Another update by me, as of December 9th, 2014. It has been a long time since I've done anything worth mentioning. I've come to realize that, as an artist, I'm not exactly great, and since I have absolutely no solid work ethic when it comes to doing art, I'm just not focusing on it anymore. That isn't to say that I've given up on art. Quite the opposite, actually. I still love art and music and writing and other kinds of stuff that constitute art. I'm just not going to try and force myself to be something I'm not. To everyone I've promised something to, I'm sorry, but chances are I won't be finishing anything anytime soon, if ever. It really is hard to say that, because I feel like I'm letting down all of the people who have taken the time to follow my progress since I joined this site back in high school.

Now, before I get any comments like, "Oh, don't say things like that! You are a great artist" please understand that I don't mean my art is terrible. I know that it is better than some people can do, and that, somewhere out there, someone has probably looked at one of my pieces and thought, "Wow I wish I could draw like that!" I know I've done that many a time here on FA. What I mean is that I probably won't ever have my name recognized by a lot of people. To me, my art falls into the category of 'average'. And I'm damn proud of that. The fact that some of my art has been featured on the pages of people like  tapewolf makes me inexplicably proud that I've been able to do what I have done.

So, what does all this mean? Am I leaving FA? Am I going to delete all of my work and disappear? No. Not at all. I may still put some new stuff up from time to time, even. But mostly what I plan on doing is trying to help out other artists who have a lot more invested in their work than I do.

Without any further ado, please, if you haven't already, go and check out my main page. I've written both what you've read here, and about another user here on FA who deserves support.

I know, I know. Blasphemy and whatnot. The reason for this short post is to explain my absence after my supposed come-back. You see, my cpu had a slight case of "Got Struck By Lighting." Yeah.

So as you read this, please keep in mind that I have posted this by Nintendo 3DS.

Also, it should be noted that I am currently looking for a way to hopefully access my hard drive so that I may retrieve all of the originals of everything I've uploaded here on FA. Please wish me luck on this endeavor. And I hope that soon I will be able to get more art to you all and fulfill some long belated promises.

Thank you all who are still with me!

Today I decided to go up to my hidey hole in the attic and pull out some old art that hadn't seen the light of day for years. As I'm going through the stuff, there are some pics I got off of the internet that my parents would kill me for if they knew I still had them. So I smiled, and continued on to my old art...

And just about fell down the ladder. Now I remember why it hasn't seen the light of day for 5+ years. It's all shit and tracing. That's right. Tracing.

Back when I first got started, I bought a book entitled "Step-By-Step Manga" which was supposed to teach me how to do the basics and some pre arranged characters. So I cracked open the old book again and lo, there's the basics. So I decided to start over again for the hell of it. I do step 1: the match sticks; step 2: shaping; step 3: depth; and then I get to step 4.

Ahhh step 4. How I now remember why I HATED YOU SOOOOOOOOOO!!! /raeg

Step 3 was essentially basic shapes making up the human form. Step 4, however, was the damn finished product. It was like the author took his students out to a desert, dropped them out there with everything they'd need to survive for a week until help arrived, and said, "Good luck!" then drove away. IT'S MADDENING!

No wonder I went through that tracing phase all those years ago. "¬_¬

It's not the most popular of countries, I realize, but it's still my home; and when I see something as rude as I have today, it really irks me.

Now I'll admit, I don't thoroughly enjoy living in America, but it's not the worst place I could be living, either. That being said, whenever I see something like this

"Okay so we are late again..Ooops. First off blame the yanky [holiday]. Those jerks do it on a Thursday! What the hell?"

and

"Anyways Happy Yank [holiday] to the yanks. To the [citizens of a certain country], we are better then them and have [the holiday] at the proper date in October."

then have that followed up by a comment reply

"Well if that upset you, you should probably stop reading my comments then."

it really pisses me off.

I don't care who you are, or what's happened in your life. You don't just bash some other country and their customs like that in public, where many people can and will see it. You just. Fucking. Don't.

Inb4 comments about being a hypocrite, I know that the USA is pretty much doing the same thing to the Middle East, but I'm not the USA. Don't get on my case because the US gov't is full of idiots.

So to those of you who may know what I'm talking about, you'll never see me post a comment there again, because that certain site is being removed from my favorites and bookmarks. If someone is so rude that they think they will maintain readership for being a dick, then they are rudely mistaken.

That is all.

My latest submission if you've already seen it.(11:05 EST AMERICA)

The ORIGINAL Transformers is now on HUB.


That is all.

Friggin' mothers. No matter what I do, she ain't happy. What brought this rant on? Laundry.

My folks are going to the mountains for the weekend with some friends, and I'm trying to get the house to a presentable level so my mom doesn't have a fucking conniption, and she only asks me to do one thing today, which is a load of towels. When she called to ask me to do that, I had a load of blue jeans in, and was doing a detailed cleaning of the stove top.

The stove involves me letting the nasty, greasy parts soak in hot, soapy water AFTER they've gone all night tied up in trash bags outside with ammonia. That's how nasty they are. So I'm working on this for hours and forget my jeans. When I remember those, I fold them and get back to working on the stove and kitchen and living room. I just happen to forget the towels. So 3:30 rolls around, and I tell my dad I forgot the towels and need to throw them in the wash. He tells me to wait, because he's just about to get in the shower. I say, "OK," and sit down for a while.

So my mom calls at 4:00 and I apologize that I forgot her towels while cleaning the rest of the house... and she gets pissed because now she won't have any clean bras over the weekend...

That tidbit of information would've been useful about THREE HOURS AGO when she first called! I try to explain to her that I got busy cleaning the rest of the house so she wouldn't have to be OCD about the house the whole time she's away, and she continues to complain. Finally I raise my voice a bit so she would listen to me and she just tells me, "Don't get mad at me. You should've had this done hours ago."

Well you know what? Fine. One of the few times I do something huge without her asking me to do it and this is how she responds? I don't even know why I bother sometimes.

... Is my dA page getting more love than my FA account, which I've had longer? Why is it that my mature submissions are getting less love there than my standard ones? Why do all of my submissions have more views in general?

I think it has something to do with the Group Feature option. It'd be really cool if we could get that here, too. I mean, less than a couple of weeks after I started submitting things to dA, someone asked if I do requests. I've never had that here.
I'm getting so many more comments on dA than I've gotten here.
Every single one of my submissions has been favorited by at least one person (save the one scrap I've done, but that doesn't really count).

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

(Disclaimer: All of the above comparisons are relative.)

First of all, let me say this: this isn't about people making crappy posts in a RP, this is about people being stupid and non-creative when it comes to making a RP character.

Basically put, I've RP'd before, and it can be fun. The best part is coming up with a unique character, who has a unique look and is the RP'ers own creation. But way too often people get lazy with that.

On most forum RP's I've seen, there are two threads: the main/story thread; and the set-up thread. The set-up thread is where people go to join in the RP and have their characters evaluated. When I look at some of the posts I smile, because someone put some thought into their character. What pisses me off is when I see this:

"Name: Ned Ulrich
Age: 16
Height: 4' 11"
Hair color: blonde, pulled back in a braid and antenna-like bangs
Eye color: gold
Clothing: Black pants and shirt, with a brown belt, large black boots, and a big red hooded jacket, with white gloves
Special Traits: Can create things by clapping his hands (totally not like alchemy though)
Ref Pic: [insert google'd pic of Edward Elric (from Full Metal Alchemist) here]"

That's the kind of crap pisses me off. I don't know if it's just n00bs or what, but stop pirating characters from stuff you like and make your own damn characters. I've never pulled a picture of an already existing character off of the internet for a RP. I've always, ALWAYS made my own, or gave a very detailed description! Not only is it lazy, it's copyright infringement, and changing the name and back-story of the character for an RP does not count as making your own character.

Personally, I think anyone who's ever even used the words "looks like [already created character's name from somewhere else]" as a RP should be immediately told to GTFO of that thread and only come back when they've created a character that they've come up with on their own. They can even do a shitty drawing on a piece of notebook paper and scan it, for all I care. And if it happens to look like yet another already made character, either see if it was intentional or ask them to change it.

That's my two cents. What's yours?

Today I have pre-ordered my copy of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (for PC). I almost sprang for the Collector's Edition which contains a cloth map of Skyrim, the Skyrim soundtrack, and an approximately one-foot-tall Dragon statuette. I ended up getting the regular version, because anyone who pre-orders gets the map anyways, and I don't have the extra $100 to spend.
(Your welcome, Bethesda, as I have just done a wonderful act of advertising for you.)


Take a look at these videos below. The first is the official Skyrim trailer, and the other three are part of a Skyrim game-play demo.

Is it not nifty?

4. You have to choose 11 people to tag and post their icons on your journal.
5. Go to their page and tell them you have tagged him/her.
6. No tag backs.
7. No stuff in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you are reading this." You legitimately (AKA, really, truly, with all honesty) have to tag 11 people.


1) What's the best memory you have to date?
The day I met and fell in love with the girl of my dreams, literally.

2) What place do you want to visit the most?
The Black Forest in Germany.

3) Do you have any fears?
Death.... my mother... death by my mother? She brought me into this world, I'm sure she can take me out of it, too.

4) How did you find out about the furry fandom?
Tbh, I really don't remember, but I knew that one day, I was a furry, so I typed in 'fur affinity' in Google and made an account, then made this one.

5) What do you think of the person who tagged you? (haha ;3)
She's a big meanie for taggin' me when I didn't even know we were playing! T,T /sarcasm
But srsly, she's a pretty great person for having never met her, and does some pretty impressive art.

6) What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
Exposition time!
My senior year of high school (i.e. earlier this year) my physics class final was to form a group and build a boat out of cardboard and duct tape and glue, which we named the S.S. Old Greg. We built the boat, but the two girls who were crewing it had no idea how to work it, so it sank. As it went under, I began running for the water and jumped in screaming, "FOR THE OLD GREG!" And began swimming in its place. Unfortunately, I misjudged the distance to the buoy while swimming against the wind. I ended up floating back in with another classmate who had the same idea, but had tried to drag along his almost sunken vessel as well, and was quickly chastised by my substitute physics teacher (the actual one was out for most of the year on maternity leave).

7) Would you let people toss eggs at you for money?
Only if they were scrambled.

8) In three words describe yourself.
Hypocritical pervy nerd

9) Did you notice there was two eights?
Yes.

I'm fine with it so long as no guys in the Rainbow Republic hit on me.
