Mars Eskara Wiki says on Oceanography.. Quote: It covers a wide range of topics, including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries. I like marine organisms, but I have a feeling that the course is on the stuff that comes after that. But still it should be interesting :3

[ Lucemon ] That didn't show up in the announcements.... was it supposed to? o.0 Either way, that's kickass. I can finally just get rid of flowers and crumbled papers instead of selling a bunch of it for one or two gold. I dunno. xD; I just happened to notice it in the "What's Hot" section of the Gaia Homepage this morning, and had to share. Same here, I never do anything with that stuff anyways. I never got into bouquet making, so the flowers/paper is useless. Still make bug ink though... >_>

So I come home from work today, and there's a letter from the government inside. Turns out it's my TAX REFUND! $_$ And I've already got plenty saved for Anime North next week, so I don't need to touch it for goodies. SCORE! *fistpumps* Of course, considering half the stuff I want isn't coming out until AFTER Anime North, I doubt I'll be spending much anyways. >_> ...Erm, as you were. xD;; [/gloatrant] EDIT: And I'mma copy-paste what I just poted to LRG. Discuss? Quote: We've got the release date and cover for Ultimate Muscle 24 (via Amazon): Release Date: November 3, 2009 Creepy Mantaro is CREEEEEPY. His NECK. D8

Good news!
Don't know if I've mentioned this before but I've been on academic probation this quarter. Found out even if I somehow manage to flunk, I can still remain at AiP if I change my major! (which I am, anyways)
Next quarter, I'll be taking a break from Media Arts and Animation and will be switching to Graphic Design for my associates degree (meaning I'll be going to this school for four quarters under the graphic design major). I'll just making being an animator (or working somewhere in that field) a long-term goal. For now, I'mna need Graphic Design especially now that I GOT THE JOB!!
Yes, that's right. I got a job as a graphic artist for Blackcat Paintball (originating from back home). I'll be designing posters, brochures, and banners! $50 a poster, $10 an hour spent on each poster, and $25 on each brochure. He's not sure about the banners, yet, though.
Another bit of good news, fanart will be made possibly soon, that means more Kinnikuman Nisei renders in cel-shading (finally). There's a chance over my summer quarter, though, that I'll be teaching myself Flash. This means I can make custom animations of U.M. characters and whatnot.. thing is.. if you want one, you gotta pay me. I won't do this stuff for free unless maybe it's the Secret Santa (and that's only if I'm not over-booked with homework).
There's been some debate that I was going to make a small online comic that stars Gazelleman working with The Black Panther (Marvel Comics©), but rough draft storylines have so far, not been satisfying enough to make it an actual side-project for your viewing pleasure. Other mental debates include Watchmen-Kinnikuman Nisei crossover comics (one-shots, of course), and small chance in Team AHO vs The Decepticons.
Wish me luck on my new major and fanart plannings!

Congrats on your new job, MissM! heart Welcome aboard the Graphics train!
I actually originally went for Animation, but by the time I went through an Art Fundamentals course, decided it really wasn't for me (plus I did have the grades LOL), so I too switched over to Graphic Design. I haven't regretted it (though I'm current;y not doing that job); there's such a wide variety of things you can do under that title, and you aren't stuck at a desk drawing the same character 500 times; every piece is different! Who knows, you might come to enjoy Graphics alot more than you think.
...I need to get my butt going and do some art. ._.
EDIT: EARLY EI UPDATES, AND RAINBOW UNI-LLAMAS! 8D
Oh Gogh Reed, how I love you...

Oh, and after graphic arts (I did this so I wouldn't look bad leaving college.. you know, switching majors like this) I'm wanting to come back either to finish up under Animation, or do Entertainment and Design (animatronics, stage make-up, masks, etc.) because I really do wanna work for the movies.

MissMothra What art school did you go to? o.o
Oh, and after graphic arts (I did this so I wouldn't look bad leaving college.. you know, switching majors like this) I'm wanting to come back either to finish up under Animation, or do Entertainment and Design (animatronics, stage make-up, masks, etc.) because I really do wanna work for the movies. For my Art Fundamentals class, I was at Sheridan College, one of THE art/animation schools in Canada; but my painting grades weren't up to par (teacher actually suggested I go into retail managament. D<), and all the animation courses I could find required university-level high school credit (which I didn't have). So, a switch was in order, and I wound up taking Graphic Design back home at Canadore College for 3 years. If working in the moveis is what you really wanna do, then go for it. biggrin But GD might surprise you too. EDIT: PEACOCK ITEM, DO WANT!

Well, needless to say, most of us need more than a few unique skills under our belt nowadays, especially with the economy the way it is right now. Besides, I see myself working for a comic book company like Marvel or maybe even Dark Horse or Vertigo, long, long before I work with the movies. I never expected to start out big, so I'mna bullshit my way to the top. razz
Bullshitting meaning starting out small and using comedy and epic traits I've inherited from my dad to work my way up the artists' food chain.
Speaking of comics, I recommend you all to read at least one issue or even a few pages of Deadpool next time you're in the store that sells comics. If you spot an issue, thumb through it just for his dialogue. He's ******** hilarious.
....that and he's definitely humpable for just about any fangirl. (he's a semi-horny b*****d razz .. or perverted.. he wants chicks.. he made out with freaking Death and Death in his comics was depicted as a woman.. A SKELETON WITH TITS, WTF)
