hey everyone still alive here!
Posted 5 years agoSo i wish to apologize to everyone, more so on the request contest I did. *sighs* my life got flipped soon after it ended and with how work was I got stupid busy and it ripped me away from doing anything i wanted to do at the moment. Now this isn't a bad thing as i love my job and all ^.^ but it just means that I was delayed massively on getting any work on the model, or models i should say.
now with this whole shutdown going on I've been going hard building and painting right now to the best of my ability, and I do hope to get some new uploads for you all asap! one of the most important one is this Dragon of Salvation model! x.x I feel like complete shit over this and I'm utterly sorry for the delay this is unforgivable and I'm feeling like I'm smashing my head against a wall about it.
thank you again and once more I am sorry for the delay should hopefully fix soon with update photos and everything.
Sincerely,
Silky.
p.s. stay safe everyone i know its a crazy time and i wish you all my best wishes *cyber hugs for all from the chakat*

announcing the winner! mew!
Posted 6 years agowell as you know i have left for the last couple of weeks a little event and request for help in picking a custom chapter to do up for my little Primaris Lieutenant project of mine. After a while of waiting and reviewing the chapters given i have decided on which one will be the winner of my little contest. :)
after some much thought and pacing *points to the little trench in my hobby room* i have decided that the winner will be!
Dragons of Salvation by
ChakatBombshell
now i won't lie here, the runnings were actually really close. there was 2 chapters of the lists given that sounded really cool and i wanted to do up, as such i shall slide that second one into a 'do for later list" :) that way when i have an urge in the future maybe after my next 25 lieutenants i'll make up that one *nods*
now i'm not gonna say who it was or anything but thank you everyone who pitched in and gave me ideas *hugs all of your* it means alot to see you enjoy my work and that you are willing to give me a chance :)
cheers! hugs and love.

hey everyone Primaris Lieutenant project request!
Posted 6 years agoHello everyone, as you know for the last while I have completed a number of official design themed warhammer 40k primaris lieutenants XD now some say i'm crazy but so far I'm just having a freaking blast build, modelling and painting them it, and it really means alot to hear so many of you who enjoy my version of art! different, little more violent i guess, but nice toy soldiers models :3
now that i have said that this is were i am making a request to you! all of you who enjoy my figures and I do hope i get a number of ideas but hey! so my request is kinda simple! so please hear me out and read below *points down*
effectively i want to paint up a custom chapter made up by one of you, those who enjoy seeing my work! i mentioned i do this a couple of posts ago so here we go. now to be fair to everyone for this i do request a couple of things to be entered in this. its not much but i need 3 things from you.
`1. I need the Chapters Name and Colorscheme possibly one of the easiest way to fill this out is to use the create a chapter sheet from the warhammer community page for me. makes it nice and simple to give a name, and plan out the colors of your chapter! afterwards you get a cool sheet and can post it in ya gallery then give me the link. makes my life so much easier. also the link to the item in question is here just at the bottom of the page. https://www.warhammer-community.com.....mepage-post-1/
2. give me a quick idea of what their style of warfare is, are slealthy and ambush their foes, or overwhelm with excessive firepower. or are a jack of all trades ! this is important to the work as it gives me an idea of which of the armour types i should work with when building the character :)
3. give me an idea of their preferred kinda weapons are they more of a ranged specialist with bolt rifles and combi weapons, or do they run up close and personal and attack with thunder hammers and power swords etc. this gives me an idea of what kind bits of weapons to look into for parts.
thank you again! the more entries the better. i plan to pick one of the options given to me based on a number of reasons ranging from i love the color scheme, to how easy it is to convert them etc. and i plan to keep this open until the end of the month to give people a chance to come up with all their ideas before i announce which one is the winner and begin working on that character model :) then hopefully should take a little while before i post it up for you all to enjoy!
Sincerely, Silky.
As promised the list so far.
1. Saurians
2. Dragons of Salvation
3. Guardians of Penance
4. The Astral Covenant

hey all i got a question for all of you.
Posted 6 years agoSoooo In the near future I possibly have the chance to get to fly all the way south to Texas for a big event. there is a convention I am planning to go to in Grapevine, ,Texas and as such i wanted to pose a question.
is anyone here going to the Games Workshop Vigilus / Age of Sigmar / World Tourny event August 10th and 11th?
I ask because i plan to wander around there quite happily as this will be the first time going to one of those conventions as well to be honest normally i'm at fur cons which i love to bits but trying something new this year as i have been planning this out for like almost a whole year now. and well if anyone else was going i wondered if you wanted to meet up at some point grab some munchies at the hotel or something and talk nerd and stuff.
I don't think i will be able to take place in any of the gaming events which I honestly don't mind that much, i just want to just see it all wander around and buy swag! *laughs* almost sounds like a furcon already. XD oh boy i'm gonna get some stern words for that. Anyway, as i have mentioned just pitching the idea if anyone else is going if they like to come and meet up and hang out :)
Cheers, Silky.

Just found out Sir Roger Moore passed away.
Posted 8 years agoman... i've been reliving my bond movie enjoyment the last couple of weeks this one tv station in my home city has been slowly playing each and every Bond movie ever made! each day they do 1 or 2 movies. now i suddenly hear Sir. Moore passed away :/ what a sad thing to find out *sighs*
oh well at least he will join the other greats like Desmond Llewelyn and Bernard Lee. i wish his family well wishes in this time, and for Sir Moore to keep having amazing adventures wherever he may be now.
*Salutes as best as i can*.

skype was 'borrowed' and i mean hacked :/
Posted 10 years agohey everyone just wanted to put this up. at some time around 2:47 or so am today on jan 21 my skype was apparently hacked into.
the person who did it tried changing my passcode and then sent links to everyone on my list to some ad spam sight.
for the record i like everyone to know that 1. i was completely asleep the whole time this happened i had gone to bed at 1 am so i couldn't send out these messages.
and 2. i like to still say sorry to everyone who is on my skype list who had one of these stupid and bloody retarded messages.
now onto better news, i have had my anti virus and malware programs run though and as far as i can hope they have cleared out my laptop of any of this and on top of that i have changed my passwords for both my microsoft account and my skype account to a password that is hopefully a great deal harder to even consider or try doing this again.
felt like giving you all an update cheers.

is Luke Skywalker being killed in eps. 7 trailer?
Posted 10 years agoI have as many seen the new star wars eps 7 trailer from the official youtube channel. I'm not a hard core fan, never was never will as i enjoy all sci fi and i have come across to many hard core SW fans who would kill those thoughts for me. but anyway i get sidetracked.
after watching the trailer there is this moment of just dumbfoundedness, yes i know that's a made up word but its the closest thing i can get at this time so meh. at about 1:40 in the movie they show a hooded man with a robot hand hanging out with R2-D2 and appears to be on his knees at some camp somewhere with a fire burning, we've seen this image before in the last trailer but what happens after perked my curiosity.
seconds after showing that scene the trailer opens up with what looks like a sizable storm trooper, assault on said camp slaughtering everyone and even shows our new favorite villain tromping around as well few seconds later it shows this villain making a truly Hollywood style stereotyped over the top dynamic sword swing with their lightsaber. now in nearly every movie i have watched from Hollywood seeing a villain make this two handed over the top swing means normally one of 2 things.
a. they truly and horrifically murdering someone just to show how evil they are.
b. executing a main character or known major figure in the movie for dramatic effect and make it look even more important.
in addition to seeing this later on in the trailer it shows Leia suddenly breaking out crying on Han Solo, which i know could explained on the idea they haven't seen each other in forever and this is the epic cry love hug scene, or it can also be taken as Leia 'feeling' through the force her twin brother suddenly dying. ON TOP of that is that towards the very end of the trailer it shows the villain marching to engage this new former storm trooper now turned rebel and possible jedi character who if you pause the trailer early enough you can see him turning on his light saber which isn't important except that the saber he turns on... is Luke Skywalker's from Eps 4 ie. Anakin Skywalkers blue lightsaber.
as i mentioned earlier i was confused and had to rewatch the trailer a dozen times where i started noticing more little things like that, as well as other little things like it appears the new tie fighter pilot balls actually ROTATE so they can change position of their foils, but in the end i want to hear your guys thoughts. i maybe just looking into it to much and all i know i can do that from time to time but it got me wondering and was curious if anyone else got the same vibe from watching this new trailer.
Sincerely, Silkpaws

40k furry art. need to ask
Posted 10 years agoI as many of you know have a lot of furry 40k pieces. i love to collect em and always can't wait to find more and more artists to hopefully fill out my books. trust me when i say this I love the character designs. they are a blast!
lately I've been getting some flak here or there normally through skype of people referring to their hate over my posting of these images, or in other places like in rl at times. Now it happens every once and a while but i really try not to let it get to me though i do feel like it wears at me every time i have to sit though it. recently i had someone who adamantly really disliked it... it was in rl when this guy who was hanging out with some another players of 40k i know and play games against suddenly showed me and everyone else a picture on his phone of a piece I BOUGHT as a commission that he said he found on i think it was 4chan or it was tumbler or just some random website with shit tonnes of just random photos uploaded on it.
anyway he really started going into how stupid it was and ridiculous and just was causing me a great deal of grief without even noticing (or maybe he did and it egged him on) how his comments weren't very polite and generally really really rude about 'whoever it was that commissioned such a piece.
for those in question the picture i was shown was http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9305581/ by my friend
strype
i was so shocked and offended i just... didn't know what to say and just remained quiet as he did his bitch feast before another in the group told him to knock it off and change the subject as he was sick of listening to him talk about *insert even more less then polite words of the furs* ... which thankfully he did change the topic.
it really got under my skin and despite my trip to Germany being a huge boost to myself and i loved it greatly i still have pondered over it. and so i kinda want to ask you guys.
how do you all feel about my 40k furry space marines? I have a number of pieces that i have yet to upload and show, (many are ones i have received while in Germany) would you all like to see more and more of it? i really want to know... call it a personal curiosity that is gnawing at me since that one guy just went near ballistic over the piece Strype did for me.

Need to ask everyone a question! about Eurofurence
Posted 10 years agoI am gonna have a blast this is something i understand and look forward too but i like to ask everyone who watches my page a question and i suppose it all depends on who has ever gone to Eurofurence in order to be able to help me. Blacktail i expect at least 1 responce from you considering you go every year but still.
my questions are as follows and i hope you all can help me.
1. does anyone know of good places to eat that my not be too expensive in the nearby area around the con.
I know blackie said shi help me with this when shi is able too but i don't want to be a complete pest considering i know shi is gonna be busy doing the con works and all. and i may just suddenly get an urge for some food and wanted to know if anyone advises something in the closeby area.
2. does anyone know of some artists i should look for that may be able to do Mecha themed artwork?
this one is very important to me as i normally go to cons with my 40k furry books and i need to get these filled up! badly need to get em filled up :) i love these books and would love to see all the pages filled *shi nods* ... though with the chaos book pretty much flopping on that reguard :/ *pouts and wishes there was more characters*
3. anyone know of something cool to see while i'm in germany to visit with Blacktail!
I honestly know so little about the country and there are some items i would love to see while there *coughs* European castle *coughs* but i need more ideas so please please please! send em to me. i know blacktail has some i imagine but more ideas the better!
4. any advise on affording horrible jet lag?
another kinda important one honestly :P
thanks again, Silkpaws.

Had something unexpected happen to me. met Ed Sheeran
Posted 10 years agoAnd i'm kicking myself as i don't have any photos to really show off that it happened. *shrugs* oh well i guess.
anyway today while i was hanging out at the GW waiting for a game and doing some painting and stuff a man with a bunch of his friends and a bodyguard came in to buy some stuff. they came over to me asking if i was staff of the GW because i was wearing a Black t-shirt (same color as all the staffers that day funny enough.) but i him sadly i am not but i can help point things out as i know most of whats there in the store.
he thanked me i helped pointed things out he got what he wanted and bought it and left. it was only as he was standing outside and was getting selfie photos and i was wondering what was going on that one of the staff told me it was Ed Sheeran that i had helped, and helped them get a huge sale from...
Now i won't lie at the time i didn't know who this Ed Sheeran is and i was treating him like anyone else who would walk in. but from what i got of meeting him he is a very nice man :) made me wish I could have played a game against him actually. was gonna ask him what he played and all but sadly didn't get the chance. *snaps hir fingers* now i have looked the guy up and *nods* seems like he is quite popular and even worked on doing music for the hobbit movies which i think is pretty cool.
well in the end *shrugs* i do wish i had a camera on me or something but *shrugs again* life just does that to me sometimes, crap happens but it leaves me with an interesting thing to think about.

super happy fun time SQUEEEE time! awesome game Trailer
Posted 10 years agook seriously... I don't often do things like this pitch trailers for video games but I watched this trailer only a moment ago and... gah.. I can't explain how bloody amazing it is. I mean seriously It felt orgasmic alittle just watching it. for years I swear Games Workshop just has not had the best luck with its video game industry and I don't blame em its hard to make a good game that fits the mythos and genre that is warhammer 40k.
they have had some good ones over the years yes don't get me wrong but fuck... seeing this trailer just.. yes.. nothing else apart from "shut the F up and take my god damn money" anyway here is the trailer. there is no way to describe to me just how perfect this trailer is for this kinda game...
excuse me.. I need a shower now :3

2 hang, Safely back in Edmonton, Don't bring the Porns Home,
Posted 11 years agoWell... um.. ya.
as the title says 3 big things happened to me today on my way home... 1 is really cool, 1 lets ya all know I am at home and 1 has me... confused as can be and a little... nervous. so lets do those things in that order.
1. The really cool part of the day was when I was leaving the hotel. I was sitting around in my room watching some tv after doing all the packing and when it rolled around I picked up my stuff said my good byes, odd I know but I really did say good bye to the room that was my 'home' for 8 days... and made me feel safe during all the stuff that happened at the con. Moving my fluffy way down to the main lobby I went to give in my keycards and do finally checkout when to my utmost shock and all... 2 Griffon was in the line ahead of me and was checking out too. taking a double take I said hello, he was surprised to see me too considering he apparently wanted to hang out with someone the night before but I asked if he minded if I hung out with him till we parted ways at the airport. he accepted and so I got to spend a while talking about all sorts of random things with him which was quite cool though it felt like my adhd was going hard >.< the whole time this tv behind him was just bugging the argh out of me ... @.@ so sorry 2... so sorry if I embarrassed myself >.< *turns bright red*
2. yup as you can all imagine I am safely at home. thankfully, 4 hours of flight many more hours of hanging out at the airports including finishing a couple of books I had with me and playing on my Ipad's games while I waited I got on my business class flight which they gave me seats literally right at the front of the plane! was so excited for that... for one LEG ROOM! hehehe as well as a few more perks like they took card of my winter coat with a special hanging spot for it and more. was rather enjoyable up until something I ate back in Chicago started to disagree with me but luckily that was right at the end of the flight so I was safe. got off got my stuff and took a cab ride right home. feels nice to be home again... really does after leaving ... temp home and getting back with all the joy I felt at the con and all it still just feels nice to be on the ground in my house at my computer and relaxing. so yay! home!
3. now for the last part... the one that made me feel nervous and a little confused. When I was coming off the plane as everyone knows you have to go through Customs same here in Canada as everywhere else. I got my luggage I filled out my forms I slipped over to a lady in the uniform passed her my card. she asked me where I had been, I mentioned Chicago, she asked me why I was there ... as I was effectively a furry t-shirt on and these people are known to watch the news as it seems part of their job to know what's going on around the place in case it comes to Canada I mentioned I went there for Midwest Furfest for a con. I felt I be honest would be the right thing... um.. ya.. right thing.
Next thing I know I am going to leave when I am instead ushered by another Security customs agent into the dreaded back room... where they scan my luggage... all over again seem to grin at what they see then have me come over to another table and begin to take apart and search EVERYTHING on me... they went through my wallet, my coat, my luggage, my backpack all of it!... the whole time asking me a hundred questions on what I was doing where I had gone where did I stay etc etc. I just couldn't wrap my brain around it I was like "what the hell is going on" after a bit of wanting to be helpful and all, answering the questions helping point things out to show my honest nature I summed up the strength and asked "may I know what's going on? not trying to cause a problem I just am curious" he looked at me saw the honest nature of my question I guess and gave me the answer which... well to be honest just floored me in shock.
Apparently there has been a number of... 'incidents' recently that involve 'our community' coming through Canadian border stations whom are smuggling "illegal contraband in the form of porn images of Bestiality and Child Porn, which if found in my possession would mean I would be instantly be arrested and thrown in jail" ... for the reason I was simply floored by this... horrified beyond belief, I didn't know how to respond to this I think I spent the rest of the search just dumb founded. I continued to try to be helpful but when things didn't go right now I was getting worried as I wanted to make sure I had none of that! I had my 40k books and all and a few others one but I suddenly got really scared for a moment because I didn't know if anything and I mean ANYTHING might give them a 'reason'
it got even more worrying for me when they started to look at my Ipad and PS Vita, my Vita was acting funny that got me worried as she looked more and more upset with me like I had somehow intentionally made it do that but I was desperately trying to show her it worked it was a vita and there was only 1 game on it that was based on an anime tv series I watched a while back which only seemed to make her even more suspicious of me because I was "into that Anime stuff" then came the part where I got really scared the Ipad... I used it the whole con to play some angry birds Transformers and as a means to Skype people to set up meetings and all it never once in my life passed my mind to use its camera to take pictures of anything and yet the first thing she wanted me to do was load up the picture folder of my ipad and then when she saw I had nothing in the photo collection of the ipad she started to ask me questions on that one of them being "did you purposefully delete all the photos on here to not get caught by me?" I told her I never even considered using it to take photos which got me the "uh huh, ... so you have no photos what so ever of this event you went to?" which is when I told her if I wanted to take photos I would have brought my real camera, which I couldn't find before I went to the con so no, unfortunately I don't have any photos of my con I went too.
in the end after searching through everything and asking me a lot of questions she sent me on the way saying I was 'good, and safe' whatever that meant but man... thinking on it makes me shiver a little... it could have gone so differently... and I also worry because I remember seeing her punching so much of the info from her questions into a computer that it all may have been added to my travel record meaning it may happen now every time I go to these cons in the US...
What a way to end a con... I'm glad to be home don't get me wrong I love being home but man...

Landed in Chicago safely!
Posted 11 years agoWell I actually landed here a number of hours ago with no incident. Was a pleasant ride from my home city, though flying in business class helped that a lot. :) hehehehe I felt a little like a rich kitty again but oh well.
I want to let everyone know also that for those who wish to see and talk to me on skype I am unfortunately unable to log onto the chat program while I'm here in Chicago. I tried too earlier and send a message only to find that Skype had locked me out! Apparently they felt that someone using my account logging in, in Chicago was a little suspicious to them. And as I couldnt bring my cell phone with me I cannot unlock my account. It may let me if I put in my info on my phone but I think it said it needed to send a text to my phone for verifying who I was, and well my phone is quite a ways away :p meh.
So far been doing very well and relaxing in the hotel, tomorrow I plan to head out and check out a couple of places before returning to the hotel, that includes seeing the main building again. Yea I know I'm still early as hell for everything but hey I don't mind, coup,e of days before all the excitement can be nice too.
Love ya all, Silkpaws.

Midwest Furfest 2014 Nom and Yap annoucement!
Posted 11 years agoWell all after a while of me being busy I finally got to sit down with Reve (through notes) and figure this out one so I'm gonna put a sign up here on my journal and after that I will be asking Reve, and hopefully Midsnow can put a note up on the chakat group as well. *shi nods* so this is gonna be how it works.
Considering we ALL expect to be very busy over the con Reve and I thought this is best for meeting up.
Date: Friday December 5 2014
Time: 8:00 pm
Location to meet up: In the Main hotel at the balcony right in front of the Hotel Restaurant and bar.
now for explaining, the reason we thought that this location and time is best is so 1. everyone when we get together can vote on if we want to stay in the main hotel and just go to the bar and Restaurant, OR to brave the weather outside and walk over to Reve's preferred location the nearby Pizza place Giordano's. In addition the reason for why we choose it to be at 8pm, is with the new time sheet already released for MFF 2014 it shows that the dealers room closes that night at 7:00pm. this way anyone wishing to join us who is in the Dealers Den, or Artist Alley should be able to have the time to go get a shower, clean up their stuff etc etc before joining us, as well as any fur suiters who wish to do the same.
to make things Less stressful on us all for who will be joining us as I said before I will have a sign up here in my journal, so if you wish to go either send me a note or better still LEAVE ME A MESSAGE IN THIS JOURNAL. then I shall mod the post and add your name so we can expect you and add you to the list so we can get an early idea of how many tables we may need.
Cheers, hope to hear from you all soon. Chakat Silkpaws.
