I'm showing off some school modeling and texture work done for my final studies project named Fact3. It's a total conversion mod of Unreal Tournament 3 with added features such as:

- Steampunk aesthetic
- A completely original map
- 4 different classes and player skins.
- 2 original tracks by electronic artist Aliceffekt

All free! By my guess it's not such a bad deal. You just need an up-to-date version of Unreal Tournament 3 for PC and it should work fine.

Also, I'm done with school. FOREVER (well, never say never...) I'm also currently looking for long-term employment opportunities, so if you were interested in the links at the start of this journal, hit me up at barriereknicolas@hotmail.com and we'll start talking.

I'm currently looking for a 12 week internship in the Montreal area during the period of January to May 2009. Interested in doing some game oriented modeling, animation and texturing. If someone has tips and trick, it would be mighty awesome to send some my way.

I'm looking for things to do. I've already covered the major tourist traps. I'm looking for new places to see. Events, art galleries, anything you can think of! Please, I need some suggestions. Anywhere reachable by public transportation.

Though I need to state I'm going with my parents, a 50+ years old couple. Keep that in mind.

Updates for the gallery coming soon. I've been very lazy regarding that.

Things to look forward to:

- More updates will be appearing: I'm going to upload my projects more on this accounts, 3D and drawings mostly.
- I'm finally going to start coloring my good sketches.
- I'm scrapping my old site design and putting up a blog so I'll actually want to update without gouging my eyes.
- Going to get Nanoloop for my Game Boy Advance. It's a music creation software for game boy that utilises the sound board in the console to produce electronic sounds. It's not circuit bending but it's a start.

Plus, thanks to Ika I've become a contributor on Space Collective dot Org. I'm really super excited to start putting up articles. I'll try to focus on things like pop culture on parallel to human evolution, religion, politics and social commentary.

First off, I got (a lot *aheum*) better somewhat at drawing in the last six months. I strive myself to keep drawing more than anything, which isn't too hard since it's my favorite activity nowadays.

I still love v-games, but everytime I sit down to play them recently for more than 20 minutes, I start to go like: *WTH I COULD BE DRAWING... instead of wasting my time...* Dear Ika would be proud.

Learning 3DS Max, too. It's a LOT (times infinity) more user friendly than XSI will ever be. I'm so glad I'm learning. I'll try and pump out cool models for my friends! : D

I'll be trying to adapt the style I've been givig my drawings in the past months to my projects, so it'll make me a better portfolio in the head.

I'll try and start posting regular updates on dA when I feel confident I can post substantialy good art that combines good drawings (composition, line, etc) and solid digital coloring (be it vector or photoshop). Maybe in a month and a half, who knows?

So I bought a tablet and I've spent the last 4 months drawing like a madman. I have improved. Somewhat.

Guess I was tired of doing crap.

The future is good.

First off: big, big, big, BIG news. My online portfolio/website/pet project is up. Go see, pelize, I need feedback. The currently safe browsers to use are Firefox and Safari. If you use Opera and Internet Explorer, your computer might implode from severe case of screen ugly.

[link]

Second. Me and my dear Ika-friend-person, are working on a project. But you didn't hear it from me.

And I have also seemed to developped an healthy dislike for popular mass media culture. Cheers to future years of misery, mockery and public displays of irk!

On a movie note, go see Children of Men. Everyone should see this movie. It's a very well done tale of what not to do with our lives.

THINGS I LIKE:

- Myself (it all starts there ya know)
- Having an opinion to myself
- My (true) friends. They know who they are.
- What I've accomplished/ What I've yet to accomplish
- My parents. For everything they've given me.
- Ikaruga, for giving me the gift of art. (Dude, I'm serious)
- Colors: Flash Pink, Turquoise, Black, White, Grey (#E3E3E3)
- Foods: Sushi, Asian foods (anything!)
- (!PARENTAL WARNING!) Marijuana, for making reality so different and exciting, more so than it already it.
- Japan, for the culture that brews there, for the things it has given the world.
- Video Games, for continously inspiring me/draining me of my time in this world in the most pleasant way imaginable and feeding my ever-growing imagination. (f**k drugs! lol)
- Animation, for always delivering what life seems to be lacking.
- Goth culture
- Dark, spooky things. Because I'm still surprised I have a dark side.
- Vector drawings
- Techno music and all it subdivisions (except that fat beat kind that everyone likes except me), especially happyhardcore for filling me with bliss, happiness and hope.
- Jhonen Vasquez, for making fun of out of the misery that sometimes looks like human life.
- Irony, Wit
- A sense of humor
- Open-mindness
- Silly things
- Men and Women, wouldn't ya know. Ain't life weird!
- Empathy
- Learning daily lessons
- Sports, which keep from recessing to a slob a I was once and teaching me the true meaning of effort. (No pain! No gain!)
- The big picture
- RASPBERRIES!


THINGS I DISLIKE:

- Hate
- Negativeness
- Self-Mutilation (even though I can understand why) / Suicide
- General Bitchery between people
- Apathy
- The truly dark side of things
- People who can't seem to realise that being mean to each other only provides "brief" contentment.
- Egotism / Egocentrism

Things will probably keep getting added as further as I live. Expect this to grow. I find it reassuring to have it noted down.



... So news. Myeah. Hum, so sketches will probably have been uploaded in the scraps section by now. If you can name an artist who's influenced them, congratulations, you get a big cookie... (Hint: It's not a moose! )

For the future and for the record, a personal site will get made at some point before christmas. For my next semester in Multimedia, I have to do one. No denying that fact. It'll probably center around that "lab96" concept I took out of my hat so long ago. I never can truly get it out of my head. Ideas always seem to come when I least expect them. I'll take that as a good sign.

I'll also keep drawing/sketching (keeping at it!), then I will probably switch to vector/coloring/3D for main works. Oooh! Maybe a Flash animation or two. There's one who's been trotting inside for a loong time that looks interesting to make.

Thanks again for reading. Whoever you are!

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

- Physical Education/Body building
- French (I got to a french college, since I go to Quebec, it's my native language)
- Philosophy (it's obligatory to learn Philosophy in Quebec at college level, rejoice!)

That's the basic courses, everyone has that. What's specific to my program is:

- Macromedia Flash/ActionScript (programming)
- Macromedia Director/Lingo (programming)
- Javascript (programming)
- Html (programming)
- SoftImage XSI 4.2 (3D)

As you can see, I have 4 courses on 5 that are programming, which is something I struggle with. I know I can succeed... it's just going to be hell, that is all.

But, I have 3D classes, which are great. I know that if I invest time, I can really succeed in that field and become good.




Backing away from school and into my life, here's what's happening at the moment:

- I have improved midly my drawing skills. I can honestly say I am "sort-of-moderatly-adequate" by my standarts. If I one day achieve my goal, I'll probably start a webcomic on video game all on my own.

- I have Dance Dance Revolution for PS2. It's the "Extreme" one, which supports the EyeToy (which I don't have). I'm having a blast improving each song I can. Right now I'm on the ligh setting, which is the easiest after beginning.

- I've stopped playing World of Warcraft! It was interfering with my studies! 'Nuff said.

- I want a boyfriend/girlfriend!! Why won't love knock at my door!


That's it for now. Thanks for reading.

I finally have a digital camera!

After all that time, I can finally try to do some photography (it's gonna be hard since my camera doesn't even meet semi-professional standarts like the cameras of my friends).
You can see some of the first shots I took in my gallery

My summer job is kind of demanding of lot of my time (I'm a day camp instructor ). I only do 33 hours a week, but I get so tired after just a day, I usually just go back home and play World of Warcraft for about two hours.

About World of Warcraft...

Well, first off, it's the first massively-multiplayer-online-role-playing-game (MMORPG) I've ever been subsribed too (and the second online intensive game I've played too).

It's great, I'm loving it! While I would like to see more social interaction between players (I'm playing alone almost ALL the time, which really isn't the point of the game), it's mainly the only gripe I can find with the game...

If you are reading this and are playing the game too, I would like to play with you. Here are my characters:

Sabaï - level 21 Male Tauren Warrior - Daggerspine
Sonara - level 16 Female Night Elf Druid - Bleeding Hollow

That is all the information you need to contact me| Hope I will see you!

*big hugs and kisses to you all*

Peace-out!

Teen Titans:
It's the perfect mix of american comics and manga. Style, substance, it as all for it.

Justice League Unlimited:
Recently, because of this show, I was flabergasted by how much comics can touch upon reality. This is a perfect example. In the last few shows, people are wondering if the Justice League has grown too powerful for it's own good. Add rogue government groups, Lex Luthor manipulating all in the shadows, it has me drooling every second of every show.

Gundam Seed (anime):
The themes used are very cool and well presented. If you are familiar about the Gundam series, you might be thrown off by the change of themes. Instead of politics and peace, it is about genetics and the advancement of the human genome. "Are people altered geneticaly really the future of mankind" are ones the question the show asks itself. A must see.

Dragon Booster:
The style of the show (cell-shaded 3D animation with vivid, pastel colours) is what really strucks me at first. Then I discovered it had really cool plot and characters. And dragons! So many dragons... Now, go watch and like it!

American Dad:
Now let's get serious! This show his outrageously funny! It wouldn't have expected less from the creator of Family Guy. If you are asking what separates both shows (because, truly, they really look a lot alike), it's maybe a lot "real". It makes fun of more current things like the media and etc...

Family Guy:
... Enough said. Once, I nearly ran of air because of a joke on the Wonder Twins they made (I really hope you know which one I mean, cause written words wouldn't do it justic). I really love it.

Did I miss anything you think I should have added? ]]> ~Moyer http://Moyer.deviantart.com/journal/5511141/ http://Moyer.deviantart.com/journal/5511141/ Tue, 31 May 2005 11:50:57 PDT
It is really interesting how much I have advanced emotionaly, mentally and artisticaly in the last two semesters of cegep.

I working as a camp instructor this summer! I can't wait ^_^
It's hard to find a job that is as creative as this one and let's you go outside. I am also begin psyched a starting to work out again daily (I stopped because it's the end semester I and was unbelievably stressed and with a load of work that makes Everest look like a sand box)

---------------------------------------- ------------------

Also, I'm going to start a webcomic! The firsts that mrs squeetchan and me make will assurely be available on my dA account.

- If we get really positive replies, I'll try to find us a hoster and start designing a website (Adobe ImageReady I wuv you!).

-If we get mild responses, I think they'll only stay on dA.

-If I get hate mail then I'll stop for good and concentrate more on vector and digital art from now on.

The thing is I really would like to express myself creatively, as writer and artist. A while back, I wrote 50 pages for a fantasy novel that I would like someday to be turned into a video game.

But I love video games to death and I am learning multimedia, so I thought to myself «Hey! I have the artistic and technicals skills to do this, so why not actually do it!».

Also being in a particular postion myself (being gay and all, but a bit of a fanboy), I took elements I tought interesting from my life and decided to turn it into a comic.

The only problem I have is: what about appeal? I doubt what I have planned in my tiny little mind will appeal to core gamers who play games daily and read comic strips like Vgcats, Ctrl-Alt-Del, Nuklear Power and Penny Arcade.

There is also the part about the whole «homosexuality shocks and outrages peole» I am worried about...

I want to make a strip about games, but I don't want it to be like the "nth" video game comic ever. I want to make something truly original, who fullfills me as an artist and brings laughter to people, demistify gays, lesbians and bis and laught about games, the ultimate passtime!


Peace-out!

Well, friday night actually.... (but that is not so much as useless information).

I saw the movie Hotel Rwanda.

I think you...

(by you I mean people who actually take time to read this innane chatter/convictions I can come up with)

...should take the time to go out and see this movie. I can easily say it had a profound impact on me.

I also realised that hate is something I cannot relate too. I just can not understand hate. It is such a powerful emotion/motivation that not only justifies wars and kill millions of innocent lives for the sole sake of feeding this feeling that people should not be able to live the same air as you.

As I say, I can not understand this. If I tried, I would fear to be struck down by a holy bolt of lightning. Besides, who am I to judge the things that happened in a far away country 10 years ago. Also, I personally think that I would a heartless moron if I tried to judge a massacre that slaugthered a million people. ]]> ~Moyer http://Moyer.deviantart.com/journal/5355982/ http://Moyer.deviantart.com/journal/5355982/ Sat, 14 May 2005 12:28:20 PDT

I need the love and it might just get something else (I thinking something naughty/kinky lol)

And I just might overcome that artist block that's been keeping me down for the last 17 years (that's a LOT of time for a 17 years old single bisexual teenager)
