The painted world, interesting.

Do you know what makes this especially interesting?

Priscilla was a hybrid, half dragon, half human. So what about our green friend, Shanalot? Born of men and dragons. A hybrid. And where does Shanalot truly reside, ignoring her fragments?

The Dragon Aerie.

What is that

The dropped in snowy image is a location from the first Souls game. Really obscure too.

The main image with the dragons is a location in the second game. With all the time distortion and other stuff in souls, this is pretty interesting to think about.

The Flood / Re: Apparently I have a Vitamin D deficiency
« on: November 07, 2014, 09:36:27 AM »
On the subject of sunshine, my province is one of the heaviest in Canada for vitamin D defeciancies and the diseases that come with them.

We're in 8 months of winter for most of the year. And let me tell you, over half of that is buried under clouds and the rest is people not wanting to step foot outside, which, I can't blame them. Take into account that exposed skin freezes in a few minutes, and at the most a small portion of your face is exposed to sunshine in the winter here.

But, on the subject of mood swings, you learn something new every day! The environment plays quite a factor in how we operate as people, and some are more adversely affected than others.

I go through a depression in the fall. It's not my own. It's an outside one that comes with the environment, the change in sunlight. And it likes to go jogging around the block with my own depression and shitty thoughts which normally stay nice and quiet in a small corner as they're told.

So, in conclusion.

Oh fuck, content of today.

The fact of the matter is, the internet is still incredibly young. Remember, it's only existed for something rouhgly along the lines of 24-25 years.

That means all the awesome shit we've seen today is just the tip of what's to come. However, stepping back 10 years in time and losing all of it? I don't think so. That would suck ass.

I can't tell if door spider is a big momma because it was carrying kids around a while back, or just a descendant to replace big momma. Needless to say, I have a bad feeling about what lives under my office carpet.

Remember when canon stated that all Spartans had identical armor?

Pepperidge farm remembers.
It twas a simpler time, indeed. Then we needed customization in MP, and suddenly now all Spartans must have their own personalized armor sets that reflect their personality. Because, that's totally how a real military functions.

This is what I argued at some point as well. Having all these customized spartans was unneccessary, because it it's core, the standard green mark 4, 5, and 6 was standard issue. Usually, when standard issue is used, this means it's the jack of all trades.

And MJLNOR was built in that sense. It performed well in generally all fields, and because of it's compartmentalized simple design, all you had to do was literally attatch the things you needed. In which case you didn't need fucking much because it was already so damn good. Extra cameras, ammunition belts, thruster packs for space eva's and so on.

I was fine and dandy with customizeable MP armour, cause it was fun. But I will never forgive Bungie for starting that fucking trend, and I will bite 343's ass for not dropping the fucking ball with this shit.

Green Spartans, standardized, uniform jack of all trades gear, simple, little attachments because the armour was built to operate in every line of work a spartan would need to in the first fucking place.

There is also the fact that I'm not sure where my style is headed yet. But, I'm getting there. Little mix of realism, little mix of exaggeration.
Oh of course, but the basics have to come before anything else if you want to progress. Learning graff taught that to me better than anything.

To give you an impression of how learning impaired-ish I am, I failed my swimming lessons as a kid. Utterly failed. I failed my driving lessons multiple times in high school.

But, when I stood back, and watched, gave it some thought, and then acted alone, I did it in one shot.

Point is, this isn't a stubbornness I can just ditch. I just gotta do stuff myself. Hell, I learned everything I know about my writing over a period of three years by self examination alone.

But it's fun. I'll get the hang of it, you'll see. Just gotta give my gears time to turn and they'll line up properly one day.

That's a little bit of an issue with me. I don't follow conventional rules. In fact I can't. I cannot look at a lesson, and replicate it. I have to study it, with my eyes, pick out what speaks to me, replay it in my head, envision myself doing it, and then jump.

Lessons and such don't stick into my head. I've got to take apart shit and do it myself. That's how I learn. Which, frankly, can be a hindrance. Because I don't pick up on shit unless I've experienced it. But, none the less, it's an adventure. And it's solely my own. Self discovery is best discovery.
I've learned this way with just about everything so far when it comes to my art, but I can't do it with anatomy. I just can't. Everything I sketch has issues that bug the living hell out of me and it all looks too stiff and forced(?) idk.

I'm giving this a shot and from what I've seen so far, the basis of this book isn't about strict lessons and a very structured process. In fact the first thing the author states is that the book isn't meant to be followed strictly and that adding your own take on certain things or rearranging chapters to your liking is encouraged etc.

There is also the fact that I'm not sure where my style is headed yet. But, I'm getting there. Little mix of realism, little mix of exaggeration.

We all gotta vent sometime. But, like some folks said, drunken thoughts are pure thoughts. Unchained and free to release themselves to the world.

Perhaps those words of yours were not so serious. But, they still show that things don't have you feeling the best. Which you can't be blamed for. So, in that regard, welcome back. I hope that whatever shit's happening on your end can be sorted out.

There's no shame in venting though. Speech in any capacity helps. So, I hope you're feeling a little more grounded now. But, come on up bud, what's got ya down will pass. You'll find a way.

Thank you, Sandtrap. c:

Last I heard you were sick and god knows what else, so I hope you're doing okay too

Ya'll missed it! I went into a coma for a bit! Came out of it. Did some thinking. Revolution of the mind. Got all pissy cause it was still fall. Reached my 22nd birthday alive and well. And then winter rolled in! My body's recovering back to normal, second wind now.

And so here I am. So very alive. No more chains and bullshit on me. I am free in the fullest sense now! Back to things and away I go!

My day is strange. It's a joke actually. Today, is nothing but comedy! But it's more. Apart from laughing at everything, there's a fuck ton of energy. Too much. Can't concentrate so well today. It's like a natural sugar rush I suppose. But it has been so very good. Progress, and laughter, and such a strong will to move. Very good indeed.

This book is fucking amazing. If you're ever serious about learning anatomy and figure drawing then look into it.

The Chosen Undead on the other hand...

Last I checked the CU wasn't much of a talker. Maybe a few cries of anguish but that's it. So, the CU is an introverted edgy person with too much power?

Probably right. I wonder who would win in a fight though, assuming the CU and DB are wearing their mascot stuff (Elite knight, Iron armor etc)

If we're going by mascot apperances and not endgame world killers here, actually, that's a little tricky. All DB can do is yell sit the fuck down at CU. But if CU is good with his roll frames, he can ninja that shit. CU has better protection than DB in terms of armour coverage I believe. But still, it'd be a close one.

I mean think about it. What do you most often hear when people get into verbal fights? Swearing. So, wouldn't it be safe to assume that when dragons have a fight with one another, they're actually just cussing each other out?

The greybeards are just older men and highschool teens who've grown "meh" with swearing.

And the dragonborn is a kid in a candy shop who just discovered that "flaming fuck nugget" in dragon speech sets people on fire.

They keep changing size...

In four they were huge, now their spartan sized.

Wish they just kept with the halo reach build.
That must mean humans are all the same size too, huh?

True, but in four they were a good few feet taller than the chief. Same with reach and the three's. Locke seems to be a four, so they should dwarf him even more so.

I know it seems a bit pragmatic going on about trivial shit like this, but hey.
1. Elites on average range between 7'4"-8'6"

2. They are hunched over somewhat. In Halo 3, because the Elites were hunched over, they were about ~7'

3. In addition to their already fearsome height in Halo 4, they are also wearing "high-heels".

Gotta look stylish for the Sangheilian woman while killing stuff right?

Well, compared to you folks, I'm not particularily special. But, today, today is an achievement. Because today, I understand how I operate!

It took me two months of self study and absolutely no drawing, but I fucking did it. I know exactly how I operate. And so, piece by piece, bit by bit, I ripped something out of my head. So, I present to you, in rough sketch form, Izz. A cyborg from one of mein stories.

Now comes the really fun bit. Colour, and the final details.

No shittyness here amigo. Although, I admit, I don't feel like fucking getting up when it's dark as the moon outside.

However, give it time and I get up with a spring in my step, and off I go. Even if I feel like I got ran over by a train from the last day's work, there ain't shit to keep me down in the morning.
i'd kill to feel this way :/

You just gotta find your chains and cut em. Could also depend on the time you wake up. I know I fucking detest waking up early. I feel more comfortable waking up a bit later in the day. Or, could be you get too much sleep too.

Too much sleep makes you feel like shit.
