Well golly! Been a month since I've updated my journal. I'm so lazy

Ok so, two prizes have been drawn. Still got three to go. One that I'm working on has been particularly a pain. I had to redraw it three times and in the end I wasn't satisfied so I just changed the picture entirely. I suck at perseverance.

News regarding Gunshot Emblem, I've recently drawn an angle sheet for villain character. I gave the sheet to my brother and he is in the process of creating a 3D model of the character. He's almost finished actually. It hardly took him any time. I think all he has to do is finish the details on the head and connect the skeleton to to actual model.

Then he'll give me a UV map and I'll create the textures.

For you guys who don't know what UV map is, it's pretty much like origami. It's all the pieces of your model layed out on one sheet. And then you need to use a program like photoshop to create the textures. In other words coloring the model. And to do that, you basically color in all the pieces on the UV map. Just like a coloring book except you can go outside the lines. Buuut it may take me a while to make the textures because UV maps are not always organized. And it doesn't exactly label what's, what. A part of the arm could be up there, the head could be way over there. It's usually just a huge mess. So it takes a while to complete.

Either way, when it's done I'll have my brother properly pose the model and I'll put the screenshots up on here so you guys can see.


And I'm probably gonna be contacting my development crew (you know who you are) and we'll have some sort of fancy meeting and talk about the story's development. However snacks will not be provided so bring your own. :'C

Hey, results of the contest are in. And I'm bending the rules. Since more than three people entered and I loved all the characters that I've seen so far, I couldn't just choose three of them.

So I'm accepting more than three characters and I'm not limiting the slots. The best part is, people will still receive prizes if the character is accepted.

Here's the characers who have been accepted so far,

Landsy Ceynax created by,
Kalee Alibastaar created by,
Erik Malizia created by,
Selene Stallis created by,
Makoto Sasuki created by, (I still need a background history from her)

Anyone else who wants to enter, you're welcome to. The deadline is still Halloween. However since I'm accepting more than three entries the contest prizes will take a little longer to finish so please be patient if you're waiting on a prize.


This also means the comic will take longer to make since I have more characters to fit into the story. But this is why I'm making a development team. Anyone who's character has been accepted can join the team if they want to. I'd very much appreciate it if you guys joined. It shouldn't take any of your free time and it helps the comic making go a lot more smoothly.




Thanks guys! -Tay

Oh boy guess what! Gunshot Emblem needs a little more time in development before I can start the comic. I realized there weren't enough characters, not a strong enough of a plot yet ect. I haven't even bothered designing or NAMING the main villain. XD


I'll get straight to the point. Ahem. WE NEED YOU. YES YOU TO JOIN FORCES WITH US. That is to say, I'm needing cameo characters for Gunshot Emblem. So if you are interested, PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS.

What do you get out of this? Well first of all if I accept your character they will make appearances in Gunshot Emblem. Secondly if I accept your character you will receive a prize, I will take an art request from you. The picture you request will be a full colored photoshop drawing.


There are three character slots opened. ( These will only be filled once your character has been accepted by me. )

1. Landsy Ceynax
2. Kalee Alibastaar
3.

Heck I'll be honored if just one of you guys wants to make one.

There isn't really a first, second or third place prize. Everyone who gets their character accepted will get the same prize.

Ok here are some guidelines you need to know! Your character has to either be human, an anthropomorphic animal or a robot. Note: if you make a robot, it can be anything from a computer to a little chibi robot that follows people around and eats their food. NOMS. Oh and the anthropomorphic characters can be any animal so long as it actually exists, in example, Abbey = Meerkat Mel = Mongoose.

As far as humans go, there aren't many guidelines for them. They can have robot body parts, they can blind, mute, deaf, a vegetable if you want! But they can't have super natural powers. In gunshot emblem they completely rely on technology and their own realistic strength. No supermans allowed here.

But the number one rule for any character you make, no matter what they are, they either have to be a civilian, which is to say they wouldn't do much fighting at all. Or be enlisted in the two armies of the story.




Malato Army ( The baddies that wanna kill everyone )

The Malato Army is commanded by a cruel dictator. Their mission is to keep society on a tight leash. They rule the most populated continent on the planet ( Which is not Earth by the way. ) and are spreading their influence through out the world as they get stronger. Many civilians fear the army and dare not oppose them. Those who do are usually shot on the spot.

The army's officers and soldiers, much like their leader are cruel as well. However some have joined this army entirely against their will.

Many refer to the army as ill and sick as in insane, ruthlessness and violent. A hidden easter egg, because the word malato is Italian for "sick".


Yeah, the Malato Army is pretty much full of socialists.



Justice ( Essentially the good guys )

Justice is an organization bent on throwing the Malato Army out of power and restoring hope to the world.

Justice started out as one person who stood up for the rights of the people. After time other people became brave and decided to stand up as well. Now Justice has many members world wide, dedicated to fighting for hope and freedom.

Most have to keep their membership of Justice a secret, for the Malato Army would strike down any person who was believed to be a member of Justice.


They are the only successful organization to ever oppose the Malato Army.


Both armies have specific standard uniforms. So I'll draw those if anyone is going to make a character for either of those groups.

If you have any questions, please ask me about it.




If you create a character this is what you have to do,

Draw a reference picture of your character, once you are finished send me a note with this form filled out.

Reference Image: ( Put a link to the picture here ) Note: the image MUST be drawn by you.

Basic Information:
Gender:
Species:
Age:
Personality:
Occupation:

And PLEASE throw in any extra info that you have about your character when sending me this form.




Have fun guys, I hope a lot of you enter. Although if a lot of you do enter it will be tough just choosing three characters because all of you guys are awesome.



By the way, Zuki and I have connecting avatars now. Inside joke really.

Well the Sunny poser has been banned but now Mekon apparently has a hate club. Hrm. Right around the time the Sunny poser got banned. You seeing a pattern here? It's obviously the same person. There's no doubt in my mind. Maya will be next too I'm sure.

I've made it my mission to make an investigation. Find out who this person is. Because there's no reason why they should be doing this. I have figured out that they know Sunny/Maya/Mekon personally. They've gone to far too much trouble to make Sunny and Mekon look bad for them to be a stranger. There's some kind of grudge there. What really gave it away on the Sunny poser thing was that they knew the "Sunoaster" joke.

There was a picture in Maya's gallery explaining that joke. They had to see it, otherwise there would have been no way for them to know that joke.

Anyway let me know if you guys have an idea of who it may be.

-Tay

[link] <--- .... Who the fail is this.


It's certainly not Sunny. How stupid can you get? I mean really. People like this make me wanna puke. And do something horribly morbid to them. The hard part, making it look like an accident.

I've known Sunny for like what... Five years? I think I know when someone is impersonating her.


Apologies for the filler journal. But anyway, now I think you know what you must do.



We should start a kiriban for how many reports that girl gets. -Tay



Oh and ya, my sub ended as you can tell.


Latest progress on Gunshot Emblem:

I got my new tablet so I will start working on the actual comic pages now. HOOLPAH.
