Presents!
General | Posted 17 years agoSome epic presents from my birthday past.
pravusbelua http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1770225/
Although, technically I commissioned this... haha... she posted it on my birthday by what I assume was a coincidence, and joy was bestowed upon me indeed. Hy00mun SARAH RAAWR!!1
GearOtter http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1778136/
I spent my birthday up in Canada, aye! While I was there, my dear gear gifted me with a present of some line art of my favorite blue feline... in reply, we made it a collaboration in which I "colored" it in a bit.

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff fff f (but ish awesome 2)
riftryu http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1772701/ and http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1772705/
There aren't enough nice things I can say about Tanka and her work... If you like my work... you'll love her's. She is a really dear friend of mine and a constant source of inspiration to me. To say she is my favorite artist is nothing sort of a fact of life for me. Check her out, please.
Finally
Luna http://luna-v.deviantart.com/art/If.....Kill-105521457
This... just... floored me..... Luna is another one of those amazing young artists that makes me regret not picking up a pencil sooner... not to mention she's sharp as a knife and a close friend too...
I'm really blessed by the people I know and who care about me... and as much as a gift is just amazing... I wouldn't ask for any more than to just get to know them and be a part of their lives. My heart and thanks goes out to all of you. You are the best.

Food for thought
General | Posted 17 years agoWho's the more irrational person... The man who believes in a god they can't see, or a man who is offended by a god they don't beleive exists?
WTF FA BANNER
General | Posted 17 years agoDiscus.
Hahaha Rant tiem noaw.
General | Posted 17 years agoYanno. I have a curse (or is it a gift), I'm incredibly pragmatic. I'm way too fuckin practical, and I can't decide if it's a good or a bad thing. I legitimately think it prevents me from enjoying things that other's seem to believe is profound fucking ape awesome shit!
Like, artwork is awesome, *Bill Clinton thumbs up* but sometimes I just want to fuckin bury my fingertips so deep into my temples that I'm afraid I'll start stabbing my brain with them, which might not be a bad thing, a lobotomy might do me some good in understanding why these things are so great. I could go on and on about visual artwork, and "concept art" (quote/unquote/double flex those bunny ears/right from the horse's mouth/verbatim/fuck a duck), but today I'm going to mostly address writing.
What am I talking about you must be wondering? I'm talking about Artsy Fartsy Artists. Who has heard of the catch phrase "artsy fartsy" before? It's an absolutely fabulous phrase that should be indoctrinated into all aspiring or pro artists everywhere. "Artsy Fartsy" takes on a few special forms... But it's generally used to describe something that is widely considered to be profound, so much so that you either need a 20 page book report to understand it, or it's simply too profound that... well, yeah. Sometimes it's used to describe ideals that as just so random that they are often confused as being so complex which is often confused as being completely gay, I mean… genius, a fallacy in the highest degree. Like, "Awmagawd, how'd you think of dat?" Answer: He didn't! Ah haa! See, I'm unto you! NO. Random stroking of the instrument, pencil, or type writer does not translate into fuckin the "freeing of the mind's mental barriers" and all that fuckin horse shit—it translates into masturbation, and I don't want to see that! >:C Infact, that last phrase, "freeing the mindfuck", was the perfect example of an artsy fartsy statement, and common justification for tactless artwork. If your ideas do not translate well to a common (let alone decently intelligent) person, then you got something to work on then, don'cha?
Inversely, there is another working of the word artsy farsty, in which people take their obsessions to such an unnecessarily complex degree that they end up losing people in the translation. This is also a form of masturbation, except it's masturbation of the ego. For example... you love words, goddam you're awesome for using that dictionary like a bible, you read it cover to cover for fun. You are a LEARNED man! That's great, but don't fuckin count on everyone (i.e. anyone) being like you. It's not impressive when you use words like penultimate, tew (even my spell checker ain't picking this one up), parvenu, edentate, ligneous, fuckin etcetera... etcetera.... It's fuckin strokin your own dick is what it is, tootin your horn to F# when everyone else is in G Major. I respect your efforts and individuality, but I just don't want to go to a fuckin dictionary ever other paragraph, okay?? Especially to find that the word you used was either vaguely associated with the context and meaning you wanted, or legitimately used incorrectly. ENGLUSH MOTHA FUCKA, DO YOU SPEAK IT!?
I mean, seriously, I'm reading the dialog you've written back and forth between the characters, seems pretty normal and jawesome to me... WOW, look how much they can understand each other... it's like... they are trying... to communicate... ideas... accurately... in away... that can be understood??? Well, what the fuck?? Hahahaha, why can't you do that for me between the segments the character's are talking? flkjhdlkdsl;kjsdfl; dick shitting ass molasses ballin douche disasterblaster!!! ASS CORN dsakjddfffffffffffffffffffffffff
Funny that people probably understood what I just said there better than what you're going for. MR. Sapient Purveyor of Syntactical Verbiage, Fuck Balls Z.
Yanno, maybe you should focus more on having a good story than fuckin having a good style. I'm sick of seeing complex writing without complex stories.
What's worse is that some readers fall into this trap and way of thinking... they think that the author is so hip and rad just because they are so unique and different with the way they cutely butcher all rules of grammar and fluidity in their works... It's the fuckin Yoda effect, "This way I speak, profound must be. Mmmm, puppet I am! Mmm, up my ass, a hand there must be." It's no wonder that author took a dozen published novels to finally be able to afford living off their works... Any normal person would never have picked up the book. It's almost just a bunch elitist bullshit... people think their reading defines them somehow... and since the reading inspires such a higher level of cognitive ability I say, haw tatata…. That makes them fab too. Same shit goes with many visual fuckin arts too... CHRIST AND BISKITS people! You know you are actually getting stupider don't you? Complexity is not a braggart's tool, it's a curse in most cases, a barrier, a problem even... so try and tailor it down to a level we all can understand! And sometimes that means just leaving some shit out of the final equation, just because you thought of it, doesn't mean you have to force it on others.
Uhhhg... Just... artsy fartsy. Here's a ancronym for ya all, many of you have probably heard it before: K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid. And, keep it to the benefit of humanity as a whole.

Selling Art at MFF
General | Posted 17 years agoThat's right. I'm selling artwork, which is an absolutely incredibly rare thing, considering I've never done it before.
It's not much though, so if you really want something, grab while you can:
http://lupinator.deviantart.com/art.....s-War-33903771
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1132945/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1561489/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1500878/
Prices vary depending upon how old the art is, hours spent, and personal significance to me, but don't expect it to be too cheap. You can find the artwork at
hibbary's table, where you should also splurge and buy copious amounts of artwork from her as well.
Also, I won't be attenting MFF this year, fyi.

General | Posted 17 years agoGod Fuckin Damnit LOL FiXED
General | Posted 17 years agoDude... wtf.
This site just haaaaas to be about all about porn, doesn't it?
Usually, I can use a mature filter, or simply avoid most pr0n images by leaving them as thumbnails... but I get a little pissed when the porn becomes unavoidable.
Bad Dragon??? SERIOUSLY??? GFTO my userpage! sdkjdsfkjhsdffffffffffffff Sometimes, I'd like to not look like a total fuckin furfag when I view this site... or at least leave things to doubt a little when I forget to log off and my friends happen to see this page up on my desktop, or look over my shoulder to see what I'm doing... or something.
Point is... leave the bold-faced dragon dick jizz off my userpage, please. That's not asking too much I don't think.
Edit:
Haha... fixed. I'm sincerely thankful actually. Thank you FA.

Photography
General | Posted 17 years agoI have quite a bit of it, but in order to not really spam your inboxes I'll wean it in from time to time, day to day, and be selective about pictures I post here.
Go to http://photolupinator.deviantart.com/ if you want to see a buncha pictures by me, it's my photography account on DA.

ANTHROCON FUCKIN JUNGLE OUT THAR 2008: THE ENDENING
General | Posted 17 years agoThe con was a blast... pittsburgh is a fucking dump... I met way too many awesome people that I never got to spend enough time with.
I roomed with the coolest cats on the 8th story block
Bagheera and
Catwarrior.
=====================================================
1st Day:
Nothing of import happened. Met the fuckin awesome
Hida and he pretty much introduced me to all the cool kids.
2nd Day:
PRAWST WAS HERE... and
Blitzdrachen... which I spent much of the con day with. That night we found some vodka and PRAWST can't handle his alcohol for shit.. or at least I kept telling the security this while we were both escorted from the convention (summary of these events are in his journal http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/419740/ and I think he had a seizure eventually).
3rd Day:
I was tired and exhausted for the most part so I just chilled out for the most part... I went on the roof with
Hibbary and her aussie friend and watched her brother almost turn into a lightning rod. No shitting you... he fuzzy hair began to stand up all weird like... I pointed it out to the other two... and then it began to like... all the hair began to uniform together and point at a 75 degree angle to a spot in the sky... LOL...
A short while later it began to rain pretty hard and there were tornado warnings so they herded up all the furries and made them attend the Closing Ceremonies of the con where Uncle Fagbutt KageCon told us he couldn't save us from the media anymore or something.
Then we left and went to the zoo where I finished up this one image for BLuts that I eventually got lazy on and rushed to completion...
I should pimp Canis Major (not sure what his FA is) too... which is a fucking art badass but too quiet! Also, Vera... wtf... you are like... amazing, but I'd never have pegged you for the quiet type. >:D
=====================================================
Summary:
Lots of faggotry, lots of furrriends and I'm already missing it. I'll defintely be there next year... in ah... protest. >:|

Gone But Not Forgotten
General | Posted 17 years agohttp://zeroa.deviantart.com/
I was debating on whether or not to post this again, I'm not in a sharing mood right now, but the noble thing to do would be to honor this guy as much as possible...
This guy, from just a few of his older works, inspired my early "style" in artwork and anthro artwork, and what's more is he inspired me... and now he's dead... and rather recently to salt a fresh wound. I discovered him recently but never got the opportunity to know the guy, and that's what really affects me.
Go to my DA journal for the preachy response: http://lupinator.deviantart.com/journal/
But the gist of this is that you need to make sure you guys don't leave loose ends, don't procrastinate on things (especially with people), love each other even if you hate the things they do, and learn to appreciate each other... Drop your bogus ego trips and get the fuck over yourself if that's something too, if you're gonna regret later (which anyone who calls themselves human should). We all get one shot at life and it's too short already... but regret isn't.
I dunno, it might have been harder for me to deal with his death if I actually knew him, maybe we wouldn't have even been friends, I won't likely know, but I concluded long ago that death is only a bad thing when you've left things unconcluded and undone.

Global Warming (my two cents)
General | Posted 17 years ago...Or "Climate Change" to be PC...
Disclaimer!
This is a rant. I swear rather casually because of my military dialect so don't think I'm blowing a gasket or anything. Just read on. (except for the over-population pricks, they can eat a good hard dick)
First off, this one goes out to all you "over-population is homfg" faggots out there.
There's like a 3% livable space in the world, and we still have enough space in Pensacola, Florida, to give everyone in the world like 3 ft of space.
Why don't you go be part of the solution and not have kids and/or kill yourselves and make the world a better place!
You...
goddam...
hypocrites...
The rest of this discussion will be on climate change:
Tim - says:
i was reading this article in Popular Science about an environmentally efficient city
Tim - says:
something about how the sidewalk has pressure pads underneath it that gather energy from pedestrians, and that power could potentially power a trainstation or something like that
Bryan says:
haha
Bryan says:
that makes no sense
Tim - says:
then there are tide-mills...
Tim - says:
or wavemachines
Bryan says:
you need people to walk so people can ride?
Tim - says:
i guess.. it's like a generator, i believe
Tim - says:
just stores energy to use later
Bryan says:
people aren't going to walk so they can ride later...
Bryan says:
it's completely impractical... for the most part
Bryan says:
I dunno
Tim - says:
well, it's people walking to and from the station
Tim - says:
you can't really not walk on the sidewalk
Bryan says:
you can't make people conform to something that requires work
Bryan says:
They'll drive to the station. Make pressureplate roads instead.
Tim - says:
i don't see it working, it's just too costly
Tim - says:
there's some weird shit out there though.. .for new fuel systems and shit
Tim - says:
i guess people are just starting to pull shit out of their asses and saying, "hey, this is a good idea!"
Tim - says:
and then people just as stupid are like, "Yeah!"
Bryan says:
well... people like to think they are part of the solution because they are following a system that seems smart... instead of just having a good idea or coming to a logical and practical conclusion/solution.
Tim - says:
like hamburger earmuffs
Bryan says:
LOL
Tim - says:
or tons of stuff that's in Futerama'
Tim - says:
the Earths' going to Hell in a Handbasket, and we're just along for the ride
Bryan says:
hehe
Bryan says:
I mean... the earth has cycles... and we really can't do shit about it.
To further on that point, climate change is coming whether we want it or not. What we need to do is just make the time we have as livable for ourselves and future generations as possible. Which, naturally, concludes picking up after ourselves and not being a buncha messy destructive assholes. Yanno, ultimately, it doesn't matter whether or not man-made climate change exists since we shouldn't be destroying our environment in the first place. Man-made climate change is a fear tactic... maybe not a bad one, but it's speaking the wrong message... it's the vinegar instead of the honey. We should do the right thing because it's good to be good... not because we are afraid... because ultimately, we aren't going to get as many people to care or do the right thing if they are living off of a "could happen" fear mongering theory rather than having the personal motivation to do what is right regardless.
Like I said, man-made climate change shouldn't so much be our concern as pollution in general. Water pollution and smog effect the health of people and the environment immediately, not years from now. We should do our part to make a better world today, with noticeable results, and a sense of gratification and accomplishment, and guess what... if we do that, well, congratulations, man-made climate change just phased out completely...
I'm not saying climate change is a myth at all, I'm just saying Al Gore sure as hell doesn't deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.
Here are a few small facts though about man-made climate change thought:
1) Humans emitting pollution rarely makes a difference, since smog dissipates and settles at a low altitude and never reaches the atmosphere at all. If all the shit we poured into the air managed to make it to the atmosphere, well... then we wouldn't have smog now would we, and a much different world than what we see today. Point is, it sure sucks for the people living in LA, but not for the people in Cambodia. It's things like airplane exhaust that do a good portion of our damage to the atmophere.
2) Humans are responsible for 2% of the total air pollution put into the atmosphere. I agree that that's a pretty big deal and not good, but removing that 2% isn't going to change jack shit either. The 98% that fucks this world up is from natural causes such as volcanos. (Fact: There's the Yellowstone megavolcano that could destroy our ecosystem within hours.)
3) Shit like the sun's radiation and earth's magnetic field deteriorating is something we really can't fix.
4) America is proportionately the most environmentally clean and friendly nation on the planet.
Don't believe me, GOOD! I suggest you fish out the facts for yourself then. I'm sick of people being spoon-fed this stuff and not figuring it out for themselves. Go do some research, please. :>
Don't be afraid to argue me about any of this either, I like that stuff because everyone is in need of an education, even me at times.

The rest of this discussion will be on climate change:
Tim - says:
i was reading this article in Popular Science about an environmentally efficient city
Tim - says:
something about how the sidewalk has pressure pads underneath it that gather energy from pedestrians, and that power could potentially power a trainstation or something like that
Bryan says:
haha
Bryan says:
that makes no sense
Tim - says:
then there are tide-mills...
Tim - says:
or wavemachines
Bryan says:
you need people to walk so people can ride?
Tim - says:
i guess.. it's like a generator, i believe
Tim - says:
just stores energy to use later
Bryan says:
people aren't going to walk so they can ride later...
Bryan says:
it's completely impractical... for the most part
Bryan says:
I dunno
Tim - says:
well, it's people walking to and from the station
Tim - says:
you can't really not walk on the sidewalk
Bryan says:
you can't make people conform to something that requires work
Bryan says:
They'll drive to the station. Make pressureplate roads instead.
Tim - says:
i don't see it working, it's just too costly
Tim - says:
there's some weird shit out there though.. .for new fuel systems and shit
Tim - says:
i guess people are just starting to pull shit out of their asses and saying, "hey, this is a good idea!"
Tim - says:
and then people just as stupid are like, "Yeah!"
Bryan says:
well... people like to think they are part of the solution because they are following a system that seems smart... instead of just having a good idea or coming to a logical and practical conclusion/solution.
Tim - says:
like hamburger earmuffs
Bryan says:
LOL
Tim - says:
or tons of stuff that's in Futerama'
Tim - says:
the Earths' going to Hell in a Handbasket, and we're just along for the ride
Bryan says:
hehe
Bryan says:
I mean... the earth has cycles... and we really can't do shit about it.
To further on that point, climate change is coming whether we want it or not. What we need to do is just make the time we have as livable for ourselves and future generations as possible. Which, naturally, concludes picking up after ourselves and not being a buncha messy destructive assholes. Yanno, ultimately, it doesn't matter whether or not man-made climate change exists since we shouldn't be destroying our environment in the first place. Man-made climate change is a fear tactic... maybe not a bad one, but it's speaking the wrong message... it's the vinegar instead of the honey. We should do the right thing because it's good to be good... not because we are afraid... because ultimately, we aren't going to get as many people to care or do the right thing if they are living off of a "could happen" fear mongering theory rather than having the personal motivation to do what is right regardless.
Like I said, man-made climate change shouldn't so much be our concern as pollution in general. Water pollution and smog effect the health of people and the environment immediately, not years from now. We should do our part to make a better world today, with noticeable results, and a sense of gratification and accomplishment, and guess what... if we do that, well, congratulations, man-made climate change just phased out completely...
I'm not saying climate change is a myth at all, I'm just saying Al Gore sure as hell doesn't deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.
Here are a few small facts though about man-made climate change thought:
1) Humans emitting pollution rarely makes a difference, since smog dissipates and settles at a low altitude and never reaches the atmosphere at all. If all the shit we poured into the air managed to make it to the atmosphere, well... then we wouldn't have smog now would we, and a much different world than what we see today. Point is, it sure sucks for the people living in LA, but not for the people in Cambodia. It's things like airplane exhaust that do a good portion of our damage to the atmophere.
2) Humans are responsible for 2% of the total air pollution put into the atmosphere. I agree that that's a pretty big deal and not good, but removing that 2% isn't going to change jack shit either. The 98% that fucks this world up is from natural causes such as volcanos. (Fact: There's the Yellowstone megavolcano that could destroy our ecosystem within hours.)
3) Shit like the sun's radiation and earth's magnetic field deteriorating is something we really can't fix.
4) America is proportionately the most environmentally clean and friendly nation on the planet.
Don't believe me, GOOD! I suggest you fish out the facts for yourself then. I'm sick of people being spoon-fed this stuff and not figuring it out for themselves. Go do some research, please. :>
Don't be afraid to argue me about any of this either, I like that stuff because everyone is in need of an education, even me at times.
Do you plan to be, or wish you could be a profession artist?
General | Posted 17 years agoI really thought about it, and the way I feel now, I honestly think I don't want to be a professional artist. I want to go to school and all... but only to learn. Art means something to me that is on a completely different level than any form of income. I guess, if someone really wants my work, I could part with it, but even so, most likely as a gift. :
I guess, I believe that for me, making a career would cheapen the meaning I try to place into every bit of my work, or keep me from making much of my work personal. It's almost like removing yourself from your work, removing you mark on the world. If I ever make money on my stuff, it would only ever be on my terms.
As you can surmise, I am not open for commission rather indefinitely, or until my mentality changes.

For my main gallery check Deviantart under the same name, I use that one a lot more regularly, while I only tend to lurk this place.
