Thought everyone would like to see game-play from our Founder's Map. There's plenty of action in the video. We even get to see SEspider get blown up and then assassinated shortly afterward. Clearly not his best game but still fun to watch.

The version of the map, Sapien, in this video is a updated version from the Contest's version. There are improvements and still a few more to come.

Last Forger Standing - Episode 4!

2012-02-15T17:15:00.003-05:00

We're a bit late posting this. Two weeks late in fact. Sorry about that.
The final episode will be released in a week or so. Will our founder make it to the finals? Or will he be benched? Watch the below video to find out! ;)

New Tshirt Company and Last Forger Standing Episode 3

2012-01-29T14:51:00.003-05:00

Well, it looks like someone likes our designs. We were recently contacted via Redbubble's Maling system by one of their upcoming rivals if we'll be interested and designing for them. It's still too early to go into details or provide links, but the company shows promise. No matter what we decide, we'll continue to design for RedBubble and sell our current designs there. Stay tuned for more future updates!

In other news, PeteTheDuck has released Episode 3 of his exciting Last Forger Standing show. Although we'd preferred a certain two named contestant to win this week, we're pleased to announce our Founder is still in the contest. The next challenge is a 2v2 Slayer map. Also a first for SEspider. We've tested the map and at times we've loved it and at other times we down right hated it. Mostly because were lost. It's a fun map and he's happy with it. But you'll have to wait until the next episode to see it. At this point we don't even know if it keeps him in the running to win or not.

Until then, enjoy LFS's Episode Two: Race Challenge

Last Forger Standing Contest!

2012-01-21T17:57:00.004-05:00

For those of you that don't know already....well I guess that's pretty much all of you. lol Xbox gamer PeteTheDuck has hosting a cool Halo Reach Forging Contest on you site ( httphttp://idleduck.com/ ) and H.B.O. ( http://www.halo.bungie.org ) over 6 weeks. Or is it 5?

The winner of this contest receives 4k Microsoft points. I may not be considered a large prize when compared to other Xbox contest online, but that's okay. This contest isn't about the prize or winning really. It's about helping the contestants improve their Forge skills as well as get a foot in the "Forge World Door."

Taking part in the contest is the founder of SEspider Productions! He admits not to have the greatest voice for narration of his entries ( and we can attest to that ) but his entries are very cool. Below are links to the first two episodes of the contest. Even if our founder doesn't make it to the end, we'll continue to keep you all informed with links to the episodes.

We'll like to take thank the Last Forger Standing judges and the other contestants for their continued support and contributions. But our fingers are still crossed and on our knees that SEspider wins!

stop S.O.P.A. & P.I.P.A. today!!

2012-01-18T20:54:00.005-05:00

I'm sure some of you have noticed your favorites sites have temporarily taken their sites down in exchange to help promote this petition. If you've not, then let me summarize it for you.

There are two bills being pushed through the legislation that WILL RUIN THE INTERNET!. The Stop American Censorship (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA) bills are designed to take down ANY site that has the prospect of posting/sharing copyrighted material. Did you read that right? I said 'prospect' of of. That covers sites like Youtube, Facebook, Machinima, DeviantArt, and yes, even Bungie and H.B.O.!

Sites are protected right now with a law that says that if a user/visitor/member post a link, quote, or image of copyrighted material then the site is NOT liable because they are not at fault. In other words, If I post on HBO's forum a link to say artwork from Bungie, then HBO can still continue to run while I may get sued for Copyright Infringement.

But if these bills are passed and I post that same artwork then the US Government has the authority to take down the entire H.B.O. site and press charges agenst Louis Wu for "allowing" something they can't prevent!

I first noticed these petitions yesterday but didn't think much about it simply because I had no knowledge of it nor how important it was. Today the site's owner (along with other sites I visit) have taken down their sites in favor of informing us of the dangers of these bills. I first noticed it on BlendSwap.com. Below are some links and a video that explains it better then I ever could.

This is Real! Do, please, do sign it today.
Oh, did I mention that these bills WILL put an end to ALL fan art? No? Well they will if passed.

Donations/Work Needed For Dental Visit

2012-01-01T06:02:00.002-05:00

I in no way like doing this but I have no choice since I have no insurance nor a job. I'm in need of seeing a dentist bad. 20+ years since I've seen a dentist but I so brush my teeth each day & don't smoke nor drink. I do have some bad cavities but nothing that pains me any. The issue is on my jaw's right outside wall. This particular area has swollen before due to a cavity. That was about a year ago and healed long ago. But since Oct 2011 my gums have swollen to what feels like a rock. The swelling went down a lot around Thanksgiving to the sice of a dime. But now it's swelled up to a stone again. It's very painful but no dentist will see me w/o either cash or insurance. And the hospital has refused to do anything about it because "not their field." Which makes no sense to me at all. I would think that all they have to do is numb my jaw and drain it with a syringe. But I'm not a MD so what do I know?
This is where you guys/gals come in. I'm asking for either donations or local work that will pay for at least a visit to a dentist. I NEED to know it's not a tumor or anything worse. A visit just to be checked out (looked at) will cost me $130. This is partly because they will also have to make a dental cast of my mouth for NC records. I MUCH prefer to work for the money if possible. Just let me know if any of you can help via a comment below and how I can reach you. I'll also much appreciate your prayers. Thank You All.

Merry CHRISTmas!!

Merry CHRISTmas Everyone!

I pray you all understand the true meaning of Christmas is the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

This Christmas I (and others) took part in a Secret Santa project over at Halo.Bungie.Org's Forums. The idea is to make sure everyone that takes part gives and receives a gift. Part of the fun is that no one knows who their Secret Santa is. Possibly so they can't really complain. lol. Being an artist, I must know what the giftee would like drawn, so I contacted him for info. He asked for a few drawings of his beautiful wife and provided images of her. And she is beautiful. ^_^ Normally not an issue. But seeing as how it's been 10+ years since I've attempted to draw a real person, it's proven to be a challenge. Of course I see nothing but mistakes in my contribution, but here's hoping the Giftee and his wife likes it.

As I stated earlier, everyone that takes part also gets a gift. I recieved a original/custom song about me. Below are the lyrics. AWESOME STUFF!! Provided by J103 Production. Thank You!

S. E. Spider. (S. E. Spider)
Dear Sir or Madam, do you know this guy?
Heard he’s quite good-looking, you know supa-fly?
He looks like Vin Diesel so keep Tex away,
Or she’ll jump the ocean just to spend a day with S. E. Spider,
S. E. Spider.

He’ll make a website for whatever you need,
Just ask him nicely you don’t have to plead.
He frequents the forums here on H. B. O.
He could make a front page if Wu just asked him so, S. E. Spider.
S. E. Spider.

S. E. Spider (S. E. Spider)

S. E. Spider is a kindly man,
Haven’t met a person said they hate the guy.
His posts are lengthy but they make some sense,
Maybe he’d give some pointers, to Vagueness. S. E. Spider.
S. E. SpiderIf you really like him you can find him here,
On H. B. O., the guy is always near.
We’re glad to have him and I wish him well,
If you need a web page then you gotta tell S. E. Spider
S. E. Spider.

Sorry for the late post. Lots going on and not all of it good. But I'll not bore you with the bad stuff til later.

The new Xbox360 Dashboard update has finally arrived. My impression? Put it back Microsoft.
I like a lot of the new features, etc. But there are just oo many issues with it as well. The Cloud feature is great and I'm told works better on the 360 then non-Microsoft products. But it still has some hick-ups to get over. The New video interface for Netflex, Zune, Hulu, etc us turned to trash. Not only does it clutter up the screen, but now there's no more preview thumbnails when scrolling through the videos. Not a good thing. Facebook and Twitter seems unchanged. Which is nice and bad. We still can't check our messages on the system. What's up with the Ads? In the last interface there were ads but they contributed to the system or gamer in some way. On Day One of the new UI there's a Chuck Norris ad for World of Warcraft. A game that's not even on the system. For $60 a year for the Gold service just to play online and use certain features, there should be no ads at all. I understand placing them on Silver (free) accounts but not paied accounts. The "Biggest" feature of the new UI is how well it works with the Kinect and HD tvs. All well and good. But what about us poor folks that don't have the Kenict nor HD tvs? People like me. Larts of the UI is unreadable because I need a HD tv to see it. The Nav system is nice so long as I use the controller's Bumper buttons. However, the new UI has Voice control. My biggest issue is a COMPLETE lack of voice control via a headset. This is simple technology that's in TVs, Computers, Cars, and even bloody cheap toys. But to not include it in a UI that's built for it is just plain stupid. And don't get me started on the update to the Friends' list.

-----------------
In personal news, My Grandmother feel not once but twice last month and broke both hips. She's part metal now. A Dear friend got stupid and it cost him his life. And family member was about to leave for home from a hospital visit and just dropped dead. We're still awaiting the results as to why. And my Grandfather falls hitting his back on a table corner which spins him around forcing his Right Arm to it another corner, thus tearing a large chunk of flesh off his arm, and sends him into the hard floor face first busting up his mouth and nose. Images are on my Facebook page/profile. Oh and someone that I looked to as a father/grandfather over the last 5 years showed his true form and ruined our relationship. This has been a Great Month!

-----------------
My T-shirt sales on Redbubble are at a stand still. I've sold a lot of stickers, but with only a profit of 20 cents per sticker, there's very little to be happy about. I still can't get a job. Still no car. Haven't been able to attend church for 7 years now for complete lack of either funds or transpertation. They'll be willing to pick me up of course. But that'll just make me lazy and depend on them. Not going to happen. I've gotta make it on my own. That way I can FINALLY move out of my parents' place! It's driving me mad. I'll not go into why.

-----------------
CHRISTmas is almost here! WOOT! I can't really give anyone anything being broke and all. But I am thinking of making certain t-shirt designs avaliable at a discount on redbubble. It'll not be a huge discount like I want. I have no control of that. But enough to help make the prices more bearable. I don't get Christmas gifts and this year will be no different. The only gift I would want is for everyone in the world to hear that God Loves them. That He died for them. That if they believe, simply confess their sins, and ask for His forgiveness.

This season is about the birth of the World's Savior. And a reminder of what He did for us. It's not about getting gifts or bonuses. It's not about a old obese guy in a red suit. And it's not about how long oil lasted in a lamb. It's NOT "the holidays. It's CHRISTmas!

Art Used On TV!

2011-11-11T06:51:00.006-05:00

For those of you that missed it. Dave of Pittsburgh's FOX 53 station contanted me requestion permission to use my Halloween 2K11 scene for commercial use. After a few minor changes to the file was completed , I granted the station permission to use it for their Halloween promo as well as any future projects. Sadly, I didn't create the file with animation in mind so there are a few issues with the render. But I'm still honored to see my art used like this.

Be sure to check out their station online. Even if you don't live in the Pittsburg area, their site full of useful information. http://www.wpgh53.com/

And if you would like to download the Blender file you see in to promo, then please visit the below link. But do keep in mind that you must get my permission before you can use any of it for any commercial use. And please note, I recieved permission from FOX 53 to post their promo.

BAZINGA!

2011-10-27T21:29:00.004-04:00

Okay, get this. I've not checked Redbubble in 5 days and figured I'll do so now. I log in and this is what I see in my update page.

Not just stickers sold this time. In their usual place are 8 T-shirts! And a iPhone Case! WOOT! Eight of the sold designs consist of my Brain Freeze set. At first I thought that it had to be a mistake. I opened the page in a new tab as well as different browsers. same result. Not satisfied, I checked the my Sales History and sure enough, there they were, sitting there organized and labeled by date/time.

Could the buyer(s) have made a mistake and ordered too many? Possibly, but possibly not. Only time will tell. I'm going to stay positive and Praise God as usual. That and feel like a fool for not making Brain freeze available as a iPhone case. lol

WOOT!!

iPhone Cases Are Here!!
