Identities online are strange in the way that it's a completely different environment to real life interaction.
I'm more used to it than a lot of people, and I still don't particularly like games like Second Life. I personally prefer more constructive interactions, again without the issue of navigating a character that has a particular appearance. Some bad experiences with it include: cyber stalking. Which is as creepy online as it is in real life. Except that they're chasing after a digital 'skirt'. This is a somewhat disturbing aspect of what I mentioned before- the release of inhibitions in an online environment.
Very scary stuff. Thus is life, though, I suppose.
I'm in the process of redesigning my 5 year old 'identity' for use in several new story concepts and also for this upcoming project. Updates are frequent- every couple of months to once a year- to reinfluence the design to how I am, what I'm wearing, what styles I'm into- etc, etc. One of my favourite past times when I have no other inspirations, I guess. I'll upload some sketches that I've had bouncing around my head soon.
Also a new character has been designed, who I'm quite proud of. I may use him in a project, or a personal project soon.
I've actually got a story idea for him- a look into stereotypes and how they can affect real life, as he's particularly guilty of this trait. It should be interesting. He needs more development, as do the other characters, but that should be fun. Sketching out his first few interactions with them right about now.
Inspirations right now are House (into the medical drama sort of thing. Unfortunately it gets repetitive, so one episode lasts for a long while of inspiration) and artistically;
Jakuu, Homoshiroi, NeonDragon, Shilin and Unknown-Person
Musically? I have no clue. Really need to find something new to really get motivated.
That's all for now.
