Pleased Mazaki at Home

Greetings everyone, here with another "Journal Status Update" using my Avatar Rep, which I created using 's Manga Avatar Generator Game 
> www.rinmarugames.com/game/?gam…

That's me at home in Bush-land right now. Made this cuz I didn't want to take the Octoberfest Feature Journal off my Front Page. It's kinda like the first one "Angry Mazaki 1" but instead I am kinda pleased. So then on with the show ^.^  (PS, I'm suprised how many people faved it... Was it the Pic or the Journal Update Rant then?? *shrugs* we will never know :/ )


STATUS UPDATE 1: HOW'S THE COMIC GOING??

Er well... I am not sure... It's been a week since I lost my all my software, (cracks including), so I'm currently still trying to re-download and install lost software. Most of it comes from Adobe and Maya... The only people who know about this is my Comic Colouring Team and my Drawing/Software Tutor, Luiz Vasquez o.o


What's new on the situation:
I downloaded and installed a cracked version of Adobe CS5 Suite Master Collection, so to finished some of my Class assignments and I am having some problems with it. For one, some of the layouts in PS and Illustrator changed o.o The other thing is that every two times I open the software to use it, I have to input a fake serial number... It's a bit annoying cuz the software is rejecting the serial number everytime I open the softwares to use and I am also running out of codes to use o.o So it looks like I am going to have to uninstall CS5 Master Suite from my Laptop and look for something eles that actually works


Solution?
I recently got and installed CS6 Master Collection from one of the Animation Students from my class... I have yet to test it out to see if it works...and if it does, I have to explore it alittle bit before I start using it cuz it is the update to CS5... ie more features  to check out in PS and Illustrator. Also once PS CS6 works, I have to re-install all of my Photoshop Brushes that I downloaded over time...

If the "new" software does not work, I am going to have to spend another week looking for a good cracked version that works, or ask the Student to re-install CS6 himself, since this first time I installed it by myself -.-

But in any case, the comic will be delay another week again... So that makes it about 3 weeks behind now?? Yeah?? Not that I am in a really rush or anything but you know, cuz I quit the comic course due to this technical reason but... I still wanna get it started and out there before the yr is over ^.^ so 2015 would be a fresh start for the comic to really get going.
If anything I recently learnt how to use the Gradient tool in Illustrator so, in future I will be putting some bases and cell shades in myself and send it to my comic team...Since the Holidays are comming up and you guys need to work and stuff, I'll try to make the colouring job as easy as possible so you don't have to stress out like you guys did for the first page ^.^


What about the Commission Requestors:
There is a very STRONG reason why I asked each of you "How long you were willing to wait?"
 because I knew that something like this was going to happen, cuz when you're doing Animation alot, alot of Technical Problems occur o.o I just didn't think I would happen like right now when I wanted to start things on the side line... Things like this generally happened to alot of students before, and now it is my turn I was suppose to finish the first commission a week ago or so, but since I have no "working" software at the moment, you poor guys are gonna have to wait alittle longer




STATUS UPDATE 2: LIFE IN GENERAL?

Er well... I got backed up on my Illustrator Assignments for Luiz's Software Tools Class for a couple of weeks... I submitted everything I had to him Saturday even thought he said to submit them in Friday noon... and since I've been working on his stuff, I have not made any new Art Works, not even a new comic page
The only thing new in terms of Art is more Photography and Class Assignments I had to do... So if you guys find that I'm not faving your works and llama bombing and watching you lately,  well now you know why...

Oh I noticed that DA decided to use Facebook's Layout.... My thoughts on it?? Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm I don't like it Why? Cuz some things are just not neccessary and some are just plain repetitive -.- Like Why do that??? Come on man...

Also, Yay...Im 3 yrs old on DA and I have 104 Watchers... and 21 people faved my Moltres Gijinka. That's so AWESOME!!!!



IN OTHER NEWS, there is a reason why I submitted Luiz's assignments overly later than usually... Other than the fact that I got the 2nd Assignment wrong and needed more time to re-do it properly, and time to finish the 3rd Assignment to, I experienced my first "House Fire Starter" Thursday night gone.

The electricity got cut off during a rain shower that evening and I was tired from travel to home from Uni,  so I started dozing off like normal...
My dad lite a candle and placed it on the TV Set o.o He dozed off too and the damn thing caught on fire...
I started to wake up when I started hearing coins dropping to the floor loudly. Now I'm still kinda sleeping. It's the state where you're slowly waking up from sleep...like it's a Trance state and you think you're dreaming, but you're not...
So as I'm doing that and I'm hearing the coins from Mom's Coin Container fall to the floor in batches, I'm thinking "Oh it must be 10 o clock already...That must be mom, probably angryly looking for Quaters..."

It did not occur to me that the candle started burning the container and then I official opened my eyes and looked up and saw a nice warm glow and smoke... I still didn't get it, cuz I was sleepy and smiling thinking that I was dreaming o.o

It took me a total of 3 mins to figure out that this shit wasn't a dream. I heard my dad run into the kitchen, cussing...and then I finally woke up to full consciousness. He swong my bed room door open and I took 5 steps out my room into the next, asking "What Happened?? What's going on??" I then turned and saw the TV on flames o.o

Now in reality I wanted to stand there and watch the fire burn away cuz it was an interesting sight. I wanted to take photos etc... but it didn't quite occur at the time...so instead I "pretended" to panic like an idiot on what to do...  In the mean time on the inside I was like "YAY!! Something new and exciting!"

Anyway, dad's solution at first, in the dark, was to wet pieces of cloth and throw it on the fire to help kill the flame and heat... That sorta worked... until the flame got inside the TV o.o

Then he filled a pitcher of water and dowsed the fire o.o Everything got wet, even the Electric Plugs and Sockets o.o It was a good thing that the electricity was out, cuz I would have grabbed my laptop and bailed o.o

After that he uplugged everything and we littered the room in newspaper to help soak up all that water... So for a couple of days the Electricity had to be turned off until everything was dry... and since there was no electricity there was no wifi
My mom cam home and cussed us out...well not me but my dad, cuz it was stupid to put the candle on the TV o.o

In the end my dad bought a Toshiba Internet ready Flat Screen o.o
So far it's fuzzy and bright!! I don't like the quality that much, but the sound is sure good You don't have to play it loud, unlike the old TV...



AND IN OTHER, OTHER NEWS:
Once again Animae Caribe is comming up real soon. Hopefully this time I can really get to enjoy the festival, unlike last yr, where I had to "work" in it to get a 1 Credit -.- I hope they don't ask for anything unexpectedly again. I just don't like that. It's running from Oct 27th to Nov 2nd...so I will probably be not available around that time


Hope you guys are enjoying yourselves, Divali and Halloween are right around the corner. Next to them we got Christmas ^.^ Yay!!
