epic fail?

Hey folks!

I have no clue if this mario automata is going to be an epic fail or not, but I'm trying my best to get it working, so no updates right now except that It's aaaaaaaaalmost done! bear with me as I'm going to have a busy rest of the week so I hope to have 2, count em 2 mario papercrafts ready for monday's post! Maybe even a little supporting enemy model as well if I have time!

Stay tuned!

Itsa Me, Zombie_slag!

Hey folks!


So I may be headed for my very first Epic Fail at papercraft! I've been working on a Mario automata all weekend and just can't seem to get it right. I've got tons of pics and vids but I don't want to upload them until its finished, which should be by the Wednesday post.

I don't know how its going to turn out, but I'm doing my best to salvage what seems like an impossible situation I've gotten myself into. I don't know where I went wrong, or if this model is just really that complicated (doesn't seem to be the case) but either way I'm gunna see it through to the potentially and most likely bitter end hahaha.

So stay tuned to see how it goes!

It's called feeling, play with it!!

Hey folks!

I know this is mainly a papercraft forum, but as a musician I gotta say, you need to check this dude out. I know its been a while since his last album dropped, but if you like music, ANY music, just watch the videos then go to www.ronaldjenkees.com  and buy his albums. I swear if I had HALF of this dudes talent I'd be worldwide by now!!

Anyways, what brought this back to my attention is a video i ran across while watching Jenkee's material, which I've posted here. I'm no rap fan by any means, usually I'm a funk\metal classic rock dude, but when awesome beats meet flawless flow and tie together with melodies magnificent, well, that just transcends genre and becomes something I like to call the language of the soul. MUSIC.

 So if you have any taste whatsoever, watch the following 2 videos, one is a the original track by Ronald Jenkees, the second is a dude rapping over one of RJ's tracks. Then go to http://www.youtube.com/user/ronaldjenkees , SUBSCRIBE and tell him http://www.youtube.com/user/Zombieslag sent you there. You won't be sorry. Oh, and listen to everything else on RJ's channel. PEACE!

BOO! Made you look!

Hey folks!

Well I got that Boo model done but it wasn't as easy as it looked! Of course Vodka and Zero Carb Rockstar may have impeded my skills. Its a 3 piece model, the body and 2 arms, all printed on one sheet of paper. I would recommend regular 20# printer paper for this one as you will be doing a lot of bending instead of folding.

I had a great time making it so here's a vid (like the vivi one) of the process. Its short of course because the model is simple. Its set to the Luigi's Mansion theme from Mario Kart DS simply because I liked the song, and its what came up when I went to upload the Luigi's Mansion GCN game theme lol.

I took a 360 view vid as well so you can see his little tail and his arms better.

If you would like to do this model, simply head over HERE and get it, its free! Make sure to pay attention to the instructions for the arms, as they aren't as simple as they look if you try to do them without the instructions.

ITS ALIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!

Hey folks!
 
Well the ink arrived today and my printer is once again alive! I am currently printing a 27 page automata project similar to the heart featured in the video a few posts ago. This one is a plain white cube made of gears that rotates every which way! I'm going to build it, then decorate it, most likely with watercolors.

The gearcube is going to be a long-term project, and a difficult one I think. Here's a pic of the pages, as you can see, the cut\fold lines are so light they are invisible on photo, and not much better in person. I think this model was designed this way so it would be a nice, clean model, but screw that I'm gunna paint it once its done anyways lol.

  I'm on a printing spree that way I don't run out of models to build even after I run out of ink!! I am currently also out of my cardstock, but that will be getting bought soon, so for now I'm only printing models I think will work well with standard printer paper. I think the Gear Cube would be a bit too heavy and difficult to do all the precision folds if i used cardstock.

I have a Boo (from mario bro's) finished that I'll post up wednesday, so come back for that one!

New PC and ink is almost here!!

SQUEEEE! Hey folks!

As I said in my last post, I've ordered new ink for my printer, and its almost here!! Its about 165 miles away in a USPS truck right now, so I should (IhopeIhopeIhope) be receiving it on monday!! I can't wait to start all the new papercraft models I've been waiting for!

There's also something new to me, I don't remember if I've posted about it before, but its called Automata. Now, Automata is still papercraft, but infinitely more complex and, IMO, awesome in a whole new way. Automata is papercraft that MOVES!! Here's a magnificent example:

I don't know if I'll be able to make anything close to that, but I'm going to try! In addition to Automata I'll be working on several Mario pieces (as I said before) and a few random models, including one I won in a contest over at www.paperkraft.net!

Also my brother is building me a new PC out of his old parts and a case\psu I shipped to him. Thanks Erl!

In addition to all that, I told you I'd be keeping you up to date on the whole low carb thing, well, I've lost 10 lbs! I'm going strong on the "meat and cheese" plan lol. I'll post details in a future blog.

Seeya!

Hey Hey Hey! It's Fat Zombie_slag!

Hey folks!

I've been fairly busy with life lately, got my Class A CDL with all my endorsements, that means I can legally drive a rig with any trailer (or two!) behind it. So watch out, that tanker full of jet fuel next to you on the highway may very well be yours truly!

Not actually me.

Got a lot of other stuff going on as well. For those of you who read this blog for the Papercraft side of things, well bad news, I'm waiting on my printer ink to be shipped to me. HP  56+57 ink is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too expensive! almost 60$ at wal-mart!! So I ended up paying around 20$ for it on ebay and waiting forever for it to ship. BUT! As soon as I get it I'll be working on my next model, which is a toss up between a few Super Mario Bro's characters. (I've got a feeling it will be Mario lol).

The biggest news is that I'm getting smaller! For now anyways lol. Being 5'11" and 250lbs isn't healthy. This has been brought to my attention plenty of times, but I've finally done something about it. Starting March first I went on a low carb diet and started an exercise regimen! So far I;ve lost 5 lbs (according to my messed up bathroom scale) but my goal is to get to, or under, 200lbs. At the rate I'm going I'll be a svelt 200lbs in only 60 days. I really don't see that happening but my goal is 10 lbs of weight loss each month on average.

Just to give you all a reference, here's me at about 15ish:

Im the skinny dude on the right

Here is me a few months ago after a 20 minute jog, at 27:

Get in mah BELLY!

As you can see, its about time I drop the tireshop around teh middle. So you'll be seeing the progress here. Hopefully. I hope there's progress to post. Yeah.

See you next time!
