So I'm drawing this group pic... It's clean. There are five people in it. Two are already being made. WHO WILL THE REMAINING 3 BE?

Since no one cares. I'm done streaming. I'm not going to bother trying to share shit with people if all it does is leave me in an empty room.


I'll just do nothing instead.

I told my mom about the gay. She was a little sad but it went well. FUCKING HAPPY NOW. LIVESTREAM AT 12:30 AM.

I really do.

so,  local-shop had the wonderful idea of teaming up to do collaborative commissions. Basically, He'll do linework and I'll color. Given both of our past histories with /34, I think the result will be very interesting.

If you're interested, please don't hesitate to contact me or Local via note to get info on pricing and shit.

haha, interesting...

After watching the entirety of Battlefield Earth tonight, I have discovered a new derogatory slang word to describe terrible things or people. The word? TRAVOLTING.

Battlefield Earth was travolting.

... all nuked.

I missed you too, FA.

PS - if you uploaded something awesome in the last month or so and really want me to see it, just message me below.

Happy 3 month anniversary,  rankwolf.... You're my #1!!!

All the craziness at work.... is over. Had a lengthy talk with my manager. Truces were made. bridges repaired.

So in all likelihood, I'm going to quit/lose my job.

would anyone be up for commissions? like 5$ a pop or something?

I'll work out details if anyone is serious.

Of course, I might just be talking to myself...

From the perspective of the amazing  rankwolf


"Since my last journal a lot has happened, both good and Bad.

First the Good: on Wednesday morning I made the three hour trek to Rhode Island to go see my mate  akun. The ride went pretty smooth, but the hole time I had butterflies in my stomach (no i didn't eat any). I guess I was just excited because I was going to be spending the whole day with Akun and his friends. So I get there and my god did he give an epic hug, I didn't want to let go, (so I didn't, I'm actually still there lol). After saying hi to his mom we were off to Best Buy to replace his car stereo just just got stolen ( http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/809657/ ). After some shopping around he found one he liked and scheduled for it to be installed at 2 O'clock, being 10:30 am this meant we has time to kill, and Kill it we did, (in the face with a glock if you must know) We went to the Mall and Akun pre-ordered Tekken 6 for PS3 (he got the PS3 version so he could play with  ukent so now there is no chance of him playing me on xbox which is good cause I suck at fighter games :P ). Then we got some awesome hot dogs for lunch. Then we went to Newbury Comics to find something and Akun bought me some Super Awesome Fantastic Happy Fun Time Fizzy Fruit Drinks (I don't remember the name but they were Japanese, so its possible), and they were awesome! Then it was back to Best Buy to wait, We played some Rock Band, then went over to the Apple section to browse the web. Akun had to hold me back from jumping up and correcting the Best Buy Rep from giving some customer the wrong info. Then we got the word to go and bring Akun's car around to get the stereo installed. But before we left the computers we left FA up and It's So Cold in the D playing. After they finished up we headed back to Akun's place. Even though we really didn't do much, I was happy we just got to hang out with each other, which we really don't get to do enough.

Then it was off to meet with Akun's friends at their place. We pretty much spent the rest of the day there, just hanging out watching TV and eating pizza, and let me tell you, IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!! His friends are so cool!!!! Even though they have only know Akun was gay for a month or so they were totally cool with us! It was so relieving to be able to hug and kiss each other in front of them! This was huge for me, because one on my major concerns about coming out was that I would always have to be private with my affections! I really am thankful for them being so awesome (hell, they even yelled at me for apologizing about kissing him to much!). After watching David Bowie's Bulge star in Labyrinth and some Family Guy we all decided to call it a night. We pushed together their couches to make to make an awesome fort/bed (that was also amazingly comfortable). Then it was time for some EPIC snuggling! and OMFG was it EPIC!!!! it was so epic that we made god pissed (he throw rain, thunder and lightning at us). All-in-all I'm going to have to say that this was the best day in my life!!!!!!!.

And then today happened. After some more snuggling we got up and got dressed, when my phone rang. It was my brother calling me to inform me that my Mom told my dad I was gay. While I was going to tell him soon this was to soon, and not how I wanted it to happen. Although the news did seem a little better than than I would have expected, as he wasn't mad but just upset, it was still enough to ruin my day. The rest of the day was spent eating lunch and saying a long good bye, then it was time for me to leave, or so I thought, apparently when I got out of my car the other day i some how left the interior lights on and completely drained the battery. Luckily Akun came to my rescue and was able to provide me a jump start. Then came the lonesome ride home though pouring rain.

Once I got home I had to face my dad. And it went better than I expected but, the said thing though is that he basically refused to change his views on it, and his solution is to simply ignore it. It's sad to think that he is willing to go though life with out ever wanting to know about his sons personal life because he is unwilling to change. While he still loves me and isn't going to kick me out of the house, I can definitely see us becoming more distant in the future. Which is very sad because we have a good relationship, but to be honest if my choice was to make my dad happy by ignoring my life or ignoring my dad and living my life, I'd have to go with the latter, I just hope it doesn't have to come to that.

But for know the battle is over, I'm out and there is no going back. It's funny how not even 6 months I would not have seen this coming. I'm just glad that I can finally start to live my life. I just want to thanks everyone here for all their support, there is now way I could have done this alone.  akun you gave me more support than you could ever imagine, if It wasn't for you this would have been way to much for me to handle.  Ukent and  rioaka you guys are the first gay couple I ever met, you guys made me comfortable with with my own thoughts, plus you're just good friends.  theworldfamousic you're just a cool guy and it's just really cool to met a random person on the internet who is willing to read though my boring journals.  camohusky thanks for just being a cool kid who I can talk to. (and yes I know, that just read as a Academy Award acceptance speech, but I really needed to thank you guys)."

I really couldn't have written this better myself about today, plus I wanted others to hear about Rank's recent troubles. Please, everyone do me a foavor and go give  rankwolf a hug and some support. Thanks!

oh, Google. You never fail me.

The first poster is beyond a pedophile. Dripping wet bodies? Are you serious, dawg?

It gets extra points because much like the "Injun" boy in the thread, I am uncircumcised. Hahaha.

This week has been nothing short of absolutely amazing. I've met and talked to so many industry professionals, from game designers to magazine editors, it's all been really amazing, and especially humbling. Everyone I've talked to here at E3 has been so kind, and interested in talking that I'm really bummed today is the last day. My plan from here is to take tons of photos of myself, and collect as many business cards as possible. I am cool enough to have forgotten mine, so I'm handing out my senior editor Andy's instead. Also, I'm going to talk to EGM founder Steve Harris in a little over an hour, which in and of itself is an honor. That magazine help direct where I want to go with my life, so I am looking forward to that. Well, I gotta get off to write some actual articles. It's been nonstop work since Sunday, starting at 6 am every day. But I absolutely love it. Even if it means 1 meal a day.See you all soon!

That's right kiddies. In less than 24 hours, yours truly will be shipped out to the Beautiful(?) Downtown L.A. area to attend what is arguably the biggest gaming event of the year. It's my first time away from the East coast, and my first time on a plane for longer than 3 hours. But whatever.


I have interviews, conferences, and demonstrations lined up with so many big name publishers and developers, it's fantastic. Besides the big 3, I've got time scheduled for Konami, Bethesda, (sigh) South peak, Ubisoft, and many, many more. I'll be feeding the latest and greatest new to www.gamesabyss.com, so check that site for everything going on. I may post here too, but Gamesabyss gets first dibs.

See ya guys soon!

So, the wonderful  Rankwolf was kind enough to inform me that today marks my one year anniversary as a fur. Hooray! I've learned quite a lot about art in the short time i've been drawing, and I look forward to many more years of awesomeage and furry madness. Thanks everyone for not shunning me away!

I will be going, who else is?

I'll be a Hunter from L4d if everything goes as planned. or not.

So... me and  rankwolf met up again yesterday, and what an amazing day it was. He came over some time mid day, and we hung at my place for a little bit. then we were off to iMax to see star trek. Now, I've never been in an imax, so it was pretty exciting for me. We sat in the back of the still reasonably bright theater and did our best to hide our gayness. After the film, we went to visit a few of my friends at work. SURPRISE. a new employee. EVEN BIGGER SURPRISE. he's there to basically replace everyone there. I tried to be nice to the guy, opening up conversations, talking about the basic way things work, but he was just such a fucking douche tool,  rankwolf basically told him he'd punch him in the face if he was a customer.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

After those shenanigans, we went to eat. yum yum yum italian subs are awesome. Then, we umm... &&*&*&*%^^* and it was fantastic. i again fell asleep in his arms and snored loudly. Morning came to fast (like me ) and these were was more love to be had. then showers. then we had breakfast with the only straight guy on earth who is cool with hanging with secretly gay secret furries. and he actually talked furry with us. yes, he's that awesome.

too soon after, it was time to part ways.

next meet is a cKy concert. on the 13th! boooyah!

 rankwolf, you are fantastic. I really don't deserve someone as devoted as you. you rock.

 rankwolf was having a small party for one of his friends, and asked if I would like to go. I agreed, and on sat morning I made the three hour drive. after an unusual police stop in which I got a ticket for not being a psychic, I made it to  rankwolf relatively safe. I was pretty upset, but it only took a few moments with him to make me completely forget about spongebob asshole cop. We got to really hold each other for the first time. we (gasps) kissed for the first time. As we lay there in each others arms, just relaxing, time decided it was gonna disappear. We had a party to go to. so we got back into our straight guy suits and went to meet his friends.

That was also fantastic.

After a few moments of silence I seemed to click pretty well with them all. They had a small camp fire thing going, where we all sat around discussing movies, music, and how much cKy kicks ass. after a drunken wiffle ball game and even drunker rock band session, it was time to retire.

That's when the night began.

I know  rankwolf is shy about details, so I'll keep it basic.

Shower. together. passionate kissing. &%$#!#. Boom goes the dynamite. after that, We lay there just talking, the only thing being worn were smiles. THEN ROUND TWO. Then like a bunch of Americans, McDonalds was had, followed by the watching of a bunch of shitty TV horror movies.

We fell asleep in each others arms, completely naked, as night became day.

this morning led to more shower fun, food, and a movie, that was too packed to take off our straight guy suits.


THANK YOU  rankwolf. You're number one to me. Even if things go sour between us, you will always, ALWAYS have a place in my heart. I owe you so much,
