My Cry For Help

Nope, not a story. I've been working on what is shaping up to be a novel or novella and so for the next month or two, maybe more, and so I probably won't be updating as much as I was.
Now the cry for help; I've never done anything like this before. This will be by far the longest and most involved story I have ever told and I'm really staggering in the dark. I have an outline and a set of rules as well as the prologue and first chapter written, I would like someone to help with reviewing and editing it but I'm reluctant to post much more of it here. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll share you the documents on gmail.

Thank you,

I've been working from photos I took of buildings in Italy...I keep discovering new things in photoshop. I took a bunch of pictures of St. Peter poking out from behind other buildings. Imagine if the architect (got to go look it up...) (Oh no, there were millions of them) Okay, but as I remember it, one of them (maybe Michelangelo himself) really designed it to be seen and admired, especially the dome part, and then everyone built buildings right next to it and a big ol' facade on the front so that a clear view is not actually possible. In any case, St Peter's dome always seemed to be creepin' in the background.

Walking Doll

I suck at stop motion, so hard. Also there was no heat and my hands kept getting numb, and the tripod was broken, and I'm not a happy camper.

Finally starting to get back into ps and some 2 d work! I did this a few weeks ago.

The Hallelujah Chorus

I've had, for some time, an idea. One of the nasty sorts of ideas that takes up residence in ones brain and surfaces, from time to time, just to make you feel bad for not acting on it. It began its germination in a form wholly different from the one that it has begun to take here and will probably evolve beyond recognition before it has exhausted either me or itself.
Suffice it to say that this is the beginning of a longer piece, possibly novel length. It will be a narrative in three parts, each part following a different character; Devin, Gideon, and the as yet unnamed woman that I am thinking of as Holly, a name that I probably can't use for copyright reasons and that wouldn't fit anyway.
The setting is the Twin Cities metro area plus a city in Colorado, probably Boulder, and there will be more overtones of magical realism. Cities and places with strong emotional resonance will have anthropomorphic identities and the death of Minneapolis is what will drive the plot, though in what direction I have not yet decided.
Please, please, please, comment. Give me encouragement or critique and I will be eternally grateful.

Dr. Insano


Did some revising to my stop motion clay guy, I decided to make him look more like Dr. Insano for funzies, or more like Dr. Insano's Jamaican cousin. idk. And of course, I have poor lighting.

~My First Byzantine~

Or rather: Amaya tries chainmaille again for the first time in three years. My brain can't really comprehend maille very well, I usually end up over thinking it and going a little crazy. That said I tried this several years ago and just could not do it. But here we go! :D

Update: Made an anklet. :< Yus.

Mr. Raven


all up in your grill like NEVERMORE!

Concept for a character I will probably never use in an animation I'll probably never have time to make. :/ And wow, that got desaturated being posted.
