DD, your work was always awesome too look at, at the other sites you and I are on together.
The reason  your work is refreshing cause it's brand new with customs no one, at least since I have been doing it, no one has done before.

thanks mando;

some of them are even harder to pull off without actual visual depiction; in many cases it takes a great many skim sessions
through the source material to find every detail. the transition to digital models has been benefitted by my time as a
customizer; and i hope to reenter the hobby as a means of creative exploration again at somepoint. (sadly photo-novel customizing
is more like work.rather than wanting to make these things, i find myself having to.)

writing work on the next three Episode's has just concluded and
can be read here:

http://unjoe.yuku.com/topic/5720/t/memoirs-episode8-Madness-of-the-Clone-Emperor.html
http://unjoe.yuku.com/topic/5746/t/memoirs-episode9-The-Reluctant-Factor.html
http://unjoe.yuku.com/topic/5775/t/memoirs-episode-10-Defenders-of-the-Dark-Empire.html

Originally conceived as one story Memoirs8 was broken into a Trilogy after its script broke 30 pages in length; the previous longest memoirs script was a mere 17 pages. (written on a 10 font)
so enjoy these scripts monthes before their Photo-Novel Adaptations go into production.

DD, that is so weird, I was thinking of taking the story down that exact route, I even had that statement about the Bothans running through my head the other day.

It would be interesting to see the young Vont, and see where he came from. He is a mean dog of a fella with no fear, something must have made him that way.



oh yeah its here:

Bro, some of the ones you pulled off...I WAS LIKE holy crap!!!

I've taken a break from customizing for over a full year. I lost the love of it due to someone I thought was a friend, and who really destroyed my trust in people. He was a friend who I vid chatted with almost every night, we used too do customs together, and I gave him some tips on customs since he was new at the game.

I know it's not the same, but I kind of understand.

I've have had the nagging, hell biting in my ass too start up and finish the ones I have started and to start some new ones.

i hear ya man, i've had like several ppl burn me during my time doing this.
from trying to get ppl's info for Photo-Novel News(which was really just helping
them plug their stuff across eight forums),to helping ppl build their pages or flat
out just doing the pages myself on Photo-Novel Wiki,and ofcourse trying to do
effects for their pn's that never happen, etc...

but customs are really holding up my future projects currently; got a 6 issue Pulp style comic
coming up and the remaining Memoirs episodes.

Take your time doing what you got too do. Because your photo novels are awesome!!! And the length may even make them better.

thanks man; just wrapped up work on the outline of my Six part
Comic series entitled ''ClusterKriff'', set between the
Second and Third memoirs Episodes(21-20 BBY).

each issue has a central character which ultimately
ends up involved in the "Battle of Mandalore", which
is generally my personal retcon for all the problems
created during the second season of "the clone wars".

Issue1: Empatojayos Brand
Issue2: Yap-En Soear
Issue3: Spar
Issue4: Dilbun Vont
Issue5: Panzer,Blitz,Gulag: “The Clone Masters’’
Issue6: The Battle of Mandalore

so its really my (hopefully) first and last actual
stab at the Clone Wars proper, Memoirs was
originally intended to be just that but my interests
took me farther down the river of the EU.   so hopefully
it'll be a breath of fresh air; amongst the many Clone Wars
centric pn's.

Darth, I'm so way behind on catch up...I've been so busy at work that I have had very little free time, meaning any that I do get is devoted to my own stuff.

That said, I often browse through your work, but never enough to digest it all, for that I am sorry. "How can I expect people to comment on my stuff if I can't comment on others" I often think to myself.

Please accept this message as an apology as well as a personal note of my continued support for what you do for our community. I will continue to check in with your updates and as soon as I get enough time to sit and enjoy your wonderful/dark machinations I will post appropriate comments.

the actual 501st. also included are custom wips of Tyber Zann & Gir-Kir-Ren Cha.





both Hayt and Gir-Kybo where originally intended to be digital models within the episodes.

Great to see you back DD, I love the look of these new images, very ominous. A bit more polished if I may say, plus the camera angles (below looking up) really give the scenes a more realistic and stylised edge.

I am really looking forward to your next instalments.

thanks man, Madness should be up later this week or sometime next week.
its the first part of a trilogy; so it naturally doesn't fulfill itself upon conclusion.
here's a behind the scenes screengrab:

as far as the photography goes, ya I've finally gotten used to my new camera after two years
and i got a new lighting source:

as far as length goes, this one is a bit shorter than my previous installments; so far
only 67 frames of a 13 page story (written on 10 font). wish i could say for certain this was dropping
tomorrow, but i cannot so here's another glimpse of Madness....
