Improved coloring technique! :o
Posted 15 years agoI've made a discovery by messing around with Gimp that has resulted in an amazingly easy way to render fur with careful use of a blur tool. The result is extremely fuzzy looking characters for only a bit of extra work beyond what I normally do. I will likely be going back and reworking this picture using said technique since it will probably look even more amazing!
Here is a sample of something I just finished on which I discovered the technique. I will be coloring a select few commissions
got a long time back involving our characters and posting them up within a few days depending how my hands hold out coloring with a mouse.

Posted 15 years agoIt's about time I put up a new journal so no one thinks I died on the trip to Texas.
I left on the 16th at about 2:00pm and the driving was uneventful until my first gas station stop. I selected a gas type and placed the nozzle into the tank, and the handle sort of stuck and nothing came out. I was messing with the handle for quite a while before I finally gave up. The thing had stayed stuck down and not doing anything. I removed the nozzle from the tank and turned, and the second I began turning the nozzle suddenly began spraying gasoline in a torrent, and I didn't succeed in stopping it until over 3 dollars worth of gas had spilled out. Miraculously, not a single drop got onto me or my car. I made sure they didn't charge me and managed to use a different pump perfectly normally.
A good bit later in the early evening I was relaxing at a rest stop in the mountains and came to realize my keys seemed to be quite trapped in the ignition. No amount of abuse was removing that key. As a result the car was impossible to turn off. I'd had this problem in the past before and spent 160$ to get the ignition replaced, so suffice to say I was not pleased. At that point I had to make a choice, the choice being going back home or making the trip to Texas without stopping for any rest whatsoever. I chose the second option and drove all the way. Most of my trip it was dark out and I couldn't see any of the scenery. It was rather nice having much of the mountains and roads almost all to myself in the latest hours of the night though; it was much easier to navigate.
Speaking of navigation, without Mitch's GPS I would never have made it, Tennessee had a horrid region where I had to keep jerking the car to the left and right to get into the correct lane divides with mere moments between each one. I'd have probably ended up in the Pacific Ocean or Canada, or quite likely both at the same time. I got to Texas at about 12:30pm, less than a full day after I left. Ironically I didn't get any rest until late in the evening when my energy finally plummeted. Other than the tiredness and a really sore backside and feet I was none the worse for wear.
I've been learning the area now and getting shown around to all the nice places to shop by Mitch and Smokescale, and have been amused to find that Mitch sounds exactly like a friend of mine back in Virginia, while Smokescale sounds very similar to another person I knew in Virginia and looks like two people I knew in VA combined together! I've gotten partially set up in the apartment now and met a few other furs out here at the weekly meet. Yesterday Mitch and I got to assist Smokescale with thinking up a lot of funny stuff for a comedy routine, and I also gave Mitch a birthday present he'll likely never forget. :3
I've overheard that Dorenrab will likely be visiting on Thursday as well!
I still need to get details set up for my first complex commission when I have the time, and I might color in and upload a series of commissions Mitch got of our two characters done quite a while ago as well.

Taking a trip! (and questions for you)
Posted 15 years agoTomorrow I will be starting my drive to Texas from Virginia to room with MitchKenzo and will likely be offline for 3 days. I've been a little excited given the fact we're both awfully shameless gaming fanatics and have been much more talkative here on FA lately as a result now that the side effects of the pain medications I had for having all four wisdom teeth out have worn off. Since I'm going to be out of contact for so long I figured I'd ask you, my watchers, some stuff about your interests and how they relate to my gallery content. I really like stats and percentages and numerical information to an unhealthy degree and having a better idea of what my watchers like will let me make sure to put up stuff relevant to those interests once in a while. So here we go...time to make up questions...
1.)
What was it that made you watch me originally? Was it a particular piece? Some aspect of one of my works? Details! I love details!
2.)
Did any of my work make you take an interest in something you had previously been uninterested in, or change your views about something?
3.)
Do you prefer my stories or my art? Could you specify what it is that makes you like your preference, and have you ever looked at the type you less prefer?
4.)
If there was anything you could change about my stories and/or art, what would it be?
5.)
What aspects of my art and/or writing do you find most appealing?
6.)
What aspects of my art and/or writing do you think need some work?
7.)
Is there anything you really want to see more of?
8.)
When you think of me, what do you think of? Do I seem to have a particular theme attached to me, a specific personality based on your interactions with me or through observing my character in art and stories? How do I come across? (also, for the vore interested, am I predator or prey based on the above!)
9.)
Are you into vore? What kinds?
10.)
Any chance you have a liking for navels and stomachs in general too? There have to be more of you like me with these odd interests. X3
I think that's it for now, I really need to keep packing up. I've been awfully distracted by that picture I put up in my gallery recently though; Ave's stomach looks so good to just stare at...want to bury my face in it...need to keep navel fetish off my mind right now. X3
There will probably be another 'If I were an artist' going up soon, I think it was up to like 12 more ideas or so already. Also, F5 for Halloween icon. I've been saying I was going to animate it to glow, but if I keep saying that October will pass and I still won't have it up. Dx

A Realization
Posted 15 years agoI've realized something about me and art. I'm not so good with putting a concept onto paper myself. Making a body from scratch is one of the most mentally taxing things I ever experience. The constant erasing and inability to make what is in my mind come out onto the paper really hurts and drives me away from ever drawing. Part of it is because while i can't say I have no idea about anatomy, I am quite painfully aware of the fact I am woefully lacking in knowledge of its subtleties. I also have never done the basics of drawing like making simplified exaggerations of a character to figure out the posing, or even doing light, undetailed lines before getting to the serious work of finalizing the picture. When I draw everything tends to be coming out in its finalized form, and this often results in anatomical and proportional errors I have no real way to fix without major work on my part. I have quite the love/hate relationship with traditional art, but I have a 160$ scanner that I got just for it...
Digital art is a whole different mess. I don't have a tablet right now; I have a mouse. Drawing with a mouse is sloppy work. It tends to mean I have to zoom in to degrees that make coloring in the tiniest parts of a picture take forever, and I get hand cramps terribly as a result. I think part of the problem is that I am left handed, yet have to draw with my right hand since my mouse using skills are oriented to my right hand. I think this creates a problem when I am trying to use my left hand oriented artistic skills with my right hand. The zooming in so far also means I lose the ability to see the picture in its entirety and just the effects of what I am doing more easily. Making anything from scratch is a real mess since trying to make reasonable lines with my right hand is only slightly better than attempting to draw with my right hand.
I've found a strange niche that I feel comfortable in though, and I'm trying to use it to learn where my failings can be improved over time. I've learned so much about shading and coloring from always performing little modifications to images of my character others do for me. I do this because I don't like nitpicking over every little thing to an artist when I might be able to fix it myself. I also do it because I find myself unable to explicitly describe what aspects of a picture need special work and emphasis since it's a turn on for me(belly and navel, anyone? Heavy squirming prey filled stomach? Just me? >.>). So, I do those things myself, if I can. It can be difficult sometimes because it's impossible to merge traditional scans with digital edits too far before it looks unnatural.
I also am beginning to finally get a feeling that the mysterious thing many of FA's top artists have talked about - the art of drawing without lines, is something I'm beginning to realize. There was a time I couldn't comprehend how one would do that, but I think I'm really beginning to get it! Mind you, don't be expecting me to heavily be doing it any time soon, but some details I'm really getting good at look so much better when I do all the shading and then go to the lines layer and erase the lines that would have previously been used as detail entirely. If you look at the picture I put up recently you will see that Avereth's belly has been reduced to very few actual lines, and looks very soft and malleable. While the lines were all still there it wasn't like that(try tab swapping between my version and the source, it's fun!), and I'm already looking at it and seeing possible ways to even make the rest of the lines disappear.
I won't modify other people's uncolored work for practice because I feel it's a serious breach of ethics even if I had no intentions of putting it up anywhere, so I only get so many chances to practice like this.

My Stance on FA Ads
Posted 15 years agoI think the ad system needs some work. And I think if Dragoneer/Yak, etc were to actually think about what I suggest, they would realize that my revision ideas are likely only to help improve the current ad system.
As it stands, from what I know, ads have 2 settings: clean and mature. The only way to filter between the two is to make use of the mature content blocker in your profile settings. This effectively means that to block the mature tiered ads you have to turn off all mature submissions and browse as the equivalent of a 13-17 year old user of the site. This is a lazy and half assed effort only implemented to keep any legal hurdles from coming up and impacting the site itself.
Fact is, you're basically FORCED to have adult ads shoved into your face if you want to be able to make any use of FA in a normal capacity! For a lot of people, all this means is that ads are entirely ignored, or worse, blocked outright. I've never taken a college economics class myself, so maybe I'm wrong in assuming this, but I'm pretty sure creating incentive to ignore or block ads by enforcing a system that forces unwanted content into people's faces is detrimental to generating revenue through ads for both the ad slot seller and the advertisers that buy the slots. It also makes the users themselves unhappy with that aspect of the site.
Most people don't want someone to be able to look over their shoulders and see ads for dildos and erotic feral art. They don't want to see jailbait looking effeminate gay males with giant creepy lips and almost human faces probably made by the sleazy ClubStripes/Cocktails people. You might try to use the excuse 'Oh, but you have mature artwork turned on, and look what's in your favorites! You're a hypocrite!'. Well here's the deal: there's quite a difference.
I can choose when and where I view mature and adult site content, and generally know where it's going to be most likely to pop up. With these ads I have ZERO control over when and where they present themselves. Worse, from another economist standpoint, these ads I don't want to see are pushing out revolving content that I potentially could be interested in seeing, but with all the adult ads popping in and out all the time I'm disinclined to look at them because everything starts to look like it might be another adult ad!
So here's my ideas for how to use an intelligent ad system.
1: Separate ads into THREE tiers:
-Clean
-Mature
-Adult
If we needed it for art, doesn't it make sense to use it for ads too? Rank every ad based on how suggestive it is about its content and what it links to as well. An ad explicitly offering sexual content and adult material needs to be adult rated. The same ad merely mentioning a variety of subjects are being taken for commission and tastefully explaining most things are up for asking for in a journal or something would only merit a mature rating rather than adult. If I'm going to be offered adult content, I want it to be offered TACTFULLY and with a bit of SUBTLETY. I'm not going to buy it from the artist trying to appeal to people's dicks directly!
2: Create a new section in the control panel below the content filter for artwork. Allow the user to select what tier of ads they wish to be able to view up to of the three I listed above. This will allow users to guarantee nothing is likely to appear that offends them or makes them feel at risk just regularly using the site. And that will lead to more clicks, more views, and far, far less adblock. Sounds like a win/win to me for users, advertisers, and FA itself to me. It's WONDERFUL this site isn't covered in banners of bouncing titties and drunk whores, but even if what's up doesn't compare to that crap, it's still ad content a lot of users really aren't even interested in. Keep that junk out of the way of the decent ads if a user wishes it.
3: Add a section somewhere allowing a user to click to go to a page that will show all of the month's ads that their current ad content preference gives them access to. Make a mention to check out the new ads each beginning of the month post made by the
account. These measures will allow even more access to ads. Sometimes I've seen something that piqued my interest, but was too late to get to it before the page finished loading onto another one. Do you have ANY IDEA how annoying it is to try to randomly generate that ad you can't hit the back button to refind? I would totally look forward to checking the enw ads each month to see what new and exciting things might have come up, and I'm sure other FA users feel the same way!
So what do you think? Do my ideas hold any water? Do you know of anything that might be any better? Tell me what you think!
FA is a great site, but I think there are always things that can be done to make it better for everyone involved with it.
Let's hope the update for the writers of FA comes soon and well implemented! :)

If I were an artist...III
Posted 15 years ago...then these are more things I would draw!
If I were an artist...
If I were an artist...II
The Changes Are All Under The Hood
Acolytes for dummies
This comic has Avereth in his extremely rare dragon form he only used for the brief, shadowy period before he really had any idea what he was doing as a furry.
This Avereth is a black dragon in anthro shape without wings. He's seated on a throne made of black metal and bone in a dark, sinister looking underground place. He is clad in a dark, heavy platemail, the end of his muzzle appearing out of the dark recesses of a fearsome helm, only red glowing eyes visible within. One of his minions is standing before him and a small figure clad in dark robes is kneeling as well, head down, completely obscured.
Avereth is in the middle of saying "I thought I'd told you to upgrade the acolytes, minion. This acolyte looks exactly the same? Give me a reason I shouldn't devour you here and now and make another 'living sacrifices were needed' claim." The minion then responds "Overlord, I assure you... the changes are all *dramatic pause with face shot* UNDER THE HOOD!" At this point you actually see a reaction from the acolyte for the first time, who up until this point has been silent and motionless, but only to burst out laughing at what the minion just said.
---
The Balls Always Touch
All hyenas are gay
Starring
because he needs to appear in more of my ideas! And because we haven't really gotten to talk in a while!
This one would be a comic of Avereth and Bingo the otter having a discussion, related to Avereth. It would make references to both 'it's only gay if the balls touch', and the fact that female hyenas have a fake set of balls, and what that means for the entire species. Avereth gets no way to back out of this one, but Bingo would totally use it to create innuendo directed at Avereth.
---
Mohawks Are Out of Style
Eating you might be the next trend
This one is absolutely a tribute to
's Insult and Revenge series. If I had money for commissioning I'm sure this is something I'd even pay Pie for. They always feature the character Electra, who always says something terribly rude to someone else, and then the other person says or does something that makes Electra regret it.
In this case she sees Avereth standing there minding his own business and she notices the fact he has a mohawk of sorts(being a hyena this is fairly unavoidable!). So of course she says something like "Nice hair. Didn't mohawks go out of style in the <whenever mohawks were in style>. Avereth's face quickly goes from shocked to sinister looking in a very short time and he responds with "Have you ever really considered actually eating someone alive before?" with his most charming toothy grin and coming closer to her. Electra's face would show pretty clearly he'd gotten under her skin.
---
?-Yena!
Species abuse
This comic would consist of panels showcasing all the ways one can abuse the word 'hyena' when interacting with one such as:
A karate move used on Avereth - Hi-Yena! (ouch!)
A greeting used by multiple people to designate his species - Hi, Yena!, Hey, Yena!
A multiuse word that combines drugs and the tops of mountains at the same time! - Highyena
i-Yena - This would be an ipod themed robotic hyena that plays music and follows you around!
---
Knot a Dog!
And I can prove it!
Starring
for always calling me a pup, though I actually think it's kind of cute. :)
Avereth is getting very sick of being called a canine. He doesn't want to be associated with a species that he is nothing like! Shade(as a bat) still doesn't see how the hyena isn't a canid and it's driving Avereth out of his mind. In a bit of devious manipulation the bat gets him worked up to the point of not thinking clearly and gets him to pull his trump card: the one anatomical difference no viewer would be able to deny differentiates a male hyena from a male canine. Avereth ends up ripping the fly of his pants open and letting everything hang out on display, though all can be seen from behind is his shadow outline against the wall proving that he definitely does not have a knot down there. This is all highly irrelevant to Shade, however, who has gone glassy eyed starting at his crotch and has his mouth open with his long tongue hanging quite a good ways out and drooling. Avereth finally realizes what just happened and exclaims "OH SHIT YOU ASS!".
---
Observances and Double Standards
Suitable…or unsuitable?
This one is Avereth having a bit of a monologue with images of what he's talking about as well. He talks about how he loves getting dressed up on Halloween and going to parties to show his apparel off, and feels completely normal doing it. Then he goes on to talk about how at the same time, he could never wear a fursuit to a convention, even if said fursuit also worked perfectly well for a monster costume during halloween. He ends with "So what does that mean exactly?"
---
Contents Under Pressure
Do not poke
Starring!
(am I the only one amused the title and subheading could be abbreviated to CUP: DNP, which then makes me think of the fact that 2 Girls 1 Cup is something that is DNP on most sites? Anyone? Just me? Damn! XD )
Avereth has just left a buffet and couldn't possibly eat another thing! This makes his stomach really sensitive to contact so he put on a sticker that says "Warning: Contents Under Pressure". This of course is too much for Mitch, who has in irresistable urge to push a finger against his protruding navel. The results? Multiple endings of course! Including: lazor blast, vomit geyser, nuclear explosion. All of these were just in Mitch's head though. In reality Avereth just goes "Ow! You ass stop doing that!"

Dook Nukem
Tired of waiting forever
Starring because I needed a weasel for it and these word puns don't create themselves!
Distorter has been waiting for the next Duke Nukem game for a long time now, and it's beginning to seem like the 'Forever' part of the title refers to a unit of time in relation to how long he was going to have to wait. The superweasel decides to take matters into his own paws, and on Halloween the hero performs heroic deeds stopping an alien invasion of Hollywood in his new outfit under a new name: Dook Nukem! There would definitely be a panel where he is throwing steel bolas at an alien and shouting "BALLS OF STEEL!"
Duke Nukem is © somebody I don't recall because it's been years since I played one to find out.

So Many Butts
You see me trollin'...
Where Avereth works once in a while he gets picked to clean up the parking lot. Being the odd one, he decides to always refer to this as 'Butt Patrol' without ever explaining what that means to anyone. Needless to say, a lot of employees are beginning to wonder if he's getting some tail out there or meeting ladies to hook up with later. Once they get a turn and find absolutely nothing out there they come to him demanding to know where all the women were. Avereth laughs at their expense and says that it referred to all the cigarette butts left by smokers all the time. A final panel somehow then implies he IS getting tail out there, but then a different view show he's just licking Mitch's belly button(which you guys should be expecting by now XD ).

Into My Shirt
Such a cuddly beast
Starring!
This comic has Mitch narrating like a nature show guy, his subject being Avereth. He goes over a few basic things about hyenas and how dangerous they can be when hungry, while Avereth is rolling his eyes and saying "Oh god not this again. You're not getting into my shirt.". Mitch then sets out a huge platter of meat as 'bait' to 'sate the beast's ravenous appetite' which Avereth is unable to resist, saying "Oh damn you..." before burying his face in it. After more hyena commentary and some heavy gorging there's nothing left but a few bones, one of which is sticking half out of Avereth's mouth. At this point he's ended up on his back and his belly is hugely distended to the point his pants button goes shooting off. He gulps down the bone and stutters "Food...coma..." with his eyes turning into either x'es or swirly line circles. At this point Mitch does even more nature commentary and closes in making mention of how lions are the only thing known to predate hyenas before starting his usual navel licking antics on the completely exposed Avereth's middle.

Pandora's Meerkat
You'll never guess what's inside!
Avereth comes across the meerkat Jeremy churring to himself and relaxing with a fat stomach region, having clearly recently eaten something. The hyena comes over and claps his paw onto the meerkat's belly, completely covering it and pushing down against the muscles to rub into his stomach region. Jeremy has time to say "Wait, don't agitate it more!" before Avereth feels something move inside. The meerkat gags and makes gulping motions a few times before suddenly a half foot worth of giant centipede erupts from his mouth with the meerkat getting a derpy face in the process. The centipede thrashes around and wriggles all its legs, and Avereth's fur stands on end puffing on him. A second later Avereth is clinging with all his might to a light fixture on the ceiling, the background of the room darkened to be barely visible with the word 'LEGS' all over the panel.

Meeroboros
Coming back to bite you in a new way
The title is a play on the term 'Ouroboros'
In this comic Jeremy the meerkat is in the middle of swallowing a snake whole, and the last of the tail is disappearing down into his jaws. It can be seen shifting and squirming in his tight belly, with individual coils able to be discerned in his shifting skin and fur. Soon the serpent is entirely within the meerkat's stomach and he is rubbing it in satisfaction and relaxing to digest when he gets a funny feeling in his navel. Suddenly the snake's head pushes out of the meerkat's navel knot and soon more follows before Jeremy can try to push it back in! The irate snake frees enough of itself to get its head above Jeremy's and clamps down around his head and shoulders immediately. It is at this point Jeremy has a thought bubble which says 'Oh shit...'.
The snake begins swallowing Jeremy's upper half. It takes more and more effort and soon the meerkat's own head is being drawn down through his own navel down inside of the snake's stomach. Flexible or not, Jeremy isn't going any further with the rest of the snake still curled up in his own stomach and an impasse is reached. It is at this time Avereth walks in and sees the odd ball of scales and fur and has no idea what he is seeing. He picks it up and looks closer and still has no idea what he is seeing. In the end he decides that whatever it is, it IS edible and either tosses it down his throat or sticks it against his own belly button and starts sucking it into his belly.

Also his idea because something this silly I wouldn't think up! :D
Avereth has been doing a lot of magic today and then decided to eat somebody, but he's finding he's out of charge to reform them! It's considered very rude to make someone wait to be reformed, but it could be hours before his body generates enough magic energy to do it! Mitch gets a call and hurries over, not giving the hyena any advice but saying he knows just the trick. The lion is pleased to see the hyena is so full that his navel is bulging out, and draws the protruding nub inside of his own(or maybe he uses a cord? :o). There are little sparks and electricity zapping on Avereth's mane, but it seems to be charging him up in no time!

The Changes Are All Under The Hood
Acolytes for dummies
This comic has Avereth in his extremely rare dragon form he only used for the brief, shadowy period before he really had any idea what he was doing as a furry.
This Avereth is a black dragon in anthro shape without wings. He's seated on a throne made of black metal and bone in a dark, sinister looking underground place. He is clad in a dark, heavy platemail, the end of his muzzle appearing out of the dark recesses of a fearsome helm, only red glowing eyes visible within. One of his minions is standing before him and a small figure clad in dark robes is kneeling as well, head down, completely obscured.
Avereth is in the middle of saying "I thought I'd told you to upgrade the acolytes, minion. This acolyte looks exactly the same? Give me a reason I shouldn't devour you here and now and make another 'living sacrifices were needed' claim." The minion then responds "Overlord, I assure you... the changes are all *dramatic pause with face shot* UNDER THE HOOD!" At this point you actually see a reaction from the acolyte for the first time, who up until this point has been silent and motionless, but only to burst out laughing at what the minion just said.

The Balls Always Touch
All hyenas are gay
Starring
because he needs to appear in more of my ideas! And because we haven't really gotten to talk in a while!This one would be a comic of Avereth and Bingo the otter having a discussion, related to Avereth. It would make references to both 'it's only gay if the balls touch', and the fact that female hyenas have a fake set of balls, and what that means for the entire species. Avereth gets no way to back out of this one, but Bingo would totally use it to create innuendo directed at Avereth.

Mohawks Are Out of Style
Eating you might be the next trend
This one is absolutely a tribute to
's Insult and Revenge series. If I had money for commissioning I'm sure this is something I'd even pay Pie for. They always feature the character Electra, who always says something terribly rude to someone else, and then the other person says or does something that makes Electra regret it.In this case she sees Avereth standing there minding his own business and she notices the fact he has a mohawk of sorts(being a hyena this is fairly unavoidable!). So of course she says something like "Nice hair. Didn't mohawks go out of style in the <whenever mohawks were in style>. Avereth's face quickly goes from shocked to sinister looking in a very short time and he responds with "Have you ever really considered actually eating someone alive before?" with his most charming toothy grin and coming closer to her. Electra's face would show pretty clearly he'd gotten under her skin.

?-Yena!
Species abuse
This comic would consist of panels showcasing all the ways one can abuse the word 'hyena' when interacting with one such as:
A karate move used on Avereth - Hi-Yena! (ouch!)
A greeting used by multiple people to designate his species - Hi, Yena!, Hey, Yena!
A multiuse word that combines drugs and the tops of mountains at the same time! - Highyena
i-Yena - This would be an ipod themed robotic hyena that plays music and follows you around!

Knot a Dog!
And I can prove it!
Starring
for always calling me a pup, though I actually think it's kind of cute. :)Avereth is getting very sick of being called a canine. He doesn't want to be associated with a species that he is nothing like! Shade(as a bat) still doesn't see how the hyena isn't a canid and it's driving Avereth out of his mind. In a bit of devious manipulation the bat gets him worked up to the point of not thinking clearly and gets him to pull his trump card: the one anatomical difference no viewer would be able to deny differentiates a male hyena from a male canine. Avereth ends up ripping the fly of his pants open and letting everything hang out on display, though all can be seen from behind is his shadow outline against the wall proving that he definitely does not have a knot down there. This is all highly irrelevant to Shade, however, who has gone glassy eyed starting at his crotch and has his mouth open with his long tongue hanging quite a good ways out and drooling. Avereth finally realizes what just happened and exclaims "OH SHIT YOU ASS!".
---
Observances and Double Standards
Suitable…or unsuitable?
This one is Avereth having a bit of a monologue with images of what he's talking about as well. He talks about how he loves getting dressed up on Halloween and going to parties to show his apparel off, and feels completely normal doing it. Then he goes on to talk about how at the same time, he could never wear a fursuit to a convention, even if said fursuit also worked perfectly well for a monster costume during halloween. He ends with "So what does that mean exactly?"

Screw Chicken Noodle Soup
Screw it 34 different ways with 69 unspeakable retributions
If not being able to chew from having all my wisdom teeth out means having to put up with this most inferior of all Campbell's soups I'm going to EXTREMIFY it from now on!
How do you EXTREMIFY it?
Is EXTREMIFY even a word?
In this guide I am only going to answer one of these two questions.
How to EXTREMIFY Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup (aka limp noodles with water)
Step 1: Open two cans of limp noodles with water and slop them into a pot. Make sure your slopping action is callous enough to show your contempt for this pathetic soup and its nearly nonexistant promises of chicken contents. There must be a proper ratio of messy noises resulting from the overabundant amount of thin water inside the cans to properly disrespect the soup. At least a little needs to get onto the counter for proper effect, even if no observers are present. Technique is of utmost importance so that this soup knows who's in charge! This is a soup that's used to taking advantage of the sick and weak, of being able to get away with it because you have no other options and it can dominate you like the vulnerable little bitch you are. This soup is an epic douche that everyone hates. Make sure not to turn your back on the soup for too long at any time; this is an intervention for chicken noodle soup and it's likely to be agitated at first.
Step 2: While it's still confused what's going on slam the pot on the burner and put it on low. Let the soup know you're in no hurry and taking your time. Be sure to mutter to yourself frequently too low for the soup to hear you and glance quickly over at it occasionally as if it's an unwanted visitor no one is willing to ask to leave, because that's exactly what it is. This is necessary to build up tension in the soup and keep it on the defensive. It's not used to being on heat for enough time for you to do things with it. While you let it stew in its own apprehension(this adds wonderful flavor to the soup!) it's time to find your weapons to use against mediocrity and watery excuses for soup. Your primary weapons need to be a few solids. This soup lacks a backbone and desperately needs one. In its current form it's probably less filling than jello! Pick out a few vegetable type things you tend to enjoy and set them on the counter. If you're really feeling bold, go find some actual meat to show that soup that the mystery substance that may have been chicken once is the shit that it is. Are the noodles too pathetic for you? Pull out some MANLY noodles and set them aside then! You need to degrade the soup and knock it down off its mightier-than-thou cloud to add a touch of humility to its flavor. Be sure at this stage to address the soup and let it know all the sordid things you think about it. Leave no stone unturned and no bridge burned. Things are going to be different now and you're laying it all out on the table. The cat isn't just out of the bag about how bad this slop is, it's out of the country by now! Remember, your insults have to hurt to instill just the right amount of misery into the flavor so that for the first time, you will be able to savor the soup's misery rather than the other way around!
Step 3: Okay so you've got your stuff out in plain sight now. The soup knows something is going on now and might try to start boiling to get out of it. Be sure to turn the heat down if it tries to escape that way. Now in my case I'd merely scraped up what I could find in the house and had a small can of mushrooms, a small onion, and some rosemary leaves I'd gone outside and picked off one of the bushes growing out there(be sure to pick them off actual rosemary bushes, it doesn't work if you just pick leaves off of random bushes...unless you're a max level alchemist or druid of course, but then if you are you don't get sick in the first place). The important thing about anything you use that's canned is to drain the water out before you add it in. That soup is already so thin and watery that adding any more might cause it to disappear(or at the least have you peeing like a racehorse while still hungry!). This is a soup that likes being thin and watery; don't be a bad soup enabler! Vegetable items need to be chopped if they are not already, and make the cuts thin enough for the flavor to come out and enhance the soup because it's painfully obvious that the soup itself isn't capable of producing any flavor of its own. Noodle items should be added immediately until you feel there's enough. In my case I only chopped a bit off the end of the onion and then diced it into little cubes which I tossed in. The rosemary leaves were broken into 3 pieces each and dropped in as well. After draining them I tossed in the sliced mushrooms and started to stir. All of the new stuff should shock the soup into inactivity for a while, so while it's stunned with its new appearance it's time to enact the second part.
Step 4: Turn the heat up to medium now to get those new ingredients softening up and leeching flavor into the all-too-overwhelming amount of watery broth in there. It's time to remake soup's smell and taste since those definitely need some work as badly as the appearance department did. The one thing to absolutely avoid here is salt! I know, I know, it must be so tempting to drown it in salt like a mother trying to kill her children. So much watery broth...so little flavor, right? But no, trust me; we're going to take care of all of that soon enough, and in ways that taste better than just piling on the salt. It's time to go into that spice cabinet and pick your poisons. Depending on what you already added in you should have some idea what kinds of spices you want, but if inexperienced just pop caps and sniff things until your nose tells you something has potential. If worst comes to worst, it can't possibly end up worse than if you'd been the poor sap who ate Campbell's limp noodles with water soup. In my case I got ground white pepper and curry powder. It's important not to pick too many things, so I'd really suggest no more than 3 at most. Take your picks and sparingly add them in while stirring and smelling the scent that rises up. You want to remember it's probably going to taste stronger than it smells, so it's generally a good idea to lay off before it smells like you're wanting it to actually taste, as by that point it's been overkilled. You also want to use less rather than more because we're going to take care of all that extra water as well.
Step 5: Now we're cooking! You've taken limp noodles with water and given him a whole new appearance and flavor. Now you need to turn up the heat again and get everybody well acquainted with one another in there. Be sure to stir once in a while to distribute the heat more evenly and deter anything from sticking on the bottom of the pan. You're going to do this for a good bit because it's time to take care of all that useless broth. You'll want to evaporate water until the broth has gotten a good bit more opaque in color, but not to the point it's starting to turn mushy. This will condense all the flavors you've added in and give your bladder a break since no one enjoys going to the bathroom more often than necessary from watery soup(because the soup PISSES YOU OFF GET IT? D: ). It will also make the soup more filling by having less water content. This is also why I said to avoid the salt; condensing it like this the spices you added and what little was already in the soup should be more than adequate. If any of your ingredients seems like it needs more time don't hesitate to add more water in if it's looking like you're running out of time.
Step 6: You've done it! You've taken Campbell's limp noodles with water soup and made it into something good! Pour it into a bowl, let it cool for a bit, and enjoy! If it doesn't want you to eat it because it realizes how awesome it is now do it anyway(especially if you're into vore! :P )! Do you taste that? That's the taste of success! Remember: there's never an excuse for eating bland food as long as you have a spice rack!

You'll want to evaporate water until the broth has gotten a good bit more opaque in color, but not to the point it's starting to turn mushy. This will condense all the flavors you've added in and give your bladder a break since no one enjoys going to the bathroom more often than necessary from watery soup(because the soup PISSES YOU OFF GET IT? D: ). It will also make the soup more filling by having less water content. This is also why I said to avoid the salt; condensing it like this the spices you added and what little was already in the soup should be more than adequate. If any of your ingredients seems like it needs more time don't hesitate to add more water in if it's looking like you're running out of time.
Step 6: You've done it! You've taken Campbell's limp noodles with water soup and made it into something good! Pour it into a bowl, let it cool for a bit, and enjoy! If it doesn't want you to eat it because it realizes how awesome it is now do it anyway(especially if you're into vore! :P )! Do you taste that? That's the taste of success! Remember: there's never an excuse for eating bland food as long as you have a spice rack!
Woohoo!
Posted 15 years agoI've just reached 300 favorites; that's such a big number, and I want to thank everyone who has enjoyed my work over these years. I've never really been the type to try to get a ton of attention in my quiet little corner of FA and I probably don't talk to all of you enough, but it really means a lot to me, given I don't really put out the sex driven stories and art most people do(mostly, I did some really naughty things in a select few stories, I dunno how I'm going to keep people from thinking I'm gay rather than asexual...PARANOIA AAAHH! X333). I'd been wondering if I was going to reach 5000 pageviews or 300 favorites first; 5000 was only 29 off I believe. :)
johnraimi is now an honorary SPARTAN for being favorite number 300 and has permission to type in all caps for the day or something. Or poke me in the navel, I think he'd like that. XD
I wish I was confident enough to do kiribans or contests, but it could be a few years before I feel like I'm capable of producing art for others or can make people stories in a timely manner...
In any case thanks again for all the attention over the years, I'm impressed I've garnered what I have with my barely over a page of actual submissions and about a page of scraps as well. It's kind of disheartening most of the favorites have come from the art I put up, but it is quite a credit to the wonderful artists whose generosity I have been so fortunate to receive in my time here. I really encourage anyone who is into really high quality writing to take a look at my works; these stories are not only interesting vore works but also actually fairly long reads with often many instances of vore happening throughout the story chapters and a whole lot of forethought put into the plotlines, characters, as well as thought, emotions, and keeping things reasonably beieveable and the characters developing throughout the stories! I know not everyone wants to read some of the more recent ones I've shamelessly also filled with navel fetish, but I think I can spare you all retaliatory nommings for not reading the 94 page or so 4 part series that includes equal parts vore and navel fetish. XD
Well, I'm off for now, I've had a writing kick that I'm not willing to waste!
As a final note
Dorenrab is awesome and his character is amazingly cuddly; I'm very interested in collaborating a story with him soon! :3

Posted 15 years agoI decided to hop onto SL again after probably over a year and decided to make a new item out of boredom, but I still don't know how to script really at all. I made a gun but have no idea how to set up triggers to allow it to be raised into a ready position, animate firing, make a projectile come out, or play any sounds. If someone knows how to do any of that or has script lists they can trade me, or knows of any sort of resource I could look up please let me know. I took some screenshots while I was messing around. The places I used to go have changed a lot since I was last on. SLVC is completely remade! Here's some progress shots while creating an alternative version of Heaven Striker, the Dark Striker!
Progress Shot 1

Progress Shot 3

It certainly looks nice...but no functionality right now! D:
Here's a few other shots I took:

I'd totally bribe anyone able to help me out with copies of my gear of their own if they like. :)

Important News
Posted 15 years agoIn about a month I am going to be finally moving out of my parent's house, much to my mother's distress. She doesn't want me moving out of range of her meddling in my affairs. XD
I'm going to be rooming with MitchKenzo! It's rather exciting because we share a lot of interests and have a habit of both thinking of the same thing(often in the form of crude jokes) at the same time. It's definitely not normal for me to express myself so openly, but to say this is a dream come true is actually the truth! I would never have thought that someone who just happened to find my work on Eka's Portal and noted me would turn out to be a fellow asexual, vorephile, and navel lover, as well as game fanatic, skilled writer, and listener and participator on hours long philosophy discussions. He's also the first person in my life I could actually call my best friend. I had heard about asexuals living happily together to simply enjoy one another's company but while I considered joking about it from time to time I never actually broached the subject with him. I'm very prone to expecting the worst and thus having this opportunity given to me makes me feel very lucky.
I've been working on a theory that asexuals have an urge to find someone who is a lifelong best friend, someone they can tell anything, and trust completely. That person's gender is not important because asexuals don't seek romantic pursuits. It's all a matter of coming across that one person with just the right personality and interests. Hence the term 'best friend for life'. I think my moving in with him will be very mundane compared to the things that happen when two furries normally decide to share the same living space. We'll see if my theory is true or if I've just been so socially walled off most of my life I'm just learning to want other people's company for the first time. XD
I am taking some risks in doing this of course, and I don't manage well with risks. I'm going to have to leave my job of 6 years and all the benefits and connections it comes with, leave most of my things behind, and decide to either see if my car can take the wear of a trip from Virginia all the way to Texas, or look into a train service that apparently takes you car with you as well. I have enough money in the bank to hold my own for a few months, and I sincerely worry about not finding a job because of the economy. When I get down there(and escape winter, ha!) aside from finding a place to put all my cactus plants I'll have to get him to show me around the area and immediately start trying to get work.
It's going to be weird not having to hide my furry interests, and even meeting other furries as well. When you've spent most of your life hiding... yourself you don't even know what the alternative is like! He seems to visit other ones a good bit, and I find myself looking forward to it. I told Mitch I'd never be able to go to a Con by myself, but I have a feeling he'll be dragging me into one sooner or later. I'll probably have to get over my aversion to being touched really fast! I'm feeling odd over how we've only ever interacted using our online aliases, because after a few years it feels more real to go by those than by your own real name. I feel like my name is Avereth moreso than anything else. I've joked we'd only be able t otalk to one another by going into our separate rooms and IMing one another. I suppose the fantasy that I'm a hyena and he's a lion can't last forever though, it's a bit sad since I think i'd be very cuddly if I was a hyena. XD
I don't think I'll miss too much about Virginia. I certainly won't miss the humidity or the just above freezing days where it's both rainy and windy. I will miss the snow however, and possibly the mountains and forests as I'm used to seeing. I'll also be leaving the place where
Dragoneer and 
ECMajor live, though I doubt I ever would have had the chance to meet them anyway- both because I wouldn't want to bother them and I'm also extremely shy. I recently found out another furry was going to the same college as I am, but I never did get to meet him. I also have a friend who openly admits he's furry, but I have never all these years admitted likewise to him because of the risk he might tell our other shared friends. I'm still tempted to tell him somehow, though it might blow his mind trying to combine that and asexuality together.
So anyway....one month to go before my entire world is uprooted and changes... I'm worried, excited, and kind of feeling like you do when you get to that big drop on a new roller coaster you've never ridden before. :)
-edit: feel free to make 'moving in together' jokes even though Mitch and I are both asexuals, it will amuse me to make the most grossly erotic replies possible involving the word 'murr'. XD

Why being a leftie can suck
Posted 15 years ago-I draw with my left hand. This is a good thing...in traditional media anyway.
-But when it comes to computers, things are arranged for a right handed approach.
-This also doesn't really matter normally, because when one picks up using computers they become right handed in that case to use a mouse.
-there are problems however when one tries to apply left handed drawing skills to the right hand...we'll call them compatibility issues.
-I can draw with my right hand of course, but it's disastrous. I can't really ever make a quality digital piece from nothing.
-this is why I can only ever put up traditional art or colorations with very minor manual edits. My colorations are suffering from using my right hand but I can reduce the effect by zooming in to obscene magnifications.

If I were an artist...II
Posted 15 years ago...then these are more things I would draw!
Previous 'If I were an artist...'
Click for Full View
It's more obvious than you think
Jeremy the meerkat has been messing with FA's coding while Avereth is not at the computer. He later comes back and uploads a picture of himself. As soon as another user clicks the 'Full View' button, they disappear and reappear in Avereth's stomach. While Avereth is trying to figure out what the heck is squirming in his belly the picture he uploaded updates to reflect his new fullness...the cycle continues...
My Meal Is Disagreeing With Me
Philosophy and Peristalsis
Avereth has just eaten some sort of prey animal and the two are having a philosophical debate over the morality of one sentient creature eating another and neither one is willing to budge on their stance! The noise attracts's attention and he comes over and asks Avereth why he's talking to himself. The hyena tells him his meal is disagreeing with him which causes the lion to facepalm. He decides to end the argument by wrenching the hyena's jaws open and climbing in, and once inside promptly eats Ave's prey.
It's What You Look Like on the Inside That Counts!
The Entirely Questionable Wisdom of a Hyena
is having second thoughts about his blueness and is certainly feeling very 'blue'. The otter comes to Avereth worried about his color and if he should dye his fur to look like all of the other otters. Avereth is of course glad to console the otter and tell him there's nothing wrong with being blue. The hyena then tells him the age old phrase about what you look like on the inside being what counted. Bannor isn't tooo sure how the saying is relevant to his current situation in the slightest but suddenly finds himself in hyena maw and being quickly swallowed. A now fattened Avereth hugs his belly and inside Bannor suddenly smiles a churrs, saying he gets it now and chastising Avereth for being naughty before relaxing in the belly.
Two For One
Exploit...or Excellent?
as his vampire bat Shade has Avereth wrapped in his wings and is drinking his blood when he notices Avereth tapping him from behind as well and telling him he might have gone a little too far and forced him to reform himself. The hyena says it's a good thing he can revive himself as the bat lets go of what he now realizes is a freshly dead hyena and it flops to the ground. Shade laughs and tells Ave he could have revived him too, and waves his wing over the stiff expired Ave to demonstrate. The Ave on the floor suddenly jerks and gets back up, starting to say something to Shade before he notices a perfect replica of himself looking back at him. Both Avereths stare at one another with jaws agape while Shade wonders aloud how that worked before rubbing his wings together and saying 'excelllllent...'.
Ranek's New Job
Internal Affairs Manager
This idea is kind of
's fault, so he gets to star in it. XD
Avereth has been convinced by Ranek that he needs someone to stay in his stomach to make sure no one tries to get out, and Avereth really doesn't feel like saying no since he doesn't really mind the idea of keeping a meerkat bulging out in there all the time. The deal works for both of them: Avereth gets a plumper belly all the time to enjoy that moves around at times, Ranek gets to live in a predator's stomach safely and occasionally pop Avereth's mouth open to say something to someone before Avereth closes his mouth and gulps him back down.
Whenever some unfortunate prey plops down into the hyena's belly they meet Ranek, who informs the prey that they are not permitted to leave the belly until they have been digested and that any 'bowel movements' out of the stomach into the throat or intestines are strictly prohibited to non staff.
Once again these are probably only funny to a select few. XD

Okay in other news I have been messing with Hypercam 2 on Windows 7 and despite endless FAQs have concluded nothing I do will make it record any sound but whatever I say into the mic. God damn piece of shit Windows 7 I miss XP and its flawless performance. I've started uploading a playthrough of Serious Sam: The First Encounter to my Youtube account.
Parts 1-3 are up at this time. Will try uploading part 4 tonight.
Also I have been tinkering with my userpage again since I can't ever be happy with it. Now featuring more useless features and colors! Made a thingy on some sort of F-list site that lets me list fetishes and likes in excruciating detail. My no list was by far the biggest! :D
I'll hopefully be uploading more work in the future and actually feel like I deserve all this mysterious attention I've been getting lately. I really have no idea what's been fueling the favorites, watches, and pageviews! It's like I hit some critical point and started getting attention without doing anything. :o

Great news for FA writers!
Posted 15 years ago recently had a journal about the scheduled FA updates for August, and I left a comment asking about making the page layout more favorable to writers, specifically in having a scrolling window to hold the story text so your page didn't end up screwed up.As you all know, the current setup allows you to either put the text in the comment box and thus stretch your page a mile long and push your relevant information about the story you'd normally use a mile down, including tags and such. The other option is to simply only have a download option to read the story. Personally, I feel both of these setups can deter readers, either because they don't feel like downloading or they get scared off by how large the page appears. Those of you who have been to Eka's Portal probably know how they already use a scrolling box within the page to hold story text. I think it works out nicely.
Apparently, working on this issue has been put onto the board, but unfortunately, it will not likely be implemented by the August update. So while that means there's a long wait yet for this needed fix, at least we writers do finally have something to look forward to.
What sort of things bore you?
Posted 15 years agoThings that are getting old to see for me:

(how do you pronounce meme anyway?)
(I always said it like 'meemee' since it seems like half of them try to garner attention or art to oneself)
-Happy birthday let's have an orgy
-Happy birthday I'm eating you
-Locker rooms
-Gyms in general
-High school/college drama
-Generic gay hating jocks
-Godmode preds

Some things I wonder
Posted 15 years agoAnd before I start, I'll be going back to just leaving my text mostly white. Lime green does not translate well to the light FA color scheme and green does not translate well to the dark FA color scheme.
I wonder why permabanned people stay stuck in your watched by list. I have a habit of wanting to keep my page properly updated and when I can't make people who will never be back get out of making my numbers inaccurate it just bothers me. Maybe they could make it so blocking someone removes them from there or something.
I wonder why people make accounts and proceed to watch thousands of people alphabetically. I just don't really want to be watched by someone who is not actually watching me and is just attention whoring.
I wonder why I need to be informed that a journal or submission has been deleted by the poster.
I wonder why FA does not make its layout more story friendly by having removed the tags that used to be at the side I could use to specify story lengths, places in a series, themes, and genres. If photography gets special taggings at the sides pulled from the file than surely stories can have a manually set side tab. FA also still does not use a scrollable window for story text and actually expects you to post the story in its entirety into a comment box or alternatively simply make it only be available to download, which I expect most users to be too lazy to bother with doing. I know most people are biased towards art, but this is just putting down stories even further. Your page should not be stretched a mile by your story, and some of us DO write very large segments as there IS such a thing as skilled writing on FA.
I wonder why some people delete all their shouts. I don't really see a point shouting back to them if it's just going to be flat out deleted.
So what do you wonder about FA?

If I were an artist...
Posted 15 years ago...then these are the things I would make comics of because I thought of them generally while at work out of boredom. I think they're all at least a little funny myself, but let's see how they translate to people I don't know!
If you are one of the following: then you're possibly in a few of these silly scenarios. :P
Reader's Digest - Do Not Eat
Read the Fine Print
Avereth sees a magazine and reads the cover, 'Reader's Digest'. He thinks about it for a moment and tosses his head back and drops the book into his gaping maw. A few really awkward swallows later it's gone.
Reader's Digest - Do Not Eat 2
Writer's Blockage
Later Avereth is feeling sick. It seems the Reader's Digest is giving him tummy trouble. He goes to the doctor and gets an X-ray, which reveals the book still sitting in his stomach. It also appears to be opened up and being read by what looks like the skeleton of a meerkat! The doctor is a gazelle and has an awkward moment where he reaches his whole arm down Avereth's throat to get the book.
Reader's Digest - Do Not Eat 3
Conflict of Interests
The gazelle doctor manages to pry the book out, and a meerkat is clinging to it still when it emerges slimy yet unharmed. The meerkat begs the doctor to save it, and he watches Avereth glare at him as if daring him to do it before the doctor apologizes to the meerkat and shakes it loose, causing it to fall back into the hyena's throat and be swallowed back down. The gazelle looks at the book and goes 'Aha!', pointing out the fine print says that it's the 'Herbivore Edition' and that if he wants to digest the information he has to get the 'Predator Edition'. Avereth leaves a happy hyena while all the doctor can think is 'poor meerkat!'.
On Second Thought, I Don't Want to be a Vampire
Temptations
Avereth is walking down the street and suddenly finds himself trapped in's bat's wings! Shade starts tempting Avereth into willingly becoming a vampire, talking about how he will live forever and have amazing strength and powers, and be able to prey on anyone. Avereth looks like he's going to agree, but Shade isn't done talking just yet...
On Second Thought, I Don't Want to be a Vampire 2
Better Temptations
Shade mentions how he will subsist only on blood and nothing more than perhaps the occasional sips of wine and Avereth suddenly has a change of heart at the thought of not being able to just gulp people down anymore. After a brief scuffle the hyena gets the bat into his mouth and dispatches him down his throat! It seems Avereth much prefers staying a normal hyena...at least Shade doesn't have to worry about the sun where he is now!
Damaged Goods
My snacks!
Avereth is about to have a snack of Teddy Graham when he notices the front parts of the little bear shaped crackers all seem to have been nibbled off! Not wanting to eat the strangely tummyless bears he resorts to fruit in the fridge, but once again is foiled as it seems someone bit a hunk off of all of the navel oranges! At this point's lion wanders in as Avereth finds one orange that is left unblemished and is holding a quite rounded feline belly and complains of a stomachache. When the lion sees Avereth's orange he grabs it and bites the 'navel' end off of it, and then Avereth points at the lion in anger, and a final panel has Mitch running from a hail of oranges.
Myrkat
Memnarch Approves!
Google the following for best understanding: Mirrodin, Memnarch, Myr
's meerkat Jeremy has been hard at work in the factory. It seems Memnarch has tasked him with creating the ultimate weapon. Jeremy has been toiling away to make what surely must be the ultimate in artifact weaponry. At last it is done! What emerges looks strangely reminiscent of Memnarch's own creation...the Myr. And yet, it is clearly not a Myr...but a Myrkat! The mighty Memnarch is greatly impressed and soon an entire legion of Myrkats are ready to take over Mirrodin!
It's My Drink
Yes, I Do Drink From the Bottle
notices Avereth at the fridge guzzling out of a juice bottle and angrily berates him for drinking right out of the bottle. Avereth slams the empty bottle down with enough juice dribble on his face to make it look like blood and retorts 'Nobody drinks my juice but me!'. Given the red stained crazy looking face, Mitch decides to back away slowly and leaves the room.
Surfing Kat
Board is Bored
's meerkat Jeremy needed a board to surf with, but he needed a board that could move itself! It seems he convinced Avereth to float on his back so the meerkat could surf! Avereth's looking a little bored but Jeremy appears to be having a great time standing on the hyena's belly. Off in the distance 's otter is pointing and laughing.
Annoying Orange Vs the Bat
Justice is Served
Youtube the following for best understanding: Annoying Orange
It seems my bat Venizel is at a restaurant and has ordered a fruit bowl! For some reason all of the fruit seems to be able to talk, isn't that odd? After many fruits(and fruity jokes) only a very annoying orange is left, who was making all of the corny jokes. Amid lots of complaining about the conditions inside of his belly from the other fruit Venizel finally gulps the offending orange down and lets his stomach work on finally silencing him for good.
Mr. Popo's Secret
IT'S OVER 9000!
For best understanding, Google the following: Mr. Popo
It seems the Z fighters are being defeated left and right by the evil striped hyena Vereth! All this time all Mr. Popo has been able to do is watch...uselessly not doing anything but mumbling to himself. Vereth finally confronts him and just laughs in his face, driving in just how useless he really is. Mr. Popo seems to get really angry finally and seems about to say something. Vereth eggs him on and Mr. Popo finally snaps. At that moment Mr. Popo transforms into his ultimate form, Lazorface, and before you-know-who can say 'OVER 9000' Vereth is disintegrated by a lazor. Mr. Popo has been seen only sporadically since, and always while vaporizing something.
Na'vi Vs Navi
The Ultimate Weapon
It seems nothing the marines can do will dislodge those pesky Na'vi from their precious tree! The Sarge deploys his ultimate weapon... The little pink fairy Navi flits off toward the big tree knowing she will find plenty of people to bother there! Day after day shouts of 'HEY!' and 'LISTEN!' are heard over and over as the fairy chases them around. They want to kill her...but she's a part of the forest, even if she's not from this world, so they can't! They even finally listen to her hoping she'll stop bothering them and flee the tree. But once they reach a different place, it seems Navi was never given instructions to say something new, so the torment never ends!
Creepy Doctor
Putting the FFFFF in Physical
Slightly based on a real life creepy doctor. (he really said these things...) D:
It seems Avereth's due for everyone's least favorite doctor visit: the physical! The hyena has to endure being poked and prodded, enduring having the doctor pressing and prodding at his belly while saying 'What's in theeeere?! What's in theeeere?!' in some sort of almost oyer excited voice for entirely too long. The now grumpy hyena gets to the worst part and has to drop his pants, and the first thing he hears out of the doctor is an appraising sounding 'Very nice!'. He only endures the ensuing ball fondling for a moment before jumping on and eating the doctor. The only thing the heavy bellied hyena has to say then is 'I guess yoooou're in there!'.
Katbar
It's Delicious!
Introducing the Katbar! A delicious protein bar just for preds like you! Low in fat and high in Raaaage! Open it up and it's so hard core it will insult your mother and call you wimpy! But once you bite it in half and feel that intestinal goodness flood your mouth, you know there's nothing like crunching down a Katbar! Get yours today at the Live Food Market!(LFM)™
Katbar Take 2
It's Refreshing!
You ever wanted a scent that attracts the lady preds from miles around? Something that gives others an appetite for meat, and maybe a little more? Well what you need is the Katbar! Pop off the cap and you'll get fresh insults every time! But as if that was enough, rub it under your arms, or anywhere else you want to smell enticing, and let that scent bring the ladies to you! Once the bait has been taken, treat them to your delicious used Kat covered in your scent and make it so if they want to continue this dinner date they're going to have to take your clothes off to get more of that Katbar smell! Katbar: if your grandfather hadn't used it, you wouldn't be here!*
*Might actually be a phrase that is ™ Old Spice
Hyena is My Favorite Drink
How Did You Even Get In Here?
It seems Avereth is getting some blood drawn for standard tests. But it also appears that's bat Shade has snuck into the lab as well! When Avereth's blood is supposed to be going into a vial the bat is actually sucking the end of the intravenous tube himself! He's so engrossed in the act he doesn't even notice Avereth passing out in the chair!
Color Coded For Flavor?
Blue Otter is Not Blueberry
's otter Bingo is a very blue otter! Avereth has never seen a blue otter before and simply has to find out if blue otters have special flavors! Bingo can only watch in terror as the hyena pounces on him and starts licking him to see if he tastes like blueberry. Upon realizing he doesn't Avereth seems disappointed and communicates as much to Bingo. Bingo asks if he can be let go now but Avereth seems to have other plans. It's not long before the otter is panting on the ground as the hyena licks his navel, and then while his guard is down Avereth swallows him!
And that's the whole list, wow. Perhaps some day I will be able to make comics out of all of them. :)

A Game Everyone Should Play!
Posted 15 years agoOkay guys seriously, I need some people to play Phantasy Star Online with once in a while. It has to be one of my favorite games and yet I usually find myself playing solo or with people I don't know and probably won't see again. I'd really like to find 3 others to play with once in a while. Here's a video I uploaded of a run I was doing in the game. Youtube somehow raped the shit out of the quality unfortunately...where's the HD option! >:[
I have some scraps with Secondlife Thumbnails containing a few screenshots of myself and wearing some PSO themed apparel I made out of boredom once, which you may recognize in this video too! :)
If you are interested in trying this game, please do let me know. It would be nice if I could log onto Yahoo Messenger and get asked to play this once in a while rather than just get spammed with RP offers. >.>

Journal o' stuff with no title!
Posted 15 years agoSo like, wow. It keeps surprising me how many favorites one little picture can generate when I put it up on my page. I'm still the type of user that wants to personally thank each and every favoriter and watcher and stuff, and there must have been more than thirty to go through just from that latest piece. It gets a little impossible to not find yourself repeating the same few versions of thank you shouts switching in different usernames. Still, given all these favorites for ideas of mine others have drawn, I can't help but wonder how much attention my page would have gotten had I been an artist instead of a writer. I'll never be an artist of course, it just doesn't come naturally to me and must be forced when I draw on my own. It's best to stick to what one is good at, but I do like some variety and once in a while I try to draw something and figure out how to improve if I can. Just some idle thoughts.
If I do draw anything it might be a silly comic making a joke about eating a 'Reader's Digest' book from taking the title too literally. Besides that I still need to fix a piece that's been sitting for more than a year, and I've been touching up and experimenting with coloring on a very old pencil piece that predates any art in my gallery so far.
I had a 52 hour work week this week, and have been far too fatigued mentally to do any writing at all. Next week is 41 hours, and I really hope I get a chance to recover a bit. I've felt down and out for too long and my writing flow has suffered as a consequence. I can't let impossible problems keep dragging me down from doing what I used to like. It would be really nice to get some more stories finished and up, even if only a handful will ever read them.
A while back I came across a rather different movie that apparently didn't do ery well with the general movie crowd, but still, it was interesting, if weakly acted at points. It was called 'The Isle of Dr. Moreau' and involved lots of part human - part animal creatures. The one that was part hyena got some really good facial closeups with lots of teeth toward the end. :)
Let's see if these newfangled codes and 
worked out are functional. :)
