Single biome planet, and Planet of the Hats.

Basically a planet that is labeled “Jungle,” “Ice,” “Rock,” “Water,” etc. is a single biome planet. Tatooine, Hoth, Felucia, Kamino, and Endor are (seemingly) examples of single biome planets.

All it says is “HTML error”. That’s it. Nothing else.

Does anyone else have this issue? And can it be fixed?

I was pinged. That’s cheating. 😛

@emma-flournoy is beta-reading a story for me (Thank you, dudette! ^_^), and she’s really helping. It’s also nice to go through my story and see it through someone else’s eyes.

Well, in Pandora’s case, she would rather have no guests for a year. She’d gone without them for more than that, so she’s used to it. 😛

I’m in Western Australia

He’d better. 😛 Joking aside though, I’d be quite surprised, considering what you’ve told me about him. 😛 Would you be permitted to sneak a peek? 😛 Oh,well, that’s fair enough. You said yourself you pay more attention to the acting and stories more than the visual effects.

It’s this circular dome with four domes coming out on…[Read more]

I’ve got a character who wanted to be a musician, actually, but circumstances prevented that from happening. So she’d rather be a musician.

Would your character rather be forced to die, or to live forever inside a computer simulation?

Haha! Nice! XD I think I have a dramatic reveal in my most “active” projects (one project is more active in my mind… I really should start writing it…).

That might be it. There was probably a lot of post-processing as well. I actually don’t like the DIS Klingon makeup very much. It looks too…artificial? The Klingon makeup in…[Read more]

Hey, thanks! 😀 I just winged it with the shape, taking into consideration a few design inspirations. I actually fixed the front of the ship a few months ago, taking into consideration window-size to ship-size ratio. Basically, putting it into the model ship context, the more “little lights,” and the smaller the lights are on a ship,…[Read more]

Ahh… XD Yeah, I write a lot of sci-fi. I’ve even come up with dramatic reveals that turn a story into a sci-fi story. 😛 I even have modern-day fiction with science fiction elements, like sentient androids. XD I like other genres, but I am almost obsessed with sci-fi! XD I think my love of animation and electronic music contribute…[Read more]

Nice! Interesting art style… Not sure it fits how I envisage the characters, but you did a great job! ^_^ Thank you. 🙂

Echo looks pretty nice somewhat shabby, and yeah, sorry for not specifying an age. She’s a mid-teen.

Okay, that’s fine. ^_^ I’m glad someone has found them, at any rate. 🙂

Haha, nice one, you picked up on the reference too. 😛

I’m more interested in animation, although I’ve had ideas for live action shows with heavy use of VFX. I’ve actually seen a lot more of pretty decent visual effects in TV shows lately.

It is. And it involves greenscreens sometimes and a lot of white dots. 😛 And a lot of processing power.

Yeah, so did I. Interesting thing I just…[Read more]

Eugh, that’s annoying. :/

Fair enough. Even though it’s enjoyed by a wide fanbase, animation could still be considered a niche interest.

I’m glad, though, I could help you understand a bit more about animation. I would be interested in discussing it further if you’re interested. 🙂

Yes, I like VFX as well, and as an animator, I can appreciate all the work…[Read more]

Oh good, people are still using this place. 😛 I felt a bit left behind when the hiatus came along… I wasn’t told, but I didn’t check the front page news either, so… :/

Anyway, that sounds like a good arrangement. I’ll email her before the week’s up. ^_^

No problem with the email either. As long as Flournoy is in the address…[Read more]

Nope… :/ I got my post when I was still typing it, though! :S Weeard.

Who’s a technical expert here?

Huh… It did… : . Odd.. I think that happened to me recently, actually.

You’re not goin’ crazy, I know you posted something. 😛 I’ll see if I can’t find it in my history or something.

Oh… So… Okay… You’re less into the heavily stylized characters in CG… I get it… I actually don’t mind the stylization myself, but I prefer to make “lightly” stylized photorealistic characters if they’re humans at least.

The “bug eyes” as you so call them are actually to make them look cuter. Sorta like the manga/anime…[Read more]

Whaaat?? Why do you… uhh, does she not like CG animation? 😛

Well, logic dictates that a jetpack that might work would give one a higher chance of survival than a backpack that might be a parachute… I would take the jetpack. But a specific character…? (has to think of one) James Manning would take the jetpack too…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy

How do you want to go about getting into contact to do it?

Cool! 😀 I think I can wait until June 4th. 🙂

@emma-flournoy

Sure, take your time. 🙂 No rush. Just remember to comment. 😛

Thanks! ^_^

Yeah, I’m actually thinking of getting rid of the “Monthly Mixtape Volume 1” Album and “rereleasing” the others as just singles, and sticking with that. But the intention was if you bought the $7.00 album, you’d get access to all the subsequently released tracks… I think… Not sure if that works. 😛

I have a couple of characters I’d like drawn.

First off is Pandora Flynn, one of the main characters from _Aquila_.

She wears a grey T-shirt with salmon colored cuffs and neck-hole seam (if that’s what it’s called), a zip-up denim jacket that reaches down beyond her hips, which she keeps unzipped. She…[Read more]

No problem. What did you think of the worldbuilding?

Wow, noice! 😀 Godspeed on that then! ^_^ Your own works take priority over others, especially if they’re gettin’ published.

@that_writer_girl_99

I just tagged everyone who has posted. 😛

Anyway, Aquila has grown a lot since I last posted. It hasn’t had much progress in the way of converting it to a TV show, but I’ve written quite a few more stories, some of which a…[Read more]

Sorry I didn’t get back to you on this.

To answer your question, Yes… In theory. Meaning that they’re up for sale, and I would be earning money if people bought them. 😛

@sam-kowal

Sorry I didn’t get back to you on this either. 😛

Anyway, plugins… I recommend DEXED, which is an open source virtual studio technology (vst)…[Read more]

Worthless then. 😛 But a good name source.

Are you a writer when you use a chatbot’s built-in fortune cookie library as reference material, if not actually using the fortunes? 😛

In general? I would prefer they would have awful memories. Writing PTSD sounds fun. 😛

But then self-amnesia sounds compelling too.

For a specific character… I’d say not remember who they are.

Would your character rather be portrayed by a live actor, or by an animated character (any type of animation).

That’s fine. How did (Mach 11 was it, or was it Second Chances?)… one of those sound like Cannon in D? I’m curious… Also, rock music? How did it sound like rock music?

Thank you for checking them out, though. If you know of anyone who would be interested in my music, though, I’d be grateful if you could send it on to them! ^_^

That’s okay. Maybe you’ll like them anyway. Fair enough about being picky. And it’d probably be good for me, knowing that not everyone likes my stuff. 😛

I actually use FL Studio to compose stuff. I also found a Free and Open Source digital audio workstation called LMMS, which…[Read more]

Noice! Are you guys good at using it? 😀

From what I remember (and read about it) some guy was afraid of his ex-girlfriend because of a robotic hand she made. This made her upset and bitter and brought her revenge down on the world using her robots.  She also puts herself inside a robot. The protagonists manage to interface with the ro…[Read more]

You don’t like electronic? Huh… Well, I suppose it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I enjoy and even write electronic music… And orchestral as well… Kind of… I sometimes blend both electronic and orchestral (mostly the strings) together. I could shoot you the links to the two tracks that I’ve released (both are heavily…[Read more]

I can think of some film and game soundtracks that are Sci-fi enough, and either incorporate electronic parts or are entirely electronic.. TRON, TRON: Legacy, Portal 2, and FTL: Faster Than Light.

I did ask you to draw Camille (the character shown in the picture), but you don’t need to draw her again. 😛 Your version of her is excellent! 😀

Thanks! 😀

Yeah, I changed them to reddish pink. 😛 … Although, I’ll change them back to orange to see how they look.

No, the one you drew for me is excellent. 🙂 It really helped me visualize the characters. And, yeah, the feet are quite big… I’ll have to work on that. Also, I redid the proportions, and now her legs are a little…[Read more]

That’s actually a good idea, drawing the characters like that. 😀 Pretty much like that, from six angles (front, left, back, right, top, maybe bottom… Eh… you could probably get away with only four :P), only with the character design.

Okay, that’s annoying. That’s why I use a mirror modifier when I model symmetrical things… Except…[Read more]

Also, it might be helpful if you have the characters squinting with both the top and bottom eyelids. I’m reading a tutorial on how to rig using a certain method that’s supposed to simplify the process (kind of), and the example model he’s using has its eyes squinting. And examining the process, it makes a lot of sense.

That’s okay. It was probably a combination of impatience too. 😛 That comic sounds interesting. How is it going? And what games were you playing?

XD Yeah, and typos as well. XD I used to be part of a community that didn’t allow you to edit posts, so if I found a typo just as I hit send, I was really upset. 😛 … Well, annoyed, that…[Read more]
