Just got back from Amecon-2010 yesterday. Man that was fun. They had costumes from every anime and manga going and even the Euro cosplay judging (the white eyed lion king was AWESOME!!! Check out some of someone else's photos ).
I even got to try out my new tail and discovered the wonders of clip on ears! The cosplay ball was awesome too, never been to a disco that played 'You've got the Touch' (Transformers 1980's movie) and several other classic theme songs.

An awesome time was had all round. Now I just gotta bug my friend for the photos :P

Gah all this thinking is hurting my ego, now i needs moar sleepz

I have a few images I've been working. But, I finally get the chance to upgrade my PC and that means a full system wipe. So even if I scanned the images I'd just end up wiping them >.<

Now if you'll excuse me i have the sudden urge to draw MEGAMANZ!!

-Skippy-

So after a long and gruelling 2 hours of a meeting i got voted in for an A.N.Other position at out local gaming club. What that boils down to is now being general member staff. But that's cool, I do most of it anyway without a title.

Wootz!!! ^-^

Well its that time of year again. Rabbits mysteriously learn to crap out chocolate eggs as the web gets covered with Easter themed porn and our wargaming and RP club vote to reorganise its members.

Naturally I've put my name down for general staff and wonder if its worth sticking out another year. but that's normal by now.

Wish me luck and I'll be back for the Newcastle furmeets in May. ooh maybe a star wars day pic? Must... Find... Sketchbook!!! :P

-Skippy-

P.S.
Our gaming club is the Northumbian Adventurers Guild and can be found at:
http://anythingbutaone.com/forums/

... I should really get round to uploading stuff on here. I have, like, a ton of crap in my sketch books that i could put up here and all i do is sit around watching Gurren Lagann (then drawing the Gurren-Laggan mecha, love that thing xD ).

Anyway, Happy new year if i didn't say so. and i'll get around to those uploads... eventualy (that or Nightwind'll start harassing me :P ).

-Skippy-


*Note for anyone attempting to watch Gurren Laggan, please, for your sake watch it in Japanese with subtitles. The words are probably more accurate and their voice actors actually emote!!* (lazy-ass American voice actors!!!)

...And my inbox is full!

So I go on a camping holiday to north yorkshire somewhere (and i mean in a tent, is straight remember :P ), and i come back to 28 journals and 98 submissions. You guys have really been busy this past week!

-Skippy-

Hmm... think i need to update this place sometime.

So i picked up a new scetch book a month or so ago, and what a diferance it makes. Nice clean pages that like my pencils... yeah...

Now after I got this book the nice people who run the county decided to rip out all the wiring in our house and "modernise" it (by "modernise" I mean fuck up without any remorse leading to many weeks of comlaining). So its taken a while to get my room redecorated and put back together. That being said i've got some Awesome pic's out of it that I intend to scan, just as soon as I find my scanner...

I've managed to discover how to draw Draenei (from warcraft) and made a sig of my paladin that I use on a WoW guild forum and am halfway through a Death Knight of the same race. I've got a sketch of muddie fox's lol-mobile to upload as well as others and the gratest autobot of them all, Optimus Prime, shall be among them :P

Expect Updates in the next few days/weeks!

So i finally get around to some serious uploading. 8 damn pictures! Didn't know i did so many pictures i liked. Now if i could just get back into using flash everything would come up Awesome Sauce!

Roll on the New Year!
Maybe i'll be less lazy next year ;p

Bah finally!!
I keep running out of time to do the thing i want to. between the beeing on some stupid goventment scheme 9 till 4 and my commitments i get next to no time for me :(

but i do get time to doodle. i'll be posting a few of those when i get the chance.

Also, try and get this song out of your head after hearing it :P

So it's another year, and now I have to find a job :(
I'll have to look harder than the job's section at blizzard but those gits haven't replied yet :(

This year should be better than last, my club's even trying to run a Warhammer 40k tournament in march (information at www.anythingbutaone.com :P ), could be fun, think I’ll dust of my Eldar :)

Got to colour some of these pic's I’ve done, pencil lines are all well and fine but it's not doing them much justice :S
And Midna deserves better than that (lol she's now a level 7 mage :P (D&D))

Oh well, I’ve wasted your time enough for the day, go have fun now :D

Finaly got my results back from University... I am now a Bachelor of Science in the field of Artificial Intelligence, or in short i PASSED!!!

What this means is that i will now have the letters BSc after my name and that i can program stuff but meh, i can now progress with my plans... to take over the Gamming Industry.
First Stop Blizzard Entertainment, failing that maybe something small scale and local ;P
Maybe try to post up a flash game or two first :D

-Skippy

Well first, I got my Final Year Project handed in recently!!! Whoo.

Now I just gotta get past those few programming design exams and an assignment and I’m set for summer.

My gaming club has now got its own Warcraft guild, and I narrowly missed out (by 4 votes) on becoming vice chair of said club.

I even got a sweet image of my fursona to upload, so all in all spring is off to a good start.

All I have to do now is revise, should be fun... oh well.

Well it's another year and already I’m up to my nipples in coursework (thanks Christmas holidays!). But at least I got my internet sorted. Whooo broadband.
But meh, I’ll do it later. For now I have pipedreams of Flash game development and with it comes... Character designs, yay!
That’s right I get to update my account with concept drawings of my characters. Including my personal favorite of a dragon/cat.
So I’ve got a lot of doodling to do.

Live long, Crap fast!

Well my internet is still buggered. think i need a new ISP account.
it connects but the buggers changed the logon so that only premium numbers can log on, charging you a fortune in Dail-up costs and forcing you onto broadband. Now i plan to get the new Sky broadband package as soon as it gets here but they say that could take upto three months. So i'm down to limited use on the university computers.
Please don't get angry/upset if i can't reply to your work, i'ts probably verry good work, i just can't see it.

i'm having hellish problems with my internet at the moment (isn't everyone?). Orange have decided to buy out wanadoo and skrew up my connection, so i'm gonna be off for a while (but you guys probably won't notice anyway :) )
Anyhoo got a new pic to upload so that should make up for my absence.

Well I�ve finished university for the time being nothing much to do but play games and doodle. I go this great one lined up of tails, just gotta put him onto a pc and clean it up a bit.
Got some fun new books to read and I just got into this kick ass board game called Confrontation, its similar to the games workshop game of Warhammer but uses much better models in its style.
Anywho hope I�ll have something to put up here soon...
Bye.

In my attempts to draw a large blue dragon in Photoshop I stumbled across a fun tool called gradients, after messing it up completely I managed to create my recent upload.
Well back to coursework I guess and on with drawing.

Well I got through that with my head still attached to my shoulders. Now I said I�d sort out some art, and I plan to... just as soon as I figure out which one to concentrate on?
I got a choice of:

*A renamon pic
*Final fantasy 8's Bahamut or
*Some wolf/cat hybrid

Now I think I�m furthest with the dragon, so I�ll probably do him first, then maybe the renamon? Oh well choices.
Well I managed to suitably double over laughing at the lord and master, Foamy. I started watching Neurotically Yours at newgrounds.com it is so funny, i'd recommend it to anyone (Just don't be offended with the language).

welcome to another random rant from skippy. those of you who don't give a damn i don't blame you for quiting now.
anyhow i got a few assignments to get through before i'm gonna get the chance to post anything decent, sorry! but rest asured i will post something, probably net month, damn you university Lecturers.
have fun =D
-Skippy-

Well for starters I�m really glad this place is back up, well done all those who worked hard on this.

And then the thunder comes, bloody university didn�t post one of my modules on their forum not I have an assignment due in for the end of the week.
But that�s just a rant. Happy New Year and good luck in all you do.
