Check it out!

*edit*

Okay, that was a little too short for a journal entry, and I want to get people as pumped as I am about this new channel. I've been watching a lot of my favorite artists record themselves drawing and I'm a big ol'sheep, so ... 'baaa-aaaa-aaa' away, right?

Basically, what'll happen is -

I'll record myself drawing.

Hopefully this will teach me to exercise a little more patience when drawing. I have a bad habit of rushing things.

So far I have only one video. A test, if you will. Check it out if you feel like it. Or don't!

-better yet, don't. I can't take the blow back.

EDIT: Now on Twitter. [link]

I'm updating because I'm tired of looking 4 months into the past every time I load up my dA page.

I'm up in Hudson Falls, NY now -a nowhere town up in assfuck, USA- and Liv and I recently got internet hookup, so I'm back! (yay!) I've been recently stricken with a severe case of inspiration, so any people waiting for commissions (a few of ya, sorry) are going to be waiting for a bit. Your prices will/have been discounted, so ... I'm sorry for the delay.

I just got a new job and I'm trying to soak up the inspiration while it's here. I don't have enough time for my own projects and commission work, so the latter has been delayed temporarily.

On a happier note!

I really want to play some Wind Waker, but I can't.

I guess that wasn't too happy.

... sorry.

Well, I've decided to open myself up for commissions. I figure that just throwing the offer out there can't hurt. Prices for character commissions are as follows:

Single Character (black and white): $5
Single Character (color): $7

That's all I want to open up at the moment.
Just so I don't get bogged down. (Not that I foresee a whole lot of people sending me requests, but hey ... it could happen.)

I've also been throwing around the idea of doing comics for people.
Those would be a case by case price point.

If anything I've described up here catches your fancy and you want to drop a measly little Lincoln to see your original character in my style you can reach me at:

THRStudios@gmail.com

-or-

Just send me a note via the note system here on dA!

-Treus

(Just an update. At the moment I'm pretty much cut off from the internet. I have a spare moment here at a friend's house, but this obviously won't be an everyday thing. So, if there's any delay in response from me then you can chalk it up to the lack of internet, and not my notorious ability to procrastinate.)

------Current Commish List------

- Original Character: Ceobhran
100% Done!

- Avatar Fan-character: Selena
100% Done!

Part of me (the business guy) wants to start taking commission work. Another part (the artist in me) worries that I'm not good enough, and that any price point I set will almost always be negotiated down, because I just would assume that what I was being offered, as opposed to what I was asking, would be my worth as an artist.

Now, this isn't a post where I'm seeking comments saying 'Oh, no you're good enough. Stop beating yourself up! YOU'RE AWESOME!' This is in all seriousness. I need to know. If you guys say, 'Maybe you should start drawing BACKGROUNDS before you start charging people real grown up money.' then I will do that.

Let me have it!

/cower/

(I know that even if I do open up commissions, it won't be like 'Oh, hey ... let's check out my inbo- WOAH 100 messages asking for requests!? I did it!' --

No, I doubt I'll get anyone at first. But, you have to open sometime, amirite?

Oh, and one last note. If I do anything. Drawings will be at MOST, like, five dollars.)

He had everything.

He had speed. (Screw Mario.)
He had an attitude. (Screw Mario.)
He was blue, which is far superior to red. (Screw Mario. Luigi is cool, though.)
He wasn't a chubby Italian plumber. (Screw Mario.)
He wasn't on the drugs. (Get help Mario.)

So, my latest dA entry is obviously a joke on 79.8% of the Sonic fan art on dA.
SHITTY FAN CHARACTERS! If you people love Sonic so much, take a step back and realize that you are KILLING him! As I type this I am listening to the Sonic 2 soundtrack. Chemical Plant. If you don't know what I'm talking about then stop pretending you're a Sonic fan. Go back to watching Sonic X and drawing pictures of Cream the Rabbit (gayyyyyy) and Rouge (gayyyyyyy).

Shadow? (gayyyyyy)

All of these new characters are pretty much the epitome of lame. "My name is Shadow the Hedgehog, and I am a clone or something of Sonic. I'm different because I'm black and have even MORE attitude then Sonic! Zany! My spines are turned upwards indicating that I'm the reverse of Sonic, and highlighting my sharp and dangerous personality. I don't run, because that would make me too much like Sonic. I roller skate. Wow. I'm edgy. Remember when roller blading was edgy? Me either. I have a shadowy past, hence the name. I am also retarded."

Please don't message me about my inaccuracies with Shadow's past, because I really don't care what it is. (Not like anyone is going to read this that needs to. Does anyone read these? I don't know, I need to vent.)

Cream the Rabbit? "My name is Cream. I'm basically just thrown in to appeal to pedophiles/furries, which more then likely constitute the majority of Sonic X's viewing audience stateside."

Rouge? "I'm a sassy batgirl with gigantic tits to drive that strong male audience. I'd like to fuck Knuckles, but I'm too much of a free and sassy girl to get tied down like that. Would cramp my style. I also glide (like Knuckles) and am obsessed with treasure. I'm a treasure hunter who only works for the highest bidder, even if it's EVIL! Sassy!"

Please ... the bird things from Sonic Riders? The cat from Sonic Rush? Oh god.

--

I was a huge fan of the SatAM cartoon, and while someone can say (well what are all those characters if not just fan characters?) Bunny Rabbot. Princess Sally. Antoine de'Coolete. Those were great characters. They weren't trying to hard to be cool, hell some of 'em were entirely uncool. (Antoine.) That made them alive, though. They weren't all perfect. They all had personal issues.

Bunny was part Robot. (Think about having everything below your waist turn to metal and tell me you don't have issues.) Trying to be accepted by the general at large while being a total freak.

Princess Sally always had to play leader, even though she was entirely unsure of herself and in constant personal turmoil with her feelings of self-worth. Constantly comparing herself to her father.

Antoine was a pussy.

(Some of these traits might be confuse with the Archie comic series which also USED to be good. Should have stopped at 50. It's all a blur to me.)

--

Nowadays Sonic is appealing to younger audiences, because kids these days have no taste.
(Danny Phantom, High School Musical, New TMNT, That's so Raven, Jimmy Neutron, etc...)

So any kid with a crayon and some paper can create their own Sonic character. Taking Sonic, giving him different shoes, and coloring him orange doesn't make it an original character. This wouldn't bother me so much if the creators didn't take it to such an extreme level and start dogging on people who step in and say 'Hey, that's just an orange Sonic.' Sonic fan artists have the biggest egos on dA, and the entire community is just a giant circle jerk.

I love that you took Tails and replaced one of his tails with a racoon tail. Also, you gave him glasses. Original.

In the song 'Be Our Guest' Lumierre sings:

"10 years we've been rusting-
needing so much more then dusting-"

So, we know that Belle meets the Beast and company 10 years after the enchantment took effect, only a day before his 21st birthday, which coincidently is the same day that Beast's spell would wear off if he found true love. That means he was almost ELEVEN when it happened! From what I know about kids ... they are brutally honest. If a strange old woman showed up at your door asking for help ... would YOU help her? I know at eleven I wasn't going around offering services to strangers. Hell, I don't do it now.

The enchantress must have had it in for the prince from the start, pulling stupid tricks like she did. Nonetheless, when he told her to get the hell off his property, she went fucking crazy and put a spell on him turning him into a giant beast. What the hell!?

HE'S ELEVEN!

Then to put the icing on the cake, she tells him that if he doesn't find true love by his 21st birthday, he has to stay a beast forever. That's a pretty daunting task for your average 30 year old, not to mention an ELEVEN year old.

And what'd she do with his parents? You never hear about them.

I don't know ... as much as I love that movie ... it just seems so overwhelming for the beast.
I guess I'm ranting ...

I'm done.

Why the hell wouldn't I use it!?

... but you're reading this now, so you already understand.
You sheeple.

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

Y'know, I was going to make a clever lil' quote train showing how many times in the past I've said that I'm going to start a comic. Unfortunately, I SAY it much more then I TYPE it... so, you'll have to trust me on the fact that I've talked about starting a comic for a few years now, but I never have.

and I have finally dug our heels into the ground and have decided on, not only a story, but a drawing style for a comic we are actually going to do. Well, since we are going to alternate drawing the comic (not entirely sure how that's going to work. Maybe she could draw her comics from Audacia's POV, and I could draw mine from Rio's? Not sure.) obviously we'll each have our own personal styles. I think she's finally decided on hers, and I KNOW I've decided on mine. So, hopefully the first installment will be up here shortly.

All I can really say is that it's a fantasy comic. It was originally going to be a comic about her and I and our wacky misadventures. Then we figured there'd be too many inside jokes, so ... that was a no go. Then we thought about doing a World of Warcraft comic starring our undead. We figured that was too limited, but we did like the idea of doing a fantasy comic. So, we are going to create our own world. I know it's been done before, but ... that's like saying people should stop writing certain genres of literature because 'It's been done before.' Who knows, we may bring a certain something that is fresh and new. We can dream.

Oh, and also ... there is going to be a magic snail. I'm not even joking.

Retail just isn't my bag. I used to make almost twice as much within a week cleaning tables at a local hole in the wall. I've decided that I'm going to go back for the summer, in hopes of making Scrooge McDuck envious of MY piles of gold coinage. I'll be sure to request large tightly knit sacks - included on each, a crisp dollar sign.

Between now and then, however, I have been itching to do commissions. Though with my wacom stylus out of commission, it would be difficult. I'd like some feedback from the people who actually visit my gallery. Would you pay me 5 bucks to do a sketch of whatever you wanted?* Obviously it would be much appreciated. Until Liv and I get the comic up and running, I've got all the time in the world to sketch away. I've got a lot of plans and unfortunately no money with which to carry them out.

*Offer excludes: hentai, inflation (ballooning), any rediculous over-the-top fan characters that would be impossible to put on paper and can only exist in your head (usually of the furry persuasion). I will draw furries, though I can't promise anything spectacular. I'm not really the bee's knees at anthro art. As I can't stand the majority of it.

The only problem, be it a big one, is that most of my scrawlings are on the desktops on campus. I've taken to drawing directly onto the desks in my history class, and with the desktops being like analog chatrooms, I've gotten some praise for my various scribbles. Anonymous persons have left messages like:

Wow ur good.

- or my favorite -

Omg u rox.

That's not even the short of it. I've also gotten some praise from my immediate classmates. Immediate meaning - the people I distract with my loud pencil on wood scratches. Today I drew a woman's face (which I was very proud of, btw) which looked like it'd leap off of the desk and begin talking. Obviousy there were some flaws, I'm not a human camera, but I was very proud of how it came out. I shaded it and everything. Not hatching like I'm somewhat known for, but actual shadow. A somewhat annoying guy who sits diagonal to me on my right leaned back to stretch, to scope out what I was doing no doubt, and looked at my picture. He whispered to me :

That's gnarly.

He isn't such a bad guy, I suppose.

On top of all this, someone keeps moving my previous day's desk forward. So, as it stands now, three of the five desks in my row keep my drawings. I drew them to be temporary, but someone is preserving them. Astonishingly, no one has defaced them either. No rogue mustaches. No penii. (Plural for penis.) Not even smeared. I wasn't planning on that to say the least.

On another note: IS COMING IN TWO WEEKS! YARLY!
It's gonna be shweet.

It's been a rough couple weeks, but things are starting to look up. Not that they were necessarily 'bad', but I've seen better. Liv made it easier. She probably doesn't know how much she means to me. Actually, she probably does know. Though, even if she doesn't, she'll read this and know. Ha! Bases covered. (Love you honey.)

I have to say... he's even better live then he is on TV. Frankly, he's way more loose in his language (hence the 18+ requirement for attendance) and it's very entertaining to watch him completely freak out. Topics included:

Evolution
Dick Cheney
Immigration
Gay marriage
Hampton Roads
Religion
George Bush
FIMA


Show Highlights:

--His watch reflected the spotlight straight into my eyes on three seperate occasions. Yay!
--He spilled his water.
--Cell phone rang and he completely rolled with it. Awesome.
--"Whenever I talk to someone who believes in the 7 days creation theory, and the topic comes up... I hold up a fossil and go..."
*wildly points to the 'fossil' he's holding*
"Um... FOSSIL!"
--I was in the fifth row! Woot!
--"The reason I don't believe in creationism is because I have a thing called... ummm... thought!"
--plus many more, but I'm too tired to list them.

Live every day like an adventure! Says the person who spends their days making clever posters for elementary school classrooms. It's good advice, but frankly, I don't have the drive to 'adventure'. Meh... this pointless rant has ended... I guess I just needed to type that for personal ... closure?

Any-hooo. I recieved a letter from a close friend of mine. She went off to college, and now (via letter) demands a 8x10 glossy full colored original comic. So, I have that to work on now. Should keep me busy. I'm making it a point to also make a better pic of the 'Zelda Grotto Trio'. You both know who you are... me being the last to join.

I'm looking at you and ... rascals.

Also. I want to flesh out my gallery with pics that I personally enjoy. Instead of filler... which is what comprises most of my gallery.

If you play World of Warcraft... look me up. I'm playing my alt now. I think she's going to become, not only my first female character EVER, but my main character as well. I love her. =3 Priest 4tw!

Gilthoniel
15 Human Priest
Skullcrusher

That's pretty much it for now. Keep watching for updates. Please. It's one of the few things that keep me going. Besides work... and poker with friends... and ... net friends. What exactly is the difference between 'net friends' and 'real friends'?

Let me rephrase that. Friends keep me going... even if they do wake me up at midnight wanting to play texas hold-em.

I'm a little freaked that I won't have anywhere to live in the following months at SCAD. A lot of freshmen are posting on the college's forum that they are without housing, and are being forced to look for apartments.

This one pretty much explains itself. Very funny I might add. Not one for kids. Actually, yes it is, because we all know that little Timmy from across the street knows more about the opposite sex then you did when you were his age, but we can't all be that lucky at 3. That was a reference to our falling society, in which children are having sex at younger and younger ages...

I watched movies in all my classes, which pretty much knocked me out... (I'm not a very good student.)

- I got home, and as soon as I opened the door, my phone rings. Guess who it is? My friend Nick, and his new Mustang. He pretty much calls me everyday, and picks me up from my house to feed his insatiable driving hunger. Hell, I'd be crazy about driving too if I had a mustang.

We then proceed to go to his house after picking up his little sister from school, and waste our afternoon playing HALO 2 via xbox live. I guess I should be writing my statement of purpose for my college app to SCAD, but hey, who cares?
