itopia update v1.0

Na gerai gerai, oficialiai tai jau neaišku kelintas tweekinimas. Bet. Papildomai dar atsiras toks dalykas, kad blogins patys char’ai.) Kolkas detalių nepateiksiu, kol jie visi neįsikūrė ir nesusimėtė savo manatkių taip, kaip jiems patogu.

Tačiau kai viskas bus padaryta būtinai pranešiu kokioj blogfermoj, kas ir kaip.P

marketing

I also want to participate in the heatwave of fury. I mean really, WTF?

Some of you might not know what I’m talking about here, so let me explain.

As I mentioned before, my friend and me are making a comic. Generally a small project for our own selves. The idea was to make the first Lithuanian comic about IT and such. Well, since we had a lag of sorts, we finished second, but still, I know we’re better ^^. Anyway, since it’s a comic about IT, inevitably we encounter such things, as appliance of computer brands, energy drinks.  Why not make it fun, and make one character obsessed with a certain brand? I don’t think  it’s advertisement, if we make a three part series about “RedBull”- what  if it’s an actual problem/feature of our….um…..job/hobby/obsession/life? So if I’m making a comic, and want to make an apple or a dell freak in it, that means, that i’m advertising them? All I can say is F*** bloody you.

Fine, so let it be, that product placement IS a part of advertising. But we live in a real world. I mean how many of you actually act: “Wow! Tom Cruise has an “Apple”, hmmmm, maybe I should get one too?” This is stupid, and you know it. So just to let you know. We’re not gonna delete the brands, or make up any new ones. Blog’s and such ABOUT commercials are not commercials. Learn to see the difference, and learn some respect.

TRUCE!

moving on with Itopia

Well, since I formatted Devi (my lap-top) some of my graphic software went down the drain: Manga Studio Ex, ArtRage and such ,( So now ‘m thinking about getting Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium (dang what a long name), even though I’ll need barely two programs from the whole bundle: Photoshop and Illustrator. But what the hell, you never know when you’ll need something else.

Also been working with ITopia recently. I already finished the scetch of the manager, almost done with D.I.2.2.1, and already thought of what Ami is supposed to look like. The only thing left is the digital side of the drawings.

Another question is what am I supposed to do with the guys? I just can’t see how to draw them, nor the pose, nor the style. I mean the girls are done somewhat Vallejo/Royo style, but the muscles definitely won’t go on them. I meanc’mon, they’re geeks for heaven sakes./ And also making some wallpapers anime, some completely different, that won’t go either.. So I’m at a loss at the moment. Maybe any suggestions?

the project’s to-do

Where do I start?

Oh yeah. Well, i decided to change the animation in ITopia.lt. It was a minimal at first, and the way I look at i now, a crappy one too. It’s till far from perfect, but at least the first step is taken.) The site there will most likely also change, maybe an additional section or two will appear. I also have an idea, that I want to fulfill: to make some posters of the characters. I mean normal posters. Colored, the body structured finished, maybe the drawing style a bit more worked out.) I’m really looking up to this whole project, hopefully it won’t close.)
