DECEMBER

Dec 15th
I'm listening to a podcast from Anime World Order [link] Er, I don't recommend it unless you are 18+ and have a strong constitution for whack manga. Seriously. Weird info overload.

Dec 13th
Whee! First devMeet. x3 Really relaxed atmosphere and I guess through the power of dA stalking, I felt I'd already been introduced to some people cos I recognised ppl from the pics. Nice to meet you all :love:

Uh, so I've been steadily playing L4D2 and as a break from gaming been watching Avatar whilst working on my competition manga... ... ................................................... watching Avatar don't help the process. I'm gonna have to start working properly and limit gaming time till after 12am, cos at least then sheer exhaustion should make me stop playing.

Unless a friend signs on, then all bets are off.

Commission are $10 AUS for an A4 print or digital A4. I really need money, so please don't hesitate D:<

early avo
Got Bridge Burner after a few tries so can draw now? Might not be on for long, might go see Zombieland, cuz you never can get enough.

early morning
Oh wow. Because I can't get enough L4D2, I looked up the OST on youtube. All the specials have their own theme songs that play when they're around. But usually you listen for their vocals to pick them.

The samples are also the same tempo, so they can play together and make for aome awesome creepy atmosphere. I love Valve ~:heart: When I play next, I'm gonna see if the music comes warns before the vocals kick in. Oh yeah!

[link]

I opened them in different windows then timed it to play in sync.

Dec02
Actually nothing more to say on that point.

Uuuufufufufufufufufufufufuuuuuu! FINALLY FINISHED DARK CARNIVAL! On normal. Only restarted once in the final stage. My thought processes before I died:

There's another [bleep] tank amagahd. All the roadies must turn into tanks fcol. Ohno! Nick's down! Ellis is down! C'mon Rochelle's! Let's help them! Hiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-aaah yeah right, screw that, I want the achievement for this level. Good luck Ro, just gotta make it past this tank to the helicopt- ok I'm down. Ro!! Help me! Look I'm helping now! I'll keep shooting the tank with my magnum hlepmehelpme ohnoshe'sdown. *sigh*

Just glad I didn't have to restart in the one before that... whatever it's called. <edit>The barns. Finally checked it ><</edit>

*...interlude....*

Okay. I started writing thing about 3 hours ago, then I went to look for the names of the levels, because I thought it would be easier to google than to go in game and check. Found a whole heap of l4d n l4d2 movies and completely forgot what I was doing. Discovered who Leeroy Jenkins is and that if I ever get in a group with a guy named Criken, I should just shoot myself and get it over with. The vids he were making were where he was intentionally being annoying to make an interesting vid, but seems like he'd just do it to mess with you too.

I'm addicted to this game.

How well. That's what a good game and life does for you, means you can't draw fo' shite. But I'm gonna livestream my boring buts online, if you're just as bored.
Here:My Livestream >8D

16th

Edit:TOTALLY BOUGHT ITS A$$. KURU YOU GOTTA PLAY WITH MEH! D: WHEN IT GETS RELEASED. Those guys would be working their buts of right now to make sure everything goes smoothly. Go Valve!

So I finally got Steam on my puter and downloaded a few demos... HOLY CRAP. I didn't think Left 4 Dead 2 was that big a deal, but man is it awesome to play. The demo lets you play online with people too. Although I realised after the second time that towards the end, the people who know the demo finishes there start shooting you. =_=; While the nice ones keep on healing you. I shot the guys who was shooting everyone and the nice one went and helped him up again. But it was the end, so no biggie. You have to stay together, if not, you get majorly mobbed and can't move. If you get beaten real bad, you get knocked to the ground and can only shoot while someone helps you up - which is nice, cos you can stop their kidneys from being gouged out while they help you. Then you can give people pills and first aid if they need it. And you're not supposed to wake up the witches, but I didn't see them until I played a round just on my own.

You also can't linger too long out in the open, cos more will keep coming and you'll run out of ammo. Except for the pistols. And the machete.

To add to at least my playing experience there are army helicopters lying around real low, so the house shakes when they go over. Just need to time it with when the jet flies over at the beginning of the game and I'll be completely in the world. Didn't see a boomer until *voice gets drowned out by helicopters* sorry bout that. I didn't see a Boomer until the single player game either, cuz people kept blowing them up and all I saw was a liquid red flower. It comes out tomorrow apparently. I would so like to play it. @_@

In other news, I'm applying for the JET program. WHY CAN'T I FIND MY DEGREE! THIS IS EMBARRASSING!
<edit> FOUND IT! I'M NOT A TOTAL RETARD ANYMORE*ducks helicopters again* Blaaady hell. They're so close!




??th Nov
Heeeey! Commissions are open! XD They've had no chance to be closed I'm asking $10 for a full-page coloured manga-style drawing, the likes of
:thumb139490628: and :thumb141721989:.
Please note me if you're interested. :D


Free Journal Skins, thanks to Ninja Assassin. Which looks good by the way. Ridiculously ruthless. Me just reading The Way of Shadows at the mo has put me in the right frame of mind too ^^

My Livestream >8D

Don't really feel like drawing, but lets see what happens.

7th
And again! I'm making nice use of Livestreams ability to record and keep my screen captures. When I tend to get discouraged with my arts, I look back through what I've done and usually think either 'I am improving' or 'How the hell did I draw that? Why don't I remember how I did that awwwww man this sucks. Better keep drawing.'

Capturing the actual movements... well. I can see how SLACK I am sometimes. So slow. The idea that someone is watching me work also makes me concentrate better.

Either that or the Vodka slushie I had at lunch. Free slushies at 7-11 today, for it's their birthday. Not that I'll be assed. :X

K, stopped playing now after walking for so long looking for new settlements around DC. It's so far away :( Oh, forgot to check if my explosives talent was high enough to disarm the bomb. Ohwell.

Gonna play Fallout 3 on me livestream. Cuz I'm an addict. 8D [link]

28th

WHOO! I'S GOT ME A NEW COMPUTER! It's so slick! It was blocking css for a while there, but it cleared that problem up on its own somehow. Imagine DA in perfect working order, but eveything set against a stark white background. It was a little bleak.

I can make A3 size art on my puter again and it doesn't even blink! I can have multiple programs running at the same time and it doesn't balk! Oh computer, how I love you... I don't care the digital tv thingy isn't working at the mo, althought that would be nice if it did.

Oh yeah! Miku pic done in time for Halloween!

Double yeah! The Kodansha International Manga competition ends Dec 31st! That means I have less than 9 weeks to bust out a manga and get international recognition! >>>>>>:DDDDDDDDD good luck with that Planned out a story yesterday. It's looking promising. Ganbare, atashi!

20th
Edit: It was too chuggy. *sigh* wonder when my new comp is coming?
In a few minutes :3 Ima gonna draw a vampire... just watched the first four eps of True Blood. Interesting how they've done the story. No nudity or blood at all. *blinkblink*

18th
Argh! Missed the 7,777th! ... on the other hand, I've got a few more pageveiws than I thought I'd be getting, consider I haven't submitted in a while. Yey! :giggle:

:iconyeahplz::iconyeahplz::iconyeahplz::iconyeahplz::iconyeahplz:

Jack black and Azumanga Daioh... just connect the dots!

If you can find them.

[link] <--Livestream not on now you like totally missed the fun of me not being able to draw a crotch! *sobs*

10th
Okay, so I got the sheriff in Megaton killed, cos I snitched to him about Mr. Burke and they had talkies which resulted in sheriff getting shot in the back. Even though I was hidden attempting to hack Moriarty's computer the whole time, he still knew where I was and told me to watch my back! I thought I was deid fur sure! (Sorry, mixture of accents coming through is cos of the Nac Mac Feegles of Terry Pratchett fame) So then I hacked the computer in a very expert way, using logical deduction and after a few failed attempts at that, just plain guessing and knew I had to go look for my father where the Good Fight fighter Three Dog broadcasts his radio signals of hope. I'm lucky there were some hard-core troopers there, or I would have been killed by the wee beasties known as the Super Mutants. Not to mention the gigantuan one that came along with a "LASER" and killed one of them while I was jumping around in the rubble trying to get a good vantage point. It was over before I knew it had started. Or thrown a grenade or fired a bullet. Don't worry though, I looted the giant green thing, although it didn't have the option to take the fire-hydrant it had been using as a club.

Even after all this, I find the father has done into D.C., which I guess stands for "Don't Comehereyouidiotthere'salotofmonsterswhowillsplatyourbrains.\"

On the other hand, I've discovered that cars lying about - when shot enough - will explode and take anything near it with them, except for me! Better go steal some more Stimpaks... this is Barnacle, signing off.

(I've been playing Fallout 3 again and I think Barnacle is a lovely name for a girl.)


7th
My hand hurts D: The wrong one hurts too.
I've been playing Fallout 3 today :3 That will make me very SPECIAL in someones eyes. Ahaha. Cos special is the attributes system in the game and special also elevates perception of me? Yup. WIll be colouring after dinners.

October, is it?

I'm on retreat at my parents place |D Middle of nowhere with random wildlifes in abundance.

Half the idea was to get off the computer and net, but it turns out I have an OCD surrounding it. The animals get sick of me before I get sick of them :D Also there's a 4 year old poodle thing from across the road that honestly looks like a stuffed toy. He's called Pup. He doesn't act as cute as he looks, which is points in my book. Will have to get a pic of him for later.

I just want to keep drawing~ I would have streamed the pic last night, but I unplugged the net without realising what I'd done. SMRT.

So after colouring *ryuuen's line-art, I've decided to do a few more of other people's lined art to absorb their lining skills too.
=elsevilla's [link] Looks like fun... and I'll have to go thru Ryuu's sketchbook too >:3

September - Edit

Tue Sep 22, 2009, 10:43 PM
[link] <-- livestream soon, got a stupid idea I'm gonna draw up. Probs won't be funny to anyone but myself tho.

23nd
The end is nigh! I should have taken a pic, as it was quite spectaular, the red dust cloud enveloping our city. =frzdragon took a good pic on her journal. x3
Heard about it on tv before it got here X3 A cold front all the way from South Australia, bringing a lot of red-dust with it. So it's cold and smell like the air-con is on. ... We don't have an air-con, so it's interesting to note that air full of dust = air-con smell.

Ended up reading the 2nd book in the Southern Vampire Mysteries instead of drawing yesterday. Just started it to pass the time as I cleaned and defragged my grenades. And computer, started around 4-5... finished at around 10:30. Gawd some of it's funny. Pink tank-top, black lyrca pants? Vampires are written so blandly nowadays. Dangerous, lusty, pretties made of granite. Pffhahah.

22nd
:iconkermityayplz::iconkermityayplz::iconkermityayplz:
HAH! Livestream is go! Only took me 3.5 hours to set up. Kept telling me I was hacking into my own account. Come check out my drawing, er eventually. I have to think of something to draw.

It doesn't seem to lag too bad if I have everything set up to begin with. Lets hope this works! I don't expect many people to be there, but still, should be fun. XD

14th
7,001 pageviiiiiewwwwws! Yatta? SUGGESTIONS FOR A yet another KIRIBAN ANYONE?

Oh and new Haruhi gets scary! ...or I'm just over-reacting. ME OVER-REACT I THINK NOT LOL.

2nd
Ooooooh! Missed my 6,666 pv by one! Does it still count if you're checking your own site? I hope not.

In any case, I must draw something to celebrate the consecutives. Devil seems too obvious a theme and besides that, I've had trouble coming up with a decent concept for it :B

ANYONE GOT SUGGESTIONS FOR THE CELEBRATION OF 6,666? SONJA I'M LOOKING AT YOU CUZ YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO ANSWERS D:<

WhereamI. Ohright. Printed out a lot of my pictures today, in the hopes of compiling a portfolio of sorts. I'm low on money and it's only the start of the fortnight. IT WILL BE WORTH IT! I HAVE TO BELIEEEEEVE! Still need to buy some plastic sleeve folders to display them in and speaking of newsagents, I meant to buy the paper today. SHIST!

I tried submitting something new today, a short story 8D to accompany this picture which may be suffering from texture overload and lack of attention to detail. 83

15th
Hohwow, I'm getting a bit more attention than I'm used to with this new style that I'm trying out. D8 Careful! Give me a bit of encouragement and I'll surf it all the way to overkill :eager:
Big shout out to :iconsundaenight: ~Sundaenight for adding a lot of my art to his collection. :w00t:x3 Aaand I just realised that it's Mario doing the MJ moves in his ava :XD: Cool.


14th
:rofl: I discovered =elsevilla :iconelsevilla: today and watched his youtube video on this here. Which lead to The Making-Of Moni's Geburtstagsbild which is where I got the style for my most recent piece. But I'm not here to simply plug art. I don't know how I got there, but I found a guy calling himself mychonny, doing an impression of G-Dragon. Oh now I know. There were links to pinkviech's tutes on doing make-up and his was how to look like G-Dragon. Not knowing G-Dragon, I thought at first glance it was a new Korean singer, like Rain and wanted to know more. The only vid I actually saw was in english, but that's beside the point. Check out mychonny I think I watched most of the videos. I was lolling. :3 I loved the pocky one. XDDDDD

13th
BEC HAS PINK HAIR. OK MAYBE IT'S PURPLE, BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RED! D:< *RAGES*

On the other hand. FMA 17 and 18 in 20mins. *glomps the upgrade*
