I like the character of the little girl with the black hair and the stuffed unicorn, but she reminded me so much of Boo from Monster Inc. Like all animated kids movies it followed the idea of someone transforming from a cold hearted person into a caring person and in the case of this movie from a cold hearted villain into a caring father.

The character models were good and the animation was very fluid. I suggest anyone who is reading this to go see it.

Also as from my previous rants about things that displeased me those are going to be removed from the site. There are to many people out their spreading to much hate as it is and I don’t want to become them

For I am graphic assistant by day and game developer by night RAWR.
I learn more about business politics each day, stress and anquishsness tend to make people overly serious and closes doors for new ideas. I am far from perfect when it comes to many things and I have my moments of motovational weakness, but I make it my goal to keep an open mind.

For most of you who don’t already know I am the CEO of Shadow Keep Studios,LLC, my company specializes in creating games that appeal to many different types of gamers. We also offer other web based services that are not promoted on our site, mind you everything we do is legal.

My main portfolio page should be up and runing again soon, most my traffic that comes to the blog is promoted by google search I thank you all for coming to visit also spam is not appreciated, also I am not selling shoes that’s for you italian visitors.

Should have a new update tomorrow stay tuned

Everytime it seems that one bill is lowered just enough to rest easy something rises freom the depths to take its place.

In our society car insurance is the biggest rip off, its suppose to be their incase of an accident but really doesn’t do much for you when your not in an acident for months, its not like they give you money back for not getting in an accident its actually the opposite in the sense that because I live in a certain area I get higher rates because of scam artists, why am I being punished for paying my insurance and following the law.

I am going to try and stay positive, put if zombie apoc comes tomorrow don’t expect me to come and save any of my neighbors if you zombie or you are just a douche prepare to get lobo’d

This weekend, I will be attempting to upload some new stuff I have been working on and some new information on a project that I will soon be underway.

]]> http://blog.joestivala.com/?feed=rss2&p=127 0 New Update…I suppose http://blog.joestivala.com/?p=124 http://blog.joestivala.com/?p=124#comments Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:44:16 +0000 Joe http://blog.joestivala.com/?p=124 Well it’s pretty much a month and half into my married life.  All is good, I enjoy being married.  Well the reason for this update is that over the next couple of weeks or so, I plan on getting all of works in progress finished.  What this means is that I am pretty much going to cut my gaming time in half or down to 1/4 of it’s normal time steal.

My next post is going to be an indication of all my artist works that I have in mind for finishing.

I don’t know if anyone actually reads these posts I make but if you do thank you.

Joe

This cough has got to go it’s driving me crazy.

Should be able to get it fixed up starting November first and hopefully be settled by Thanksgiving or before our wedding in December. So apparently Ikea is gonna be my new friend for awhile and hopefully I will be back in the green with cash sometime next year.

I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do, but I decide that I want to become a teacher. Not entirely sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling but I am researching and hopefully I will be on that path soon. I currently have a B.F.A. so with any luck I wont need that much extra schooling but if I do then it’s a challenge I am willing to take.

Also I am not sure if anyone has checked out my recent Youtube video’s; they are ramblings but they show that I am making progress in my mini projects.

Over the next month or so I am going to be trying to update my design for this website. The cartoon version is cool but I want go with something a little more contemporary and show that cartoon stuff is not my one trick pony.
