Ask Stalkerloo

Among the Sleep

Among the Sleep is a first person horror adventure, in which you play a two year old child.

Hey all. I usually don’t do things like this, but I figured I’d plug this. It’s an awesome concept, and funding is at 90% with 4 days to go. Get in while you can! I’m really looking forward to it. X3

Making a few changes before I can come back...

Sat, 11 May 2013 18:10:50 -0500

Hey all! It’s been a while. I’ve been busy with schoolwork and my regular work, so I haven’t been able to update in a very long time. I’m heading to the doctor in 5 days to get an EMG done for my carpal tunnel, and after that’s done, they should give me a cortisone shot. After then, I might be able to get time to draw. Things have been very, very busy this past year, and it has been things that can’t be avoided.

Additionally, I’d like to remove the “Ask” from AskStalkerloo. I haven’t been treating it like an ask blog from the start. It’s a narrative-driven blog, here to tell a single story then be finished. Afterwards, I’m moving back to my regular comic work. As it is, any sort of questions submitted to the ask box not pertaining directly to the storyline will be deleted. It will also be closed until I need questions to help drive the blog forward. Unfortunately, the tumblr “stalkerloo.tumblr-” is already taken, so I’m kinda out of luck there, so I’ll just continue it on this one.

I may be able to crank out an update after I get the shot in my arm, but until then it’s too painful to draw much, and what I can draw is being done to put food on the table, since we’re hurting for cash right now. We’ll be okay, though.

See you guys in a week, maybe!

Modblog? Sorry but i am on mobile so i cant see the link if any

Sure, it’s at http://aphexangel.tumblr.com

What length are you thinking of for the music? How many pieces? Setting for which it'll be used (more specific, not just "wedding")?

Wed, 06 Mar 2013 05:48:01 -0600

Ceremonial music. I can’t give you a precise number of songs we’ll need, because I’m not sure how they’ll all mix yet. Setting? Wedding at a small church.

I have yet to determine the length we’ll need of each song because we haven’t been able to do a run-through of the ceremony yet, I don’t know how fast people will move, the cadence of the minister’s speech or other variables. Those are things we’ll be finding out the day before the ceremony.

Because of those issues, I’m looking for a large sample set to work with, to be fine-tuned and tweaked as things are figured out. And no, a rehearsal hasn’t been possible and won’t be possible until the day before because we’re bringing a lot of people in from different states and we’re already straining our budget to breaking.

were did your artwork go

I’ve been busy with college, planning a wedding, and work. I haven’t really had time for drawing things for fun, only for classes, and it’s really very, very frustrating.

I’ll likely start drawing again after the wedding is over and I’ve had time to catch up with current classwork - I’m pretty behind as it is. Right now, real life takes priority over a pony blog, I’m afraid.

Need piano music? Look up ponyvisation on youtube. Great piano player, beautiful music. He'd be perfect.

We’re not exactly looking for pony music, unfortunately.

How will you look like as an adult station

Thank you everypony for one year on this New Year!

Sorry for this quick, sloppy one hour sketch. The real one year blog update is still in the works. Even though I am doing simple South Park style animation it is still taking a long time to draw and animated 100 ponies to When Can I See You Again. Still busy with school and finding a way to pay my $10,000 tuition debt, but I hope to finish the animation soon. It has been a fun (and interesting) one year, first time I have really been this involved with a fandom. I have meet so many awesome people on Tumblrpon and Skype, and hope to meet most of you when you come visit Baltimare (party at my place) for BronyCon.

Since it is by coincidence this blog’s anniversary and Chinese New Year fell on the same day I thought I this quick sketch would make up for the late animation. Every new year my family would get one of these red, gold plated picture thingies, so here is one with all my favorite Tumblr folk. All of you are awesome, sorry if you don’t see your pony on here, they will most likely be in the finished animation.

Anyways, thanks for following this silly blog about a chocolate statue. :P

Ridddler: Mwahahaha! Finally, the Riddler’s goal of being a perfect golden Riddler is realized!

BatMod: Congrats for your blog’s anniversary! And good luck dude, Chocolate Pony all the way across the sky!

Congratulations on the one-year anniversary! Here’s to as many more as you enjoy doing. X3

Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:13:51 -0600

If I told you, you might guess something. X3

You’ll have to wait until the press release. :P

Good to see you're still around, Stalky. I love your work.

Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:12:35 -0600

Yeah, still around, just a bit busy with college and work. That and I’m sending my tablet in for repairs soon, and getting ready to get married… and getting a new apartment… Life’s a bit hectic at the moment, too hectic for updates. X3

NDA's?

Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:06:23 -0600

AphexAngel: Informative post on how Tumblr works!:

aphexangel:

There is no true “Anonymous ask.” If you look at Tumblr’s privacy policy, all anonymous questions are logged along with the ip and mac address of the users asking them.

While you may be anonymous to the person you’re asking the question to, you’re not anonymous to tumblr admins. If you should find yourself being abused by people using anon questions, please screencap them or get a permalink to the material they’re submitting (it also works for that too) and email them to abuse@tumblr.com

So if you’ve got trolls, if you’re having people harass you, just screencap and email it to abuse@tumblr.com. Don’t just ignore it. Put a stop to it.

I'd like to comment on the color-blindedness with a short testimony. I am tone-deaf, but I played French Horn. That requires a lot of tone hearing and adaptation to pitch based on individual notes. I compensated by memorizing hand placements and constant tuning and became fairly competent. Point is, many traits can be overcome (Beethoven's deafness the classic example), and you have done exceptionally well with your visual handicap. Also, your art is good. Take care!

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 01:26:06 -0600

Hehe, thank you very much! It just proves that if you want it and you don’t let anything stop you, anything you want is within your reach.

how did this all start?

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 19:43:57 -0600

The whole DJ thing or the whole school thing?

School started because I decided I was going to get a design degree… Thaaat’s pretty much all that’s behind that.

The whole DJ thing - I’ve had a fascination with Djing ever since I played Jet Set Radio. I think it’s because of that I decided one year that I’d do my very first cosplay at AnimeFest. I had decided I’d go as Dj-Pon3, and figured that I’d do something silly and get real turntables and a real audio system to go along with the costume. I picked up a set of Numark Mixtrack turntables and gave mixing a shot while I was a the con.

It went over horribly. I decided that I’d never cosplay again, but I still had the turntables, so I started fiddling around with them for fun. I did that a lot, then started doing sets online on livestream. Eventually, I lost that account because I got reported for streaming films, so I had to make a new unverified account. I decided I’d do a big set on Halloween, so I figured, hey, I can only have 50 people in here at most, and there’ll be more than that at the halloween event. I started looking around, and a DJ friend of mine suggested I try mixify, since it didn’t have a listener cap and I could do direct audio streams there.

Little did I know that there was a DJ competition going on. Seriously. I had no idea. I was just there for the lack of a listener cap. Turns out that I drew more people in one day than most could draw in that full week it was going on, and I was absolutely shocked to receive an email stating that I had won a spot in a concert that Mixify was hosting with some pretty big names, including a lot of people I really admire and look up to. How could I refuse?

I agonized for days over the setlist and planning, then sweated bullets when the day of the concert came. I was freaking out so bad because of stagefright, and I did mess up a lot during the set, but nobody seemed to notice. I met some really awesome DJs there and got some good pointers, and I learned quite a bit from it. I do still have a lot to learn, though. X3 Either way, the set got a surprising number of good reviews, especially for a DJ nobody that no one had ever heard about. I still kinda feel undeserving that I even got the spot, but people seemed to like it, so I can’t really complain.

So, one of my friends who just moved to Hawaii began scouting for jobs and stuff, and heard through her contact network that there were club owners there that had heard of me because of the mixify set and wanted me to play for them, real gigs and the like. That’s pretty much where it is so far, but now I’m all freaking out because I’ve got so much I need to learn and I need to practice so bad and I need new tracks and to practice with those and learn beatslicing and proper turntablism and crossfader tricks aoidsjgknaskjdgjodksflm

In short, it was a silly hobby that’s sorta gone further than I ever expected it to. Kinda like my art. I don’t think I’m all that great at either, honestly, but people keep saying otherwise. They might just be patronizing me, though, since I’m partially colorblind. I can never tell. I always worry about that…

Oh god wat

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:57:12 -0600

aphexangel:

Apparently I got heard about on Mixify, and someone wants me to DJ at their club. Having my friend there look into it to see if it’s a good club or not (I dun wanna do a strip joint).

We’ll see how this plays out.

Ohgodmyhobbymightbeprofessionalsoon

If you see me do a lot of DJ streams, this is why.

That and because I’m sending in my tablet for repairs. :3

Well, and because I need to work up a setlist for my wedding and teach a friend of mine how to operate the decks (he’s not used to physical controllers). That and because teaching people to DJ is actually really fun, and so is playing music. X3

Protip : Cintiq 12WX tablets, while described as “portable” by wacom, are anything but. Put that tablet in your backpack and the pressure put on the cord will cause shorts, much like with the tablets the cintiq 12wx is based off of - the intuos 3 series.

Stalkerloo may be coming back in the next month or so, but that also depends on how much I have to do for school and work. I’ve got a particularly heavy layout class, german II and gaming exploration courses, on top of another portfolio review. I’ve got to redo about two years worth of work and make sure I pass this one, or I don’t get to progress in my degree. I’m also working on getting a job in Hawaii before I move. Real world problems: they trump drawing comics for free.

are you still alive?

Mon, 21 Jan 2013 20:06:13 -0600

I’m on a brief hiatus.

There will be an explanation as to why in the near future.

Hehe, awesommmmmmmmmme. X3 Totally done that before.
