Systems Going Down

:BACK:-HOME-

Uh...I don't know what's up, but I apparently can't pay my invoice (due tomorrow) for the hosting. Which means the whole site could go dead by Saturday. :P I'm gonna try and download all the stuff and see what I can do. I'm transferring my Just-Deserts.com domain to GoDaddy too since it also has "terminated" written on it in my account. Oh boy. You'll still see this page of course, its Blogger after all, but I think just about every image you see will disappear -_-

Site: Mastastealth Blog

:BACK:-HOME-:NEXT::NEXT:

Hey noob tubes, guess who made yet another blog? No, not Alpha. You know he can't spell. I was talking about me. This blog will be centered around my graphic design career, including both my school and more "professional" work. So make sure to throw that into your RSS readers. I'll probably keep that more maintained than this, at least while I'm in classes. :P I'll make sure to draw another silly strip tomorrow.

I still haven't been able to draft up anything for the upcoming Punkbuster chapter, but never fear, "Holy Week" is coming up soon so I will make myself come up with something in that free time (and will ask my violent sister to hold me accountable).

Project: Mastastealth.com



So I probably mentioned this before, but when my semester finishes, I plan on launching a freelancing site to start earning some money (so I can pay for next sesmester! X-D). Here is my current design, I'm liking the wider looking version...

Comission Sigs



First off...PLEASE READ EVERYTHING
This post will contain vital info that if you fail to read, could cause loss of intelligence, embarrassment, death, ignoringtation, etc.
-------------------------
Ok. So, a sig. I draw 550x200 sized sigs (i.e. near forum rule max. If you want a sig from me, don't expect to add quotes or many extra images :P), in a cartoony vector styling. Examples are everywhere, though you can see all of my last campaign's sigs HERE. Also, if you look around (click the chapter 10 label below) you will see my style has changed a bit (proportions and a neck mainly).
------------
IMPORTANT NOTES

1. I do not draw bloody, scary, offensive, what-nots on my sigs. Only good, clean cartoons ok? If you haven't seen it on a sig before, then I probably won't do it. Even commissioned sigs fall under this rule, I have my standards. :P

2. If you had a previous sig, I won't make you a new one unless it's more than a campaign old. Simply put, if you got one last campaign, get out of my face. ^_^ (Of course this doesn't apply if you are gonna pay for your new sig ;D)

3. IF YOU WANT YOUR SIG DONE FASTER, keep it simple. I am lazy, and don't like to draw complex and intricate little things for you, for free. So the less complex (and more detailed you are in what you want exactly) the quicker you'll probably get it. However, if you do pay, feel free to reasonably complicate your sig according to your payment amount. ;)
------------
THE FORM
You must fill your requests with THIS form, or I will ignore you. Sorry, but I gotta keep things organized.
Name:
WYW: (What you Want, be AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE.)
People In Sig: (If you/others don't have a character already, BE DESCRIPTIVE OR YOU WILL BE A GENERIC SOLDIER and that makes you less special).
Style: Old or New?
Commission Amount: How much are you blessing me with? ;)

-----------
Anyway, post your COMMISSIONED requests as a comment here. (Everyone else go the sig thread) You can use the Anonymous, or preferably "Other" option. That way, you can enter your name right away. If you don't want to pay, you'll just have to wait till requests are open. :P Thanks for your support guys!

Future

Hey guys, this is just a little post on something that I've wanted to share, or else I would just feel bad about an opportunity that I missed.

For those who didn't know, I am a Christian. I credit God to any artistic abilities I have, and thank him for everything he's done in my life. Hence, I try to use the gift for Him, or atleast let people know that He's the one who gave it to me in the first place. So you've probably noticed how my comics do not contain swearing (and how I, myself restrain from it), gore, and other such things that you may see in other comics.

Anyway, as a Christian I believe in something called the rapture...

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

This verse from the Bible is a pretty good example of what will happen. God will come down for those who lived for him. Our bodies will be made perfect, and we will be hanging out in heaven with the creator of the universe! And so, there are some things that I'd like to mention. First off, on that day, I will obviously not be able to make comics anymore. :P

Believe me, if I ever get so tired of drawing or whatever, everyone will know before it ever is closed officially. And also, if I were to go, move, or just do anything that would cause me to lose communication with everyone, I would let you know beforehand (there's a storm coming, oh look a hurricane!, comcast sucks, etc.) So, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on that. When I suddenly seem to have vanished off the face of the planet (and you will know this, because I'm sure on that day, the news will go crazy), you will know what has happened to me.

***

Secondly, I don't want to go up by myself. I'd want to see everyone in 21CW if it was possible, although I know it won't happen. How would you go? Well...do you believe in God?

By now, you're probably ready to stop (if you haven't already) reading this, and thinking I'm one of those "religious freaks" and what-not thinking "Oh, how come YOU get to go" and things like that. First off, let me say this: YOU decide whether you go to heaven or not. Got that? When God created man, he gave us a FREE WILL, we have a choice. And so obviously, one of the first steps in being ready is actually believing in God. Most probably don't, some do, some don't know. I'm not gonna go into some scientific study here but, from what I've seen, I can confidently say that I know God exists, and he's very real to me.
What else? Believing in God does not ensure your salvation. The Devil believes in God, and so do many people who are not really saved. What does "being saved" actually mean?

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." -Romans 10:9

Confess and believe. You know that no one is perfect right? But did you know, that the requirement to getting into heaven, is that you have to be (perfect)? You think, "Oh WTH! That means no one is going!". Luckily, God made a way...

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
-John 3:16

God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, as a sacrifice for your sins (sins are any actions that are immoral, whether it be telling a tiny white lie, or murder). Jesus lived, the perfect life, and was KILLED because the "religious people" of his day, didn't like him. But not only did he die, but in important part of believing in God, was that he raised Jesus from the dead! You see, my God is alive. I'm not sure how many religions believe in a dead guy as a god or something, but Jesus Christ IS ALIVE, and he's waiting for me in heaven. :) And so I go back to the previous verses. CONFESS that you believe in God, and that he raised his Son from the dead for YOU, becase you are not perfect. AND BELIEVE it! I don't know about you, but if I truely believe that God did all that for me, do you think I'm going to continue a normal life? No way! I want to live my life FOR GOD, because he made it, and saved it! And so in believing this, I do my best everyday to obey what he's asked us to do. You know the 10 commandments? Jesus pretty much summed up what a Christian should do:

"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. " -Matthew 22:37-40

Being saved is not about God restricting all your fun and having to obey hundreds of laws and such. I know a bunch of people, who don't believe in God, that think their life sucks, are depressed, this that and the other thing. Me? Sure I have my rough times too, but I have an awesome life because I know Jesus is there every step of the way with me. :) Also, I hope you've noticed that my message is not "Hey guys, be Christian so you can be saved!" No. Being a true Christian isn't about getting other people to "join your religion". Christianity shouldn't even be known as a religion (unfortunately, so many people have used the word, and now it means almost nothing). Being a Christian, is simply having this relationship with God, knowing that he created you, he wants to be your friend, and he wants you to be with him in heaven.

So there you have it. Now you know what it takes to be in heaven. If I wasn't clear enough, you can always ask me and I can try to explain it better, but I think this pretty much sums it up. So now YOU have the choice. It's not, "why can THEY go", its why YOU didn't CHOOSE to go. You can believe what I'm saying is true, and start trying to actually follow God's purpose for you, or you can just reject everything I said, and continue on with your life. If I seem to go over the top on this stuff guys, it should just show how much I actually believe it, and how much I REALLY want ALL of you to be in heaven. You're all my friends, and knowing that the time is coming, it's like if we were both blindfolded. And I got my blindfold taken off and saw that we were gonna walk off a cliff. But when I tell you about it, you don't believe me, and don't believe that there is any danger. It's hard to watch, but all I can is tell you, because if I grab you, you just resist more (like some more aggressive methods you may have seen by people, to try and get you saved).

You don't know the day you might die. Do you know where you will be after that happens? Or if we don't die, do you really want to stay for all the stuff that can happen (after the rapture, if you read Revelations, comes the tribulation, and apocalypse).

You know, I rather believe something with all my heart, have people think I'm a freak, die to find out that I was wrong, and lose nothing, then completely reject something, die, and then find out, that there was a God, and lose everything.

How To Draw!

I'll update this page everytime I make one of em slower full character drawings, so you learn to do em too! I'll try giving light gray outlines for practice, but as you will see I do each sketch in 2 parts, with the second part being my freehand, I usually have a basic outline (drawing eyes first on some characters, drawing Bubba's nose first, drawing Scope's hair first, etc.) and then the rest is usually in order, but atleast once you get the hang of it, you can draw it however you'd like.

Characters


Stealth: The protagonist of Just Deserts, Stealth is the young, 1337 knifing Super General of the Opposition army. Everyone is jealous of his rank for some reason, and he seems to have to do EVERYTHING around the Opp base...;)







Alphacod: Formerly know as Alphacode, this piggy somehow flew up to the rank of General. Ths power-hungry ham causes a great deal of stress to Stealth, but somehow me manages to keep the Opp army in good shape.







Saptiva: She is the beautiful PKM-wielding, bunny-hopper-hating, stategy planning lady of the Opposition army. She takes any chance she gets to get back at Alpha and his paddles, at the same time watching her back from Stealth knifings. There are also rumors about this secret bush that she has somewhere...






Bubba: Ol' Hillbilly Bubba is a wise hairy man who has had much experience on the battlefield. He has mysteriously disappeared from the battlefield however, and seems to roam the World of Wussies nowadays...







Casbar: Arch-enemy friend of Stealth, Casbar is one of the few people with enough skill to take Stealth out. He has to constantly watch his back though...and sides (if in a vehicle) because Stealth will always be there, whiping out his blade (or C4)!







Scope: The proud bunny-hopping rabbit boy is another one of Stealth's favorite targets. Everyone still loves him though, except Saptiva, who hates bunny-hoppers. Currently AWOL, but rumors have it that he will make a triumphant reentry into the battlefield.







Smitty: Everyone loves to TK Smitty. He is constantly being killed by all of his friends, and he loves it (^_^).









Xb385: The crazy Coal dictator guy, Xb somehow seems to get into every mess that the Opp faces. He has a strong desire to obtain Opp technologies, and always has some fiendish plans up his sleeves.







Bogey: This Golf-inept guy has become an experienced veteran over the years, and faithfully follows his Super General. And he never ever whines ever!

First Timers

New to Just Deserts? GREAT! Well...not great...but atleast you found me! Just Deserts is a lil comic originally based off Battlefield 1942, which then shifted to Battlefield 2, which then suddenly started its own wacky lil storyline. If you've played the Battlefield series, you can start reading the very early comics filled with Battlefield humor. Or if you haven't played any, you can start reading from when I gave the comic an actual storyline. Having some basic FPS game knowledge and reading about the characters would be all ya need to get through the adventure w/o scratching your head everyday. Though I apologize for some strips which contain too much inside jokes that are within my tournament (or even between me and a few people! :D). I blame you for not being cool and getting a computer to run BF2 and joining 21CW. ALSO...you might also like to look through this FAQ for more info. If you still don't get anything, then go away! :D

FAQ

Or atleast...possible FAQs...I haven't really been asked every question...but WHATEVER!

Q: How do you draw your comics?
A: I use a Wacom 3 Graphire Tablet Pad, and I mainly draw my strips straight in Flash 8. Also, I color the comics in Photoshop CS2.

Q: Where did you learn to draw?
A: Nowhere, God gave me a talent that I've just loved to use and have developed over the years. I credit any skills and abilities to retain the knowledge I have to Him, and also give credit to those artist guys on TV, online, and such that have also helped me pick up and learn new techniques.

Q:Can you teach me to draw?

A: Yea! Well no...I'm not a personal tutor, but you can head on over here to my how-to section to learn to draw the Just Deserts characters! :D


Q: Why is it called "Just Deserts"? You know you misspelled it...

A: Well, the name is a parody (click the link Marter) of the popular phrase "...Get Your Just Desserts." with the different being that instead of desserts (the ice cream, flan, yum yums) its deserts (sand, cactus, no water type) because the comic was based off of the popular Battlefield 1942 mod, Desert Combat. Despite different pronunciations, I still call the comic by "desserts" instead of "deserts"...-_-

Q: Sooo...who are all these strange people? The old orange bearded man, that piggy, that Smitty dude I have an urge to kill...
A: Those are all friends from the tournament I'm in, 21st Century Warfare (or 21CW for short). Most of the characters were taken from their sigs, some sort of symbolic characteristic they have, or even because of family relations!

Q: What the crap is a Super General?
A: It's my rank, Stealth's rank, the best rank you can have that I didn't make up...get used to it.

Q: Can I have a sig?
A: Not after that Super General question...
Actually, at the start of every campaign I start a request thread. So be ready for that. :P

Q: Fine Mr. Super General, how come some of your images don't come up?
A: Well, if you haven't noticed, I'm using many free resources to the best I can, I mean, this whole site isn't costing me anything :P I use:
Blogger: For main site hosting
Imageshack: For small image hosting (those pre-comic images you click, or the next/back buttons)

The thing is, sometimes these guys (especially MyFilehut and Imageshack) do some server upgrades or maintenance and some images become unavailable temporarily. So I have no control, especially if (for instance) Blogger goes down, then I can't even upload my comic. Now I use my Just-Deserts.com space, so big (and newer small files) should not be missing. If they are, its probably because I haven't transferred the files yet, so let me know!

Q: Fine, but what if I have more questions I want answered and you forgot to put it in this short, pitiful FAQ?
A: There's an e-button to your left :P
