Inception Parody Machinima

A new machinima from Kootra and ZeRoyalViking, which I contributed to, went up recently. Voiced a failed attempt at Decaprio, haha, but I always have fun with occational voice acting. And you might have seen the spinning top I did for the video in my previously posted Demoreel. Anyway, check it out, Kooters and Ze came up with an amusing senario for the parody, haha.

Inception Parody

Demo Reel!

Yes, I have been very unactive on the interwebs these days, so I though I might update here, though I wouldn't be surprised if I've lost all my followers, haha. I just uploaded an edit of my "vfx generalist" demoreel, so check it out and tell me whatcha think!

Art Commissions

Hey guys. Offering some affordable enough commissions. Normally I don't have the time to spare for such, but I am in need of the cash right now, so I thought I'd give this a try.

If you wanna look at my NG gallery, I can do a variety of material and styles, including sketches, which would be cheaper. One nice touch is that I can stream as I work on the commission on Ustream if you'd want to watch.
NewGrounds Gallery


So... I guess I can give some estimate prices, but nothing definite, depending on what exactly the commission would be, and how complex. We'd discss all of it in detail beforehand~

Basic character sketch = $2.50 / $5
Sketch

Monochrome sketch = $4 / $10 (+ color, additional $2 / $4)
B/W Sketch
Color Sketch

Colored Toon Illustration = $5 / $10
Toon Illustration

"Speedpaint" with character and environment = $15 / $45 (depending on how many hours spent to complete, and this one would be discussed extensively beforehand)
SpeedPaint

Remember, these aren't definite prices, but I hope they give you a good idea. If anyone is interested, toss me an email (lemurgimmick@hotmail.com)(or toss me a pm on youtube), and we can discuss details.

If I have any luck, I'll jot down a slot list so peeps know progress on commissions.
(on a side note, paypal is the safest and most reliable form of payment on the net, hence that's all I'll accept for the time being. Easy enough to set up as well if you don't have an account)

Well thanks for reading guys, catch you around

Updates updates

Well I haven't updated this for ages, so I think I shall finally, not that anyone reads this anymore, haha.

So anyway, Red Christmas has gone up finally, after waiting almost 6 bloody months. (and they uploaded it in Mono audio just raping the sound altogether, gee thanks M.com and your fucking watermark).

But yeah, I got an extra Reach Beta code from Jon, so I did get a chance to try it a few times. But yeah, I dunno. It is better then Halo 3 for sure, but I'm still not that stoked for it to be honest. I do like that new DMR rifle (or whatever it is called). In Cod 4 the M14 was my fav weapon (which was taken out of MW2), so it was a treat for me to have something like that in Halo. As for the perks in Reach, the only one I liked was the sprint. Jetpack is fun for 5 seconds, but then that was it for me. Used the invisibility a little bit. But as for that shield lock thing, it was just plain retarded, especially when everyone spammed it constantly.
As for Halo1 Pistol, and the medic packs that have been brought back, props to that. And that’s my verdict on the Beta, was a bit of fun, but my level of “want” for the game hasn’t changed (and mind you, not a high level of want on my end, haha).

Also accepting art commissions right now, but I’ll put that in a new journal post so I don’t flood this one up.

Anyway, peace out bros

Guess what? Machinima.com rant again

So yes, I sent them an email saying "hey, it's been like 2 months, why isn't my Christmas special video up yet?". And the reply I get back is "you never notified us about your video". Even though I litterally sent them six emails in the timeframe I uploaded the video. Just unsubscribe from those faggots if you haven't already.

Wtf is wrong with Machinima.com?

Seriously, they have not yet uploaded my "Christmas Special". And not only mine, I've heard around there's a shit tonne of videos they haven't uplaoded from directors for like the past 3 months. Why? Oh yeah, it's a must they upload 8 gameplay videos a day. For fuck sakes, who watches those if you can go play the game. If any of you waste time watching that crap, that's complete fail, so don't encourage them and don't give them views on that shit. It seems M.com cares more about views and profit, rather then effort and quality.

As I've been concluding for years, Machinima.com = fail
But alas, they are getting even more retarded, which I didn't even think possible.

As for some more cheerful news, I did a shot about a month back for a machinima, that looks like it will make it up on Halo Waypoint. So like 3 seconds of glory for me, lawl. I'll keep you updated if it does go up.

Holiday Updates *UPDATE

Mah friend Sp00n just made the best video ever, you srsly need to watch it
Link

*END OF UPDATE
Well it didn't make it for the M.com deadline, so I posted it on my channel for now. If you haven't seen it, here's a shiny little link for you

Updates

Hey guys, long time no update. Just a quicky right now. Filmed some footage today with Kootra, for an upcoming Christmas machinima. So alas, you shall see a vid out of me before the years end, haha. And that's all I have to share right now. Peace out and hope are doing great as you kick off for the Holidays.

Halo OSTD

Some people were nagging me to get it, but I've been long since turned off by the game when it was first anounced. I mean comon, when Bungie says "HO MAN, WE GOT A BIG ANOUNCEMENT" I expected, finally, a new franchise or something, but no, instead they anounce a half assed halo cash in.

Anyway, maybe if it was priced at 40$ I would have perhaps not gone as hard on it (hey, for the love of God, who charges full game retail price for a shitty expansion pack?). But alas, I'm glad I didn't get it, because even some die hard fans are saying it wasn't that great; aka major cash in, and whoever bought it fell for it like a tard. Couldn't you have like given it a rent? I don't see why people are so inclined to buying full priced games when they get bored of it after a week or two. Stop supporting fags like Microsoft so blindly, they are leaching enough off of society as it is.

Just going to save up for Modern Warfare 2, I only support real games that last me over a year of entertainment. (still gotto save up for xbl though, haha)

Brief Update

Just making a quicky to bump my last entry down the page. I'll be making my first breif appearence in jon's upcoming Arby n Chief episode. I just recorded some voice badly done Russian accent dubs for him, so vola, you will see our filming foolery at the end of the week.

And I'll be also making various voice apearences in some upcoming machinima.

And before I forget, a DA chum made me some Birthday art, lolz, so go check it out
http://pokeymon.deviantart.com/art/Soviet-Pikachu-Remastered-135503704

And thankyou for all the Birthday wishes peeps. Hope to have more exiting updates soon.

Vanishing Once Again

Yes, I'll be on a brief trip, starting Monday, for a couple of days. It kinda falls on my birthday which is pretty lame, but my past few BDays have been super lame anyway.

So yes, I've been keeping up with my one photo a day thing surprisingly, so make sure to check out my Photography DA account. As for my art account, I haven't had much time to crank out anything artsy, but hopefully I will at one point.

I'm out.

Now you see me. Now you don't.

I'm going to be scarce off the internet for like a week.
First of all, the internet is a retarded place. And second of all, I need to get lots done. And no, that doesn't include machinima; I have much more relevant things at hand. And hmmmm, I should probably find a bit of time this week to whip up some art.

After that, I'll be going off to Jon's next weekend to help him with some filming. Then we'll chill with some friends & go watch District 9, haha.

Also finished some random cg crap for the Kootra Roach collab. So look out for that stuff coming out sometime or another.

So I'll upload a weeks worth stash of photos on my DA account (to anyone who cares, lolz). And I'll be having a fun happy time without internet. You guys should try it too, perhaps then you could accomplish something productive for once in your life.

I Know the Next Best Plan to Brainwash Humanity

Giraffes. You heard me, Giraffes. I have made a theory, and I can back up my theory with proof.
Every day, I upload a photo to my Deviant Art account. and usually my photos get an average of about 20 views by the end of the day; and usually a single “Favorite” a lifetime. But today something happened. I went through my photos and selected a very bland shot I took of a Giraffe. But as soon as I upload the photo, it instantly got 7 Favorites & 17 views.

Personally I think Giraffes are very bland, silly creatures. And they might have been unique at one point, but now they are very overplayed and overrated. But are they overplayed because it is part of some devious plot? Is there something about the tall creatures which intrigues people?

Lets look at the figures. Out of the seven people who favorited the giraffe photo the very moment it was uploaded:

1 was a 30 year old male from the United Kingdom
1 was a 29 year old Male from Italy
4 were Females from the United States (various ages)

Out of the seven, that makes 57% females from the United States.
Let’s just consider the possibilities. First of all, females have a very big influence on humanity. It is not difficult for them to have a level of control over lesser minded males (yes, that means 97% of you reading this). And considering United States has a reasonably large influence on the world, I’d say a well derived plan of action here, would most likely infiltrate the minds of a large census around the world.

If you don’t believe me, just look at TV & product placement. That proves my point, considering most humans are empty shells that are quite easy to fill up with false information.
So were do the Giraffes come in? It’s simple, and might as well relate it to product placement.
Make a propaganda poster, and just place an irrelevant giraffe on it. Upload an article on the net, and place the word “Giraffe” at the end of every sentence. Broadcast a fake news report and place a giraffe in the backdrop.
Every bit of that information will seep into the sponge like minds of that percentage of people who are intrigued by giraffes; then starts the chain of influence.

It’s ingenious.

A Photo a Day to Keep the Doctor Away!

I'm quite busy these days, so no you won't see any retarded videos from me for the time being, nor will I be answering the same over asked questions on youtube (ect) over and over.

Though if you appreciate anything other then sitting on your arse watching Halo videos, playing halo, and reading halo fanfiction written by 12 year olds; then make sure to check with my photography account on Deviant Art ever couple of days. I pretty much upload a new photo every day.
I'm not exactly a professional photographer or anything, but I do very much enjoy capturing an image, to try and grasp the essence of what I see in front of me. And of course I do like to share it with people.

Link

I also upload some random art on my Art account time to time, so make sure to check with that too occationally. Well what the hell, make your own Deviant Art account and toss both my accounts a watch and catch all sorts of rad art on the site. involve in something other then Bungie.net and videogame related forums, haha.

And as you see, I guess I’ll be updating my blog more often now, haha. So do check in with it at least once a week.


Cheers

Deviant Art accounts up and running $$$

Well as I said before, someone took the name "lemurgimmick" on DA. But today I got it handed over to me. And I found out you can't delete accounts, so I'm just going to make use of the two I have right now. One for art, one for photography.
So follow the links over to my art and photography!-------------------->
And if you consider yourself a man (or a woman) then make yourself a DA account and keep up to date with my stuff on there; cause I'm going to update both of those accounts a hundred fold more often then my Youtube.

Art > Dumb Halo Vids

UpdatesNOT

The question is always "if you won a million dollars" or "1oo million dollars". But with that question, you can list off so much crap because that's a huge sum of money; making you focus more on "how much shit can I think of?" rather then "what do I prioritize?".

So... if you won $1o ooo, what would you do? Choose wisely, heh heh HEH.

Don't you just LOVE Posers?

Alrighty, so today I went over to Deviant art, something I've been meaning to do for ages, so I can share my art with you guys. So naturally I go for the name "LemurGimmick", pretty much what I use as my internet alias for pretty much everything I do on the ineternet. but guess what? Someone already snatched the name. And no, it's not mere coincidence, cause the guy has like little halo moving icons and stuff, so it's a given he's seen my work, and he just decided to be uncreative and use my name.

Like honestly, I don't want to over react, but you couldn't believe how much this is pieving me right now. When you come up with something original, and your own, then someone just snatches it with their grubby little hands

Link

Now that's the guy, lolz, and I'm going to ask him to hand over the account name. Yes, it is going to be a big inconveniance for the both of us. but hey, it's him who caused it.

Till I get that account, this is the temporary one I made, but i might not be uplaoding anything there for the time being.

Link

Well just wish me luck and hope I can manage to get the account name handed over to it's rightful owner if you guys want to be seeing my art!

And look Mister Frodo! Moar Fanart ~

I'll make this a quicky. Bit busy and hectic these days. And no, won't be seeing any machinima from me for a long time, life or much more relevant and demanding these days.

But anyway, gift art from "Benjamin-weasel". Lemur giving a high five to Ben Bunneh, lolz, great stuff. Thanks again chum!













And hmmm hmmm, what would you guys think of well made flash animations? Won't be happening for ages, but I have some in mind. Much more interesting and creative then any sort of over rated machinima in my opinion. Just an idea though, I have no idea when I'll ever get around to something like that.

Fanart, lul, and uneventful updates.

Haha, I believe this is the first fanart I've gotten from youtube/machinima fans. So here is a lemur illistration from DoubleMoonz from youtube :D Thanks much man!











Other then that, same old stuff. Just busy with life, been working on some random small projects, including that collab I have a small part in with Kootra and Roach. I believe that'll be done by the end of the month. And if you are a hardcore Halo fan, that is actually something you should be looking forward to, haha.

Other then that, You won't be seeing any solo projects from me for the time being, but hopefully I catch up with some stuff one of these days.

Hang in there peeps.

Some updates

Yo, well not much to share, plus I'm sure not many people check out my blog a whole lot, lolz.

But yes, sent some voices off to Jon yesterday night for his weekly vid. More lines then usual, haha, so it was some fun. Also sent him a SPECIAL EFFECTSS shot the other day, also for his weekly vid. Just cheesy low budget stuff, but I believe it'll show up somewhere near the end of his episode. But yes, Season finale, read the script, and it had plenty of lolz in it.

Other then that, I've been taking minor part in a colab, I believe I mentioned before. But that will probably be ready at the end of June or something. And again, I barely have part in it. My work will probably only have like 3 seconds of glory in the vid.

But yes, there we go, another rare update of epic proportions.
