Rene Shible wrote a new blog post: A Chronicle of Aspiration – Resolutions   7 months, 2 weeks ago

This is absolutely the final Christmas season that I spend working retail. I refuse to be stuck for another year in this soul-sucking limbo between my financial and my creative obligations. I need to devote time to making a profit doing the work that is real and meaningful to me.

Errant thought. Deep truth.

I didn’t have internet for the past couple of days

It’s not like I don’t like responding to people!

=D

See you at the Sketch Session!

Rene Shible wrote a new blog post: A Chronicle of Aspiration – Venice & Miscellania   9 months, 1 week ago

My most notable flaw, as an audience(singular), is my susceptibility to a certain kind of hero(ine). I identify so aggressively with this character that their fundamentally fictional status loses any of its liberating relevance – to put it into more coherent words, the suspension of disbelief is sustained outside of the fiction and I might [...]

*Phew*

It’s so pleasing to see that things are moving.

When I haven’t posted in a while, I start thinking about all these things I want to talk about during my next post. The problem with that is after I think those thoughts and the moment passes, I forget what I had to say! I’m definitely the [...]

Did you shade that with watercolours then? Enjoy the wedding, Aaron Ong – drink plenty, be merry. Go make it with a bridesmaid or something.

A to the Ong. That’s an incredible use of tones! This is absolutely amazing! Hey, if you want to do more work for Bijoux Red, just let me know – I can think of at least one other background that we could use your unique skill for. ^ ^

Rene Shible commented on the blog post A Chronicle of Aspiration – Relief   9 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks guys. It feels weird – reaching out, wanting that support and everything – but here we are. It feels great to know people who want you to succeed. I’ll keep everyone posted on my progress!

This is very neat. Can I see the reference image sometime?

I finally found my groove on this Sound Design thing. My friends are far too kind to me, and infinitely patient. I can be a very impatient person, so I don’t really know why I deserve this. I’m grateful anyway. Thanks, Angel – like I mentioned earlier, you helped me put sound design into a [...]

I wonder if Casey knows that his response was a snide post about this site becoming a graveyard.

Rene Shible wrote a new blog post: A Chronicle of Aspiration – Sub-Failure Childishness   10 months ago

I just haven’t had the spirit to post these days. Work­ing on Sound Design, I feel like a child again. I become impa­tient and lose steam quickly. Brief moments of suc­cess and excite­ment give way to con­fu­sion and frus­tra­tion. I’ve been hounded by a sin­gle thought, inces­santly. If I give up now and find someone […]

Rene Shible wrote a new blog post: A Chronicle of Aspiration – Seminal   10 months, 1 week ago

Today was work, and today was games. And a lit­tle bit of finan­cial gain. This is my post, and the week­end lies in front of me like fer­tile soil. Bear­ing that I get enough sleep.

There’s a way to make this all work out. How does that go again? I’ll have to sit and think about […]

When I steal a glance at this image, I look away just as sud­denly. I’m left with the sin­cere impres­sion of a few well-thought out shots and a gen­eral flow. I don’t want to look at this too much. My mind is primed for your fin­ished piece.

Rene Shible wrote a new blog post: A Chronicle of Asparation – Business   10 months, 1 week ago

Busi­ness as usual — closed the store tonight, open­ing the store tomor­row. I’m using the rest of the night to fin­ish up some fea­tures for the tuto­r­ial. Once those are done, that should be it for pro­gram­ming, unless we find some new bugs, and then I can focus on addi­tional asset-wise fea­tures for the tutorial […]

Rene Shible commented on the blog post A Chronicle of Aspiration – Fajitas   10 months, 1 week ago

Like most deli­cious His­panic foods, faji­tas are sim­ply a case of com­bin­ing dishes that already exist inside/on-top of another dish, cre­at­ing an aus­pi­cious party of flavour. 

Thanks for the ‘Anniver­sary Wishes’ — I hadn’t even noticed that about our own blog! Seems pretty impor­tant… sort of milestone-ish. I’ll make a note to appre­ci­ate this later. […]

Rene Shible wrote a new blog post: A Chronicle of Aspiration – Fajitas   10 months, 1 week ago

We had faji­tas for din­ner tonight. Delicious.

I was think­ing about post­ing this later today — after some much needed sleep — but I fig­ured, ‘what the hey’, I may as well go ahead and post this now.

I’ve spent more or less all day mak­ing the tuto­r­ial more usable. Aside from mul­ti­ple other small changes, the […]

Rene Shible commented on the blog post A Chronicle of Aspiration – Habit   10 months, 1 week ago

Yeah, it’s like I men­tioned before — I put it together in that way because it was some­thing that I could do on the spot… I tend to keep track of things on paper myself. I have a hard time some­times trans­lat­ing that over onto a com­puter. I’ll really have to design a cos­tume checklist […]

I know that your work-time focus group redi­rected you toward the more pri­mal fourth edi­tion yeti-man, but I think num­ber three, despite the very ‘humanoid pos­ture’, looks to me like Casey Palmer’s YETI, you know? That one has so much char­ac­ter, and so much life. Num­ber four looks like you made a con­ces­sion that you’re […]

Rene Shible commented on the blog post Crazy Dude   10 months, 1 week ago

I really like this guy ‘Crazy Dude’ — he’s got so much char­ac­ter, like the anti-hero dark horse of an obscure anime. What’s his name? Is it Crazy Dude?

Rene Shible wrote a new blog post: A Chronicle of Aspiration – Habit   10 months, 1 week ago

In con­ver­sa­tion with Terry this week­end, I related to him my expe­ri­ences with this blog and how it’s affected so far the way that I think and the way I work. It’s worth not­ing, maybe, that there has been an affect, despite doing this for only a short time. Which I find inter­est­ing. What I […]

Rene Shible wrote a new blog post: A Chronicle of Aspiration – Weekends   10 months, 1 week ago

I find it hard to post con­sis­tently over the week­ends, espe­cially because the work­ing and wak­ing hours become so eclec­tic that I lose track of when one day ends and the other begins. I’ll need to find a solu­tion for this, because I don’t want to start mak­ing excep­tions to rules like “only post once […]

Rene Shible wrote a new blog post: A Chronicle of Aspiration – Allocation   10 months, 2 weeks ago

I don’t have much time to throw up a post tonight, so I’ll be brief. I got back from work late, as is expected dur­ing a tumul­tuous clos­ing shift at the store. I’ve got to open tomor­row as well, so I really only had a few hours to work on that back­ground — which has […]
