A goal in life
General | Posted 17 years ago Yaknow, not alot of people know what they want in life, but after seeing a good friend of mine achieve so much from such a humble beginning, I feel inspired.
So as of now, I'm cleanin up my act... No.. this doesn't mean I'll stop making porn artz, but I'll certainly try to lead a more productive life, working out and getting into shape.. get a part time job as well as increase the pace I'm studying my course and dare I say.. even try to socialize more.
And maybe, just maybe, in mid or late 2009, when I finally meet this friend, this Muse of mine.. I won't feel inferior to her.
But in the meantime, all I have to say is... thankyou, thankyou for encouraging me to be a better person.

Londelozi Spinoff Timeline
General | Posted 17 years ago A tribute to shameless fanboyism of Lope's fictional universe by adding the human perspective to it.
According to Lope's universe, the Londelozi are a race of anthropomorphic beings that have been driven underground by humanity for the better half of 2 centuries, however, the make their reapearence in the late 21st century.
The following is a timeline of events from first contact. to 'present day' in the story.
2066-2079 A great war breaks out in Africa over uranium resourses leading to much bloodshed.
2079 Economic fusion power developed by western nations effectively ends the great war. Atomos Energy Concern, one of the largest corperate entities to date is founded.
2080-2083 African nations stabilise as wars between ethicities finally stop.
2081 Fusion power successfully relieves the world's need for energy resourses leading to an era of peace.
2087 First contact with actual Londelozi by a human, an executive from a
2085-2101 Londelozi infiltrate human society and subvert it from the inside by taking control of economic, political power. Business as usual deters an investigation.
2105 The United Nations, under the influence of the Londelozi sets Madagasgar as their new administrative province. The United States simotaniously cuts funding to the UN in response.
2107 The two largest multinational corperations amalgamate, bringing properity to millions but also arousing suspicion as to why these vicious rivals would suddenly forget their differences.
2108 The first successful trans-human experiment completed by Dr. Barnaby C. Wright in the university of Nuremburg.
2111 The UN by democratic vote, dissolves the Madagascan government and takes rule. The population were hesitant but realised the benefits of having a global entity as a government.
2112 the Peoples Republic of China completes the first mass producable trans-humanisation technique. allowing thousands to enhance themselves.
2115 The Londelozi controlled UN successfully diffuses the tension between Israel and neighbouring arab nations. Jews and arabs across the world rejoice.
2119 A proposal for the union of american nations into what will be know as 'Pan-Americana' is proposed by a buerocrat in the United State, but is quickly thrown out of congress.
2120 The Londelozi controlled Madagasgar attempts to force the League of African Nations to amalgamate, a staunch refusal triggers uneasy tensions between two powers.
2123 After bribes and threats of embargo, several african nations decide to ally with the Londelozi causing the League of African Nations to respond with their own embargos.
2125 The EU cuts funding to the United Nations
2128 Tensions escalate between UN and the League of African Nations
2130 The United Nations is dissolved, the government of madagascar renames itself as the Londelozi or 'the Gaurdians'
2131 A Londelozi operative was uncovered trying to rig election poles in an League controlled nation. A crackdown on Londelozi spies ensued.
2134 The League, after years of tension with a Londelozi controlled african nation invades causing a cascade of violence.
2135 All out war erupts in africa as the League of african nations fight to reclaim nations under Londelozi rule, The first major war in nearly 90 years.
2137 The league outmatched in technology and public oppion was unsuccessful in their military campaign. Loosing significant territory.
2138 The league announces surrender as it's war effort grinds to a halt. The principality of Arabia takes notice at the danger posed by the Londelozi and begins to build up military capability in the region.
2139-2143 Londelozi administration quickly rebuilds most of wartorn africa. Their humanitarian efforts were praised by the EU and many of the other
2145 Several nations in the Middle-East consolidate and form the Middle-Eastern Coalition, a joint military effort that would stand firm in the face of possible Londelozi aggression.
2150-2160 the Spread of Transhumanist technologies gives to the rise of phycial form customisation. the Londelozi now in ever greater number make themselves seen in public and passing it off as 'enhancements'
2160 A global boycott was anounced against Atomos Energy as they relocated their Headquarters into the Londelozi capital.
2162 Hundreds of competator companies of Atomos pounced at the boycott and quickly dislodges Atomos' monopoly.
2165-2169 The MEC launch a series of undercover skrimishes into africa in an attempt to weaken Londelozi influence, Resulting 'terror' activities merely gave the Londelozi an excuse to militarise even further.
2170 The Londelozi invade egypt and hence initiating a war with the MEC. Cairo fell within 72hours due to it's meagre garison, but the failed siege of Alexandria resulted in a small victory for the MEC.
Thanks to effective use of naval forces the Londelozi were successfully repelled.
2171 The Londelozi reattempt to capture Alexandria successfully overwhelms the MEC in the region. The defeat of the MEC navy results in the EU stepping up efforts to militarise the mediterrainian.
2172-2175 a sloggish desert war was fought between the Londelozi and the MEC, ultimately resulting in much territory lost. The Battle of Gaza was spelled disaster for the MEC as most of their forces were routed on that day.
This also meant the end of the MEC's offensive capabilies.
2176 The EU goes to war with the Londelozi, as military forces are sent to safegaurd strongholds in the middle-east.
2177 The historic siege of Mecca was the result of 300,000 joint EU, US, arabian and Chinese troops clashing with nearly a million Londelozi soldiers. The battle rages for 8 days, nearly levelling the city.
Historians say the despite being offered safe passage back to their lands, the soldiers zealously fought on to protect the holy Islamic city.
Statistics were as follows
Londelozi: 1,130,000 KIA: 800,000
PRC: 30,000 KIA: 26,000
US: 25,000 KIA: 23,000
EU: 60,000 KIA: 54,000
MEC: 200,000 KIA: 195,000
2178 A joint military effort of the EU, US and Asia, blockades the mediterrianian and indian oceans halting Londelozi expansion, This however fails to stop Londelozi forces advancing into central asia.
2179 Londelozi forces enter Russia and are met with extreme resistance while an EU lead attack attempts to reclaim Telaviv. On a side note, name 'Londari' was first coined in a famous blunder by a popular TV presenter.
2180 Russian forces are pushed back to Volgograd, while simotaniously, the siege of Kiev resulted in a pyric victory for the Londelozi.
Russians in their desperation launch nuclear attacks on advancing Londelozi forces and as a result bring the risk of MAD onto the table.
The Londelozi Global Strategic Defense Initiative was activated within minutes of the first nuclear detonation.
2181, realising the Londelozi had the upperhand with strategic nuclear weapons, the EU, US and asia all deployed anti-satellite weapons in an attempt to even out the battlefield. The resulting space-war caused the destruction of the ISS and the lower orbit of earth to be untraversable due to shrapnel.
2182 Londelozi forces assualt India, Joint chinese, Russian and Japanese forces flock to aid the Indian government.
2183 the war in india grinds to a halt as Londelozi forces are bogged down in the Himalayas. However, Eastern Europe was suffering from a domino effect as Londelozi troops conquered one nation after another.
2184 The EU sets up a defensive line in Poland and Germany to halt the advance of the Londelozi.
2185 The transhumanists were blamed for the rise of Londelozi power and as a result, all commercial Modifications were banned in many nations.
The Australian navy faced defeat in the antarctic.
The USA, Canada and Mexico amalgamate into the North american Union in the light of Londelozi agression in the atlantic.

Politics and Nationalism
General | Posted 17 years ago Unless you've been living under a rock, you would have heard about the whole Olympic scandle involving China, tibet and these so called 'freedom fighters'.
I Frankly am sick of the media portraying china as the bad guy here, It appears a civil dispute in a chinese province is more considerable than something like the 60years ongoing war between Israel and the middleEast. But then we can't blame the jews for that now can we.
As you would have heard, theres is this massive global ruckus firing up because a few opportunistic troublemakers in the Tibetan province of china decided to forment anti-government hatred. And as you would expect in any country, the government would move in and try to break up the demonstration, but since the Olympics were comming up they decided to resist and make a scene out of it.
Now ever half-educated disestablishmentarian and so called 'humanitarian' is up in arms about how repressive the chinese government is despite flying in the face of Obvious hypocracy. I mean, if you think china is repressive, why don't YOU stage an anti-government riot in your country and see just how kind your government will be twards you.
There are obvious reasons as to why tibet is a province of china
: the Tibet region has always belonged to china, ever since the 'middle kingdom' was founded way back before jesus.
: It's a vital strategic position that I'm pretty sure the many opponents of china would want to occupy and put on the same drama that is happening in eastern europe right now.
: A large portion of Tibet's population is indifferent to the ruling government, as long as their quality of life kept relatively good, Liberation will result in the region turning into another ethopia.
: The chinese people are made up of well over 50 different minor ethnic groups, there isn't a genocide or an apathied in tibet, it's assimilation.
: Had this civil disturbance come up any other time in history the result would still be the same, Except the western media is vying for view attention by blowing the whole issue way out of proportion.. Like they always do.
"Oh won't someone liberate tibet" Bullshit! You won't hear the media appealling to all those palestinians or Irish Nationalists. It's all some stupid media hype that a handful of resentful western sensationalists want the world to swallow.
Remember the crap that you saw on TV when the US was about to go to invade Iraq? next thing we know some smartass is gonna accuse china of harbouring terrorist and so on.
Now Unless you're an anarchist who promotes the disolution of All government and liberation to everyone, you're a hypocrit. Cause even IF china does (in my opinion) the stupidest thing ever and frees tibet, People will Still complain but to a china who's greatly weakened.
Don't like chinese human rights... Fair enough, but thinking that making Tibet indipendent reminds every intelligent chinese person of late nation of yugoslavia.
As a chinese I feel it would be best that my home country be kept intact especially with the world these days becoming increasingly unsafe. (Thankyou Bush!) So it would be a happy sunny day in hell before china even THINKS about granting any of it's provinces indipendence.

Some Interesting Observations
General | Posted 18 years ago It's. been what. 2 months since I finished school and frankly I've travelled less and done less physically in that 2 months than I have in a single fortnight for typical schooling.
... And it's beginning to show, my left elbow's developing some kind of Repetative Strain Disorder, and I think I've put on weight.
However, during that time my creative side has flourished, I've come up with several very enticing concepts I would Really like to get started ASAP.
So I don't know. While I don't want to grow obese, or loose what little physique I've gained in all those years of walking to school. I'm also really interested in persuing my wild artistic ambitions.

HSC: the never ending turd
General | Posted 18 years agosince most people didn't bother to read my previous journal, I might as well not post up part 2.
so heres a new subject
It's like a never ending turd I think, after getting a small break from the sad fact I'm still a student, I'm hit in the face by a mediocre 70.85 UAI score, which unfortunately means I'm not going to get into many of the courses offered by universities.
For those of you who don't know what the HSC is, it's a ranking system for post high-school study and to be blunt, it isn't all that bad, BUT, it's a great excuse for parents to get angry with their kids.
Frankly, nowadays, I'm too apathetic to care, but my parents are going on and on about it, especially considering that they've spent good money on tutoring ect over the past 7 years.
I don't know what I'm in for now. probably have to find a proper job sooner or later, and Definately need to get into shape.
While I'm content at the fact that I maded through all 12 years of schooling without loosing all my sanity, Future prospects look rather unappatizing at best.
But enough about my personal life. Lets be optimistic, I'm employed part time with a small game company making 3D models, and I've still got half a year before uni/tafe begins.
Oh yes, and if you're reading this Kraden, I might wind up having to move to canberra to attend the Uni there.
Midfur 07, The Artisan's Perspective (Pt1)
General | Posted 18 years ago Well, what can I say, the closest thing to a fur convention in Australia, a great event that took place from the 12th to the 17th, and made me a good 800 Aud poorer. But all in good spirit.
And now, a recount of the experiences by you very own arrogant, self loving pesemist, AlternateArtisan.
Took off from Sydney airport at 12 noon on the 12th, and already, I've met a fur by the name of 'sarkech' great kid, not much of an artist but heaps cool for furry standards.
It took a rough hour and a half for us to reach Avalon airport in Melbourn, a scrappy place quite literally, the terminal was made from the same stuff the hangers were. ... tin plate, The entire airport was practically a collection of sheds next to a runway.
What was even more amazing was that 30minutes after getting off the plane, the place was practically abandoned, even the terminal guards that oversaw the enterence to the runway tarmac dissapeared. which makes you wonder just how hard the government tries to enforce airport security.
Me and Sarkech. chatted for a while since there were no busses or any other form of public transportation available to take us to the city. Little did we know, we would be stuck at that outpost of an airport for well over 3 hours, at the end of it, a bus Did finally arrive, but having to journey for another 50 minutes, at least plus the fact I only had about 4 hours sleep the night before made me go on the verge of vomiting from motion sickness.
We arrived at the city of melbourn, found our booked accomodations and basically crashed for the next 4 hours.
When I finally woke up and found out sarkech was on the other side of the city, we met up again and went to get dinner. nothing fancy, just KFC. which reminds me... I had nothing but junk food the entire time at melbourn. the tally I estimate is, around 5 pizza meals, 3 mc donalds a KFC and tons of softdrinks/
I was the lucky person that night, my hotel was resonably confortable, from what I gathered the next day, sarkech had a rotten time in his stay. name due to the fact his only view as up the side of another building, and he had a room which was roughly half the size of mine (albiet, I stayed in a hostel, with another 5 people in the same room) AND costed more.
...Hey, even though I had to share the dorm with 5 people, 3 of them were cute looking german tourist chicks >.o
The next day, we gathered again to meet up with a friend of Sarkech, by the name of 'phyto' I think thats how you spell it. It was then when most of the attendees began trickling in, got the first bus load of furs arriving at 3 pm, then happily got the entire group to pick up another fur at 5.
Come night time, it was a blast... who to have thought furs, even in their late 40s were so quirky. Although the conversations we had that night largely involved bagging out various people I didn;t know of in the Australian fandom, it was still funny.
the 3rd day, the 15th, the day when the events were actually supposed to happen. I woke at 10:30 am, and rushed down to the furs' dorm, only to find them missing, they had run off to the cafe down the street. but instead of pursueing them, I was greeted by another flood of furs whom arrived by car, (which involved a 10 hour drive from sydney and/or canberra) the majority of the day revolved around me tagging along with various furs shopping, until me and Phyto decided to run off and look for an internet cafe'
Sadly, we found nothing. and cam back at around 6, the rest of the furs were all beginning to pile together at the hostel, and prepared to head off to the first of the 'organised' events, a pizza dinner at a resteraunt somewhere in the suburbs of melbourn.
.. to be continued.

Life goes on again (rant)
General | Posted 18 years ago Well, the end of year tests for my final year of school are over, and buried I hope. I'm getting results back for them in about a months time, and odds are my parents are gonna go on and on about it.
I found a part time online occupation, with a contract and all, to make models for a game company, which means I won't be posting up all that much extra stuff here, and I won't be open to any commissions for a while.
I recently 'tried' to get into shape, but frankly, pessimism and bad laziness have been my stumbling points. Oh yes, and plus the fact that now my sleeping habits have turned upside down, with my natural sleepy time at 5am in the morning or 'when the sun rises'. heck, it's 3am now, and I'm wide awake.
Tried out a few things in my recent week of long term holiday, Got the game Halflife2 Episode2, (illegitamately like usual), and played it on my aging pentium 4, Great game, and a real satisfier to all the anticipation leading upto it's release.
Heroes 5 is the other new game I tried out. and frankly, other than the art in the game, it's a copout of heroes 3, practically NO difference in gameplay. (cept for a slight awkwardness from the lag).
Battlefield 2 is begining to reach it's autumn years with me, I've got all the 'essential' ranks, and beefed up my skill so I'm quite literally ranked in the to 10% of all aviators (that aren't spawnkilling fags) and frankly, with the nearest place I can play the game properly, being a netcafe' in the city. Well, it's not worth it anymore.
However, I've recently gotten hooked by the GMod game Zombie Survival. don't know whether it's a momentary thing, but if I could find a server, with low ping and players, It'll likely replace my BF2 addiction.
On a side note, Dammit, WoW is taking over the gaming world I think... even moreso that that obnoxious Wc3 mod. 'dota' . I swear, going into a crowded city netcafe' nearly half of the people actually playing games are playing WoW. and a significant portion of the remainder are searching up stuff about it.
Now it's no problem for me, hell, it doesn't bother me one bit, when they play, since WoW itself is a low bandwidth requirement game. But because it's so frequently played, there will ALWAYS someone downloading a patch or mod or something. This dosn't seem to affect WoW players, so much since they're happily chugging along, playing an stat farming game, but it IS a big issue for people playing any other game that requires a smooth and uninterupted bandwidth.
It's infuriating to realise every online FPS or RTS player is getting hammered by a debilitating lagspike which lasts for the duration of someone downloading a WoW patch. Seriously, most any FPS and RTS players won't patch their game during netcafe operating hours, I mean, come on, why waste money waiting for a download that isn't even on your own computer.
Furthermore, I can't understand why people would spend hours on end 'killing creeps' for practically no gain, biggest waste of time and money ever... well almost.

The Religeon of Study
General | Posted 18 years ago In many extremely annoying ways, intensive study is similar to a the dogmas of the christian religeon. That I have recently come to realise.
For you see, in christianity, you have, Heaven and hell, which is essensially the carrot and the cane trick; a bribe And a threat. Well comming from a rather conservative asian background I am frequently given similar treatment, but in the place of spiritual salvation and eternal damnation, I am offered a life of 'garenteed' success and a life of a minimum wage labourer.
(believe this or not, these threats have been made to me by my parents, and frankly, I feel very tempted to let loose my atheist side on their philosophy)
And then you have the rather obvious similarity between study and prayer/spiritual purity or whatever they call it, something that every student in their student life, (roughly 12 years) must constantly do and god help you if you refuse to participate in this activity.
Just like the idea of the christian afterlife, there is no middleground when it comes to Tertiary education, it's either something decent, or nothing at all. Saying that I can go to TAFE or a low requirement course, is practically blaspemy to my parents.
Oh yes, and don't forget how much the final few weeks of this 12 years of study reminds me of the rapture, First, we get the goody two shoes, holier than thou supernerds going straight to the best Universities, then the rest of the student population battle it out in some Armageddon like series of exams designed and hyped to specifically make everyone think it's the end of the world. Just so the select few on top whom have deemed themselves worth through theur rigourous 'Prayer' get to have a good life in Tertiary education, while the rest are cast into the lake of minimum wage slavery fire.
And people wonder why I'm a bitter SOB.

To whom it may concern
General | Posted 18 years ago Now I know the fandom is about freedom of preference and variety, but what happens when the extraordinary become mundane?!, I'm talking to you horndogs out there that can't seem stop perverting what some people find sacred.
Even though this applies to a very small population of the fandom, it is essential that someone shine light on this matter.
You may think it's all fun and games, that's fine as long as people clearly see that it's a joke!, But god help you if you're intentionally doing this in attempt to contribute to the fandom, because truth be told, you are doing Way more damage to the image of the fandom than good.
Adding gentials to acharacter is not considered appropriation! If you want to be recognised for your ability, do so by making something original! No, bowser with a codpiece is Not creative, it's a cheap and nasty way to turn a select few on, as well as uttertly disgust and enrage anyone that actually like Bowser the way Nintendo designed him.
Now don't look at me and think that I am a person who hates Bugs bunny or Robin hood. Remember, most copyright characters have actual character behind them, by putting them in such explicite scenes, you're effectively killing their personalities and reducing them into mere objects, and for a person who hold these childhood characters sacred like myself, it is deeply disturbing!
A simple solution would be to find a style of drawing that originates from you, and Then appropriate the characters you so dearly lust for. Do Not simply copy the style of the original artist in hopes of attracting attention, A fair few disney and WB animators must be rolling in their graves thanks to you tasteless whores.
It can be said that there is a large number of people in the fandom who think with their crotches, so I implore you to take a more educated look at what is happening morally every time you see a smutty picture with some disney or other copyrighted characters drawn in the style that would make their original artists both applaud and protest. Egging the purpotrator on would only spread the problem, and make the fandom's image slide even further to degeneracy.

Is it true that they say?
General | Posted 18 years ago Browsing through my various older works on DA I couldn't help notice a decending trend in number of comments, which bothers me. So I as it true that as an artist becomes more skilled, their popularity dwindles?
(unless they do pron/yiff which almost everyone here can't seem to get enough of =p)

well life goes on,
General | Posted 18 years ago Some people enjoy a loud and boisterous 18th birthday with guests getting drunk and people throwing up in the sink. I however did not celebrate my 18th in the usual manor.
yup. I'm delaying my celebrations until after the HSC (higher school certificate) and then.... I'm gonna get myself pissed.

What a Tangled Web we Weave
General | Posted 18 years agoFeel free to skip right past this, cause it's just me bitching.
ahem.
do you ever feel like someone is going behind your back trying to make your life difficult? Cause I sure as hell do at the moment,
It all started some year and a half ago when an aquantance become good friend very suddenly flipped her attitude twards me, now I won't point fingers but she was not the type to befriend on impulse, the relationship if you could call it, lasted for some 2 months or so and it was purely social.
Initially from what happened I though it was my fault, coupled with her labelling of being 'passively aggressive'. Personally I didn't know what lead to this, since the worst thing I ever done to her was make 1 or 2 smartarse comments on her page (fully expecting her to TAKE A JOKE). and possibly 1 instance of sounding arrogant when chatting to her. Now think does that really warrent excommunication?
However as time passed I let things cool down, it was almost a year before I tried recontacting her. But to my supprise she held whatever grudge she had against me. a grudge which to this day I do Not fully undersand.
In that year, much had changed, I had grown less arrogant, and have learnt to be less 'aggressive' in my personality, and she has become infactuated with another friend of hers (lets refered to him as Adrian to prevent confusion).
Now heres the issue, At the time of when me and her were friends she was also friends with 'Adrian' and it's quite normal for a person to talk to a friend of a friend. me and 'Adrian' chatted a few times, eventually I trusted him enough to tell him I liked the very same girl he was a friend of.
So one day while chatting casually, he asked me a few questions, about my intentions, I though it was just typical bloke stuff, so I said, 'yeah, in time I might go out with her.' and a whole load of stuff. Unfortunately I was too honest for my own good, I also mentioned how she had a few problems, and again showed my arrogant side.
I didn't think too much of all this at that time, but more recently I've been noticing a pieces fall into places I became suspicious, from what, recently I had another chat with 'Adrian' and discussed how were things going, and to an extent, has that girl gotten over what happened a year back. strangely enough, 'Adrian' was more than enthusiasic about telling me to forget all about it and move on. (the very same suggestion he had given me when I talked to him a few days after my relationship fell apart)
I began having suspicions and browsed around. and from recent conversations with another friend of hers (refere to him as Bob), I found out that at the time of me and her friendship, she had fallen out of a relationship with 'Bob'.
In that conversation I also found found out that 'Bob' hated 'Adrian' and reconed 'Adrian' cheated with 'that girl' when they were still in a relationship.
BY this stage I was 70% sure the relationship breakdown was not entirely my fault.
Two days ago, I tried Yet again to contact her, - she ignored me yet again,despite 1 and a half years of time going by. No minor grudge could possibly be heald that long, Something happened in january 2006, Someone encouraged her to disassociate with me.
To put it simply, I think 'Adrian' didn't want me being friends with her, because he feared that I might fall into a relationship with her before him.
which could very well happen since I live less than 20km from her, and He is in Canada!
My plan at the moment is to wait out Adrian and her relationship, maybe when she a little less dependent hon his opinion I might try and contact her again She can holda grudge for a long time, but not forever, one day,, one day we'll find out what Really happend.
