Well I completely did not expect this coming, but I recently got a bit of motivation of doing a bit with my rather undeveloped "WARMAN" series.
For those of you unaware, WARMAN was a sort of "mature" series that I wanted to do which had a more dark, gritty, and cyberpunk type of atmosphere compared to Aozora's Adventure, with humanoid robots doing battle against a race of ancient creatures that are declaring war from beneath dystopian Earth's surface.
I kicked it off in July of 2012, almost immediately after I came home from my trip upstate that year and was motivated after playing a few stuff on my grandfather's Xbox 360 to create a "dark" series of my own, separate form Aozora's Adventure, which after the completion of M-07's conceptual artwork saw little to no activity, with both M-07 and M-10 only about 3/4ths complete on the front and not on at all in the back as I've simply given up on doing the other Models as I couldn't think of designs for them apart from their heads (you can also blame me being lazy).
The current stuff in my gallery relating to WARMAN can be found in this folder.
In the hopes of getting some work done for the series, I decided to seek out designers for this project and got one as of this journal; GanacheToe's take on M-06, viewable here; which because of me being somewhat late in providing more detailed guidelines to how a WARMAN would be made, ends up taking several liberties from the standard WARMAN lore. It's a good design if I say so myself and if I ever get to drawing M-06 in my style, I can always implement changes to make the design fit the guidelines.
If you wish to view it, here's the reference sheet describing the guidelines for designing a WARMAN here. It also detailed the ideas I had for the heads/hair design of the other eight models. And no I'm not showing that with the intent on expecting myself to get free designers, I'm mostly sharing the guidelines just to give you more of an idea how their armor and such would function.
Also, happy sixth anniversary to me first joining the site. Now get ready for s*it to happen on April 1st. XC

SJB: Twelve Years Later
Boy, time does fly when you go on hiatus from art, huh? Anyways hello people of DeviantART. I wouldn't have ever imagined myself in this position but here we are. I've been using this site since 2009 and two site re-designs later many of my friends and artists that I've supported from the first few years of being on this site have either vanished into radio silence, relocated to other sites, or moved onto other, better things (or so I hope). It's honestly saddening seeing this place as a shell of its former self because the site's higher ups don't believe in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", or because they lost interest in making art. And I'll admit I'm one of those people. While there were some years where I was more generally active (Pre-2013, 2014, and 2017), other years were either posts of minor projects or WIP's and nothing really substantial. I think the whole trying to build internet cred through DeviantArt and having most of your motivation fueled by said cred, along with
Developing More Characters
Hey there. Since I got the thought of getting more characters from my endless selection of ideas developed I decided to update the character design inspiration document some more: Yup, I had to give this a bit of an overhaul since an attempt to reach out onto Twitter in the form of a tweet ended up going completely south when it attracted what felt like the wrong audience for the job. Thus I added some more details to make it more clear on what kind of content I'm looking for in character designs, art style and all. Hopefully it doesn't come off as too mean-spirited, I don't mean to brush aside so many artists but for new designs made from scratch using provided references I'd rather them closely replicate sort of what I can make, give or take a few.
A year later
Well it's 2021 and I'm still away from this site doing other things for the most part. You may recall if you've been to some of my other sites including my blog that I had a major hard drive failure on my Mac in September 2020. It completely wiped all my WIP's and it took me six months to get a replacement computer as well as a few more months to get some of the programs I commonly used. Currently the priority still lies in my Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart racers and many of them have a long ways to go so I don't feel "ready" to go back to doing standard art just yet, and even then the pandemic has been a huge de-motivator. That said I still want to start on something later in the year and my mind has been tossed between two different groups of characters since I never did any modern art of anyone in either group. There's also a few other characters I've had on the mind and wouldn't mind drawing "just for fun" even if they don't lack the highly detailed and fleshed out backstories or
Time to try and boost that roster count.
Yeah it's that time of the year again. Got some cash on hand, going to see if anyone on the internet is interested in working with me and my ideas.
