HELLO AGAIN!
So I did more art and here it is!
This is something I drew the other day for fun, again: to learn how to draw. There's a story idea in my head somewhere about a huge figure that roams the land, I might be leveled up enough to draw it now because frankly I wasn't 4 years ago when I drew this! Anyway, I have 19 pages left to go on my comic, soon soon!

| Learning to go Digital |
[05/25/2009|10:40 am] |
Hello again!
While working on my latest comic I go from drawing on paper to scanning to digital clean up to digital painting and it's a pain! I'd love to just do everything digitally but I've never been one for drawing in high resolutions with a tablet.
People say "Get a Cintique!" and I'm not averse to spending money but I have a 300 dollar tablet sitting here, I should try to learn to use that first, right?
So I drew this the other day to see what it would be like drawing a page at 300dpi
It's definitely not as easy as drawing on paper and I think while working on this and another thing I want to upgrade to Photoshop CS4 because they finally added in canvas rotation like Painter. Other people suggest Manga Studio because it has canvas rotation and it does some nice stuff with lines and I think I'll try that again
This is what I did with Manga Studio before my computer crashed last time...
Anyway, I'm just showing off to remind people that I'm alive still and that I can draw!

| Interviews! |
[05/18/2009|08:03 pm] |
Hey pals!
So I've been interviewed! A few times actually...
Once for Guitar Hero® On Tour: Modern Hits™ which I was lead artist on... Being lead artist not a lot of my art got into the game but that's ok!
More importantly I was interviewed by Comix 411 for the 24 Hours Batman comic - LINK
I felt a little weird taking credit for Bman's hard work but I figure what the hell, what's he going to do about it?!
Also I guess I'll post a bunch of random art just for something to look at:
This is a cowboy like person I painted at work to test capturing myself working to video. I might post the video some time later.
This was a proof of concept drawing for a game me and a friend were going to do at work but then we didn't even come close to actually doing it, WOO!
This is a 3d model I made of an undead soldier. The idea being that while he is undead his clothing hints at it with a scarf acting like organs hanging out of his body and white panels that look like ribs.
This is an animation from a game I'm working on at home. I'm probably going to scrap this and go with a different one because this one isn't quite what I want.
So there's some art!
UPDATE:
In the interview I mention that I've been working on a comic this whole time and that is true and it is almost done and I will post it soon and it will be awesome just trust me on that. Jess ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) finkenstein likes it so it's gotta be good! She wouldn't just tell me that my comic is good to spare my feelings because we're dating!
Anyway, how are you?

Hey again!
So this is weird.. I was walking around outside the other day when I came across a little packet in the snow by a drainpipe of a capital building. I opened it up and I think... I think it's someone's Hourly Comics from 2 weeks ago, I'm not going to say to much but I scanned them [disobeying the instructions] and compiled them for you to read...
Here is the link for all of them: 24hours
Weird!

Hello everyone!Long time no see! Well, I've been BUSY™ so lay off!
Anyway, Jess and I made some thing to show you, they are LOST related and they WILL SPOIL THE SHOW IF YOU ARE NOT UP TO DATE!
THAT IS A WARNING!
Anyway, click through to see them all, print them out, give them to your sweety, don't plan on getting sex from them afterwards though...
THAT IS ANOTHER WARNING! 
CLICK FOR MORE!
They get better than this one, this is just a teaser that spoils nothing!
ALSO: What have I been BUSY™ with? I've been drawing a comic. An honest to goodness comic, not some pixel stuff about how awesome Jess and I are. I just finished sketching out every page and finalizing half of them. What's left to do is finish drawing the final 30 pages [I think the full comic is 61 pages] and then add tone to them and then find some way of printing it before MoCCA! I am super excited!
When the whole thing is done I will start posting it on the internet for you all to enjoy.
Hooray!

Hello my children!
So Jess and I went to France... THE COUNTRY!
This was my first time being in a plane for like 13 years or something. I went to Florida with my family when I was a little kid and too bored to even notice that I was going 500 miles an hour through time and space!
So I was kind of freaked out about the plane ride and this cartoon pretty much sums up the ENTIRE 7 HOURS THERE!
So yes, I survived I THINK! I decided that I am not afraid of flying. I trust science. I am just afraid of the BOREDOM. I can't read on the plane because my head is all "Woah nelly! Why are you looking down?" and there is only so many times one can watch Iron Man (and that number is 3, the final time in French) but the plane rides back were so much better that I have decided flying ain't no thang. Hooray for over-coming! I also took over 450 pictures. If you added up all the pictures I've ever taken in my life and compared it to how many pictures I took in a 7 day period, France would win... And then surrender AMIRIGHTFOLKSHONESTLYTHATJOKENEVERGETSOL D Anyway, here is the gallery of pictures I took with captions: http://kafkaskoffee.com/Mittens/MittensFrance2008/
I have also started up a scheduled work week at home. The first 2 days of the week I shall be working on the effects for my brother's movie. The second 2 days I shall be working on my comic. The last 2 days I shall work on my game. Sunday I shall rest. Like Jesus Christ. And like Jesus Christ I will also play Xbox... Look for Savi0urAss4Mass on Xbox Live!
Love,
Eric Colossal

| Spore |
[06/16/2008|09:31 pm] |
So... Anyone else try out the Spore creature creator?
I did, here are my creations!
and of course, a Kaiju:
If I get Spore I am going to make a planet full of Kaiju.. It will be better than all planets.

| MoCCA 2008 |
[06/10/2008|11:45 am] |
Hooray everyone!
MoCCA was fun and I have pictures! It was great to see everyone even though I am basically known as "Jess's boyfriend" around those parts. But that's O.K.! It's better than being known as "Hitler's boyfriend".
I am halfway done with my newest book, it currently stands at 23 pages. The story just reached the halfway point and I probably have another 20 pages to go, maybe... Possibly.
OH! Also, I had a personal project that I got done at MoCCA
Click here to view it!
After coming back from MoCCA I always have the "ALRIGHT, LET'S MAKE A COMIC FOR SERIOUS NOW, SERIOUSLY" and it's good to know that I already have a comic well in the works. Hopefully I can get it done and printed for SPX and then drum up some interest before going to SPX. Then I need to find some table to put my comic... I'd hate to have to wait 363 days to debut it at MoCCA.
Where the hell is my time machine?! I think Jess has it, she's probably back in time having a threesome with herself... AGAIN

| Famously Athiest |
[03/23/2008|12:18 am] |
Ahoy there!
Friend and fellow indie adventure game creator red_your_mind has had her comic featured on Pharyngula, a sciencey/athiesty/evidence based thoughty blog. Pretty much the most popular one out there at the time.
So Hooray for her!
Also her name is Erin and mine is Eric so by word association I am sharing in 3/4 of this awesome right now! HOOR for me! |

| HOLY CRAZY, BATMAN |
[12/06/2007|07:03 pm] |
So hi guys! Yea so interesting things have been happening as can be read about in Jess' comic...
http://finkenstein.livejournal.com/89363.html
BUT! I just wanted to post a thing I made after the first neighbor incident happened... So the crazy lady drew a picture of Oprah and tapped it over a sticker of Andre the Giant, ya know those OBEY stickers? Anyway, we were still in the mind set "She's just an eccentric artist, that's funny..." when this happened so I opened up flash and made this:
I wanted to tape it next to the image she made but before I could she proved herself to be an insane nutjob and I feared for my life!
Hooray! |
|
|
| Hooray! More fans! |
[10/24/2007|07:42 pm] |
Hooray everyone!
I have another fan comic by my friend Erin Robinson! She is a fellow adventure game creator. She has made games, here are links:
Spooks
http://new.bigbluecup.com/games.php?action=detail&id=688
A game about a little spirit girl and her pet goldfish
Blackwell: Unbound
http://www.wadjeteyegames.com/unbound.htm
A game about a little spirit guy and his pet 70's lady! Actually I don't know what it's about because I haven't played it yet but the reviews have been quite good!
Anyways, here's the comic!
Hooray! This took place on the way back from the cabin me and a bunch of friends rented in Canada. That is where we met Erin and Kevin. Check out Francisco's pose in the second panel... He is voguing for that candy bar!
I have my own hooray planned for some time in the near future, it's another animation, considerably shorter than the Zombie one... But I have to get so much stuff done in the meantime!

| BIRTHDAYS?! |
[09/13/2007|11:00 pm] |
Hooray everyone!
Here's a comic for you from me love!
HAHA! Today is a day for celebration and mourning!
But mostly celebration because I have my first guest comic! It is by Helm who you may remember from an earlier comic where we hung out and he forgot his shirt. Well he did a guest comic for me and it's pretty sweet...
Was that awesome? check one box [ ] Yes [ ] Yes
However I'm pissed at him for getting a penis in my comic before I could! So when you see Colossal Dick in the future don't think Helm paved any way for me... I AIN'T AFRAID OF NO DICK!
Love

[09/10/2007|12:19 am] |
Hello my peepers,
So there's this game called Knytt Stories by a dude who goes by the name Nifflas:
http://nifflas.ni2.se/
It's pretty great! There is also a level editor and I made a level!
It Waits
http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?topic=1282.msg18470#msg18470
You might also like my friend Ghormak's level:
Rain
http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?topic=1156.0
or maybe my friend Pete's level!
http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?topic=1216.0
Ghormak made the music for my level and I made the sound effects and new tiles!
Enjoy or don't!

| Continuing the Hooray theme... |
[08/29/2007|09:07 pm] |
So it turns out my post is probably broken for some people! The video shows up as just a broken link, THANKS LIVE JOURNAL!
So here's a direct link to a page with just the animation on it.
This is the same animation I posted last night but hopefully people can see it this time!
Also, after completing the cartoon I celebrated by eating a frozen treat! It's a Lemonade Popdickle!
Yummy boners!

| Hooray! Finally done! |
[08/28/2007|09:12 pm] |
Hooray everyone!
Finally I finished this freakin' thing! I started it many many moons ago after finishing my canceled project at work! Uncool my project was canceled, awesome that I started this comic!
I hope you enjoy it! It was fun to make and it diverted me from working on my new game for a few weeks. [booray?]
Without further ado, turn on your speakers and watch!
I also want to give huge thanks to Francisco Gonzalez of Ben Jordan fame: http://www.grundislavgames.com/
Davy Stedham of Reality on the Norm fame:
http://ron.the-underdogs.info/game.php?id=135
Andreas Slotte of Achtung Franz fame:
http://achtungfranz.com
Andrew Edmark of http://www.aedmark.com fame.
And a relative unknown girl by the name of Jess Fink, she's not famous at all on the internet:
http://finkenstein.livejournal.com
And me, of this comic fame!
Love,
Eric Colossal
update! Ok, so I'm having a poop of a problem getting both this flash file and Hoorathiests to show up, it's either one or the other, anyone have any clues? |

|
| BLASPHEMY! |
[08/07/2007|07:58 pm] |
Hooray everyone!
So there's this little thing called the Blasphemy Challenge. It was started by the Rational Response Squad:
http://www.blasphemychallenge.com/
Basically they want people to record themselves committing the one unforgivable sin from the Christian bible, Blasphemy against the holy spirit.
Here! Watch Rebecca Watson of skepchick.org partake!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76z39Ix9emI
So that's the lead up to my newest Hooray!
I can't figure out how to have 2 embedded flash files so until I figure that out, here's a link to another page with the flash on it.
http://kafkaskoffee.com/junk/lj/comics/hoor-atheists.html
There we go! Now the internet knows! Don't tell the baby Jesus!
Also, my next Hooray! is almost done and it's going to be awesome, hopefully it'll be done for next week.
Awesome!

| Goodbye Mr. Wizard |
[06/13/2007|12:16 am] |
Sad news everyone!
Mr. Wizard died today! WHAT THE HELL?
I don't usually post things like this but it's Mr. Wizard!
So maybe we can get some drawings for the wizard of science?
Here is my late night sketch, I wish I had more energy to add some tone to it...
