Yes, it's me, Ukko. *wave*
As some of you know, I died and desapered into the mist, and as lot people been asking be what happen to my buttimuss (and some dont realy care). I will just post all the info here, so that I dont forget anything, so here go's:
(ps: I cant type english well, the only two person I tolarate bout complaining bout my typing is Bajah and Doc )
First, I was Born, witch go's without saying...
As most of you know, after doing the EC comic for some time, I was verry much into miniature painting, and started to make a actuly nice living out of it.
But then, in October, someone offered me a job into Multimidia online art. As I am verry out of date for that kinda stuff, training was in order.
So I get hierd at a 3 days a week, minimum salary, but I get trained in Photoshop. Illustrator, Streamline, Flash, Freehand and othere stuff. but at 3 days a week, I'm gona need a second job to actuly make a living, but I'm told that in feburary, i will end up full time and with a raise. So I say "fine, I'll take the job".
Great place I was working at, we all hade the best of Mac G5, with wacom drawing tables, you know, all the highteck stuff. What sucks is that I have to take the buss and the metro to get to it, bout 1:30 of travel to go, and the 1:30 to come back. Did you know I get VERY sick when i'm on the buss? well, I do, and let me tell you, it makes me sick like h*ll.
But as time go on there, it's total chaos, the start projects, and then, when it's almost done, change projects. Get told to do something, you do it, but get to redo it all over because he change his idea... again and again and again and again .
But I deal with it, I'm still learning stuff, and i'm loving it, and i love the people I work with, so I take it like a man ands shuts up.
after X-mas, I learn that I will be staying 3 days a week till september. Freaks me out bit, but I also learn that I may get a raise, so ok, I can make things work.
Wife's paint and works so we can get food on the table, as I do nuff to pay the rent and the expences.
Everything go's well, no raise, but still, we getting slowly out the red, I'm learning Great stuff and Working verry well. and I'm proud of what I do.
But then, lucky like we are, on St-Valantine day, after I make my wife very happy with allsort of gifts and romantic stuff (you know, Chocolats, lot and lots of chocolats). We get a phone call, we have to move out for the first of Mars!!!
What the ?!?!?! You see, bout a year ago, our cheque got lost in the mail, on the 3th of that month, he call to get us into court, to have us evicted. Turns out that all the appartsments rond us are 425$, when we paying 340$ . so we whent to court a few months back, it whent VERY well, we dont how him and money and we been paying allways on time except that one time.
So, surely we will atlest get to finish our lease till july.
Boy, where we WRONG!
So, in a rush, we fond a new appartment (singing the papers today) and we moving, dont ahve much money, but luckly, famely and friends are helping out
but wait, yesterday, I tell my boss bout this, moving , rent be bigger, I have things to pay, all nice that I'm learning, but I work and produss more that anything there. So I as him if he can take me full time, or atlest give me a raise.
He's not a total bad men, we get to the agrement that he will pay the defrance in rent that I'm paying to the new one. so sweet. but then...
He tells me that in 3 months, we will see again where we at, and the in 6 months, will see if he will give me a raise or extend my hours, but in one year, he is sure he will atlest put me 5 days a week
I tell him that, I'm not looking for a part time job, and when I got hierd, That was not looking for a part time job, but A Job!
So, I'm fired.
Oh well, I still pretymuch learned what I wanted ^_^
So, back to painting for me, and the Propainshop this summer.
but wait, thats not all!
As lot of you know, befor I got this opportunity, I was planing on starthing a web comic, actuly, I hade over 15 pages done.
But the fact is, I HATE drawing comic strips, but no worrys, I fond soemthing even better ...
FLASH!!! making Flash animation/movie is my TRUE calling, I'm loving it, I'm good at it and Takes me 2 time less time that making a webpage strip!!!
MOUHAHAhahahaha
So, in my spair time, I'm doing my first DnD movie
So anyhow, all for the best
but now I have a life back, dont have to hold 3 jobs same time, I can finaly pass some time online and on Irc and doing personal projects
So, formaly: happy to be back
oh ya, I all miss the lot of you insane and mantaly unstable people
