja I have drawn so far.

I thank you all kindly!

So, this isn't your normal sketch slot thing. (hence the reason it's only three slots and not five or ten). The rules are different in that it is not based upon if you comment first on the journal but instead is based upon who the artist decides to draw for. Now, this can go through in two different ways, either the artist can go the idiotic way and merely pick their friends, or they can pick those that have the most original or most interesting character designs. Meaning that, by merely commenting in this journal and showing what you would like drawn, you are in the running for a sketch. Now, the artist must also announce a timeline for when entries are no longer taken. At that time, the artist will start to work on these sketches and whoever is chosen for a piece must also post this in their journal (dont have to if you dont want to)

I will probably just do photo-manips, maybe a sketch. never been good at drawing lol

Commenting will end on: Ummmm. . . How 'bout 2 weeks from the date this is posted?
