Hale Kane Comics #14 is finished!


Hale Kane Comics #14 by Mabeanie on DeviantArt

Hey guys!

So I've been working on this comic for the past two days in an effort to get it done before the new year and here we are on New Year's Eve with a new Hale Kane comic. It's set one year after Hale Kane #13 and has improved a lot on the artwork thanks to Ihasnotomato's input.

Enjoy!
See Ya!

Flag of Victoria

I've been trying to make a map of the world of the British Empire with every flag from 1900, but Victoria's was the most difficult to find. So difficult, in fact, that I had to make it myself.
It isn't very good, but I think it's pretty much in line with what the actual flag looked like.

So here is the Flag of Victoria from the time of the federation of the Australian colonies and in use 1877-1901.
Source: http://www.flagsaustralia.com.au/StateFlags.html

It was also altered in Photoshop CS6, so here's where I got the picture of the flag from: http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/au-vic.html

Now here's the flag I made:
It is supposed to have the Imperial Crown on it (I'm not sure if I got the right picture) and not the Tudor Crown or the St. Edward crown.

I could have a go at making the picture sharper if you want. So let me know at mrmabeanie@gmail.com

Thanks!

YouTube might not resume in 2017

Hey guys,
I know it's been a while, but today I was thinking that the way things are going at University I may not be able to resume running my personal YouTube channels in 2017 because my degree might not be over by then.
Basically me bringing my channels back relies entirely (ah... Actually 'mostly' is probably the best word) on when I finish my University studies.
So the way things are looking I may only return in 2018. Nevertheless AIM Industries is where you can find me because I make some of the videos as well as co-host them.

Also I thought it might be a good idea to reflect on my efforts to expand my blogging to other platforms. It did this in March 2014 and finished in January 2015. The way it worked was every blog post I made I would post to my DeviantART, Tumblr and WordPress in addition to this blog. I stopped because the goal had been to gain an audience on those platforms via my blogging, but I didn't achieve that and decided it was silly to continue. I still use DeviantART for my Hale Kane comics and used Tumblr to reblog something in June. Links to all of those can be found to the right.

That's everything I have to say.
See you whenever!

My Civilization 5 Map

Hey guys,
I made a map recently and because I can't load the screenshots onto the Steam Workshop page I thought I would link to a blog post from the page. So here I am.

I made a map of South Australia as my first map for Civ 5. I spent all day on it and I enjoy playing on it. So it's definitely an achievement on my part. I made the map based on a few pictures:


I used this picture more than any other because it shows where desert, mountains and more fertile land is. The other two pictures were just to compare and check I had it right. To be honest I think the middle picture is a bit off. It's a topography map so I think it means that the green is sea level and not actually green.
 
Here are some screenshots of me playing as the Aztecs on my South Australia map.

Settled Kangaroo island!

As you can see the edges of the map appear to be coast. It doesn't count as coast and I don't know how to fix it. I know it was set to world wrap in World Builder, but when I disabled it and went over the edges again it didn't fix, so I don't know what to do. Nevertheless it is still an enjoyable map to play on, especially with the lakes around and the Great Australian Bight.
 
Thanks and See Ya!

MrMabeanie 2017

Hey guys,
So 2017 November is when I will bring back my channels. I don't know specifically when I'll bring everything back, or even if it IS November. Nevertheless I've been looking at some of my past shows and thinking of which ones I want to keep going and which ones will gather cobwebs.

The winners are:
Let's Play Adobe Photoshop CS6 - Makes commentary challenging and therefore more interesting, hopefully.
Friday Night Fun - Seriously who in their right mind would have thought I'd give up on this one. It was barely able to walk when I left it.
Minecraft Seedscribers - While I'm really not into Minecraft anymore (for real this time; I lied back in 2012 and probably 2013) I do love the look of the formations that can come about from typing in some random combination of letters and numbers. Also I loved the alerts I edited in. I shouldn't have stopped them.

So those are the shows I want to bring back. They may not come back at the same time because alongside them I want to do shows that demonstrate the high production value that I've come to expect from the channel.

TheMabeanie has had a makeover as well. Episodes of 3 Let's Plays at once will last around 10 minutes each, will link to each other, and have artwork (except Mine Craft Building Stuff: Colossal Conclusion). Also TheMabeanie's channel icon looks better than MrMabeanie's. I guess I've improved in the technique.

See Ya!
