Using the Game Creator for Sims Carnival I made this side scrolling ninja game.

In other news, I am working on a sniper mod. Specifically designed to make everyone not stay in one place. When I have pictures ready I will post them.

I got posted on GoNintendo. What I find interesting about the whole thing is from Avatar. He is near the bottom. Unlike any other place that I sent my Wii controls idea too, this guy tried it out. I find it interesting that he even tried. It didn't work. But he tried when others didn't.

My Comics Page. Not the greatest to look at, and not always safe for work. But at least it shows my Photoshop abilities.

My MySpace Blog. I can assure you that I will spell much better when dealing with more professional work. But it does give an idea on my writing style. And that I love videogames.

Mango Languages offers free lessons in linguistics. I am studying Japanese and Italian from it. A friend is learning Russian. So it can likely help you out.

My idea for Wii Controls. Johnny lee has me beat completely. He even has an answer to jumping and ducking. All the person has to do is Jump or Duck. A brilliant piece of work.
On the other hand, using the Nunchuck to turn is still the best idea I know of.

My computer needs repairs at the moment, so finding all of my old Flash work is very difficult to do.
It is mostly Animatics for videos I would like to make. In fact, I should probably make some better videos of them.

I was teaching my sister Photoshop. I decided to edit some of the pictures together. She posted the video on YouTube.

My roommate wanted to make a quick video. So we assembled our toys together and made this. It's supposed to be a film trailer. But it doesn't have a title yet. I called it Bikini Hime.

I enjoy doing strange things with Garry's Mod (GMod) for Half Life 2. I was hooking up thrusters to themselves. It made it look something akin to dragons or water monsters. When I hooked it up to Master Chief, it suddenly became a game. I was trying to kill the zombies using the thrusters as controllers.

After watching the video with Master Chief, I wanted to get a video of people in the open and thrusters. Shortly I discovered that they looked as if they were dancing. With a little work I got some River Dance going. But When I tied two people together, I got something romantic, something almost Tango like. Finding the music was interesting. But I like the end result.

I edited everything using Adobe Premiere. The Operating System on my computer has some strange quirks to it. Windows XP x64 works just like Windows XP. When I tried editing videos from my camera, Premiere wouldn't let me unless I recompiled them, my guess is that it was the OS doing this. Either way, most of my videos ended up being to big for Youtube. I ended up compiling them again into Flash video format, and adjusting the size.

At the moment, I am working on a video entitled, "It's all Power Rangers". My computer needs repairing so much of the previous work needs to be redone, or refilmed. Should be interesting.

The first picture is from Garry's Mod (or GMod) for Half Life 2. I worked hard to get the screen shot of Father Gregori's ascendence for a while. After many tries, this was what I got.
The second picture is of a Happy Little Tree. I gave it a slight papyrus feel to it.

Just recently I saw a video of Bob Ross making a painting. While watching I realized that Photoshop (Gimp Shop for me) could make these same pictures. Using pictures of my friends, and the Teachings of Bob Ross I made some pictures. The picture's of Miik and Erin are some of the first pieces of art I can say I have made.

Welcome!

Bienvenidos a Modelism

The intention of this blog is to show off stuff I am working on.
My first real post will be to show the control style for the Nintendo Wii I made. In fact, the reality is that the entire blog is based solely on showing that. Maybe something more will come of it though.
