I know I’ve been lazy with posting any blogs, but so much has happened the past few weeks that I couldn’t bring myself to post about each one. That aside, and more recently, my harddrive burnt out several days ago, but today I was able to get it running just long enough to make a clone of the drive and dumped the clone on a new hd So now I’m back on my awesome XP, and lovin’ it! In the meantime, I decided to put my Love Hina Epilogue onto youtube:

Part 1 | Part 2

In other news, this is my last week of work at my webdev summer job, and I’m REALLY going too miss it Tuesday I get all four of my wisdom teeth out, so I can expect a fun week off before school starts As well, I’m moving into residence late next week, so I’d better get back into the study mood. Expect rare epilogue updates for the next four months as I will be focusing and trying my best! Once those four months are up, I will resume work on part three and most likely finish well before the end of next spring. Many many other things I’d like to blog about, but too sleepy~

Today there was a big thunder storm and my internet and TV got cut off for the entire day! I just got it back a moment ago and decided to post, since there’s been so many things going on lately ^_^

First, and most obvious, the 2008 Olympics have started, which is awesome… except I couldn’t watch any of the events today :’(
I really want to see the Judo, Table Tennis, Soccer, and Badminton, so hopefully I can watch some action tomorrow xD

Second, since I had nothing to do today with no internet and all, I started work again on Love Hina Epilogue part 3!
Got a bunch of drawings done, and added some of the drawings from part 2 into the mix since they fit the story of part 3 perfectly. I don’t know if this is encouraging or discouraging, but I have 16 drawings left (where there are about 30-40 total), then dubbing, menu’s, and credits. Could take a while to get everything done; I have 1 month left until university starts again, and if I can’t finish before then, I’ll have to postpone work on it for 4 months until the term is over, since school comes first!

Finally, I made a video and a wallpaper out of boredom…

A requested AMV (Anime Music Video):

from Shakugan No Shana

The wallpaper:

from History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi (one of my favorite animes :3)

Well, I’m off to enjoy some TV, yayyy. Peace out for now,
~Dan

Finally finished and released part 2 today. You can view it here:

Enjoy everyone, and thank you for all the support =)

Now I’m gonna relax and enjoy tomorrow, since it’s a day off work xD

Did the rest of the lip syncing for the Love Hina Epilogue pt.2 tonight.

Also did some of the credits. All that is left is the preloader & menu, and the credits which I plan on making quite interesting =)

Worked extra hard today at work to get a big project done early, so now I’m all exhausted, time for bed~

Haven’t had time to blog or work on anything (including flash) recently; been doing the 13 page work report that is due tonight! Now that I am finally finish I can honestly say… I never want to think about it again =)

On another note, I’ve had lots of fun recently organizing SSBB tournaments at my site http://BrawlFriendCodes.com . We finished tournament #1 last week which was tons of fun. Videos from the tournament can be seen HERE .
Finally, for those of you who keep pestering me, NO I haven’t forgotten about finishing the Love Hina Epilogue part 2, and YES I will finish it soon. I have only a few more seconds left to sync, credits, then menus.

Lost a lot of sleep the last few nights doing various types of work, so Zzz for now n_n

Well its official, the usb which I was saving all the Epilogue work on was lost earlier this week and not returned. I was ALMOST done all the dubbing/lip-syncing too, and the latest backup of the files I have is the day I just started dubbing T_T

I will be out all of today but tomorrow I think I will sit down and dedicate the whole afternoon to redo and finish all the dubbing d(^_^)

The last few days I really haven’t done much work on the epilogue. I’ve done the dubbing for the first 1000 out of 2400 frames, but thats about it. I really needed a break, and I think I’ll relax for tomorrow as well… stayin up late and sleepin in late the last few nights but tonight my eyes seem to be closing on their own so nighty night :3

So many things happened today but I’m kinda exhausted so to summarize the most important one:

Didn’t do the one thing I had planned today which was finishing the last epilogue drawing.

Everyone was all hectic at home so I went out biking with my friend to the plaza and was so thirsty I got a 1 litre bottle of raspberry juice! SO GOOD :3

After I went swimming then made this little movie (hehe):

Tomorrow I will do the last drawing for sure (and heckle me if I don’t xD)

Excellent weather today, went swimming twice and went out for a while which was a nice break from routine work. Only 3 days of work till 2 more days off xD

Came across this kinda neat UK piano/trance song today: ♫ I’m Raving ♫

And finally, I had a request to do something like this, and remembered while I was drawing the last Naru for part 2 of the epilogue.
