The Other M

tnzizz0 — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 06:09:28 +0000

Howdy,

I know it’s been a while, but I have been busy! Really! I have! Anyways, I was doing some painting the other day and I came up with some Samus Aran pictures. It’s not the BEST stuff out there on the web but it’s pretty good as far as paintings I can do! Anyone plan on buying the Other M when it comes out? I think I might have too. I recently purchased the Mtroid Rpime Trilogy. It’s alright. I want to see the new look on the Metroid series for the Wii.

New tnzCreative!

Hello everyone!

I have been working on yet ANOTHER design for tnzCreative.com. It’s always so hard to ‘brand’ yourself but I think I came up with a design I realllly love. I want my work to speak for itself on the site so I’ve made the layout less colorful. As you can see, design wasn’t left out though! I have total control of white space in this layout not to mention the typography. Any design should recognize that I put extra time in the small things. I’m also thinking of changing the logo. I’ll make it match the dog sticker and the paper background.

Black and White

There was an idea we had a while back about a design studio. For a while there we were considering the name Black and White. This BW logo happens to be my initials so I liked the idea. We eventually dropped the idea because it sort of seems a but controversial. We did come up with some logos though. Check these babies out.

JA3 – What’s that?

Howdy,

My favorite place on the internet is back. JoinedArtists.org! It’s an online community that provide constructive feedback on art, animation and anything that requires a form of creativity. It’s sort of a tight niched community and you have to apply to view all of the forum.

This is the 3rd installment of the forums and there is a lack of a homepage. With all my excitement I designed them a home page. Whether they use it or not is still in the air. If they do it would be a honor!

The design behind this was “powered by the users”. It is after all the users that keep bringing the site back when it goes offline. No matter what happens to the site itself the JA users seem to find each other. They gravitate towards each other like there is some kind of magic that leads them to one another. They are a great community and I wish them well in their creative adventures.

Flash – Music Spectrum

tnzizz0 — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 23:10:08 +0000

Hey guys, I made this a while back. It’s a flash sound spectrum. It’s pretty much a moving bar that measures sound. It’s actually really easy to make and even easier to customize. Take a peek at it here.

Here’s the code if you would like to use it in your own flash files. I think I’m going to make a music player with flash using the spectrum as some kind of visual effect. Well, see you around!

var s:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest(“04 Wildcat.mp3“));

//loop
//s.play(0, 1000);

var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);

function loop(e:Event):void
{
graphics.clear();
graphics.beginFill(0xFF00FF);
graphics.moveTo(-1, 150);
SoundMixer.computeSpectrum(ba);
for(var i:uint=0; i<256; i++)
{
var num:Number = -ba.readFloat()*200 + 150;
graphics.lineTo(i*2, num);
}
graphics.lineTo(512, 300);
graphics.lineTo(0, 300);
graphics.lineTo(-1, 150);
}

A more Mature style of art

These are some drawing I had done a little while back while experimenting with color. I think the design of the overall composition looks pretty good too! Check it out!

OLD – Incomplete FlashGame site

tnzizz0 — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:34:16 +0000

haha, I thought I’d post this. The art isn’t finished but majority of the code is. This was a site that was suppose to be made for a companies up coming game. As I was building the site and in contact with the developers I started to notice how unorganized the game developers were. Once again this project got the wrong end of the stick. The project was dropped before the developers could send me and official information or artwork for the game. This is my hollow beta mess.
There was a cool concept that we had added in. We sort of decided to make an internal game within the site. Sort of a way to reward users for poking around. Once you had found all the pieces to the “space ship” it would unlock the media part of the website in which users could download wallpapers.
Hope you have javascript enabled!

"it COULD be real one day"

None of the images were completed. I had only a few weeks to put together this site and never received any official work or even information about the game or it’s characters. Sounds pretty unreliable right? Well, I was in school and too excited to NOT do it.

Cartoon News Show

tnzizz0 — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 20:59:20 +0000

I’m working together with a bunch of writers and film graduates on a animated series. I can’t really tell you much about the show other than it’s about a news team covering events that go on in their animated world.

This is a clip I made testing out a characters mouth movements. I am currently the leading art director to this project as well as animator. The show can be categorized with The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, and Adventure Time with Finn & Jake. Here’s a drawing I did for this character.

Art History

tnzizz0 — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 18:50:33 +0000

This was Online Course that was worked on while in school. There were about 4 or 5 of us that worked on this project. I worked on some of the layout as well as programed the Quiz page and Performance page. The performance page submits the results of the quiz and turns it into a percentage.

We only had a couple of weeks to build this site and it was a learning curve for some of us at the time of it’s production. If you would like to explore the website you can log in as a gust user with the username: guest and password: 12345.

DA Requests

tnzizz0 — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 16:22:53 +0000

Lately I have been getting a lot of requests from user on DeviantArt.com. It’s mostly drawing requests to recreate some of the users own animé characters. They are just rough images because all of these requests are free of charge. Come check them out!
