Summer Summer Summer






Weeeeell I accidentally poured water on my tablet and then it short circuited. I still need to phone Wacom and see if I can get it fixed. Hopefully it wont cost more than buying a new one. Either way its frustrating. I've learned not to drink anything at the computer desk now. I've been borrowing Bryan's from time to time so I've been doing a bit of it here and there. Mainly I just do my painting at work but I can't show you that stuff :P I'm playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced 2 right now. It's quite good but I picked hard mode because I thought since I've been playing tactics games almost my whole gaming life that I'd be able to take it on. I thought it would be harder actually but instead of it being hard it's just plain frustrating. Battles take a long time and they deal a lot of damage to me. I dont regret doing hard mode though, it's still fun. I'm almost done it and then I'm on to Square Enix's other new DS game "The World Ends with You". Gonna be gewd.

By the way, Wall-E is amazing... I want one...

Intahnet

I've got more around that need more tweaking. Also most of the drawing and painting I've been doing is for work which has been great by the way!

LEVEL UP!!!

Good hustle team.

I managed to make it into both the Street Fighter Tribute Art Book and the Pepper Art Book! That was kind of unexpected to be honest. I sure am honoured though! Udon requests that you don't put your Street Fighter image up until after it's been published which is some time in July I believe...

Bwah?

Easter

"From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling Elijah."

Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. The rest said, "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him."
And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all. that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son of God!"
-Matthew 27: 45-54 (NIV)


"After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him..."
-Matthew 28: 1-9 (NIV)


Happy Easter!
He is risen indeed!

100 On Hold

Hey guys. I've decided to put the 100 characters thing on hold until this school year is over mainly because it's taking up a lot of my time and is getting in the way of school work like my group project. I honestly did pick a bad time to start a thing like this. I've been having a blast doing them though and I wish I did have the time and energy to concentrate on them more in my free time. I definitely do want to start up again come May.

Character #20 - Ukah An ancient god of the earth. Ukah granted all who brought him soil and fertilizer good luck. Whenever one of his feet hit the ground, a flower would sprout. When Ukah was pleased with what a he had received he stomped his feet with joy and let out a cry that was said to have been one of the most beautiful sounds you could possibly hear. Sometimes Ukah appeared at funerals and took the deceased body straight to the earth and then blessed the family with a flower that would never die. Most Ukah flowers are long since gone. They were either destroyed or hidden so they are very rare. Ukah flowers are said to possess incredible power.

Character #21 - Zelbiss Regardless of Zelbiss' race's ear size, they have better hearing than over 95% of the creatures in the galaxy. Zelbiss is a bum and robs from technology stores and eats out of trash cans most of the time but lately he's been doing pretty good. He's been getting hired by a pack of rebels against the empire to eaves drop on the enemy. His ragged appearance and low social status allow him to easily get close to people. He receives a wealthy sum in return for his efforts.

Switching it up!

A friend of mine brought up the fact that the 100 characters was an exercise to vary up mediums so I did these 2 with pencil and paper.

Character #18 - Leos
A regular in the coliseum. Leos has practically become a celebrity. He doesn't only have the muscles to smash his opponent to bits but has the brains to outwit them too! Sometimes he can lose his calm though which I can see not looking too good when he gets up in the higher ranks against others who are just as skilled or even more so than him.

Character #19 - PhionaA bimbo genie. Often misinterprets wishes leading to comical situations.

EDIT: They felt a little bland so I did some Photoshop stuff to them :P

Also...
If you like techno... And game music... And the sound of a gameboy... Then you're in luck!!! There's a community of musicians that I stumbled upon recently who make music using a gameboy to get that classic 8bit quality and some of the music is really cool! If you're into that kind of thing, go check it out!

Sleeping in is Nice

Character #16 - Captain Pallock
With an IQ of 52, Pallock, in his mother's basement, leads a brigade of dogs in hopes of conqeuring unclaimed territory in the vast, endless, deep blue ocean.

Character #17 - Ivan
Ivan grew up in a rough neighborhood and was part of a gang. After deciding that the lifestyle was unfulfilling, he left and pursued his passion for music. He keeps his tattoos from his troubled days around for nostalgic sake. He says he doesn't regret being a hoodlum and likes to keep his marks as a way of showing who he is. Now he is the most popular amongst the flock for his heart swelling ballads that capture the attention of every lass in town. His trusty guitar has never failed him when it comes to attracting a beauty he has his eye on. Some say it is embedded with a magical spell. I just think he's really good.

Munkeeee

Character #15 - Ringoh
Riding his faithful childhood friend dinosaur across dangerous turf, Ringoh seeks out challengers who are strong and willing to fight. he wants to assemble a rag tag team of fighters to rebel against the empire that took over his home. Whoever challenges him and wins can join. I guess that would make Ringoh the worst fighter amongst everyone he gathers in the end. No one said he was smart.

The Break Begins...

Quite the batch here... I ended up not making it undead week after all :P

Character #10 - Zombie Earl
No one knows why Earl is still around. He died of a heart attack but at his wake, he came back to life but without a pulse so he's still technically dead. Now Earl walks around town in his corpse decaying but just won't die. He decided he may as well just continue life and still works at the gas station. He has become a popular tourist attraction.

Character #11 - Marvin
He's a prototype for a new breed of super robot soldiers. The skull on his visor is made to instill fear into his foes. All in all though the project was HUGE failure putting the entire organization out of business. Due to a glitch after one of the scientists had thrown one of his pieces out of shear rage, Marvin became kind and not a killing machine like he was made to be. The scientists were forced to throw Marvin out but one had a plan to turn him on and have him attack the world out of revenge. When the scientist turned Marvin on though, he wasn't acting normal at all. The scientist just left in disappointment and frustration and now Marvin walks the earth learning to be a good citizen. He's extremely akward.

Character #12 - Zard (hahaha laaaame name)
Zard was a necromancer and wielded many spells and was a mastery of chaotic magic. Many feared Zard and no one would dare confront him on any manner. One person found a spell scroll though which was able to take advantage of his only wakness which was daylight. The young wizard took the scroll up to Zard's lair and asked him for a challenge. The young wizard egged him on and taunted him until Zard became so angry he casted a spell to turn himself into a dragon so he could slaughter the wizard. Zard could not cast spells as a dragon and the young wizard knew this so he casted the spell from the scroll which was to make any one person maintain it's current shape for the next 24 hours. He then turned himself into a worm and burrowed deep underground until daylight when Zard couldn't turn back and had no where to hide. Zard was killed instantly by the sun.

Character #13 - Pauly-arms
Once a mobster leader, Pauly was turned on by his crew and drowned by the hands of his own brother. Pauly's soul wandered the earth for 10 years filled with hatred and desired vengeance. Eventually though, Pauly came across a demon and made a deal so that he could become alive again to kill his brother but had to be transformed. He was given the head of an octopus on his old body. Pauly-Arms (as he is called now because of his tentacles) is now back in the gangster game and is killing his brother at all costs. (ya I know it's kind of like Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbeans)

Character #14 - Borp
Borp is part of the Theewaps. Basically a cross bread between a monkey and a buffalo. They were what monkeys were before they had arms. Somehow the buffalo gene was erased completely. I don't really know how. Borp was doing the annual Theewap festive dance around Stone Henge one night and suddenly, lightening struck and BOOM, he traveled through to present day. Here is Borp looking baffled trying to make sense of what just happened. Who knows how long he'll last in this time period.

No more weekly themes, it just doesn't work...

Reanimation Sensation!

This week's theme for myself is undead!

Character #8 - Heretic Leon
Leon was part of the royal guard but had plans to assassinate his king. After being caught and was going to be hung for conspiracy Leon sold is soul for the "Touch of Death Pact". The agreement he made with the sorceress was that if he killed only the king with his powers, he would then become normal but be her slave. He would be able to become mist, read minds and kill whatever he touched. Being a fervent participant of the rebellion, Leon hastily agreed. He gained his powers and after killing his wife and child by accident, he went insane. He killed the king and countless others in a brutal massacre but since he killed more than just the king which was not part of the deal, he was forced to wander the earth for eternity.

Character #9 - Dahl
Dahl is a long since deceased shaman who embodies himself within a tree once every 100 years for the "Council of the Ancients" to discuss worldly issues. They manipulate things within the shadows to acquire balance amongst the dark and lights forces of their regions. Nothing goes by them without notice. Dahl is in charge of keeping the forests intact and peaceful. The skulls he carries on his staff are of his dead body's and of his father's. The crest on the other staff is the symbol of the "Council of Ancients".
