I believe I have gotten to the point where I can call my 3D Valkyrie model finished. Outside of the weathering, and bump maps, and animation rig, not much more I think I can do for this baby. Time to put it to rest and start getting some quality sleep time in. See the final battroid here.

August 5, 2002
Not much going on right now. Seems like my drawing whirl may be slowing down. The forums are still going. We have 10 members now... would like to have more. Many postings there from Fred so go and check it out. He has some good stuff. And please post some of your own as well. Moview review and discussion rooms have been added as well.

The Studio1311 Exhibition Forums go live today! Bring your stuff and show them what you're made of... or let them make something out of you. YOu kno wthe format. Come and join me as we build a new creative community! I have many plans for this site so keep watching here for changes.

July 17, 2002
Fred Monasterio has been a long time friend of mine. Recently, we decided to do a collaborative piece with the theme being CYBERPUNK. I have his design and mine posted and you can see them here. In addition, I expanded the sequential art section to include his sequential pieces in the mis so you can actually see what the story was trying to do. Check it out in the Sequentials Section. Also... coming soon.... STUDIO 1311 exhibitions....

July 12, 2002
Man, alot has happened since the last update. Added several new guest colors in the colors section of the site. Also added a special first submission from Fred Monasterio for page 26 of the sequential series he and I did a while back. Oh, and did I mention that we hit 1000? Thanks to everyone who cam eto see the site. Commemorative celebration piece coming soon!

July 1, 2002
800 and counting. Beginning to think of plans to start my own BBS on the EZBoard. Don't want to follow the designs of boards in the past and would like to make this more specific,. So keep watching here for details. Also, this page was getting a tad bit tall so I filtedred out old news to a new page of it's own.

Happy Birthday Prudence! 27... welcome to my world, youngster.

June 28, 2002
Wow, 700 already. I think I owe it to the Morrigan and Jedi piece for sure... More collaborations added for each piece as well, check em out in the Galleries section

JUne 25, 2002
Yeah Baby! 600! What happened? Site open for 2 months and most of my hits come in 3 days... what was I doing wrong before? Thanks for the eyes, everyone.

June 23, 2002
Yeah Baby, 500! Dang, that was really hard... 2 months for 500 hits. Celebration pic coming soon. Just added mini thumb galleris for the web pages and finished a Female Jedi Fan Pic. Also collected diferent works from other web artists on the Morrigan pic I did last week. Great response for her. Thanks everyone!

June 13, 2002
Just completed the lock out and password protection of the digipix. No offense to visitors, but the images are for family and personal friends and you don't necessarily want the web public to know what you look like, where you live, your parents house, etc etc etc..... SO if I know you, I made sure that you would be able to get in.

June 7, 2002
Added a CG (computer Graphics) section to the galleris. GOing to have to rename it or move since it is not just pencil work anymore. Also added more old pix and started revamping the Simpsons section to have actual content.

CONGRATULATIONS to Betty and Khanh! The boy just proposed and the girl said "Yes!" I'd like to personally send my warm wishes to the couple and wish them the best of luck in the future. The next year is gonna be a busy one... for me too if they want my help, not to mention the baby.. Bring it On!!..



May 10, 2002
Added a few more images to the gallery. Not new ones, just more scans of past work.

May 13, 2002
Just made a banner. Since I'm bad with color, I stayed away from it on the banner and went for the BW theme. If you want, feel free to use it.

Or just copy and paste this piece of code in your HTML:
<a href="www.studio1311.com" target="_top"><img src="http://www.studio1311.com/banner.jpg" width="200" height="40"></a>

This looks like it. All pieces seem to be working out really good now and most elements should be in order. Guestbook is completed and all that's left now is to get people to come and see. Looks like the count starts at 69!.

May 9, 2002
The guest Book is on it's way. Still having the issues with the Domain name not going where it should. STUDIO1311.COM is notyet born though it is available on the web. Still need to figure out the whole nameserver thing as well as how to make the CGI/PERL work for the guestbook and then begin to section off the parts of the site to cater to the intended audiences. Still have a ways to go...

May 6, 2002
Beginning to break the sections up so the menus reflect what is in the section as opposed to the entire site. The intention in the end is that all sections are self contained and that they can be catered to different viewing audiences. Drawings section can be posted uniquesly, Simpsons section can be posted uniquely, etc. Eventually, I'll have to make several index pages so that people only have access to the site they are intended to based on the referring URL or source.



APRIL 2002

April 30, 2002
This is it. Paid my money and Studio1311.com is officially a reality. Added more family pics and some more drawings to the gallery. Fixed a few links and made he code a little more streamlined. Will need to brush up some of the typing an verbiage before releasing the site. Coming soon.

April 2, 2002
First and Foremost: Happy Birthday Josh! You are no longer a teenager, but  man! Happy 2oth, and many more!

Added the Commissions section today. I probably should change it to professional work and freelance since in reality, it's not really like a commission. And commissions should be more of the "I paid you to draw this pic for me" type stuff. We'll see.

April 1, 2002
Still struggling with the Netscape incompatibility. The page in Netscape looks just completely jacked up. Can't figure out what the issue is. Netscape is quickly losing favor with me and may abandon it all together. Matter of fact, I'm gonna post a "best viewed " and "do not view with" tag on the index just to let people know Netscape has issues in my page.

Oh yes... April Fool's! And no, the issues posted here are not a joke.



MARCH 2002

March 31, 2002
Happy Easter! The site is coming along. Added the sketch slideshow as well as made a few graphics for additional menu items as well as title graphics. Was able to figure out how to make the gallery summaries a dynamic library element to make updates easier. Tried to look at some possible web hosting options to get the site live, not sure if I wanna pay the cash for the web space yet. It's not expensive, but now is not the time to be spending money.


March 30, 2002
Though the site is still in it's infancy, I have been able to gather a good deal of info here for you to peruse through. Most sketches have been commented on and have also been arranged into categories. For those of you who do not necessarily want to study each image one by one, a slideshow has been set up so you can peruse the images more easily and efficiently.

Future plans for the site include Digital Pictures I've taken with my trusty SONY DSC-50, samples of past web designs, commission work if you want to have something drawn, and a complete catalog of my Simpsons collection.
