First things first —
… no, I can’t start out like that. Even 8 years after Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy”, I still can’t say “first things first” without following it immediately with “I’m the realest.” So let’s start over.
Hello, everybody! It’s another Friday, where I’m writing to you on a wonderful Friday afternoon as I listen to the godawful cacophony of my neighbor’s kids coming home. From the sounds of it, she has seventy-three of them, and they’re all wearing novelty clown shoes filled with lead. She also likes to scream at them while they’re outside the building and she’s still inside.
Bitter? No, no, not me, no.
But as for Mythos, as I was saying: first things first, I’m the realest.
Fuck.
As you can see, my mind is all over the place, which is very fitting because my work on Mythos this week has likewise been all over the place. I’m not going to update the percentages this week, because I just don’t know how to numerically quantify what I’ve been doing. It’s all been work in Daz: Setting up scenes for rendering, doing a few “establishing shots”, and doing some minor changes to the models — like giving Sophia a new hairstyle. The hair she originally had was a pain to work with, so she’s been updated. I’m still keeping an eye out for a new hair for Tara, but that’s considerably harder; Tara’s hair seems to be so much a part of her character that it’ll be tough to find something with that same vibe.
As I’ve been doing all render/art this week, I can have things going to watch while I work (when writing, I need total silence). This resulted in me watching murder mystery comedies to stay “in the mood”. First, obviously, I rewatched my favourite movie ever (Clue). Then I watched “Murder By Death”, which is hilarious, but… it was definitely made in a different time. Though Sir Alec Guiness in a comedic role was so great!
Then I started to watch “Only Murders in the Building”. Holy hell, this show is so good. It has some of the vibe I’m going for in Mythos, where you really don’t fully know who to trust. I won’t say any more, because I highly recommend watching it yourself, if you have the time.
