once i get started thinking i get a lot of ideas all at once so i'm going to put some of them down here so i don't forget.
since i want to do superheroes research the publishers, as well as the distributors. see if you can interview people in the industry, make connections. possibly split the website in half, half on the heroes half on the comics and distributing and Conventions and so on. don't forget about the conventions. see what smaller publishers have to say verses the big guys.
on another note,
what does it take to make a hero: part of the site on the process, initial sketches, ideas, all that.
Plan things out then decide on how to do it. don't pull punches. this is big make it fantastic. don't settle for anything less.

reserch
considering all my Senior project ideas have to do with super heroes I've been reading a lot of hero comics and watching a lot of hero shows.
I love research.
OK so what i've been watching so far is:
batman the animated series
Batman the brave and the bold
Ben 10
justice League
reading original green lantern comics
Others on my list are:
superman the animated series
superman doomsday
Green lantern first flight
Teen Titans
unbreakable
there are some others but they aren't coming to mind at the moment.

i had an idea a while back and i've been toying with it ever since

Senior project
i've been thinking off and on about what i should do for my senior project and though i still don't really know what i want to do i thought i should post some of my ideas.
#1: an idea i came up with a while back was to create an obstical course for the YHA. there would be different obstacles that could be put in different orders. i would have different animations for each hero, and for each obstacle. the trick would be to get them to play one after the other so it looks like one unit, and having the order change depending on what obstacle is up. the thing about that would be the time to do all the animations, and the fact that it would be almost all in flash.
#2: then i got this image into my head. it's the interior of an elevator and there's a panel that asks for authorization, a name and password. i like how that would work for the CS side. that led me to remember a scene from Myst where you're in an elevator and the whole thing with looking for keys and all that. that worked. i think i could make something like that only in the YH tower. that would be more CSish, more programing at least. i could even build some of it in Maya. as well as use flash and photoshop.
right now the YHA is what i'm working on and i think i could use them in the project since they will probably still be interesting to me next winter. more on them later.

talk about stuff
Finals are over. YAY
i am free of class for the summer.
on another note i've been writing a lot recently. i created a new character named Any Vimes. she's a reporter and she's been having fun interviewing people and chasing down leads. all good fun. Will has been busy opening a restaurant. It's called The Glen. then there are Iris and James who have entered another contest on my behalf.
then there's the fact that i'll be leaving for San Fransisco tomorrow. just one night but with six of us it will be fun. after that there's moving back to Eugene, figuring out my senior project, getting a job.

mornings....
why anyone would even think of scheduling anything at 7:30 in the morning let alone a final test is beyond me. of course i didn't get any sleep, so i'm at yet another disadvantage. it's not even a good thing that i still have the rest of the day because i'm going to be exhausted through all of it.
the only good thing to come out of it is the fact that Dylan one of my heroes started talking to me. I've now got a fairly good idea of her character and since i didn't even know if she was a girl or a boy before now that is big. then i decided to come into the lab and draw some rather them go home since i still don't have Photoshop on my home computer after the big melt down. <> i ended up inking Adam's picture. there were some changes that needed to be made to one of his legs but i think i fixed that problem. His picture will probubly end up being very diferent from Ben's.
