Stranger Soup has a nice ring to it though.
So are we really doing this? For barter I can:
• Make drawerings, mostly comicy & illustration stuff, but I've done some logo work as well. People tell me I am pretty good at these things.
• Make scrumptious treats as well. My Mint Brownies from scratch are to die for - DIE!
• Make a prototype toy of you (or anyone you want, really) - I have skills in sculpting and painting. This is not a joke.
• Shoulder to cry on - I am an exceptional listener and can offer good advice about any manner of subject.
• Roughing people up - Someone giving you a hard time? I worked corporate security for a few years, so I know how to take out the trash. Travel and food expenses not included in barter.
• Prom date*. I clean up pretty nice, and even though I'm old (early 30's) and that's kinda creepy, it's better than asking your cousin to go with you, yeah? *Or any social event - gender not important.
• Web design. I am good at these things as well.
• FOT Hostel. Coming to Seattle for a convention, concert, vacation? I have an extra room downstairs you can crash in. Continental breakfast included.
What I need:
I need someone to tutor me in the ways of a program like Blender, Maya, Max, any 3D app really where I can build some characters and buildings quickly and rotate/get lots of angles from them. I have a few upcoming projects that would make my life so much easier to have 3D versions to draw from instead of having to redraw the same thing over and over again from scratch. I've been messing with Blender the last week, and I just cannot get a handle on the interface at all. I'm pretty adept at Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator and such, so I figure it won't take much for me get my head around this. But reading manuals and poorly written tutorials online is going to take forever for me to get it, and I want to to be off and running on this in the next 8-12 weeks if possible. Halp!!
I also like yummy treats too. But I mostly need the other thing now.
