Other Creative Outlets

[veryweirdguy]

It has occured to me lately that some people actually have an active life beyond AGS.

I know several of you have webcomics, art blogs, and other endeavours outside making adventure games. Only recently have I discovered some of them.

BASICALLY: I want to know what they are. For example, I have a webcomic!

Please, feel free to show what else you're up to here! Think of it as free advertising, as I will check it out.

I do what I like to call 'web experiments' where I come up with an idea for a web site, create it, and put it out there see how it does (usually with the goal of making some money from it of course).

For the last 6 months I've been working on a HUGE project idea, my biggest to date!

I plan to Beta it in mid-November and will be posting a call for testers soon.

Aside from my 'web experiments' (and AGS stuff of course) I like to throw some pixels together from time to time.

I try to dip my ugly face into everything except making music.
A lot of my arty things can be found at http://eggheadcheesybird.deviantart.com

I can't do music.
I wish I could do music...

I do music! and not much else.

Unfortunately much of my outlet is held by my clients so there's not huge to see in my website www.nikolas-sideris.com . I did start a blog which never worked. I was also thinking of collaborating with Auriond to another comic-music-art thingy, but this fell to the ground as well.

And I'm the admin at www.CGEmpire.com, which takes quite a bit of my time actually!

Well, I create concept rock...there are so many projects, it's hard to list them all.  Most of them are done with just some acoustic guitar and sometimes vocals, but occasionally I get help from others to make full songs.  I play electric too, but I've lost interest in the last four years or so.

There's Novellice, an epic story about living stories in an intangible reality where they exist in capsules floating on a beach.  There's more to it, and there are some typed up issues but nothing more yet.  There will be a webcomic hopefully by about May of 2009, depends on a successful move and if my friend Tucker will still be interested.  Beyond that there is a 900 page graphic novel planned as well, broken up into about 30 issues.

I don't really play shows anymore, but I used to do a lot of that.

And of course I do videos on youtube, lots of Coheed and Cambria covers:

I maintain a website, that's always fun! Run a forum (a small one), and that's about it for me.

Well, my rather limited artistical output can be viewed most easily at my deviantart-page, I suppose:
http://geisterfaust.deviantart.com/
Mainly photography and poster designs recently, but there are some other things there as well.

As for music, well, I sing in the following bands:
Remos Third Ear (Folk/psychedelia)
http://www.myspace.com/remosthirdear
Late 60's/early 70's-sounding psych/acid-folk inspired by Comus, Tir Na Nog, Incredible String Band, etc...

Ingnis (Death/thrash/prog metal)
http://www.myspace.com/ingnis
Mixing the extreme brutality of death metal and grindcore with the melodic catchiness of Depeche Mode.

The Longest Hour (Experimental/hardcore/post-rock)
http://www.myspace.com/longesthour
Cinematic, experimental soundscapes and heavy, doom-ridden riffing.
Cult of Luna meets Godspeed you! Black Emperor.

I've uploaded some pictures on deviantart a few days ago too:

[Ghost]

I'm on DeviantArt too, and I have recently started to blog, which is a lot of fun. Had a webcomic started a while ago but am currently looking for a better host.

Outside the forums I merely exist in school and train stations, I think.

[The Suitor]

I've dabbled in a lot of things. Mainly writing recently, and AGS.

I used to be in a band many years ago which has gone through a lot of name/genre changes: http://www.myspace.com/thefewer (embarrassingly kind of "emo", but back in the day it was a variation of Punk rock)

And I've done solo music stuff: http://www.myspace.com/woodsongmassacre

all of its just about mediocre, especially The Fewer (due to the crappy diy demos), but if I hadn't been in that band, I wouldn't have learned guitar, which I still play daily.

I've tried my hand at drawing on paper, but that needs a lot of practice. I can't do more than rough sketches, and I can't draw clean lines for the life of me. 

I don't really play shows anymore, but I used to do a lot of that.

^ I miss this...

[Stupot]

You're all too bloody creative, it's not fair.   

[Oliwerko]

I kind of dipped into music lately, pretty lame stuff I made.
Nevertheless I listen to it, so it makes me some pleasure making it.
In short, it's fun in spite of the fact that it's lame and too simple.

I am pretty much antitalent in drawing and I've never had enough patience to learn draw more decently. Every time I ended up staring at paintings that I liked and completely disappointed with my poor, I gave up. This went on for three times or so. I hope one day I will be able to gather enough patience to learn to draw

Dude, I just read all of those and want more! ^^

I use to edit movies all the time with Final Cut Pro! But that's when I was still in highschool and had access to their computers. Currently I'm trying to find a freeware program that has a similar format and feel and works with Vista so I can pick it up again.

[Andail]

music, art, writing

[HillBilly]

picking banjo, photomanipulation, making comics (nerrrd).

[ManicMatt]

Writing music (Link in my sig), and I can draw cartoons but I don't bother anymore.

[SSH]

My wife and I spend too much of out spare time doing up our daughter's rooms...

[m0ds]

Film-making, MIDI music, web-design... that about covers it Storm chasing too, which picked up interest from BBC and Channel 4 last year (but I bottled the interviews) and of course UFO watching :p But those are hardly "creative".

[Jared]

I greatly enjoy writing and, in fact, would like to make a career out of it. At the moment, though, all I've got online is a couple of pieces of Doctor Who fanfic. If anyone's interested you can find my [incomplete] re-write of Attack of the Cybermen here... though looking at it again I'm not sure if it's any good.

Also, my first game with AGS is some way off being complete, so that may count as my only creative outlet... apart from misguided attempts at acting...
