Hey there! I am Fighter xaos though some call me.... *thunder crashes* Jerry. Anyway some of you may already know me as xaos.
I am chaos.
# it is a bottomless gulf where anything falls endlessly. This radically contrasts with the Earth that emerges from it to offer a stable ground.
# it is a place without any possible orientation, where anything falls in every direction.
# it is a space that separates, that divides: after the Earth and the Sky parted, Chaos remains between both of them
*“Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit”
*You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.
*Chaos and Order are not enemies, only opposites.
*Out of chaos God made a world, and out of high passions comes a people.
Alright, I'm done with classes now. So that means I've got time to chill out and draw and look for a place to live, and find a job, hope Udon can use a guy like me and that also means I made some changes around here. I updated my introduction. Since thegeekfighters is gone, the banner is gone for that, the banner is also gone for the Ikari Warriors club, however the link is still there, you see I still have plans for the Ikari Warriorsworld, still have KOF to talk about (KOF 13 came out in Japan a while ago) and my podcast is pretty much the main thing I do now, and the Ikari Warriors fight world the other world for Ikari Warriors has the links to my podcast which is pretty much my main thing nowadays. Now that TheGeekFighters is no more and Reviewtopia has taken it's place I decided to pretty much only do the podcast (and be an administrator for those days when the main guy can't do his duties for whatever reason) the Ikari Warriors club is still pretty darn important.Listen to my latest episode, ha HA subliminal messages :P
Also in my introduction at the end you'll notice that the request line is open again. It's been ages since I updated that thing. Poor mom never got Lion-O yet, but that's ok she's my mom she doesn't need to wait on a list, even if it's full I'll draw it for her... eventually. :| So yeah, comment or pm me a request for me to draw and I'll answer back if I can do it and add you to that list up there, if I say yes.
But gosh, a lot of that stuff was either old information or has just been there for a LONG time. College left a lot of my profiles like that, my youtube and my dA had a lot of old information on it that was outdated but if you check 'em out they should be good now.
Well, whatever excitement I had for graduation is pretty much gone. Yesterday I showed my portfolio and was pretty happy that day. The professor forced us to write critiques the day before and I knew we were getting back them today. Some of us didn't fill it out (I didn't either) because they felt that these little movies were just the students expressing themselves and who are we to say what's wrong or right? I treated it like an actual portfolio though, just straight up showing my works. Apparently, that was met with a lot of panning. Some people gave some actual critique on making the video (which is what you were supposed to do) and others on the artwork. "Too much anime style" it goes on.I never had any intention to be like the rest of these guys and do logos and crap. I want to get into comics, maybe they'd see it differently if they knew that, maybe not. Still, it kinda feels bad to hear your peers bash you for wanting to show off your artwork on top of your designs. I did have my designs and photography there too, and they WERE clearly designated as such. (One person wrote they couldn't tell what was what, only way they couldn't tell was if they didn't see the freakin' title card.
There's two ways I can take this though, either as a panning on my art or as a panning on a stupid video I had to make and decided to treat it like a portfolio for art and not as some movie where I'm trying to make a story in 3 minutes. Excuse me for not being pretentious enough. Sorry for the random venting but I was feeling pretty down when hearing the other designers really don't think so much of your stuff it almost makes me want to just stop going for my dream. ALMOST. I'm feeling down, but not out, don't get me mistaken. I just don't think it's good to keep feelings like this bottled up inside. I've done that before and the only thing it does is make me feel worse.
Happy Easter everyone! I posted this on my myO but I doubt that many people saw it, (thanks to those who commented BTW), I'm going to finish this semester soon. Which also means, if I passed, I'm going to graduate college. :) I have a little bit more to do, mainly for my art class but it's not so much. The graduation date is June 2nd.
In other news I got another model kit, this time it's the Double Zeta Gundam. It's one of my utmost favorite designs for a Gundam. I know people tend to bash the series because it's lighthearted. Which makes no sense to me, I mean Tomino did TWO Gundam series before that were dark do you expect him to stay in that kind of a mood? I just think it's natural for someone to be a bit more cheery after a while, it wouldn't be healthy for him to continue be a downer. I mean 0083 is still my favorite but ZZ wasn't bad at all. Anyway you want to see pictures of it, go here http://www.theotaku.com/worlds/toys/view/228275/msz-010_zz_gundam/
Oh, and here's the theme to Double Zeta Anime Ja Nai, but in a twist, it's sung by Hironobu Kageyama! Mr. DBZ himself!
Like I said unless it's a really cool episode I won't post about the podcast here, but this one is a very cool one, I got with JewWario to talk in depth about import gaming. If you want advice about importing games from Japan then I can't really think of no one more knowledgeable than him. He's been importing Japanese games for 20 years! Episode info and all that can be found here: http://theotaku.com/worlds/ikaricast/view/226304/ikaricast%3A_season_3_-_episode_5/
