Wow, has it really been six months since I last logged in to dA?

Hmm.  Well, since Summer vacation is here, I will probably be volunteering for a majority of the time, as well as working on my upcoming Sims 3 series, The Moores.  But you wont hear me advertising any of that.

But I have some good news!  I am working on a new project right now.  But so far, i've worked for 2 hours, and only finished less than 10% of it.  It is exhausting, but it looks really cool.

In fact, it looks so cool, that I might consider making another one, so you may in fact see me here on dA in the coming months!

Hey there, everyone!  I finished episode 3 of my Sims 2 machinima.  I will release our Holiday Special later today as well.  If you havent seen it already, you should watch it on my YouTube Channel here:  www.youtube.com/user/studiouss…

I want to thank those who have already helped me with this:
Connor: voice of Hayden Green
Brian: voice of Andrew Turner
Alex: voice of Oscar Price
Ryan: voice of Hideo Nakazawa

And I hope this project goes as well as I hoped.  It looks like we are doing pretty well already.

If you like this series, and want to show that you like it, please join our facebook page here: www.facebook.com/pages/CoZier-…

Here, you will receive updates, as well as be able to communicate with the actors of the series.

Okay.  So we are done with 3 days of our what looks like to be our week without school (because of snow).  And I am bored out of my mind.

But good news, I created a new youtube account, studioussamurai www.youtube.com/user/studiouss…

And with this new account, I will host my new sims 2 series, CoZier.  I have my Intro movie there already, so check it out!  Oh, and feel free to subscribe to my channel.  But no need to jump into it anytime soon.  I still have awhile to go before I get too deep into the show.

I will start filming the movies soon, but I am still in need of voice actors.  So if you are at all interested, please let me know.  All you have to do is record your voice saying whatever I tell you to say, and send it to me as a .mp3.  Simple, eh?  You will get credited both here on dA and on youtube.

I am looking for:
3 male voices
1 female voice

So turns out, the city is basically shutting down because of the snow.  So we are getting 2 more rounds of snow within the next week, and we just got through 1 of them.  So a total of 3 waves of snow.  But the temperature has basically been below freezing for our high, and that has turned out to be very miserable already.  Probably just because of the wind.

I am pretty sure that we are going to be out of school for the rest of the week.  Which means, we will have an extra week of winter break.  That's GREAT!  Except, they'll probably add on more days later.

The funny thing is, I am kinda missing school.  But then again, it just might be the cabin fever.  But part of this time to be indoors has motivated me to create a movie.  Or a string of movies.  It is going to be called either CoZier (as in cozier, or more cozy), or CoZier Electronics.  But it is going to be a drama based in an electronics store.  Everything is going to be made from the game, the Sims 2, so it is all going to be animated.

I will put up more information about it later, but I need to plan out the variations in all the voices (most likely done by me unless someone else offers), the story, the music (thanks to garageband), and the script for myself.  The episodes are only going to be about 3 or 4 minutes long, and they are only to be meant to be briefly entertaining.  But I will try to pack as much humor into it as possible while still making it a dramatic-comedic-romance show.

When it is finished, it will likely be available on youTube, on a new account that i will be creating.  Any feedback during the process would be nice.

I am extremely excited!  We are expecting a cold front to move in this weekend, and our high temperatures are supposed to end up below freezing.  So there is a high chance that there will be snow, and hopefully, as a result, a snow day or two.  So that will give me more time to relax before winter break... when i have to meet with the Japanese teacher in order to prepare for my IB test.

Anyway.  I was bored and not paying attention to the slideshow in my biology class, and I decided to do some sketching.  Currently, I am between a style of japanimation (japanese animation), and realism.  But really, I cant do both.  Or at least in my mind.  And neither of my styles are really complete.  But this got me thinking.  I should save all my sketches and put them together.  Sure, they may not be the most meaningful, nor are they the most beautiful.  But it could really help me collect my thoughts.

Just too bad I threw it away.  Hmm.  Oh well.

So i am starting a new Chuck Close inspired piece.  This time, it is an acrylic painting, one done of my brother.  This one is going to be different from the styles of my other pieces, and I am really excited about this one.  Wow.  I guess I will be really excited this weekend then.  Snow AND Art?!  Too much for me.
