This place sure has changed. The old VAC was quite a mess eventually. Anything ever happen to the boards at all?

Either way, it's a hot commodity now, voices that is.

phew... a lot going on here I see...and a lot of work to be had. no old faces cropping up on this page, so to speak.

actually, some of the people have some pretty in depth stuff...

heh, and my clunky ol voice demo...ugh.

but, it's nice to check up here and there.

so simply put: hi.

pretty bold words luis, howevr, I truest you may surprise us, although we'd have to see if your interpretations of sexual and passionate either will correlate to the masses on NG who own't understand, or are far too personal to disect quickly.

Of course, I'd enjoy a more personal side, and true 'anime' and sprites no longer hold much when cliche, but one must be truly talented to break all cliche's before them.

so I look foreward to it, I had actually planned more 'romanic' stuff... or at least I'm as serious as always, so we'll see.

regardless, it's good to see some older and old faces still posting here. I haven't seem their stuff in a while.

no so much self-praise as a congrats for my memory and imagination to simply create that from out of the blue. Sort of a 'that's what was in my head, and I translated it paper', more or less, just right. People, myself included, find it hard to do often enough. And other writting is notes on character's relationships, a quote, maybe.

I think this is a real nice emotional piece, one of my absolute favorites. included is a thumbnail of my favoite portion, which is 1/6 of the whole page, the page is so big, i need 2 scans, and that's still not all. I have since made corrections, and it is all not perfect, but it's looking really good, and some solid artwork (for me as of now) for my flash. I think it's gonna work out pretty well, and the emotion/story within that bottom part speaks pages to me. (still experimenting iwth angles, clothes, etc, so it may not be 100% correct, but i study and experiement and learn, and so i get better as best i can.

i've returned even better than when I was before, and have done a bit more work. this is an older scan, some changes, minor, have already been made.

I think you'll like, thanks again :)

notes are on there, but who can read my messy writting.

concepts and notes for my flash, which will come one day...one day..

here are some new pictures. I call it (as of now) "Durus' Finest" (and Gladiana's Remnants).

???, 'Smokey', (a messed up one), Furelia, and Matthew

a thumbnail added to...entice you? these are 2 of the...6 characters portrayed...

Ah... here's an image I did, I couldn't reduce size too much... so you could see detail

working with front view faces and outfits, you see my quick 'Grit' sketch on top?

heh, it's all wrong... but I think the bottom 3/4 came out well.

i've missed these chats for quite a while...
ho hum... well, damn college is consuming and stressful (college apps at least)

ugh.

I'll be about more often (around here) eventually...

A happy belated Thanksgiving!

Ugh, everything has kept me away from here one way or another.

If I could just speak to a few female voice actresses at any time in the near future. I'm not exactly collecting, but getting concensus, etc.

Any male VAs are welcome to contact me too on news of the project. As of now, female roles total... hm.. i think about 10
and male roles are around about 18

so, give me a ring. It's just to talk, almost like an interview. E-mails are so impersonal. Plus a lot of my old female VAs have vanished w/o a trace. Including Kagome_chan, for example.
Oh well.
The movie is taking big steps in art, writting hasn't commenced because I have to work the characters more, so this is good to converse with VAs and potential VAs.

PLEEEEASE, if you absolutly must e-mail me, do it at tesm@sbcglobal.net, not the hotmail one!

anyways, drop a line, just to chat, question me, or I you. Have a fun weekend.

I thank you. These are primarily learned from observation, and I also have a good cache of pictures to work with angles, but also, I have a good photographic memory, all these poses came from my head. and although far from perfect, I am developing my own style (i believe I am) and discovering new techniques.

thanks a bunch, and I'll remember that offer. I'll have to get it later..heh. But I'm glad you like it, it is getting better at least. much more to go.

I still continue to improve my art! Many pages ago, I'd of said I sucked, and ha, knowing full well, many pages later, this will 'suck' too, but I'm proud of this, I'm improving and getting better at the female form, and different facial angles, and slowly integrating 2 characters together.

thanks!

Da1lilThug:

I'd be glad to help/try out, as a major project, i have faith you'll do well to prepare for it, as your art is good as well
I can contact you when I get home from work, or maybe you'll be on Yahoo tonight.

alrighty, imma off!

ugh... over emphasized praise...

anyways, for all of you who blow things outta proportion, you personally egg these things on by saying 'why! I never!' or something.

blah blah. It's funny.. i don't care who it makes fun of. Malicious? eh, I can handle it. You should be thankful that rant had such consitant voice acting! I was impressed, and I'm no particular...uh... spring chicken myself. I may be alright, but they knew what they were doing, and the diction! oh... the diction.

words are words, and teenagers (or the area) will fight if they can't control themselves like many of you have. Just stay calm and easy. be serious, granted, and don't let it slide, but sometimes the serious thing to do is laugh things off... you have to be able to handle SOME 'hate' in life.

c'mon... chill out and just laugh... maybe that's why things get out of control... egos, honor, etc. defend your honor, but don't be rigid!

"she wont dare admit her place in the world" isn't that a little sexist to say, I'm trying to insult you or Kagome, but as a women, that is a pretty sexist thing to say about another women and maybe that's why you two are arguing so much?

ah... I belive that you over emphasize: perhaps you could take it as her place in the world relative to humanity, rather than just women. Because sexism is wrong from either end, but such a borad statement can't be interpreted so lightly, especially on someone's character.

is this thing outta hand? Probably, but we know little of the entire problem, and personally, I find is comical because it's a healthy opposition.

ha ha... fanbase and enemy base. I don't see the bug deal on this rant issue. They've been attacking each other. Each side has truths to it, and his logic isn't considerably wrong. Give or take. You can pick and choose sides, but that's stupid, and over-emphasized bias only leads to a larger split.

I found it very funny, and surprisingly well worded for a rant. ha, and his views on many aspects of the xin series are my own because I have thought that out. Ha ha, NG editorials and truthful about armor games in some, some aspects.

I liked it... I didn't find anything too offensive, ha ha, quality in 'crap' as the public views it.

But it's rare to find such things around too much. and healthy for a community. I don't mind at all.

ah, kagome! I got your e-mail, but you e-mailed my hotmail again. it put it in the junk-mail folder (ciz hotmail is shit, that account is almost 10 year old)

but i got it, e-mail my other one if you recieved my e-mail.

I apologize for this mistake, those interested about what I posted on the previous page, please e-mail me at tesm@sbcglobal.net,

no the hotmail one.

my mistake, sorry guys.

man oh man...have I missed a lot...

oh well, it's not much for me to care all too much.

However, I figured I'd place a notice for the VAs I've been working with, since contacting them via e-mail and IM hasn't been all too successful.

I had the script for Danaria at roughly 64 pages. However, because of some minor character flaws, plot confusion, and writting technique, I have decided to rewrite Danaria, from the beginning. I also have new artwork lined up, or am in the process of doing new artwork, along with full body (soon coloring will begin). I had a feeling this would happen, so i didn't press any of the current VAs I had, and had them do only one or 2 lines. Some of the characters you had have changed in either image, personality, or allegiance.

HOWEVER

this does not mean I have recasted you or dropped you. If you so choose, contact me via e-mail/instant messenger (preferably) and see if this character still fits you, I have reserved each person to the character via my VA notebook. if you do not want the character any more, that's perfectly fine and I will hold no grudge, these were changes on my part.

There are PLENTY of characters in this movie. For main and semi-main characters, it totals about ... I'd have to say over 25 at the moment, along with many minor roles to be filled. I won't open up auditions til I have a good 25% of the script done (as a solid 10min movie would only use... maybe 15% of the script or less), but if you are interested and would like to talk, please come along

these characters are a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE basis : NO EXCEPTONS
however, the catch is you must complete what I have asked you to do for that character, if 2 people are going for it at once, if person B signed up later, but completes the objectives first, he/she will recieve the role.

I will list the known characters, and put an example of my improved art. Just remember that there's no rush, nor am I in a rush to complete it. I have just scratched a 60 page script (hand written) and have no desire to make this a 3 month, or even an 8 month project. It takes as long as it takes.

All VAs will be given ample exposure along with an entire page in the flash movie for them to praise themselves, link to their demos, etc, all within reason, and that's a promise (remind me, because I forget things...not usually, bit it's happened).

Known Characters (main): M=male F= female

Hektor--M

so contact me if you like. I'm very serious about this project, and very perfectionist. I will work hours and hours on end to perfect the script and art the best I can. The art is much improves, as you will see, although females need a bit more work, it is getting there.

thanks for the understanding (old VAs), but that's why I only had you do a few lines, so something like this would be much of a bother.

Well, capitalize this or not on your leisure, it's open to all memebrs here first. if there isn't enough, I may go over ot the VAA, who knows. I also have a wealth of female voice roles, which are serious and not all just 'hot chicks' who are there for the horny idiots on this site.

this is a serious, serious, serious, serious movie, so I will need hard work, bit don't concern yourselves on that right now, that's my job.

thanks again! (whew)

is the original aspect still going on here.. or am I too ignorant of what's going on...

oh well.

still impresing me though AGH. Impressionism was also largely the use of incomprehensible brush strokes which alone are nothing, but blend color to impress an image.

great stuff none-the-less.

I have some art too.. i've improved no?

here's some inked stuff.

dont work with him plain and simple....

correction. his stuff is monotonous and not funny. His movies consist of simple tweens and re-used humor and sprites. he demands lines that are stupid, and you can tell by how proud he is of getting something out that he cares little for a quality project.

his movies look very nice, but are simple, stupid, and boring. I argued with him too, and I frankly think he's a big baby who so full of himself now because 12 year olds love shit jokes.

now flame me all you want because he's your friend or b/c he puts stuff out, but this is my angle on it. deal with it. As a user of flash, i know every one of the techniques he uses. not to mention sprite movies are rampant.

the only sprite movies I've come to respect are Megaman The last catyclysm, not for so much story, but for excellent use of music, perspective, sound, and voices. really well done and the voices get you into it, although plot is questionable. it is very well made though.

anywho.. i'ma round, but I hafta woryr about regionals, sectionals and maybe state for running, so I'm busy as hell.

hey all, been a having some busy times goin my way.. i haven't read anything since pg 310 or so. WOrking on art in my little free time (1 hr or so a day i suppose) and writting.

also shuko, thx, i'll drop a line... do you have AIM or MSN as well.

anyways, i'll be doing a little VAing, but cross country lasts until nov 6th, til the, my days are about 18 hrs on average, and saturdays completely full.

usually when I get into the flow, it takes me about 15 min to do 10 lines properly, regardless of length (i.e 5 seconds to 15 seconds)

longer one's I focus on more... but i do a quick take-retake^5

i usually do a line 15 times over before I accept it.
