DSLR Example – Wonder Woman

Tuesday, July 17th, 2012 at 12:33 am

I’m in the process of doing 16 angle shots of each of my bishoujo characters for my kotobishoujo.com site.

This was taken by me O_O. It looks so professional…though not as professional as it could :/

Here’s an example. Click for a larger image (Warning, the larger image is 4.89 MB).

Hmmm, as I compare this image with some professional images, I notice the color is off on my character. Not sure why. I’ll have to investigate.

Update

This one is truer to the real colors..it still doesn’t look right though!

Update 2

Life + Secret Project KB Updates

Sunday, June 24th, 2012 at 11:18 pm

My life’s been busy the last few day and will continue to be busy for another few weeks. I can’t write about why, unfortunately. Maybe in a few weeks, I’ll let you guys and girls know what’s up.

My Secret Project KB has been progressing well though I haven’t been able to work on it nearly as much as I would have liked.

I did hit my first milestone: 45 retroactive blog posts. Retroactive because I’m way behind in releasing the site and I want users that go to it to think I’ve been around a while :)
This is only about 1/4 of the site’s content.

Next is to build pages on 42 products.
And build 4 other pages after that.

It’s going to be time consuming but I know what I have to do…it shouldn’t be that hard. And it should be fun! :D

Anyways, I’m just blogging because I’m procrastinating something else, more important. Sigh.

Back to studying…(yes, studying!)

The last few weeks have been busy…

Tuesday, June 12th, 2012 at 1:14 am

I can’t believe it’s “only” been 3 weeks since I released warrenshea.com

I’ve been working hard on my Secret Project KB almost immediately after warrenshea.com but there’s still a long way to go. This site, like warrenshea.com, is mostly content based so I can see things taking a long time. There is a blog portion and within the last 21 days, I’ve written 28 short posts, as well as deved the shell of the site. There’s still quite a bit that needs to be done.

I know I haven’t been blogging much but I assure you guys that I’m still working hard. And to be honest, that’s what really matters for me. It feels absolutely great working on a new project and I can’t wait til this is done and I can start another side project or my epic project.

On another note: That Zelda Symphony I’m going to in Sept is coming up pretty quick and I realize I haven’t been playing and beating Zelda: Majora’s Mask or Zelda: Twilight Princess like I wanted to. I’ve been thinking I should prioritize those games over my projects…but I really don’t want to do that >_< . . . It's been 2.5 years since I stopped playing World of Warcraft. I feel like I've done so much in that time. I've really looked hard at the people around me and who I want to surround myself with and why. I've discovered so much about life, constantly thinking about where I'm headed and how I want to get there. There are so many people that are still lost in life. Don't know what to do professionally. Aren't good at their jobs. Don't know what to do with their life. And while I might not be certain of my path, I know that right now, I'm headed in the right direction. Despite all my talk about job and career, I don't believe I'm professionally ambitious. I'm not working for the money, I'm working for the experience. For the love of this hobby/profession. Not very many people can do that. I feel very fortunate that since World of Warcraft, I've been able to dedicate myself to what I believe is a future worth having. All the time spent both free and during work, done with love and passion...for a goal that has no end. You spend 8+ hours a day working. How can you waste that much of your life doing something you don't love? I think the theme of my life the last 2 years has been improvement and motivation. Those 2 things have been the driving force in my life. Well, I think improvement is always something that’s part of everyone’s life but I’ve really been paying attention to those 2 things. And the people that help me achieve them.

Sorry, I know this post is all over the place. Many topics. I’m just writing some things that have been on my mind lately.

Secret Project KB Update

Monday, June 4th, 2012 at 1:51 am

Alright. I suck.

It’s been 1.5 weeks since I posted about this project, since I linked to here:
http://worldofwarren.com/projects/secretprojectkb/
The truth is, working in this directory didn’t seem useful as I had to integrate WordPress into this site again.
So I haven’t updated it in a while. My apologies to those who may have been checking it hoping for something new.

I’ve still been working on this project…while playing Diablo 3, which I want to slow down a bit. I feel WoW type behaviour and that bothers me. While I played a lot this weekend, I’ve also been deving all night :D

Anyways. If you want the new link to my sandbox/live link, go here.

Secret Project KB

Thursday, May 24th, 2012 at 1:38 pm

If you want to see my “sandbox” for my new project, it’s (temporarily) here:

http://worldofwarren.com/projects/secretprojectkb/
(subject to change, create infinite loops, crash browsers, contain profanity)

It’s not complicated, I’m not really deving anything new or lucrative. It’s definitely NOT my epic project. It’s hopefully something that’s done quickly as the longer it’s not done, the less time it will remain relevant. It’s created as a tribute to one of my current passions/hobbies.

Despite saying all this, the reason it’s so secretive is the content. I’ve gotten some co-worker “wtf” backlash from this kinda stuff, but mostly because they just don’t understand the world I, and most of my readers, live in. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

I can forgive ignorance but I cannot forgive closed mindedness.

If a person is unaware of my ways, I can understand if they simply don’t know better. I cannot forgive a person who will cause me grief without being willing to understand my point of view. They don’t have to accept them but they have to accept how I feel about them. If they cannot, if anything outside their definition of normal is abnormal, then to hell with them. Closed minded @#$%&#$%ers.

(you’re likely wondering what it is this site is about…just be patient…you’ll find out soon enough)
