Leaving FA, sorry.
Posted 18 years agoSorry folks. I'm headin' out.
It's a beyond ugly situation.
I'm not going to explain it.
I'll let y'all know when my art goes back online.
And my comic Power Squad is still going to go through.

women confuse me
Posted 18 years agoso I'm dating again ... and women confuse the hell out of me.
in the process of a single conversation my thoughts will go something like "She likes me, she doesn't, she's cool, that was forward, wait should I reply back, maybe it's not appropriate to reply back, she likes me now, no she doesn't, did she want me to tease her, she doesn't like me now, wait she does, no wait do I like her, I don't know if I like her, she's cool, no she isn't, I can't decide... GAHHH!!!!"
...
and so on ...
yeah, just had to get that off my chest.

Free Art Book!
Posted 18 years agoSeriously!
http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/artbook.html
The artbook for the game BIOSHOCK is available for download at the site. Just read the very brief journal entry and click the link.
In case you haven't heard of BIOSHOCK, it's a fps horror game. It's set in a 1920s utopian underwater city gone horribly wrong. Throw in an eerie claustophobic feel, water leaks everywhere, genesplicing, and haunting little girls stabbing hyperdermic needles into the eyes of corpses, and you have yourself an awesome game. Also, the visuals are fantastic, and there's some serious improvements in how the AI works (some vids of it are easy enough to find at gt.com)
anyhoo, free art! grab it!

Beans, beans, the magical fruit ...
Posted 18 years agoa) So yeah, like the title says, I need to get art roots ... namely the Tim Burton and Disney veins of things.
SO ... can you suggest to me some artists on this site with either a Burton or a Disney blood in their works?
b) Link of the moment = http://youtube.com/watch?v=otmqBvuw.....ed&search= I wish the comic book shop owners where I lived were this enthusiastic.
c) I've been on a Dirty Vegas music kick as of late. =3 http://youtube.com/watch?v=SuLXHfFYzAM suggestions for similar type music? Dirty Vegas only has 2 albums out so far, and I want more. =<
e) I've started reading Deadpool and Cable. I've always loved Deadpool, and I always knew he was cool, but I forgot that he was "kidnap a member of a terrorist organization and make him your company's pet ... no ... MINION!" or "give an upper cut to an unsuspecting Kitty Pride whilst screaming SHORYUKEN!" leve of awesome.
d) FINALLY got the final peices of the comic together. Now it's production go time. YAY.

NBA Shakedown
Posted 18 years agohttp://cbs3.com/topstories/local_st.....201150722.html
This is why I don't like the NBA.
I love watching a good basketball, and I love watching an EXCELLENT game of basketball (like that insane first game of the Warriors / Jazz series this past NBA finals when both teams were on fire).
I never find myself able to watch any games with the Lakers or the NBA finals though. Honestly, I've known for the longest time that they're rigged. I could go on a rant about it, but refs have a fairly regulated system to keep people off their backs (including make-up calls, police escorts, and ref-protection policies in the NBA).
Admittedly, I thought it was something on a grander scale though. Gambling makes more sense than a big conspiracy theory at any rate.
... but ANY sort of gambling in the NBA is actually old-hat news. During the last game of the Rockets / Jazz series this year, Jazz pulled away from the Rockets (fairly big time) at the end. Thing is, this upset pretty much ALL of the commentators at TNT. On the last play, Houstan (strategically) should have fouled the Jazz, but didn't for whatever reason ... to which the main commentator (forgot the idiot's name) started screaming out "HE'S NOT FOULING! HE'S NOT FOULING!" And the jazz won.
The had one of the interviewers at the end talking to one of the Houston players. (This being the biggest obvious evidence of people in the NBA industry gambling on the games.) He went as far as to say "Well, several people along with myself who had invested interests in the game extend our sincerest sympathies to you and your team." ... if that's not an admission to betting on the game, I don't know what is.
Oddly, like the FBI statement said, several more arrests would be made shortly. I wonder whether or not this means Stern is going to go under fire ... owing to a comment he made a few years back when Detroit won the Lakers. He gave a similar type of kiss-up comment of praise to the Lakers: "And despite a valiant effort made by the Lakers [crowd boos overpower his speech at this point and I couldn't hear anything else]." While I'm skeptical he'd actually get arrested ... I definately would not be surprised.
Something that irritates me is the quotes from the gambling barons in Vegas. ... of course they wouldn't know anything about it. These guys would be pretty stupid to allow an obvious criminal activity to go on underneath their belts, especially when they're trying to get the NBA into Vegas.
... on the other hand, to think that these bets were going on in a perfectly legalized fashion is pretty naive. There are several illegal bookies across the country who deal in the thousands of dollars when it comes to bets.
So yeah, what does this mean?
The FBI will bust the ref's ass. Feds are notorious for not caving in to monetary interests, especially since they've trashed a good number of people from other leagues.
The NBA is going to get slammed once the FBI busts one ref's ass. When you bust a coach for gambling, you clean him out, along with his supporting staff, and the franchise goes on. When you bust a player, he gets canned. When you bust a ref though? The same rule of cleaning out that entire level of the system applies. That basically means that the entire NBA is subject to question, since the only people that the refs answer to is the head commission David Stern.
After the first ref goes down ... pretty much EVERY team in the NBA (save for the Lakers) are going to start pointing fingers. Every sports analysist is going to start talking it up to get the ratings boost. The NBA will basically earn the same reputation for being a legit sport as the WWE. This will more than likely result in a massive ratings drop ... meaning that more people will tune into next year's Dancing with the Stars than the NBA finals.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19872430/
this guy says it better than I did.
So yeah ... I kind of figured that the only way that the NBA would change the way their refs threw games would be if they were exposed ... I just wasn't banking on the Feds to do the job.
... contest results up in 15 minutes. ^^;

FINAL CALL FOR ENTRIES
Posted 18 years agoI'm ending the contest ...
June 26th at midnight
send in your entries before then, or forever ... don't or something.
Several judges have been picked out to quickly go over the list, and results will be posted shortly after.
================================
Here's the skinny ...
felt like having a contest, so here's the idea ...
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/55963150/
This is my character Lynx. She's a parody of Link (ummm ... obviously) from a canned project I was dinking around with for a while.
Anyhoo ... introductions aside, the above pic is obviously one of Lynx without clothing. The idea of the contest is to correct said problem. So yeah, costume design contest. Have at it folks!
Rules & Clarifications:
1) either use the template or draw a costume from scratch, it doesn't matter.
1a) http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/56405315/ For you flash operators out there, dA's glu-glu provided a .FLA template for you (hit download when you get to the page). ... also note that the colors he used aren't the official color scheme (since there truthfully isn't much of one), so don't feel pressured to use his schema.
2) Lynx cannot be naked in the contest submission. NO NAKIES!
3) If you're not too keen on actually designing costumes, there is a cosplay portion of the contest (putting her in an existing clothing design). I.e. ... Dressing her up like ... I dunno ... Nathan Hale from Resistance Fall of Man.
4) Don't mess with the general idea of her anatomy too much. You don't have to draw her chibi, or with the exagerated bust, but I'd reccomend against straying too far from the concept.
5) Black and White or Color submissions are both accepted.
6) submit as many categories as you want, I may limit the number of categories you win though
7) judging will be done by friends who don't enter the contest. This means that I won't hold as much bias over the voting. Also, I don't know who will be judging the contest, so no suggestions on how to tailor your entry.

3) If you're not too keen on actually designing costumes, there is a cosplay portion of the contest (putting her in an existing clothing design). I.e. ... Dressing her up like ... I dunno ... Nathan Hale from Resistance Fall of Man.
4) Don't mess with the general idea of her anatomy too much. You don't have to draw her chibi, or with the exagerated bust, but I'd reccomend against straying too far from the concept.
5) Black and White or Color submissions are both accepted.
6) submit as many categories as you want, I may limit the number of categories you win though
7) judging will be done by friends who don't enter the contest. This means that I won't hold as much bias over the voting. Also, I don't know who will be judging the contest, so no suggestions on how to tailor your entry.

June 4th = Exhilarating
Posted 18 years agoForgot to mention this earlier ... but my birthday is June 4th.
25 years of me on this planet ... exhilarating. -.-
================================
Here's the skinny ...
felt like having a contest, so here's the idea ...
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/55963150/
This is my character Lynx. She's a parody of Link (ummm ... obviously) from a canned project I was dinking around with for a while.
Anyhoo ... introductions aside, the above pic is obviously one of Lynx without clothing. The idea of the contest is to correct said problem. So yeah, costume design contest. Have at it folks!
Rules & Clarifications:
1) either use the template or draw a costume from scratch, it doesn't matter.
1a) http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/56405315/ For you flash operators out there, dA's glu-glu provided a .FLA template for you (hit download when you get to the page). ... also note that the colors he used aren't the official color scheme (since there truthfully isn't much of one), so don't feel pressured to use his schema.

CONTEST UPDATE ... and commissions update as well
Posted 18 years agoK, news items first, contest refresher items follow.
CONTEST UPDATE = glu glu was nice enough to provide a template of Lynx for you flash operators out there. --> http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/56405315/ just hit download when you get to the page.
I've also added all the entries I've recieved at this point. ^^
COMMISSIONS = k, so here's the skinny ... if you want to EXPEDITE your commission (or bump it up to first-priority) ... you can pay a bit upfront. ^__^ It doesn't even have to be the full payment's worth, but I'll bump the priority of said commission ahead of the current slew. Great if you're getting impatient to see it finished. =P
FANART = I've been getting a heckuva lot of it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! XD
