Edit: So here's the background on this one... My best friend started to date one of my other friends whos old boyfriend had just broken up with her (he just got over a heated break up himself).
So my best fried and her where doing a 'long distance' thing. (my best friend came down to Florida to visit her and me a while ago)

Now... few weeks after that visit, my best friend's ex flies back up to main... and fucks him (after having visited him up there mere months before for their break up).

THEN my other friend (the one who just started dating him) finds out about it through her ex in a general conversation... fast forward a month and instead of dumping him for being a bastard of a cheat, she's flying up to Main to visit him.


I will never understand wemenz.

Welllllll...

I've got 2 days left by the end of the 4th quarter... that means two days to write the Close Out report, schedule next months meetings, clean out the registry for deprecated clients, leads, customers, etc, write 8 pages of customer facing documentation AND get certified on a new piece of software.
So I've got my work cut out...

But what should I find after browsing through one of my unpacked boxes, but my Windows XP install disk! Finally I could play some Champions and get some more screen caps... shame the damn thing was broken in half.
And with Demonoid 404'ing all over the place, burning another install disk looks like it's going to be a while which is a tremendous pain in the ass.

Hope every one else had better luck and times with their holiday...

Welp... Just tried to turn on my Windows Laptop and boy oh boy it never starts... I can't even boot to the GUI... so, I think it's time I gave that bad boy a full OS reinstall and hope that works.

The good news is, if it DOES work... I can do the fallout stuff again... I'll just need to grab all of my mods... again (way to go me for not backing up my mod folder on my portable HD).

If it doesn't... well then I just lost a nice piece of hardware.

Well, FOMM is broken to all hell.

Tried starting it up but the interface never showed itself, task manager shows that fomm.exe is indeed running.
Tried updating it with its newest version, same problem...

tried a fresh game install
moved my data folder over
used Fallout3s default datamanager to load up mods
try to load saved file
apparently missing a mod(s)?
load file anyway
arms looks a bit noodle-y
make a test pose
model trips the fuck out
still can't use FOMM to adjust the load order and potentially fix it
fuck it

Long story short, if you have any ideas what may cause FOMM to behave this way, PLEASE let me know what I can do. Until then I'll be unable to do any new sets or flashes... unless you want some really jacked up stuff.
Currently using Windows XP

Ok, Just wanted to clear the air here. Yes There is more Krystal coming. Yes, it's Fallout Krystal. And yes, it WILL move.

So far I've managed to re-purpose an old video player I made in flash and gotten a full version of FRAPS. However I need to edit the videos and as I don't have access to the video editing software I'm familiar with, I'm forced to use iMovie. I hate it so very very much.

The good(er) news: I got my laptop back today so hopefully I'll find a creative spark before the night's up to crank out another pictorial set for you guys.


Sorry for the wait, but thanks for sticking with me!

Ok, so  TheBigMansini just opened up commissions to help pay for some car troubles, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to drop a Benjamin for a 6 panel full color comic.

Thing is, I seem to be a bit dry on some good ideas that can be done in 6 frames, any ideas folks?


Oh, and the mother board on my laptop with Fallout 3 on it decided to fry itself (HAHA expensive) so as soon as I get the thing back and (probably) install all the mods again there should, at last, be some more Krystal stuff.

So he started to text my today, and through the texts, something triggered an overwhelming sense of dread that washed over me like a tidal wave. A deep and pure fear I've never felt before...


All the little things poped up when he started to text me tonight.. a few excerpts that I recalled:

-"I had seen you walking around for a long while and always wanted to talk to you"
-"Hey you mind if I bring another friend along?" "No, you cannot do that, this is your foundation, it must be about you." He pretty much snapped as quick as hell for that.
-No small talk. Tried to get into some general banter with him at 'the bell', which he then turned back onto me which brings me to...
-He also asked if I had mentioned him to anyone after this. He seemed rather intent on knowing.
-He's way to fucking interested in me. Every time we've talked he just seems a bit to peppy and focused on me. Not even my preacher or father ever came at me with the amount of interest this guy has for me. On observation it's chilling, sort of how cheery Ted Bundy was.
-In short, was to cheery and focused on me to be real. It's like some sort of dream. Like some magical genie who says that I deserve better and as I go to embrace him, his body twists and contorts into a grotesque horror covered in a thousand chattering maws.
My gut reaction after last night while speaking with him after that snap was a resounding NO. Even by his own advise I'm making the right choice.


The more I think about it, the more obvious it becomes. And nothing is going to shake that chill I felt today. Hell, I searched his name, e-mail, and number and he's clean. Too clean. (to the point of a possible alias)
I just can't shake the feeling that if I keep going down this rabbit hole... I'm going to end up in a nightmare realm.
That said, I'm checking with my apartment complex and college to see if this guy was ever present, then I'm going to go to the WPPD and see if there are any other instances of this sort of thing.
Then I'm going to do the 'graceful bow out', this is too much too quick and I can't help but feel that under all the smiles there may be something sinister. I've gotta go with my gut here and my gut tells me to throw that cobra back in the basket.

I haven't felt fear like this in my lifetime.

Confused? Check out part 1 here.


Right, So I got back from the Taco Bell with the prophet, we pretty much covered the same things as before despite me trying to start the conversation with small chit chat.

The main focus of this one though was realizing who and what I was. The first step being to cast aside my self doubts and anxieties and do what I wanted, to focus on me for once instead of worrying if everyone else around me was happy.

He mentioned that I had great power and with that, as I grow into myself and start down my journey that I would be capable of of great compassion, or if abused, great evil. He further continued not to concern myself with many things as I had "great beauty" and my energy drew people to me. (He noted this a few times, as most of the people that also came into Taco Bell sat quite close to us)

He then instructed me to read him as he had me the night before, I nailed quite a few things, but was also spectacularly wrong. He seems to think I may have some presence or Medium abilities. He then stated that he'd like to go with me to downtown Orlando and walk around the area to help fine tune my persona by gauging my energies when exploring and interacting with these different people. (consent stress on exploration as "there is no discovery without it(exploration)"

When I mentioned that I had another friend that would like to meet him and maybe come along he seemed shocked and asked if I had told her anything about him, I backpedaled and said that I had not, but thought she and he would get along.
He stated that the trek would be about me and that if she wanted to meet him she certainly could, but wanted to focus on solidifying my foundation first. While quite alarming, he did state that "Never let them see your hand on the first game. You're still building yourself, if you let her in you're giving her the blueprints to your foundation and who knows, she might have it in her head to take out a load bearing stone one day and fuck you up."
However this is still relatively alarming.
All in all, shit was still pretty weird.

Edit: Part 3

Ok, buckle in because this is a bit long (but certainly worth it)...

Right. So, I'm walking around my apartment complex last night just stretching my legs when a guy pulls up in a car and stops me. Asks if I went to a certain collage (which I did) from here we just start shooting the shit.

After about 5 minutes this guy says that I have an aura about me that called out to him to speak to me, however he senses that I'm hiding my true persona then goes on to tell me about 20 other thigns about myself that are pretty godamn spot on.

So we keep chatting and he says that I haven't been living up to my potential, that I was ment for something more because I was "Born with the crown of David". That I've been holding myself back by second guessing myself and keeping to my own little world.

He then proceeds to proclaim me a king and literally kisses my hand and the ground I've treded on saying that he has an immense amount of respect for me. He tells me that I crave the feeling of true success (which I do) and have yet to achieve it as I was to concerned on what I knew, when the key is who you know.

He then goes on to say he's been all over the world, shows me pictures of him hanging out with celebrities and stories about everyone from Michael Jackson to J Lo. His body is covered in trinkets, each one has a story and was a gift. He has a great and warm energy about him, always has a smile on his face.

He then goes onto say we should become friends so he can help me achieve my goals by helping me network and realizing and coming to terms with who I am. We exchanged contact information. He said that if I wanted I could call him and we could meet at a tacobell or whatever later tonight and shoot the shit again. The whole thing felt like some sort of hazy dream.

That's how I met a mystic shaman prophet who blew my mind, and THAT... is the weirdest thing that's ever fucking happened to me.


edit: part two

Well guys, I don't know if you saw, but I just posted a taste of (hopefully) what's to come.
You can find the five commissions I made from omgtkb:
here
and here
over here
right here
lastly here

I mentioned in my last journal posting that I was working on something... well here's what it is:
* It's a general deconstruction of trends seen in both the 'furry fandom' and super hero based comics. So pretty much a parody filled with stereotypes. (in b4 Moore or Ellis)

I plan on developing their world quite a bit along with fleshing out the characters (including more commissions and maybe an actual comic here or there). To my knowledge I'm the first one to ever construct a furry super hero themed world, so hopefully you guys and many others will come to love what I'm trying to bring to the table. (even though it's probably a pretty small niche)


So, thanks for reading all that and I'd love to hear what any and all have to say about this concept/ venture. Again, hopefully you'll enjoy it and stay along with me for the ride.
So please, if you have any commentary on this, just note me to respond to this journal, I'd love to hear from you all. (yes, there IS more Krystal coming, so don't worry about that)

Well... you guys made it pretty flipping clear that you wanted more Fallout Krystal.
in a 40 to 1 spread. That 1 person just not caring.
(also pretty surprised 41 people not only voted but are still actively checking out my stuff)

That said, I guess I'll get to work on doing a few more shoots. Hopefully I'll have two up for the month of October. In the process of moving my shiznet though along with a few other projects so please bear with me.


THAT ALL SAID... I've been bouncing around making some of my first commissions ever to some fantastic artists. I've seen a few of the finished results and I really thing you're really going to like them. (if not their must be something wrong with your brain because this shit is off the HOOK)

You may notice that I'll be starting to shift gears a little. I can't really continue being 'Fallout Krystal guy' forever. Frankly it's getting a bit stale so I'll be mixing it up as I work to build what's, as far as I know, a first.
All shall become clear once those commissions start rolling in.

TL; DR:
You want more krystal
You get more Krystal
Inbound commissions ("squad broken!")
Starting to shift focus

Questions, Comments, Juvenile remarks?


EDIT: If you know of any other great 'cartoony' artists I'm not watching yet, shoot me a line.

Ok bukkos, I put a little poll up on my blog ( http://snows-failout.blogspot.com ) where you can vote for what you'd like to see next, Some more super powered freaks or more Krystal.
Get ta voten or tell me what you think, it's all gravy.

Still looking for interesting locations in fallout so if you've got any suggestions, send em my way!


Edit:
Ok, so it seems pretty clear that you people want more Krystal. In Oasis.
So much so that it's a landslide.

Well if you guys are keeping up with my infant blog http://snows-failout.blogspot.com (which you should TOTALLY post some comments to, fo re)
You'll note that I'm currently looking for interesting/ flavorful locations in Fallout to perform shoots. Preferably ones that aren't infested with hordes of super mutants or those godamn fire ants.
SO... if you know of an interesting location I haven't used yet, just drop me a line here, via PM or blog comment.

Also I may start taking requests soon I guess.

Ok, What I've decided to do it two things, When I've got new content I'll both post a submission here with a link to a .zip of the set as well as post it on my brand spanken new blog:

http://snows-failout.blogspot.com/

Oh and one more thing, I've been working on a new shoot so that'll be up either tonight or tomorrow. Until then get on over to the blog and share it with your family and friends, only then can you become the social outcast you've always wanted to be!

So this whole thing somehow motivated me to do another 'photoshoot' only dear me I've got nowhere to put it. SO here's a question I propose on your preferred method of distribution:

Option 1:
I do little drunken/ sleep deprived doodles and post a description and link to a .zip of the set on FA. Unless I overlooked something in the rules this is not against any rules and also lets me dodge the flood policy.

Option 2:
I saw bIG-O666s latest idea of a blogspot. I really like that idea as it would allow me to put up everything at once for viewing so you can grab individual files. The downside is though that I've never used blogspot or blogged before and it wouldn't have any connection to FA.


SO, which of these do you like best or are there any other options that you think may be more viable?

Just got asked by Dragoneer to remove everything.

Keep posted.


Edit: I'm posting my stuff over at e621 You can re find it all there. Other than that, now sure where I'll go.

Edit2: e621 told me to get lost too. Sooooooo I'm uploading all of my stuff as a .zip and will be posting it here sometimes within an hour when it's done uploading. From there I'll make like a Nomad.


Edit3: Here's a .zip of everything I've got/ had on FA (and then some):

Well... Tress MacNeille was born June 20th, 1951 making her 58 years old.

You are now aware that Callie is a delicious cougar.


If you still don't know who she is and if you grew up in the 90s, go ahead and pick a cartoon you watched on Saturday morning, then pick a female member from that cast. Chances are good she voiced her. In short, Tress MacNeille appreciation entry.
(although I'm willing to bet it'll end up riddled with all of three total responses each with a link to Colleen or Callie porn)



100th piece is... moving. Work's a priority though as it nets me cash so... chances are good I may just postpone it and do more photoshoots or something in the meantime when I feel inspired and have spare time. Both of these things are in short supply however.
