TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!



KANEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!






DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!



"And everyone died! The end!"
"But the blog died too!"
"Oh no!"
Well, I guess that's a good opening to my last post. Now all I have to do it answer some questions.
1. What was your absolute FAVORITE thing we did?
-It's way too hard to choose one part. I love GarageBand, iMovie and the ITT field trip all equally.
2. What is something you were surprised by?
-The Food. Lots of pizza. Wow!
3. Who is someone you have become friends with in the last two weeks?
-No one specifically, but I have been friendly and familiar with many people here.
4. What thing did you learn that you will probably continue to use in the future?
- The career chocies in video games. I understand a lot more now, and hope to join in the effort to make great video games in the future.
5. Would you recommend the Digital Media camp to other friends? WHY or WHY NOT?
-YES, because learning here is actually more fun here than in school!
Well, that's my last blog. I really enjoyed this camp and all I've learned. Thanks for everything! -John

Today I learned...

I'm an idealist. And ARTISTIC idealist.

I wonder what I'll make?... What do you think?

ITT

It was good. Wish I could say more, but I can't.

No, seriously. I don't have time.

All I'll say is that I learned a lot about the computer field and how hard it is. Well... at least with just a mouse.

Ahem... now that we have that out of the way... now I'll share some even better pictures I made myself.







The good camp

You guys know I'm typing this from a camp, right? If you're viewing this some minutes, hours, or even a couple days after it was made, then you know we're in the same room, essentially.

I am currently attending the digital media camp in my town. This camp has actually been pretty enjoyable. Here, in the small chance that you didn't know, I'll tell you why.

We've been taking a class actually about blogging. It may seem somewhat fruitless at first, but I hadn't actually done it before. I've gotten to know my fellow campers a bit more since the blogging class started. However, my real favorite computer class has been the iMovie class. We've drawn storyboards (in which I stole a moment to doodle), watched some videos on a woman that creates pictures to sand, and created some music in GarageBand. I only played around with the program for about an hour, but I made a song I'm really proud of.

My second favorite part of the camp (though it really shouldn't be second) is the people I've met here. I met some friends I've known for a long time here, but I've also gotten to know some new people, though I'm still too shy to mention anyone specifically yet. I feel more comfortable getting to know people here.

My third favorite is the field trips we've been taking. Just last week, we went to our state college. We had a great lunch at the cafeteria, and got to see the studio there. I didn't even know they had one here!

Overall, this camp has really helped me in learning some things in digital media. There is a friendly staff too. I really enjoy it here.

Something Speaks: 25 Things I like



1. Final Fantasy VII. I almost died when I didn't have it.

2. Paper. So I can draw. If I don't have any, I'll go nuts.

3. Pencil. Also so I can draw. If I don't have any, I'll go nuts.

4. Erasers. So I can erase what I didn't want to draw. 10% of the time, I'll be fine without it. The other 90% of the time, I'll go nuts.

5. Katsuhiro Otomo. If we didn't have AKIRA, someone else would go nuts and blow up the world. It may as well be Tetsuo.

6. Japan. Where all the good TV shows and Video games are, even if some of them are too cute, crazy, or even planning to enslave the United States through subliminal messaging for revenge on the United States for Hiroshima.

7. Youtube. Where else would I illegally view unreleased anime and listen to copyrighted music?!

8. RPGs.

9. DeviantArt. Even though I'm not popular.

10. Hayao Miyazaki. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWdCEPIz780

11. Corn Dogs. Unfortunately, I can live without them.

12. Computers. How could I type here without one?

13. The Camp. Actually fun.

14. Tae Kwon Doe. Although I stopped taking the class about a year ago, I still remember some "skills."

15. Vanishing point and Eye level. I need those.

16. OneManga. There are now over 500 chapters of Naruto. How did I know that? Go now!

17. Final Fantasy Tactics. It's like Checkers, but with individuality!

18. Square Enix. I would die of boredom without it.

19. Michael Jackson. Beat it, Thriller, and the Smooth Criminal remake.

20. Bruce Lee. He beat Chuck Norris before he became immortal!


























21.DasBoschitt. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX!

22. Tech High School. A love-hate relationship.

23. My own world. I kill off my characters! :D

24. Dr. Pepper. I cannot live without this sweet elixir of life.

25. I love corgis. They're cute. Funny. Stupid, a lot of the time. But still Loveable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-f98EI_Ajs

Something's Introduction

I'll make this simple. Because I don't know how to make this complicated. ... maybe.

I'm John. I draw some simple things, like people, in anime/manga form. Strangely, I'm American. I have my own drawings (some good, some downright idiotic) posted on DeviantArt, under the name of TodoyasIslander. Strangely, the "Todoya" and the "Island" are absent. The account was named after a comic I used to draw, which was ironically discontinued before the account was even made. Don't worry, you're not missing much. It was terrible and in horrible taste anyway. Don't listen to what the other Jon says about it.

However, I've recently taken an interest in Garry's Mod and 3D Studio Max, and, as I am currently thinking of these things in their 3-Dimensional form, have been trying to find out how PSP and PS2 models can be extracted, or "ripped."

It's a weird feeling. It's like I want to collect the models from Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core, games both by Square Enix, or, as I call them, "Squeenix," and play with them in Garry's Mod (Gmod) like action figures. Perhaps I'd create pictures, heck, even stop motion movies with them. I know they can be extracted, or at least replicated, in 3D studio max, as seen in IntenseObservation's gallery on DeviantArt.

Anyway, I've been playing too many Video Games as of late. So much so, I've only been doodling at camp. I'm in an art block at this point, and hope I get some inspiration at some point.

Anyway, thanks for skipping down here, instead of reading my post! No one really cares about one of the generic characters anyway. :D
