SNIPPY: FLYING DAYENTRY 3647:SNIPPY: FLYING DAY1 year ago in Personal More Like This
November something something.
I've got to come up with a better system for telling what day it is. Maybe I could scrawl numbers on the back of my shoe? Nah, that sounds like something silly that Pilot would do.
I'm currently carrying a calendar that says 2012 on it, but I am pretty sure that these days aren't correct anyway to our year and Captain keeps scribbling things in the margins whenever I get distracted enough for the calendar to be snatched out of my hands. I found the calendar more or less intact and it's kinda impressive that it lasted from way back in 2012. It must have held some sort of personal importance to it's owner to seal it away in a plastic container with words "the Mayans were wrong, trust no-one!"
I've been trying to keep track of how old I am, but I keep forgetting to check off every day in the calendar or maybe captain is messing off with me by erasing my checkmarks.
Something tells me I shouldn't be telling Captain about my birthday anyway. I would
Technical skills vs. impulse + sketch books/blogs1.) How do you find a balance between acquiring technical skills (anatomy, perspective, using light sources correctly, etc.) and raw passion/emotion/impulse when making art? Do you think one might be more important than the other? Why or why not?Technical skills vs. impulse + sketch books/blogs2 months ago in Personal More Like This
2.) How would you feel if people wanted to look through your sketch book/blog or old art? Is it something you don't mind showing to the public, or is it something you'd feel very self conscious about? Are you ever curious about the sketch books/blogs and old art of other artists?
---
1.) Technical skills vs. impulse is something I've been struggling with for years. If I worry too much about technical skills, I spend way too much time redrawing a picture just to get the anatomy to look right, and the picture usually ends up losing its "flavor." On the other hand, if I draw purely on emotion and impulse, I will often quickly end up stopping because I can't help but worry about things such as, "omg the legs can't bend like this; people will think

Piglet: It's the most peculiar thing - for the longest time, I thought Rabbit didn't like her.
Pooh: You know, Piglet, sometimes people care too much… I think it's called 'love'…
Piglet: Oh! Do you think we should tell Rabbit?
Pooh: Don't worry, I believe he already knows…
I'm sorry I found this on tumblr on my lunch brake.... and I am literally in tears over this.
I love Rabbit so much and this is why.

02. Cold evening (deadline extended)Doors popped open and three people entered the room. The priest you have seen before and behind him two others - a mature looking woman and a tall man - clearly grown-up cumimis. A rare sight, so you stopped talking and waited for them to say something.02. Cold evening (deadline extended)4 months ago in Personal More Like This
Priest: ''I hope you've gotten to know each other a little bit better. We, or, actually, those two behind me, have finished preparing dinner and the rooms you will be staying in, so now we can talk a bit. My name is Mathew Redmill and I'm the head priest of this place, I will be teaching you some things from time to time, but other than that - refer to these two with any questions you might have.''
He then goes to one sofa and sits down, clearly indicating that that is all he's going to say.

New Icon Mini ContestSo, we're about to enter a new mission soon. One that has a new theme: "sacrifice"New Icon Mini Contest4 months ago in Personal More Like This
If you're interested in competing to have your icon be the next icon for this group, please leave your entry here!
Bonus points for having Micle (Grand Kec) and one of the yellow-eyed Zoroark from the current story... unless you have a better creative vision, of course! Animated is preferred. You can make neat little small animations with Photoshop, or even put images into Flash to make them. A good tip is to make art 3-4x larger than it will be in the icon, but don't get too detail heavy. Constantly zoom out to make sure it looks good.
Only requisite is using the logo from the doujin and current avatar: http://purplekecleon.deviantart.com/art/PMD-e-Doujin-2-318457750
It can be in any color.
Time limit is: when I find one I really want to use

A cyndaquil named Flint (which looks a lot like Niko) and a mienfoo with an oddly familiar-looking turban.
Of course, I have nothing to complain about as I have no copyrights or whatever, but the similarities are kind of very obvious (to the point where I though that mienfoo was, in fact, my Flint).

I truly wish I had time to reply to the more substantial comments on the film, but there are just far too many at this stage. I promise I had read all of them up to a certain point, and will read the new ones as asoon as I have time.
It brings me great joy (like, so much joy - words of elation are pretty devalued these days on the internet, but so, so much joy,) that you all like the film. This is what I want to do in life, and to have everyone like it as much as they have puts me at a loss for words.
All I can say is I look forward to the next film I make, which I have just started writing.
Storyline (a bit of info)Storyline (a bit of info)7 months ago in Personal More Like ThisThis group will follow a storyline and all events will be a part of it. Your individual role-plays can and will influence the way things go, so you are strongly encouraged to keep a log file. Keeping a regularly updated log file in whatever form you like( da-journal, txt submission or doc), will earn you experience after a major event ends.
The time-flow in this group will be extremely slow however - so that you won't need to rush neither in RPs, nor in submissions. :3

CRIES YESSo, I went to check my Pokemon GBA today on my white, after having a female Turtwig offered for several months. And I got a LEVEL 100 FEMALE ESPEON for it, and I know it wasn't a rare-candied/hacked as a fact (the special defense is too high to be possible unless there were some EVs stuck on it). And it has high IVs, too. (Can't get an exact calculation though, since I don't know the EVs so I can't calculate on a calculator or anything. fff)CRIES YES8 months ago in Personal More Like This

I'm really sorry about how much my activity has just gone downhill. Just haven't been getting as much done lately as I should be. I've been advancing slowly on my work, and yet I can't seem to get any of my projects done.
But anyways, I've been working more on 3D programs and models now, instead of digital or traditional art, and studying a bit of animation... not a lot, but some of it. Also working on humans more.
Though, the main reason I've been so inactive lately, is because of school... and a certain person I met a while ago that I've been spending too much time with aha... so, I'm doing a lot of rl things instead of talking on the internet with people. It's nice, but yeah, I miss a lot of you guys at the same time. I've been really happy lately with everything. It's kinda weird.
How have you all been lol? :I

I tubed my queens in August sometime, and while I was away got the opportunity to have a go at designing and making ant nests. Only managed to get two of them for now, but the queens will go into hibernation soon anyway so it shouldn't be an issue. I've always wanted to cultivate colonies so it's pretty exciting for me! Hoping the first workers will arrive soon so I can start feeding and try out the nests. It's fascinating stuff, I often find myself just staring at the queens...
...moving on.
Still waiting for the E6 folders to reopen so I can finally submit the real entries (read as: have a reason to actually finish them). Motiv

I don't even know what the story is this time.
Something about...Yen Sid...blah blah blah I have a keyblade...blah blah blah Riku's haircut sucks.
So why do I like it so much?
Well, for one thing, I love virtual pets.
Ever since I got my first Tamagotchi in '97, I've been obsessed with the idea of raising and caring for electronic pets. I get very attached to them, too. I name them. I love them. Not as much as my real pets by a long shot, but a great deal more than I probably should.
And for another thing, I love Sora. He's one of my favorite video game characters, which is QUITE a feat for him, trust me. I see a lot of me in him - we're both a little on the stupid side, definitely a wee bit naive, and I also grew up on a beach (technically, an island, actually!) xD
And now Sora has virtual pets.
My life?
Complete.

So it turns out this TWEWY thing is just a rerelease of the original, on the iPad or something like it.
That's nothing new for me, so I can stop worrying (and also fapping, darn).
Enjoy TWEWY, iPad/Pod...whatever, users, it is a VERY good game.
Although I'll bet Square will add "new content" for you, and it'll be just as dumb as things added to KH:Final Mixes. xD
Well, I'm kind of relieved. No sequel. PHEW.
Dodged that bullet.
Oh and I feel safe saying all this because it's been confirmed by the fanboy boyfriend, and he is never* wrong.
*He was wrong once. It was funny.
But he usually isn't.
