Enjoy 2007-3-10 20:47:14 http://www.chezzie.com/page5.htm#8870 Its been a while so I thought Id add to my blog. First the good news the number of visitors to this site has now passed the 3000 mark Thanks to all who have made this possible. Now the bad news some unmentionable half wit has decided to hit me with a spambot. Im getting hundreds of fake returned email messages which Im deleting as often as I can. Genuine email might end up getting lost in this so for now Im going to remove the contact me page from the site. If you wish to contact me leave a message in the guest book or email me at one of my other email addresses if you know them. In other news Im planning a major PC upgrade in the coming weeks so Im hoping to get Poser working again soon. There WILL be an Episode IV its just a case of when. Watch this space... 2007-3-2 07:02:50 http://www.chezzie.com/page5.htm#4778 Summer has been amp gone and by now you might have noticed no Episode IV. Following my PC crash Ive had major problems with the software I use to create the graphic novel in that it wont run for more than a couple of minutes without the whole thing rebooting There WILL be an episode IV but not sure when pages 1 to 27 are complete. It may involve a rebuilding of my PC as someone suggested the problem might be overheating. Well just need to wait amp see. 2006-10-1 11:30:53 http://www.chezzie.com/page5.htm#2338 I FINALLY managed to get Knights of the Old Republic working on my PC WOO HOO Had the game for at least a year amp only just got it working now. Seems it didnt like my video card but with the patch its running fine.The Ebon Hawk isnt as fast as The Wild Thing but itll do for me Ive been playing as a character called Chezz Traykar must be an ancestor. Needless to say this has caused a delay in the graphic novel.... BTW this site has just past the 1000 visitors mark Thank you to all who made this possible 2006-5-25 20:15:19 http://www.chezzie.com/page5.htm#1990 Well after about a fortnight of panic Ive got most of my files back.

So far Its been a bit of a setback but I think were still on for a summer release of Star Wars The Chezz Traykar Saga Episode IV Title Pending 2006-5-7 11:32:49 http://www.chezzie.com/page5.htm#1859 HAPPY STAR WARS DAYMay the Fourth be with you PC is back online PHEW 2006-5-4 07:57:11 http://www.chezzie.com/page5.htm#1754 Is this the work of the Empire I dont know but my PC is currently SNAFU Logging this on another machine to let you know there might be a delay in updates for a bit. At least till I get my ampamp machine working again Im hoping to rescue my files or Ill have to start Episode IV from scratch which is something I really dont want to think about If you have emailed me in the last few days amp wondered why youve not got a reply this is why. Stay tuned.... 2006-4-28 18:53:39 http://www.chezzie.com/page5.htm#1490 Ive had a couple of people ask how I create the images used in this graphic novel. Heres the answer a piece of software called Poser. Its been around for a few years now amp theres been a few updates from the version 4 I have. Using this I load up models created by some very talented 3D model makers out there in internet land see links page for details and with a click of the mouse amp some patience you have a picture. Then I do it all over again for the next frame. And the next... I hope this has been of some help. 2006-4-12 19:33:36 http://www.chezzie.com/page5.htm#1285 No its not ready yet Going to be sometime in the summer.
