Need Voice Actor Who Can Do a German Accent

Filed Under: Podcast

I need a male with decent recording equipment willing to record about 2 minutes worth of lines in a German accent for the next Field Sounds.  I need it by Saturday.  Can anyone help me out? I can pay $20.

Podcaster people??

OOooh Ahhhh!

Filed Under: Photography

I just received two 16×20 test prints from my printer, one of the Steam Rat, and one of the Bird Queen.

I take a pretty darn nice looking photograph if I do say so myself.

These things are gorgeous.  I had them printed on pearl, and they are super glossy. I prefer matte, but the gloss somehow does lend a more professional feel.   When I do my print runs for limited editions, I think I’ll stick with the Luster paper over the Pearl.  Shiny is not right for steampunk prints.

Roundbottom Foundation Membership Packets

Filed Under: My Writing, Photography, Writing Process

Yeah, I know you’re probably tired of hearing about all this, but it’s all I am working on right now.  You definitely don’t want to read about my work or politics.  Anyway, I’m working on the Roundbottom Foundation membership packets.   So far these packets include:

  • one 8×10 print of either the Curious Mycoid, Another Clockwork Curiosity, The Common Maned Sprite, or Regarding Moth Pixies and Browncaps.  These prints will printed on  Fuji Luster Pro paper.  be stamped on the back with the official City seal and will be signed by Dr. Roundbottom.
  • A specially addressed formal membership card with your steampunk name on it. Or your real one, whatever you want.
  • A letter of thanks from Miss Watkins
  • Access to the members-only area of the site, which provides a behind-the-scenes look at how Dr. Roundbottom’s photonic captures and podcasts are made.  Will include hilarious outtakes from podcast sessions and discarded photos.  Basically, fun stuff.  This area will update monthly.

All of this for a $35 “donation”*.   All images not listed above will sell in limited editions of 50 in a 16×20 size for $125 per print.  These will signed and stamped as well.  If you buy a larger print, you will receive a free membership in the Roundbottom Society.

I’d be more than happy to hear suggestions for other membership perks I should give.  Leave me a note in the comments.  I still need to make the membership cards.

So there are the near finalized financials behind the Clockpunk project.  I won’t even go into how much bloody money I’ve spent on this thing.  It will take a very long time to recoup my expenses, if I ever do.  I’m doing this because I really enjoy it.  Money from memberships will mostly be turned right back into props, materials, and photo equipement.   Maybe I’ll sell a bunch of limiteds and I can rent that studio space down town.  I really need an indoor place to shoot soon with winter approaching.

*Not really a donation.  We’re not non-profit.  Not that we’re actually making a profit, mind you…

Reminder: New Roundbottom Podcast is available! Faery music! Sirens! Beautiful women!

Filed Under: My Writing, Podcast

In case you missed it, a new Field Sounds podcast episode on Roundbottom’s site  went up yesterday.  I think it’s got some great sound design and not too shabby writing in it.  Also, MIss Watkins sounds pretty darn good.  The doctor should really think about marrying that girl.  The subject this week is mysterious noble faery music.

You can listen to it here.

Resting Dragon

Dragon flies are big enough that I can take some very high magnification shots of their faces. They look so unusual at this scale, but quite beautiful, in my opinion.
