Logogogogo

I really can't decide on a good color scheme or texture for this Geoweasel logo. The simple red to orange gradient seems plain, but everything else I try is even more boring, or way over the top. Input is appreciated, because I'm terrible with decision making.

A good, clean fite


Nite Fite, Dan Meth's new spinoff series from The Meth Minute 39, premieres today, if you haven't already heard me screaming this from one end of the internet to the other. They have three brand new episodes, one of which I was lucky enough to see at the screening back in June. But seriously, stop wasting your time here. Get out there and FITE!

Tumblring down!


I finally went and got a Tumblr page. That doesn't mean I'll stop using this, because I'll probably embed the Tumblr onto the main Geoweasel site when I fix it all up and use it for updates and stuff, while this will contain actual production work and quasi-personal stuff still.
Check it out here.

Geek at work

For some reason, for the past couple of days, I've wanted to put together a time-lapse video of me working on Geoweasel set to the battle music from Mario Kart Double Dash as like...a promotion or teaser for new episodes coming (yes, I actually have been working). Even though I have a camera, I have no way of uploading video to any of my computers because the camera is somewhat outdated. Oh, and I have no idea how to do time-lapse anyway. Just one of those side ideas I'll probably never do.

Upon closer inspection of that picture...I need to friggin' shave.

Old comics



I've been trying to salvage some stuff off of my old computer because it's likely to kick the bucket sooner or later, but I found these two comic strips that predate the original Geoweasel pilot. It was based more on my personal life, replacing the people with the characters from the cartoon. They were part of a blog and the strips were going to run alongside the animated series, but that obviously never happened. Probably for the better anyway.
And then there was this...


...which is really never going to happen. But hey, at least I got to make use of that image on the old test DVD.

Pictures out the wazoo


Just for the record, my Flickr account has sort of been revived. Even though I mainly use it for image hosting when I don't want to link from my own site, there is some other unseen stuff on there that I felt didn't really lend itself to DeviantArt or being blogged about here. I thought maybe one or two people might...care.

...what the hell's a "wazoo"?

Goals

So I've been mulling over a lot of different ideas for Geoweasel cartoons and some are starting to actually...turn into stuff worth making. Most upcoming episodes will be more spontaneous in the writing section, basically meaning it's not an idea I've had for a long-ass time that's gotten stale. I just need to put up some stuff. I don't like to promise or predict things because they never come true, but I'm hoping we'll see a new cartoon within this next week.
Additionally, I've really been wanting to revamp the site to something more HTML-based rather than all Flash menus and stuff. This is mainly to make updating easier. I'm not really an HTML wizard, though. I know a good amount of stuff, but probably not enough to make the site look spiffy without Flash. So who knows what'll happen there.
And finally, I'd like to have the first DVD completed by the end of this month. Or before I go on vacation (which is somewhere around August 9). Even if it's just a prototype, I really want to get that going, so then by the time I come back, it'll be on sale (if not before then). That's more than enough time to put it together, really. The stuff that takes the most time is really troubleshooting with converting the Flash files. As far as DVD material goes, it will obviously have special features such as never-before-seen episodes, deleted scenes, unfinished episodes (such as The Janitizer and some others most people haven't seen), and commentaries (probably audio commentaries, unless that proves to be too difficult or boring to pull off with just one person. If that's the case, there will be separate commentaries with me). I would also like to put on some other kinds of features, such as behind the scenes stuff and whatnot, but I don't really know what to put. So if anyone has any ideas or requests of extras they'd like to see on the DVD, I'm open for suggestions.
