Remember that post I made about currently sitting down and colouring a sketch on Gimp about an hour and a bit ago?

Here's the result:


Turned out slightly better than expected. Gotta love Victorian fashion, where hair was sculpted for maximum flippiness, and sideburns were all the rage. It's a doodle of a character that's kinda been forming in my head for the past couple of months. If anyone is familiar with the play Othello, its the sexy Victorian version of Iago.

Bitchin'.

Despite far too much slacking this week, I'm still two days ahead of schedule on my portfolio pieces. Good stuff.

I'm feeling very irritable today, though. My little sister stole my ipod charger earlier today. When I found out(after noticing it was missing and searching for it), I just said Fine, but put it back in my room right away. Of course now she's gone to bed and it's nowhere to be found. And it's at 20% battery. Normally I wouldn't be terribly happy with her, but I'm feeling very PO'd about it right now.
Maybe I'm working too much. Don't get a day off ‘til next friday…I still haven’t seen Thor, and I was so excited for that to come out.

Drew an eye liner moustache and monicle on my face today for the hell of it, and took photos of self in the garden drinking out of a china tea cup and saucer while wearing my chimney sweep hat. Hello new facebook profile picture.

What of it?

Well, my programming has lurched a bit forward. I'm back at the level I was at before I quit (due to cerebral meltdown)… I have sprites that can shoot on screen. Now I have to organize my code or my brains will melt down again…

As for the game I'm planning on making, I'm still trying to decide on either making Minna (Magiversity's main character) the only playable character or to include other DD characters as both PCs and cameos. As for the story… some star shaped aliens are trying to take over the various Drunkduck universe and replace the comics with cheap knockoffs starring themselves. So you might see a mecha piloting star creature with pink hair as a boss armed with a flame rifle, a star creature attempting to impersonate Skoolmunkee, star creatures posing as valkyries, and two more Star Creature bosses impersonating the Viking dieties in an organic stage taking place inside someone's head… :)

Yes… the word “organic” is linked to the TV Tropes page titled “womb level”…

Hopefully if I can keep this up (IF…) I will be able to create the editors that will make creating shooter type games easier. I'm also studying other games to see how objects behave so I can create the so called “bullet hell” shooter… essentially a game where you have to dodge an entire screen full of bullets. Unlike the others, though the hitbox for the player won't be tiny… it'll be as close to the player sprite size as much as possible. I really hate those bullet hell shooters where the hitbox for the player sprite is only 1 pizel wide…

wow… I'm on my fourth cup of coffee… 30 minutes 'til I have to leave for work… the stress of payday tomorrow is getting to me. O_O

Last night on my way home from a friend's, I saw a crashed car, a burning building, and a bunch of emergency service workers.

I only recently found out what that was all about.

When they say the guy's getaway drive was short they really mean it. He crashed the car maybe two or three houses from the fire.

Also, to add to his stupidity; there's a police station literally on the same road.

Pronounced “indra-pilly” though it seems, so not as funny.

On a sewing kick this weekend. I'm finally going to put my new silver buttons on my pelisse. But first I cut all the pewter ones off and sewed them to the dolmen jacket. Up till 6am sewing on 32 buttons. Now it has a grand total of 82 buttons on it- 80 on the front and one on either shoulder! …Didn't really add that much to the look though. It dodn't look worse, but it doesn't look that different either -_-
Ah well, another 48 to go for the pelisse. kill me now.

Woke up today and I'm still grumpy. What the heck.

THIS IS MY PAGE, AND NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME.

I haven't done my college homework in like 3 weeks. It's a “do it at your own pace” type of class. except i can't do a lot at one time, as this is a class ran by the air force. And it is drull. It is absolutely mind numbing.
I still have two months tho.

In case you don't know. Another eruption just started, yesterday evening, in my country.

The culprit, this time, is the Grímsvötn crater; one of the most active fissure in the country but it has erupted over 10 times now, in the past 100 years.

Here's a picture taken couple of hours after the eruption started:



Normally, a Grímsvötn eruption is a rather small one. The 1998 and the 2004 eruptions only lasted couple of days, for example. However, this one has now been calculated to be over 10 times more powerful then the one we had last year, when the dreaded “unpronounceable” volcano lit up. Last time this particular volcano did anything that strong was in 1873, and that one lasted for 7 months.

Naturally, the British are concerned about not being able to fly their planes and are closely monitoring the predicted ash-cloud path.



As you can clearly see, they have discovered that we're obviously planing a very ingenious invasion on our Nordic brethren, and we'll be establishing a beach head on the opposite sides of the region very shortly, thus quickly enveloping their defenses.

And that's bed time for me.

I've fallen in love with these. They're text choose your own adventure and pretty clever. The dragon and romance ones are my favorites, the other two are okay…too much war mumbo jumbo though.

Because my face is frightening in large amounts. Just kidding, it will be soon, but I can't decide between it and two others where I'm holding a cup of tea.

I'm ticked off today beacuse last week was my exams, and the school's tyrannical Librarian confiscated my headphones which I had plugged into my school laptop so I could study in reletive peace, and gave me a detention for it, even though, as far as I'm aware, and everyone else including the teachers are aware, that isn't even a rule that can be broken, as I AM allowed to have them. She gave the me the detention on thursday Lunch, I rocked up to where its held, and waited. I waited twenty minutes, and no one came, I didn't have lunch and I missed out on valuable last minute cramming before my exam.

Why do librarians believe they are a respected member of staff? They're not, they run a goddamn library, they do not nede to come up with their own rules.

I'm still pissed, because I have to go up to the detention room yet AGAIN, today, because I “missed” the other one even though I had exams (wow). And I'm pretty damn sure no one is going to be there again and I'm going to get even more pissed then I already am.

Lawd, I cannot wait until I leave school. :/

by my senior year i just started skipping detention. Nothing ever came of it. I'd just be like “oh i forgot” and then i'd be rescheduled, and then someone “would die” and i'd miss it again. oh sigh. the good ol days. It's been 7 years since i graduated. I feel old.

MY PAGE DAMMIT. just thought i'd remind you.

Yep, I've pretty much decided “Fuck it” and won't go. EH, not like they can do anything against me.

The ash cloud cometh.




…gonna be the last time I see a blue sky for the next day or two, depending on wind and volcanic activity.

I just raged myself awake. I had a dream that it was 1 april 2012. Which means i can crosstrain. i applied to retrain, and the guy on the other end of the phone said they had just changed the policy the day before. I couldn't crosstrain at all. I started yelling and screaming obscenities, and then i punched thru a desk. I woke up with my heart racing, and feeling really angry.

This thing means a lot to me, and has pretty much already made me decide to get out, if they keep acting this way.

Poor product. It looks just like normal rain clouds.

normal rain clouds that drop volcanic ash and cause havoc for airlines.

I was saying in the sense, that at least storm clouds are beautiful. not just airlines, but all planes.

So cold. tired, but can't sleep. i'm still fuming about my future dream.

I looked at this and thought Austria-Hungary? Of course oz would use a 1911 map of Europe.

1911, three more years and the lights will go out across Europe never to be relit in their lifetimes.

Now that was a real End of the World. The summer of 1914 really was the endtimes for an entire world like we've been trying to imagine ever since. But no world we've known can ever end so completely and irrecoverably as the world of 1914 was ended by the Great War.

Or I should stop reading Barbara Tuchman. ;)

I'm trying to put together a second guest for the ‘conventions’ quackcast (we've already got MrRiot back) but I'm a bit stumped as to who might make a really good guest. We can already talk about merch and marketing yourself but I think what we might be missing is other ways people could participate/raise their profile too, like being a guest, or doing one of the presentations or something. I'm really not familiar with who on DD might have done a bunch of cons. Any ideas people? I need to line someone up in the next couple of days.

Sorry Skool, wish I could help, but I have even less knowledge of anyone on DD going to cons frequently, which actually isn't helpful at all in the slightest.

I try to give my chips to the disabled seagulls at the beach, except half the time they aren't disabled, they just act it and con you into giving them a free meal, like some kind of crafty hobo. A crafty hobo who is very good at pretending he only has one leg so you throw food at him, the craftiest sort of hobo.

They must get together and plan this or something, in secret disabled seagull conferences, where they discuss tactis for obtaining chips from various wealthy strangers who are trying to eat various cooked potato snacks in peace…

ugh… finally woke up after a very bad day… and it's 10PM right now. I guess I should wait ‘til the crack of dawn to take care of a problem that nearly cost me my life… Yep. Right when I’m slowing down behind a truck as the light turns red, my rear brakes fail. Panic ensues when you suddenly feel the firmness of your brake pedal give way. Luckily my front brakes still work and while I could go out again right now I'd rather not take the risk. Fortunately it was payday so I went out and bought the brake cylinder repair kit (for the wheel) appropriate for my vehicle. Installing it isn't hard. Removing the tire and hub cover will not be THAT easy though. Lots of physical labor involved in that one. Then I have to bleed the brake system to take out any air that may have gotten into the system (because if I don't the brakes will feel very mushy for a long while and you don't get enough brake power from that).

eh… I can probably do some short distance driving. Especially now since the roads aren't very crowded, so I can afford to go slow and steady and use gear assisted braking to ensure my safety. Just can't do too much of it though since there's a risk of going out of control even at slow speed while only one set of my brakes are working (and the car jerks to one side when I do brake) :)

Oh… is there anyone out there who's used Digipro drawing tablets? I found one. It's pretty cheap compared to the Wacoms I've also found. How good are those tables for you? Only thing that irks me about them is that the pen requires batteries. I guess I'm too used to the Wacom tablet I had… when it was working…

@Lonne ask about it in the tips and tricks forum, there've been few enquiries like that.

So it's pretty cold and I'm going to bed early cause I feel lile shit… must be getting sick. Anyway, I needed an old t-shirt for bed, but since I threw out all my old crappy stuff I had to look really hard. It turns out that most of my old t-shirts that I used to wear a lot were all made by surf companies, they're all covered in surf slogans… that was all I used to find that fit me and look good, but I never realised they were ALL surf things!

No wonder people used to think I was a surfer dude! I just thought it had to do with the long blonde hair and skinny build, couldn't think of anything else- with me being scared of big waves and all I found it a little strange.

Yeah, I know you mentioned them before but none of those guys have logged in since Oct-Dec of last year and none of them have any comics currently running here. Since we've had a couple people lately who are less prominent on DD than they used to be, I'd kinda like to get someone who participates on the site a little more for this one. :]

Our sky has been gray since Sunday, but fortunately it's been windy below the cloud line so it hasn't come over my town… but you can't rely on the weather around here :/
