JoSilver's News

Posted by JoSilver - June 4th, 2018


So, I've just managed to get over some terrible stomach virus that has been wrecking havoc on my insides since thrusday. I'm dehyrated as all hell, but alive and I'm back with a vengence! (as stated above.)

So basically I wanted to just layout my plans going forward, two weeks on, one week off. Basically I plan to have something ever week except for one week out of three, so basically nothing new this coming monday (June 11) but expect to see something the week after that.

Now I don't promise it will be something amazing or something big just something. Big stuff is on the way but I don't want anyone to think it will be right away this stuff takes time. And I intend to take it, no short cuts no rush.

Also I'm changing my patreon back to monthly with the message that while I plan to do more don't plan on doing any patreon exclusive content, to see may latest work be sure to check out my profile on your favorite site that I post stuff on. My patreon is just more of tip jar than anything else.

But that's not to say you'll get nothing from me, I say if you open your wallet for me I'll atleast let you know more about what I'm doing, working on, access to beta versions of stuff I'm working on. All that noise. Besically I'm letting my patreons really pick my brain.

Along with that I plan to make more frequent updats and blog posts on patreon, expect big news here, but small and big news on patreon, so if you want to know what I'm doing head over to patreon and if you want to see new content well you know where to go.

So consider supporting me on Patreon at:

https://www.patreon.com/JoSilver

 

With that said go ahead and check out the new pics I released this past two weeks, let me know what you think, what you'd like to see and all that jazz.

So yeah I've been gone for a while. Most of that time I spent mopping and not wanting to face the internet. But I wasn't doing nothing this whole time, I'm cooking up some new stuff. no news to share with you guys but know I got plans. As always.

The reason for this post is just to let yall know what's up with all that time away. Especially with I was so positve that I even made my pateron monthly... and even started one. Well you see friends I thought I could keep up. I was well on track to deliver monthly content to you guys... the problem... It was shit. This is best illustrated with my last upload.

https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/704169

I am frankly amazed I even let this go out in the condition it was in. I did work hard on it but it's bad.

You see I'm the kind of guy who will work on something for months have it be basically finished and scrap the whole goddanm thing. That flash is what happens when I don't do that. If there is a reason I don't like to talk about stuff I'm working on it's because I do this all the goddanm time. Just with the models in the flash, I've literatly been working on them for 3 years! (off and on again obviously). why so long because they were utter shit then, so I saw it as a creative dead end. But something in the back of my head said keeped going, but maybe if I did this, or stopped doing that.

When working on something more often then not I get this feeling that tells me, that looks wrong, fix it, change it and let me tell you, while working on Tales of Luka that feeling was more of a vigorus itch constatly annoying me, that looks bad, her ass looks terrible, you can see where the texture on the grass ends.

But I ignored it because I wanted to have something ready before january.

And now I find myself between a rock and hard place. I've spent some time esentially fixing it. Tweaking the models, fine tuning the shaders, lighting and poses. I am quite pleased with what I have now. Problem is I've already uploaded the goddanm thing, I can't expect people to revist a flash with limited appeal in the first place because I claim it's better now. And reuploading just feels to much like cheating for since it is the same thing just improved art. (The minor differences between A really good night and a really great night still haunt me to this day.) So if I do reupload it do I delete the old one and throw the people who actually favorited it out in the rain.

I'm sure I'll come up with a solution that works best for me and everyone else eventually but in the mean time it's the mess I put myself into by not wanting to take my time to instead fufill a monthly schedual.

If you check out my patreon I've changed it to per creation and haven't posted since. Maybe it's ridculous of me to expect to have full flash content ready each month for you guys and maintain the quality that I hope to keep. or maybe it's ridculous of me to think people wont understand if I don't have something ready every month.

Either way I don't feel comfortable asking people for money if I can't keep up. I'm not shutting down my patreon (not yet anyways) I just don't know what to do with it anymore.

 

Anyways that's enough babbling for now,

 

TLDR, Tales of Luka sucked because it was rushed and I refuse to rush anymore because it means sacrficing quality. So no more monthy Pateron or atleast untill I figure out how to make it work.

 

Let me know how you all feel about my pateron campagin, what should I do, or whether or not I should just stop the whole thing, I never want to have paywalled content of any kind so if I can't even maintain a monthly schedual I don't know how to justify it.

 

Thanks guys, enjoy the new lewds if thats your thing.

Just clearing out some stuff.


Posted by JoSilver - July 8th, 2016


To kick things of I have a new flash up today and I've kinda gone insane with this one.

Dicks From the Green Planet X

It's another gallery flash that I didn't really know what do with for a while. But overall I had alot of fun working on it, All around I haven't really done anything like it, probally won't do anything like it again either. I wanted to do something out there, ENJOY?!

On to other news, I started a Patreon page. To be honest for the longest time now I've been thinking about doing it but didn't know if I should. But I decided it would be mutally benifical, You help support my work and I get to do more without worrying about pesky things like eating this month. With any luck on day I can make this my full time job and just spend all day making non-sense for you guys.

The last thing I wanted to do is launch a Patreon without new content to offer. I hope to be able to provide a more steady stream of content but the truth is it's gonna be hard. At the moment the last thing I can do is deticate all my time to working new stuff though I try. But with your support hopefully I will be able to someday.

So if you're feeling generoius or just wanna give a little thanks go to my Patreon and pleadge whatever you'd like. You'll be my hero.

My Patreon

See you later.

If you're intrested here's a new gallery flash I just recently uploaded.

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/672180

If you're on mobile you can see the whole set here: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=55927294

It's a complete set base on the Kinkykat magazine cover I made for Madness Day. When I made it was really just suppose to be a cover of a magazine. I wanted to create a bunch of madness themed magazine covers, magazines that would appear in the madness world or atleast the idea I've been toying with for sometime now. This was the only one I managed to complete in time so I kinda of threw the other Ideas away because they weren't really that good of ideas (Assuming that the Kinkykat cover was a good Idea). Well a story idea came from it so I'd say it was worth abanoning the others. While working on it I really modeled a rather large envoirment and I wanted to try something new. I've been slowly working on the set since last Madness day, I wasn't really a main focus and I've put it on the back burner too. One thing that was incredibly challenging was simply making the two madness characters look, at least, mildly appealing with out scarificing the design. Eyes are something that I've taken for granted. For a long time I thought everything about it just looked wrong and truth be told I still feel that way.

But I feel I did everything I could make them applealing to human eyes. Personally I think that's a major part of it, how not human or even animal they are. They are things that don't exist or could not exist in our universe and that's something that's really hard to make work I think. Either way I gave it my best and Well I'll leave it to you to see how I did.

This was alot of fun to work on. I always try to do something different and I think this is as different as it comes.

 

On another note I'd like to work on a full scale Madness Animation using there characters and models and boy is that gonna be a lot of work. No plans yet, I know what I want to do but I suppose at the moment time will tell if I can do it.

 

PS: Crannapple.

First and formost, HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Last year was quite a doozy, and this year is looking to me more of the same for me. Kicking out old tenents, Contruction, School, Computer dying, Medical Problems (Not me but a family member.) To be honest I'm quite stressed out lately, Everyday it seems is some new thing I gotta deal with something first before anything else.  No rythm, no knowing what I'm gonna do that day. It's really been putting a damper on my workflow. Just a few weeks ago were my finals, I got A's alround so I'm happy and with any luck I'll graduate by sometime this year. But all that is last Year and to be honest things are getting better or atleast clearer.

For last few months I've been experimenting with Unreal Engine 4, just experimentation no real plans so far. But I want to do something do upload here but I don't quite know how to deploy a game for HTLM 5 just yet. Other then that no real news so far. I've was hoping to have had something done by now but I've been pretty overwhelmed by other things. But that doesn't mean I'm not actively working on something it's just taking a lot longer then I want it to.

I'm trying out a new system to manage my time and honestly It's been going good so far. I hope to be able to work on a couple of project at once this way and soon as I get time to work more often,

Things have been tough lately for me and I hope you have less things to worry about then me. But I'm not here to mope! Things are looking up lately too. There are so many things I want to do and with any luck I'll get a chance to.

When I have something to share, it's gonna be good and I hope to have at least a slow trickle of content this year. Soon I should have more time to myself.

So it's that time of year again when the red crimson is free to be splattered everywhere. And boy have I been buey... I DIdn't Half ass anything this year!

One thing I've want to do for a while now is bring a new take on Madness, to a look at that the Sorld, Science, Religon, Politics, Culture, Biology of the Maddness Universe. Can't say I've really done that yet, truth be told I've really yet to fully flush out anything but fully, but It's been on my mind for quite sometime now. I've prepared a set of images that sort of tell a story, sort of give a glimps in to that world, A world full of madness trying to function or maybe what counts as functional to use it simply diffrent. Either way, Gaze!

Let me know what you think, ESPECIALLY IF YOU THINK I'M A SICK FUCK!

I was hoping to have a Level for Vicera Clean-up Detail ready by now but I sorely underestemated how long it'd take me to complete it, I didn't want to have nothing this year so I stop developing the level the last week and a half or so and work on the thoes renders. By the way it was done completely in Unreal Engine 4. But VSCD Is made in UDK so sadly the level I'm making won't look quite as good but that's why I just gotta give it a good old spit shine.

These are a couple of screen shots as you can see, it's not done. almost everything is incomplete, and nothing is final. I've made models for the furnature and custom gore models for the indviual victims, one guys head is chopped of, one guys guts hanging out. All that sort of stuff.

The level is suppose to be a part of the whole thing, it's was honestly suppose to tell a story for instance there would be magazines littered about posters, the candy wrappers thrown on the ground on top of the things that were to happen in the level. Well I can porbally finish it by late october, I need to slow down and focus a bit more on my classes but as I've mentioned before my work load this semester is pretty low but I still have to study quite a bit.

Well, have fun maming and dismemebering!

There will be blood.


Posted by JoSilver - July 31st, 2015


Things have been rocky lately... Whole bunch of crap fell on my plate all at once, from Burst pipes, kicking out tenents to my computer BREAKING! (Fortunaltly it working fine now just need a replacement part,..)

On top of all that I think my graphics card is on it's last leg, my computers been blue screening and the monitors been going black for no reason. I could really use a new computer, my computer is pretty old now as far as computers go but so long as I take better care of it It and make the repairs that are required to get it back to full working order should keep chugging along for a few more years.

Sadly I don't really have anything new yet but I've been working on some stuff, I'm trying to limit time on my computer till the new part comes in.

I hope I haven't disappointed anyone but I'll try to get you guys something new soon. I've been experimenting with some stuff so Fingers crossed the worst is over for now. Classes will be starting soon but with my current sheduele I should have time to work on projects althrough out the semester. Only time will tell.
