Account Changed
Posted 13 years agoSo, as according to my earlier journal post, http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2949819/ will be changing my active account and usual userhandle:
From now on I will be:
Malactus
Follow it If you want to :) I wont force it.
I will leave Virtualfox Account as is, as there is a bit of gallery and so forth, But I doupt I will be returning to use it further. (I will be cleaning my watch list here, and transferring it over to the new account: I dont have to deal with watches on this account, incase I come check the messages here every now and then.)

To change a name...
Posted 14 years agoIt's a Nuclear Device...
==================================================
Recently half a year ago poked at by a fellow fur asking an 'out of the blue' question,
"Could you upload the latest <insert-pay-to-view-furry-porn> to the trackers?"
This alerted me something which may have affect on the use of my current handle...
After doing a Google investigation, I confirmed of its existence. To be specific, it is an active 'pirate' Blog which
distributes Pay-to-see adult material from a few well known furry adult artists and companies for nearly 3 years now...
I wouldn't otherwise intervene, but apparently this particular blog has been using my current handle to
distribute these materials. Recently, they even made a twitter account which is simply adds 2 letters...
In their defense, I have to say that this handle is very generic, after all it is just the words "Virtual" and "Fox"
collided and Meshed all together. A quick Google search reveals there are infact MANY users of the handle, even before I started using it.
But after nearly 7 years of its use, Its sorta grown on me...
However, I very much doubt that they'd change the name of their blog and userhandle, as they are, #channers distributing adult material in channels of questionable-legality.
To not cause excessive notice to recover the 'proper use of the name' as the Damage has already been done,
I have been phasing out this handle out of regular use (and as you see, there hasnt really been anything new for a while now).
I have NO intention (at all) to be associated with distribution of furry adult entertainment (for now), or especially being in a middle of a brewing Intellectual Property Rights and Public Relations shitstorm.
It will still take a few months before this phaseout will fully complete. The new Handle would very much less likely be 'accidentally' used 'inconjunction with adult art', adding to a future defense against trolls.
This is just to secure that I wouldn't be associated with this handle within the change to next year.
Now a small handful of you guys know about my 'furry-drama commentary' handle which I have been using as of late,
especially after voicing my opinion on a certain video that nearly went viral.
This will be adapted as my new nickname: On the double side the handle is generally less furry,
as no animals directly connected the name, but would perfectly do as a universal handle in the future.
Unfortunately, this change has meant extensive backtracking of ALL my current accounts, and data information
which can be googled and associated with my handle, and that's going to a bitch to do and will take a very looong time to revert,
if at all. Thankfully it is only a few minor connections, mainly to do with my Second Life name, and a
couple of forum posts I can edit out eventually, but to this is all simply to mimize collateral. The more difficult parts will be all the wiki articles which connect my Second Life name to this handle, (to redirect them properly to the new handle).
So in summary I have been doing preparatory damage control as of late, mainly incase the bomb -ever-
goes off- Or if it would ever affect me in the Real Life.
But one thing remains that strikes me odd, that of the 3 years the particular service has been up,
NO ONE mentioned it to me until recently this year.
What would be your guys opinion on the subject of changing nicknames in case of shit like this?

Time is running out!
Gods ain't gonna help you son...
Posted 14 years agoSo... Today Second Life finally implemented Meshes that have been in the works for over 2 years.
This means I should mobilize all my models I've worked on over the summer. But the difficult is, there have been, and will be so many great games out there now. Bastion, for example is something I just played through over an entire day, and used up a lot of time I could have spent working on meshes. It was worth it though, And I'm definitely visually inspired (possibly, my next drawing might be pulling some inspiration from it). Its soundtrack, Is now playing when I'm working on my stuff... Now remaining time-sinks: Deus Ex Human Revolution, Dead Island, TM Canyon, Skyrim. I'm afraid my time will run out, or will have to exercise self discipline.
On the other hand, some of you may have noticed that this year (possibly, none), I did not go to EF17. This was mainly because silly me believed I'd still have a job to go to this year, but three weeks I lost it for economic reasons. So, instead, I've since then been working on stuff for second life, and polishing my skills with blender while waiting for school to start again. As I'm still in school, I doubt I’ll find any part time job other than job offers other than the ones my school offers me (forexample, I got employed as a Lecturer for a course on Virtual Worlds due to my knowledge on Second Life, and Flash course for ActionScript 3.0).
Oh well. I will have to see when I actually will try to start drawing again. Theres quite a few requests that have been sitting for a loooong while now, from which I believe many are not waiting for me to complete as it’s been already over a year. Atleast I won’t run out of stuff to do.
Oh! and those who are still playing around in Second Life and watching me, Please, pleeeeeease, vote on a bug report that I found a while ago regarding Rigged Mesh. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SH-2290
You can find a basic demo of this in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-fCaFXFevE

Posted 14 years ago---- TL;DR ----
Its been a long while, almost half a year since I last updated my FA Journal. Well, that half a year went quick for me.
So EF came and went, and I pretty much enjoyed the con; except for the fact that I got so wasted during the pawpet show and missed the fursuit dance, only to wake up the next morning with "What the hell just happened". Later I found out that I had returned to my quarters on my own drunken tail. Somehow, I managed to wandered down the corridors to my own room and successfully goto sleep in my own bed. I swore never to do it, yet doing a repeat of it during the BBF Dance... Oh well...
After EF, I was thrown into the fires of hell of work, popped in fill a void at a workplace, as a specialist programmer. As my First actual job (rather than intern or working for the school) I was thrilled to receive my first paycheck, only to notice that there is still whole lot more to work do for so that there is any chance I can purchase my own apartment. God damn those things are expensive, but I bet its cheaper than renting them over here (plus its an investment, I can later on rent it to someone :D).
Anyway, during my work period, while I still had a balance of with free time and work, my freetime became consumed with playing Video Games, and so something had to be culled. Second Life, being a sorta of a work during my "student life", was culled. I had decided it would be the best to "downscale" my stagnant business in SL, so I sold my SL Sim, closing a chapter in Nortec Labs run, after a 2 year run of Center of Gravity. This, cost me around 300 usd a month most of it paid by rent, the rest simply by my business's sales. This, was, probably the best choice I did for it, since Today, I am full up with Work AND School... and I definitely would have been turning grey or loony then if I wouldnt have any free time for creative endevors.
Regardless, with the announcement of meshes, and Finally getting used to the work-school relationship that I've resurfaced today in Second Life once more, and in FurAffinity.
---- Snip ----
I am not yet dead, just been reallly busy. I keep my self sorta busy to keep my self sane, althought its barely in the borderline... I will see to it that the requests made during the last year will be done, but not quite yet. Still planning on a date to work on em :)

3D Fallout
Posted 15 years agoOnce I survive this fallout of projects that suddenly has began raining on me, I'm going to try out making a 3D con-Badge, as in, a badge with a 3 Dimensional shape, and probably paint it with miniature model paint once I try it out.
I found an internet service (located in Europe, no less) which have a community creating "rapid prototypes" for 3D models, and I'm veeery interested in it.
http://www.shapeways.com/
If I manage to be successful, I might opening my self up for doing commission 3D con Badges. (Badges, which pretty much are like a flat 3D model)
I'm also going to start preparing into making furry 3D Models for Blue Mars and Second Life (once they begin allowing importing of meshes, I'll be ready with a huge collection of furry avatars and put them up for sale)
On other news, I finally completed my Nortec Labs website revision: Its available at http://www.norteclabs.com

Broken Pens, Chairs and Commissions
Posted 15 years ago Aaaargh. My Intous3 Tablet broke while I was working on a 3D scene for my 3D course... drunk... Apparently the tip broke the sensor inside the pen, meaning its not responding to any presses anymore :/. Had too much to drink of course could have contributed to that issue. Oh well. Time to save up some money for a Cintiq 12WX...
If I'm daring enough! Oh wait. my large computer chair seems to be breaking down too. God damn my luck... then again it was a used chair... I guess its going to have to get an Bamboo instead and also invest on a new chair, and then save up for the Cintiq :/.
This means I have to continue working on that large commission until I'm done and paid for it (oh god its a few months late, shit.... How did that happen.). And probably, after accept some Second Life Custom Avatar commissions, Sim builds or 3D References for characters.
Anyway, speaking of commissions: My good Friend Crosscounter
crosscounter is now accepting drawing commissions. You guys should check out his works! He is the artist that inspired me to draw. He is really skilled with poses and action scenes.

Back, sorta, from the dead.
Posted 15 years agoI grabbed a bit of a large chunk on the commission I'm working on for an education department website, Its been taking most of my time out of drawing, and well, by default has been a pain. Anyway, it will pay fairly nicely, and will be a nice addition to my pocket money.
Anyway, I felt bad for missing a request from
Siperianhusky a long a while ago (2 years ago if I remember right) which I said I was going to do, so I surprised him by showing the experimental drawing. I will upload the original sketch i made before switching to the experimental to the scrap book.
Requests:
Simple - (Sketch, Lineart, Cellshaded, or simple Vector) - 2 days - 2 weeks after starting
Examples:
http://www.furaffinity.net/full/3045295/

Examples:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3042643/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/940546/

As you may have noticed
Posted 16 years ago*erhm*
Yes I was at EF15, failed to note it in my journal.
Anyway, The con was smashing. So smashing, that the Post Con Depression felt like reality smashing my head on the pavement this morning (enough to make my nose bleed), and disabling me for the whole day @_@. (Mainly combination of the fact that the con ended, and the sudden depressing news from my parents today, (problems with money basically), something which has been stressing me the entire time we moved to the Philippines).
I'm feeling better now after watching Kages dvds, listening to some Tricky Pixie, and looking at some pictures from EF15. and with solutions thought up.
I will get to more details on what awesomeness happened at the con. For now, I have uploaded most of my sketches I made at the con, and gonna get ready for tommorrow as I have school ( *sadface*).
Definitely looking for Next Year:
Met a lot of Good chaps,
and joined the "British Exploration Force" to EF16.
Now, I'm gonna don my Monocle. and get to sleep :P

Augmented Reality, and Furry Fandom.
Posted 16 years agoWhile doing research for one of my Media Engineering paper on Augmented Virtual Reality, i came upon an intresting thought:
In the future, when AR technology gets (if it gets to the technological point) so small, that it could be worn in glasses, or implanted into the visual cortex, could it be possible that we would start to see "AR" Furries? Instead of fursuits, furries would don AR tags. Visually, to the individuals outside the furry fandom, or those that wouldnt have the assests they seem as just regular humans, (a normal person) with some strange tags. (or it even could be invisible to the human eye, in a light spectrum out of our sight, such as either UV or Infared) But within the fandom, or those with the assests; would see the virtual representation of the person, or their 'avatar'.
It wouldnt (and couldnt) replace fursuits, but just as an plausable alternate to it, and the ability for the user to simply "hide" the fact that they are furry and hide in the furry closet.
For those who dont know what Augmented Reality technology is, see. Currently it's in its development phase, and has a long way to go still.

Suicide: The Taboo Subject
Posted 16 years agoNo I'm NOT committing suicide, NOR even planning to take steps to do so. But its a subject that makes me think. Mainly because I want to better myself, and help others to understand why people do it, and if there is a way, to intervene or help.
Now Prepear for a TL:DR article -
Finland, has one of the top highest suicide rates in the world, next to Japan, Russia and Korea. At the start of this year, the Fin-furs lost 2 to suicide, and this made me ponder.
What drives one to take away their own life. Sure, In my opinion it's everyone right to do so, and times are rough right now; so I can limitedly understand suicide, in terms of saving the life or quality of life of others (for example, in a poor family, someone decides to take their own life so that there is more food for the rest) or when you get hit with a terminal illness, and do not want for the cost of keeping you alive to go on for too long for your family and friends.
In some cultures, However Ending ones own life is a mortal sin (and condemned in 'afterlife' if there is one), While in others, its an honorable death, if done in the proper circumstances (for example, after losing and surviving a battle, one may retrain their honor by Seppuku in Feudal Japan).
Overall, Suicide has been, still, and will be a method of ultimate escape in our world.
But we live in a modern society, with our modern technologies and escapes. Especially, I find it surprising to have a really high rate of suicides in Finland, where the government practically gives social security payments or jobs to everyone that has a low income. Of course there are its own problems within the system, but overall, those with no assets or money get support from the government, * suicide * should not be an issue in this country. It might be that that these individuals are not, indeed seeking out help, or getting it but waiting for the help to come to them. I did get why people did it in the past, but in a modern society such as this, if you get bottom low you can always come back up.
While living in the Philippines, I walked through/near its countless of slums: Many individuals, living off less than a dollar a day, lived in large clusters of metal shanties that did not, usually withstand the typhoons that occur there. Yet, the rate is 2.1 suicides PER 100 000 individuals per year, which is very light, compared to the 31 suicides per 100 000 individuals in Finland.
Of course, I'm leaving out some of the factors effecting the suicide rate in the Philippines that the country it self is predominantly Catholic (with the southern part being Muslim), and some other factors such as natural disasters. But regardless, these people withstand, much, more pain, work, and trouble to live out their lives.
Is it the quality of life, when suddenly taken away thats create our desperate need to think of an escape? I think this is the most likely reasoning behind suicides. According to some minor observation I have done, the people who go out of the “closet”, who's parents have shunned them, have the -highest- risk of committing suicide.
But I'm thinking. If you are going to “end” it all, have you really thought this through?
Why waste it, when you could something meaning full with your life? Donate blood. Assist in building things. Try something completely different! Work! Create! Innovate! Improve!
You are a walking living being able to do THINGS that no inanimate object could do. But when you sever your own cord, you become a husk that eventually returns to the earth, and eventually, in time, forgotten and then obscured by History, and then... From dust to dust. We do not know, with our conscious, if there is an afterlife, or a rebirth: but one thing is for certain, We all will die at some point, but the question remains are you willing to risk it all for nothing? Suicide is the ultimatum escapism. But is there anything beyond, that will remain unanswered.
If you are, indeed thinking of suicide, but want help
; read what I'm about suggest next:
Deeply Evaluate your problems. Make a diagram, map or a brainstorm of your problems. Try solving them. One by one. Is there a difficult problem? Make it into smaller chunks and think of solutions. Out of ideas? Look for help. Ask help from your friends. From your family, if you can.
If the problem IS your family or loved ones? think. Silence maybe golden, but in some situations, you have to speak out. They are YOUR family after all and if they loved you in the past, they will regardless what they claim, listen, but not always act. Do keep it to the point and remain strong. If they remain unchanged, you'll have to learn to let them go, and LEARN from the mistake you made.
Is it Money? Work, refocus your time. Don't get a loan, unless you are doing an investment. If you live in a country that provides social security, apply for it, and move out of your current apartment to a cheaper one. “Downsize your self”. Then get any job you can get your paws on first. There are plenty of jobs in the job market that people do not want to do (cleaning, burger flipping, etc) but there is a LARGE demand for workers in these field. In fact, its sorta hilarious, but I've heard a lot of people with masters and doctorates flipping burgers at McDonald as a job while they look for a job in more … suitable areas. They pay enough for you to live by, until you find the education your looking for or even a better job.
Learn to adapt. The world does not revolve around you. It has NEVER revolved around anyone. And it never will. Adaptability has been the key-factor that has kept animals, as well humanity alive this far, and will keep it evolving until the end of time.
I hope my suggestions and insight helps.
Feel free to Note me or email me (will provide when asked ) if you want any mental assistance, I will attempt to help you with the best of my ability. Anything that goes through me will remain confidential between you and me and will not, by any means be told to anyone else, unless required by law. I'm no psycologist, I can try to help, and it always helps to discuss about your problems with someone.
Well I'm gonna have to go back to working on my programming projects.
