Summer, 1994.
Chris goes to college and has a terrible roommate experience. Summer, 1994.
Chris meets the person that eventually evolved into the character
"Alice", and later “Yuki”. Spring, 1995 Chris goes to a
political rally. A friend
mentions in passing that a small, dark, guilty part of him wants the whole
thing to end in violence. The
seed of an idea is planted. Spring, 1995.
Chris attends an annual tradition at the college that reminds him
of the “ending in violence statement”.
For the first time the phrase “it all ended in a bloodbath from
Hell” is uttered. The
resulting idea
is quickly put on the back-burner in order to make time to film the self produced
science-fiction movie “Freezone” during the summer of 1995.
“Freezone” eventually wins a National Communicator award for
“low budget” film making. Fall, 1995.
Chris meets most of the rest of the people that would evolve into
B12 characters, and spends most of his time in the dorm that would be the
basis for Building 12. Fall, 1995.
Anime Society started at Chris' college.
Due to an unofficial competition with Iron to collect the most
anime Chris’ anime collection grows... a lot. |
Little
to no artwork remains for this period... That is to say, little to
no artwork can be FOUND relating to this period. Somewhere, my old
sketch books filled with the terrible original concept sketches are lying
around begging to be scanned in, but until I feel like digging through
mounds of old crap in storage, this section will remain blissfully free of
most of the worst Building 12 artwork.
But, for those of you with a morbid sense of curiosity, I am providing a link to some thumbnails of my film "Freezone", which can be found HERE. Yes, I am one of the people in those thumbnails, the man in black, and let me tell you, never cast yourself in a film in a role that requires you to dress in black leather and sword fight in 110 degree weather in the middle of a swamp. Bad Idea.
