Various stuff from a Late Night Journal

General
Revamped my elephantaur zoid, overall much happier with this version, though i may continue to tweak the model a bit here and there. Have decided the gray schematic background is the one I'll be using for the model sheets, and the blue schematic background for the stat sheets for each model. Later on I want to try and do some action scenes using the models I've built so far, rather then just static poses.
Think i got the text blurring issue fixed finally. Had to dig around in the settings for how Gimp saves stuff as jpg. I tried the png format as was recommended, but it still tended to blur the text too much for my liking.
In other news, Guardians comes out next week, and I'm definitely gonna be grabbing a copy, I hope there's a nice collector's set with a bunch of extras for the movie :) Has anyone read the books? how close was the movie to the books it's based off of?
I've been watching Transformers Prime, and overall i kinda like the show, though i do wish that the producers didn't feel obligated to throw stereotypical human characters into the shows. The girl is just so obnoxious :P I do like the designs for the Autobots though. It's interesting to see that the creators have basically pulled characters from the various series and kinda smashed them together for this series. Not quite sure just when Transformers Prime is supposed to take place, and if it's supposed to be connected to any particular continuity or off in it's own...
Lastly, for now anyway, gonna try and pick up Golden Sun: Dark Dawn with my next paycheck. I really enjoyed the two games for the GBA, and look forward to this new version. Thought it was kinda neat how in the second game you could port over all your characters from the first, and you actually ran into them a few times before they joined your party fully. Curious to see if GS:DD will follow in those footsteps.
