Wow. Joomla! sucks. It’s very, very, very, very complicated to use, and for what it puts out, it’s certainly not worth the effort I had put into it a few months back. (It was so much trouble I decided against writing in the blog instead of dealing with it.)
Fortunately, getting content out of Joomla! is a lot easier than getting it in, so I’m already moving things back to trusty ol’ WordPress. The main site will be powered by Silverstripe, a very simple content system for what I need. And, for once, I can use a similar template on both the blog and the main site.

After battling some more writer’s block over the past couple of weeks, I’ve finally been able to wrap up the story and get the first drafts done of the scripts. I’m planning to take a couple of weeks off from writing so I can look at the scripts with fresh eyes, but in the meantime, it’s time to get to the business of preparing to animate this puppy.
I’ve made some pretty good progress on getting two of the supporting characters done, and I’ve redone the protagonist – twice – since I made the first trailer. The first two versions were pretty ugly, and the new one has promise – except for the fact the only hairstyle I have for him right now makes him TotallyLookLike Perez Hilton:
Time for another go-around. (Part of the reason is actually because I’m switching 3-D software. Poser has been acting funny on my Mac, and DAZ|Studio works well. Plus, it has a free version. (I’ll probably upgrade before long, but the free version works pretty darn well.)

I just received the first “Emptiness” T-shirt to be printed:
Overall, I’m pretty happy, although being the nervous Nellie I am, I’m considering re-uploading the image with black behind the color so you don’t get the white fringe on the inside. (The white lines on the outside are intentional.)
It’s still for sale at Zazzle. Read More

Writer’s block is still hounding me, so I figured I’d turn to graphic design and finish the main character’s T-shirt. It’ll look mostly like this shirt, which I’m selling on Zazzle:
