There are things that NEVER die....

the 7th time... for the 7th time my hard drive has died, and with it, all the project files for Poncho Zombie (the official title) yet there is a glimmer of hope! The character file for the main dude survived the disaster! so the new tagline is "Some things NEVER die" and i have remade the story and created new sets and just finished a new character, starting on another!

I will start posting more often, because its like a dead monkey taped to my face whilst I work.


7 times I hadnt learned my lesson about backing up my shist (im thick)

1st time- back when the project was called Beyond the wall, everything was on a 16 gig flashdrive, and just stopped working all together

2nd time- project still was beyond the wall but was rewritten heavily, laptop dies, and along with it, BTW.

3rd time- project is rewritten, becoming less like what I had planned at the start. ANOTHER flash drive dies

4th time- more revisions, new title, file dies while being backed up (i actually chuckled with the irony)

5th time- redone, a change of style, I have no idea what happened, the Maya files just didnt want to work, may have been the douchery of a virus

6th time- SWITCH TO BLENDER!!! Rewritten, change of style, transfering to a backup, everything comes in all jacked up

7th time- rewritten, better modeling, mobile hard drive dies of sucking.

now is a new project, a new story, and new moves!! working as hard as ever, bloodying my knuckles in 3d!

COME AT ME BRO!!!

  1. Start keeping files on a cloud service or 2nd hard drive update once every week. It's a real life saver. Get yourself into a schedule of doing it alarm on your phone. Mine goes off on Sunday morning.

  2. thanks for the advice. im not very knowlegable about cloud services. do you recomend any? is the quality or speed dependant on your internet connection? i live on an indian reservation and the connectivity isnt very good so i dont know how that affects it.
