Wings of Glory

Posted by daigonite - May 12th, 2012

With Built to Last completed, I feel inclined to continue the series.

While working on the project, I found some fantastic tracks by Parov Stelar, including this one that just SCREAMS Soldier. It was so inspirational that it was a tad distracting from my last project!

Who is the protagonist of our new story?...

John Diere (Birthday August 4th, 1940, age 27)

Younger than his RED counterpart Jane Doe, America-lovin' Commie-hatin' John Diere is a master at sports. In fact, back in Washington High School, being the best guy on the football team, he would woo the ladies everywhere he went. But High School is long gone, and he's been struggling to get a job after he's kicked out of multiple colleges. Desperate, he seeks a position at Builder's League United, to train for becoming a soldier. An exceptional warrior, everything seems to be going well, until he is captured by the REDs. Will John survive?...

Comments, questions, ect.? Feel free to respond.

What is going on here? Hey, do you know how to animate? You know I've got a few people frequenting my page who have been asking me to do some animation for a project they might be working on in the distant future. I don't know, they probably only ask me because they know I'd do it for free... except I don't have any animation skill. They get what they pay for I guess.

I don't mind doing collaborations as long as there is a decent amount of effort involved, for example if they do the storyboarding or something like that.

Otherwise I really don't like animating for others for free, just because it's so much time.

In short, I don't mind working with people, but not for them unless I get paid.

Understandable. Personally I tend to start losing interest in projects I intend to finish, and I often agree to work on things without expecting monetary reimbursement. If it's fun, if I'm friends with the people involved and I think we can create something that's interesting then it's all art for arts sake in my book.

I figure that the thing about art is this, you have to spend a long time just creating things and getting it out there, working, crafting until it gets to a point where people look at what you're doing and say, "Yeah, it's worth paying for it." Then you can get some cash. Artist isn't exactly the career you go into if you want to be rich... or even comfortably well off.

Which is why I'm considering going back to school admittedly. Have a real job, putting the music aside as a hobby. I'll probably never get to a point where my music will be make me any money.

So Soldier is 27 years old? I haven't look at the lore's about the classes...

The official source has no verification for the age of the characters, but it is implied that RED soldier would be much older, at least by 15 or so years, since he was of age to join the military by WWII.

The ages are actually determined by the Chinese zodiac sign I feel fits best for the character in the best timeframe. In Soldier's case, he is a Dragon. His regular birthday is also determined by the zodiac, but rather the western zodiac, and it's more publicized in my works than the birthyear.
