Broken Promises

Heres a copy of a private message i sent to Pat

Quote:
I realize your concern over the sites future. ive said this far too many times, so bear with me.

I spent a good 8 - 9 hours a day playing that fucking game, WoW, and its damn addictive. Well it finally caught up to me. Ive been cut off by my mom, so my WoW account is officially gone, a flacid unattended account ill be selling on ebay.

As for the site: Well ive applied for a job at the local petland, and i have about 300-400 dollars i can spend on this, at the moment, and id be more than happy and willing to shell out up to 500 a year if thats what it would cost. Money isnt an option at this point. Id like to keep it under my payment, and im searching for a large good host, or possibly a dedicated server. If you find one, let me know on AIM or here, or even on my cell phone. i think you have my number.

I want to look into being able to do some of the technical shit on the site. Ive said this many times in the past, its time i actually start to learn this. Im going to pick up some books on php, css, and some other smaller coding to try to be able to help with the upkeep. Its all on your shoulders, and thats not something that was meant to be or supposed to be.

Pat i always promised id never pull a chrisuk, and i never thought id break it, and i did. Ive neglected this site far too long, and with WoW out of the way its time i step up to the plate and get shit done. My printer / scanner is not hooked up, tomarrow i have off so ill be on all day and ill have it hooked up tomarrow. If you check the tutorials forum, ive already stated a few tutorials. I'd like to give you a range of whats to come:

-Human Anatomy Series
-Part 1 deals with the materials i use, mediums, and begins with the upper body. I'm basing this loosely off what ive learned myself, and what ive come up with. Starting with the neck and upper body is my goal for this week, and getting it out by next. By being able to understand the muscles involved in the body and how it moves, you can much more fully realize and draw with accuracy what the scope of this is.

-Part 2 deals with the arms solely, possibly the chest as well. Again, by having a stern understanding of how it functions im confident people can really draw with accuracy. The point of this whole line is to get people to realize its easy to just copy a picture, but if you really understand it and how it functions, you can capture it much more fully.

-Part 3 deals with the chest and abdominal section

-Part 4 deals with the legs

Ive also got something started with color, well see how that goes, and i'm thinking about writing up something for perspective drawings, possibly branching this off into pixel art basics, thus inter-connecting real world grit and bones art with computer graphic design and computer art.

I'll be on AIM a lot this week, we can talk further there. Im going to post a copy of this in the news forum.
This should give you an idea of whats to come. I had to edit it because it was too long for a PM but yeah, i think what needs to be said is there. You guys should see my PM inbox, i had about 4 or so from Pat about this server upgrade, so i'm seriously looking around for something more perm. and more... ours. I wont post what pat wrote, because im not sure if he wants everyone to know, but we are reaching our limit, so if any problems come up, please feel free to AIM me at AsyranChimp or pat. his AIM is in his profile.

Re: Broken Promises

I'm glad to hear this Jay. And for what it's worth, I plan on making some tutorials as well. Being Sicloans brother, I have seen glimpses of the next version of vdcore, and It seems like a lot to take on. The last we can all do is help Pat by making tuts, and staying active, because in the long run, it will just help ourselves.

Re: Broken Promises

Dedicated server eh? I have this ol' thing here that i'm trying to set up as a Counter-Strike server. Not sure if it's got the horsepower you're looking for, but it's alright.

866mhz Pentium 3
64 mb of PC133 RAM. (I'm planning on buying another 256 stick soon)
40 gig quantum fireball HDD.
CDRW drive (i'm jackin the DVD drive outa it.)

If you want it, pay for shipping and i'll send it to ya. I'll be adding the RAM in a couple weeks. I doubt it'll be powerful enough, but if so, i'd be glad to help.

Thanks for the offer but we aren't buying co-location. Its to expensive (a couple grand initially, and then you have to pay for bandwidth a month). And we probably won't go full dedicated right away, probably more like a VPS (virtual private server) type thing.

Re: Broken Promises

Jay those tuts sound excellent, if I felt I could explain the way I drew I'd be more than happy to add some tutorials.

Re: Broken Promises

Ok, I came into this site with no knowledge of this pat guy. Who is he...?


Oh, and whatever about the future. I already like the tuts. I've used some myself (never post any of my works though <_<) But, meh. New stuff is always cool. Good luck.

Re: Broken Promises

I could make a sig tutorial to help, but not a script version, it would be too vague. I need to know how to record what I'm doing on teh phartoshop.

I know what actions are, I'm talking about a video tutorial. I don't know how to record myself so people can watch what I'm doing.
