I'm actually painting in photoshop. It's so weird. That little tickle of excitement finally came back, and it isn't even for my character. Ha! Anyways.

I passed 1,000 faves. Isn't that weird? Since I actually started being active on DA like a year and a half or whatever ago, after years of semi neglect, I have faved so much awesome stuff. I try to not give them out lightly, I get hit by the 'I have 20,000+ faves!' fave-spammers all the time and it kind of bugs me. Who knows why.

So in honor of my elitist faving style, here's my latest fave thingies, they are sooo awesome!

<- dude. Imagine Andre...drowned...hurhur.
<- Not a Jedi, but should be.
<- Yeahhh! Could be Fallout, could be zombie apocalypse, or could just be evil! woot!
<- Rogue Trader FTW!!
<- Another boy in a suit looking evil.
<- GO YANKEES! Oh wait...

Ask me either a broad question (i.e 'who is your cruelest character?', 'what is your most optimistic story?' ) or a specific question/request ('what world does ___ come from?', 'tell me about ___' ) and I will answer you. Or you can ask meta- questions like 'what was the inspiration for creating ____?

- - -

And in other news, still hunting inspiration. So far semi-inspired to start strip poker collab, and have small idear thingy for Drowned to get'r'goin again! Yee haw, etc.

And no, I haven't forgotten about the yearly OC Secret Santa. Start thinking now about who you want to participate in the exchange.

In my quest to get to know a certain character better, I've run across something that is worth 5 minutes and will give you many lols.

[link] EVIL PLAN MAKER!

Here's what I got for Ed:

Your objective is simple: Criminal Activities.

Your motive is a little bit more complex: Power

Stage One

To begin your plan, you must first kidnap a police chief. This will cause the world to sense a grave disturbance in the force, amazed by your arrival. Who is this sadistic fiend? Where did they come from? And why do they look so good in a corporate suit?

Stage Two

Next, you must seize control of new york. This will all be done from a floating fortress, a mysterious place of unrivaled dark glory. Upon seeing this, the world will die in a way you just don't want to think about, as countless hordes of mad scientists hasten to do your every bidding.

Stage Three

Finally, you must send forth your great supernatural forces, bringing about horrors beyond man's comprehension. Your name shall become synonymous with dear god no, and no man will ever again dare call you names. Everyone will bow before your extraordinary charisma, and the world will have no choice but to give you control of the planet.

LOL.

And on that note, I'm no close to an epiphany, but at least I'm laughing.

Hi everyone!

I had a great halloween, twas very mellow, I just hung out and handed out candy to kids. I did scare a ninja though, that was hilarious. I dressed a dead nurse-in-scrubs, easy costume! Next year perhaps I'll try harder, give a better shot at being a Sith or something. Anywho it was fun. Many pumpkins met their end. Muahaha.

And I still know I have much art to catch up on, my muse still hasn't revived, though, it's come close. A twitching corpse, maybe.

So, even though I didn't have the energy to answer every comment I got over the last week, thanks for your concern when I was sick.

It didn't feel like a normal cold, what with the very severe cough and my back going out, and every day it got worse and worse. Yesterday and the day before I was in so much pain and discomfort, and my breathing was constricted to the point where I felt I was suffocating. It was actually pretty scary. I don't have health insurance, so I went to a clinic (clinics' generosity is mind boggling to me, I'm so grateful to them). I have, if you care for full names, acute bacterial bronchitis. So now I'm on antibiotics, and it's amazing how much better I feel. I got like 5 hours or so of sleep last night, which is more than the last 3 nights before that combined. I also got immunized for h1n1 and influenza, so my arm hurts like a bitch. But a minor pain. I can't beleive 9 days have passed. It's a looong time. I still don't have the energy to get back into life, and am still pretty damn sick, by healthy's standards.

And I'm still kinda bored.

Still sick. Every day brings a new symptom that's really, really bad. Like last night I couldn't sleep cuz I was choking on my concrete hard phlegm. Another 2 hour of sleep night.

Hi kids!

Writing a journal mostly because I'm a little on the bored side. I had a nasty couple of days being sick, and this morning I had to work with my back completely thrown out. Not to mention my lungs are still swimming in goop. Raw throat. Pain. Resting in bed ALL day.

I'm taking it easy but man ALIVE am I bored.

I've been trying to think of a topic for `Memnalar's Halloween contest. Everything I come up with seems stupid. My latest idea has been the zombie apocalypse in the wild west / postapoc future with alien technology. I think my diseased mind is taking hints from *RalfMaximus's crazy style.

My other idea was the spiders in my bathroom starting a war and asking me to intervene as God, smashing them with my shoe. That didn't go far.

Another idea was the giant blinking cursor chasing me around trying to smash me. Maybe that's too realistic.

Basically I could take anything in the world and set it on Halloween night. I'm still pulling a 'durrrr' though. Oh and not to mention I'm still brainfarting on =aeromachia's contest. At least I have butt tons of Drowned chapters stockpiled to create the illusion that I'm not just doing nothing creative whatsoever. So. Suggestions? hahaha... ._.

Bye for now.
