I am somewhat impressed shinybob remained stable when Painter Classic going NOM CPU pushed him to 82C. But seriously, wryyy you eat all brains, Painter? And wryyy you build computer with such processor and (lack of) cooling, Gateway?

But hey. I got my muse to draw something, despite both my reproductive system and my back killing me. Seriously - how did I pull a muscle just by sleeping curled up funny?

See, the Fox's multi-sensor was being discussed in MMM-land, and there it pretty much amounts to "unless you jam it, Fox can see you" for the sake of sanity and simplicity. Things got a bit flaily, warador got a bit disgruntled and said this.

Yes, I am aware it has perspective issues and a GIANT SCARY SD HEAD. But it's one of two computery things I've drawn at all recently, the other being this. Failll, art muse D:.

Character finally deciding to "talk" like the others I've got bouncing around? Good, okay. Great, even, that'll be useful. But the lot of them need an off switch, or at least a "do not suddenly interrupt other plot-poking sessions" switch.

"This is revenge for letting that serious plotbunny stew too long, isn't it? You're not getting that kind of scene. It doesn't fit in-story."
"It would if you added it to the random later bits you have ideas for."
"Maybe, but I don't write sex either. Shut up!"
"- oh, cool. Raspberry flavored water."
"Wait, where did you come from? And please, TELL ME THAT WAS NOT CONNECTED."
"Connected to what? You've been at the 80s crack again."
"Maybe."
"Put it down. You're behind on RP."

I BET I GET PLOT IDEAS RIGHT AS I HAVE TO LEAVE.

Random pointless doodles: Collapsing PORN (from fandom_me's 5000 comments post), BE ENTERTAINING (as per order of warador). The former is entirely worksafe other than containing the word "porn", really.

staring at ur ligars

Those are...pretty pathetic trees, and you can tell my brain rebelled halfway through and was all "NO. NO MORE LEAVES". Methinks I must practice/be less lazy.

I used to draw these things when I was a kid. The long legs were because it lived in swamps, and the colors? I think the first time around they were mainly because my orange marker still had a lot of orange left :p.

(I also cannot remember if I posted this.)

Whooooo, queasy.

...IT'S CAPTAIN PLANET!! (edit) Speaking of Captain Planet...what the hell? I do believe that's the New Adventures, which were weirder, but WHAT XD.

Brain: ITCHY.
Me: Here, have a full adult dose of Benadryl when I should take the kids' one, because the kids' one fails.
Brain: STILL ITCHY, THOUGH SLIGHTLY LESS, WHICH IS GOOD. ALSO, WHEE.
Me: Well, crap. You're thinking in bold now?
Brain: GURGLE.

ALSO, I LIKE FALL OUT BOY. QUITE A LOT. OH NOES.

Speaking of music, have Random Playlist, already 5-some songs out of date. D'oh!

I tried encoding h264 video on the other compy...and it took ages. I don't have much to show for my experiments (several of them failed) other than the pic I put up on screen so someone wouldn't close my encoding window.

Screenshots taken for ZE, free for ganking for other things. Get 'em before I get mad at the space they're eatin'.

Quick! We need a mascot!

a) ZE is back proper
b) MOOOOOOLGA

What is it about Molga that's so incredibly fun to say?

Elements is still a RAM-devouring [expletive deleted]. What the hell was it doing with 320 megs of the stuff and 350 megs of my page file for a small picture? Also, is there some reason my eraser is erasing to white and not transparent?

At least the pressure sensitivity no longer dies in fits of Flail - and it and Firefox get along enough I can find reference pictures without lag from hell.

Have a test pic, which proves I have forgotten how the brushes work and need to draw more :D.

...yes, that is Hiou and a can of Red Bull. Blame Alteka and mystickskye.

I also found this and this in the sketches folder, unuploaded. Huh.

Bonnie's copy of oC effed itself up, and while I found the presets (thank you, Process Monitor), deleting them hasn't fixed it. And...well, it's pretty hard to find help for 1.1 and there is no "just reinstall" D:. So we messed around with DrawPile, which doesn't have layers or undo, but hey:

http://www.creativeinsanity.net/art/drawpile/droppingspiderz.jpg (1.3 MB, dialup users beware! And yes, I know I spelled DESTROYER wrong)
http://www.creativeinsanity.net/art/drawpile/bitey.jpg (581kb, see just the Gorhecks)

Any other suggestions for networky drawing are welcome!

Liger Red Hiou = :D :D :D. IT'S CLEAR PINK :D.

And I have new Gundam Markers, which means time to test on the HMM!Wolf's plastic, and if they work well? I WILL FINALLY GET TO BUILD IT :D.

What happens when you typo Blade Snap with the regularity I do?

BLADE SNAPE, THAT'S WHAT.

"Now look here, PAL!"
"What, mister NTSC?"
"No, I mean...wait, WHAT?"
"WHAT? That's not a standard, do you mean SECAM?"
"...stop doing that!"

Brain's been wanting to work out wild Gilvaders (why? because it can), so have a sketch that got a bit more attention than it should have, plus its event file (use file, import event file to view). koobine was curious how I shade stuff...and I rarely draw something all in one go, so I figured it was a good chance to share one.

I also lost a day to sleep and Discworld. Stupid addictive books.

Zoid note: Power Mantis' colors look a lot better in person and I love the pinthings used in construction...but I actually like the Mammoth better design-wise.

Also, ( that meme. you know, that one. )

Bonnie goes back tomorrow, but she goes back with a crapload of chocolate. Hah.

My sister, upon seeing Resurrection of the Daleks, started cracking Tegan/Turlough jokes and was all "wtfsgl?" when I mentioned that that was actually a neglected pairing and Doc 5/Tegan far more popular. Meanwhile, Bonnie seems to be becoming something of a Turlough fangirl, because he's just that fun.

This, of course, means I win.

Trying not to angst, yeah.

Made this. Still needs some bits. And...uh.

( More distraction, a survey ganked from Natsumi )

Chicago is still really freaking awesome in these headphones, just like Tull.

Yeah, I'm doing the art trading card thing too. I have four done and will make more and photo the lot tomorrow or thereabouts. It's Happy Hormone Evil Fun time and that always means not being able to sleep, so...I might as well do something.

If you want to trade or are one of the people from the holidays who I didn't get gift art to yet, gimme a spork and I will save something once they go up. No requests of specific subjects, but I will of course take ones for specific cards o_o.

Speaking of art, though...some pics of sketches, mostly dodgy because light pencil + not enough light + my camera = bad photos.

AAH WTF doggy, random thing drawn on crappy lined paper that I liked enough to keep.
Bitey likes you.
Squishy Deadborder
Thing drawn in a moving car...in all of a couple minutes, while my sister was drawing weird opera people and I felt compelled to draw something silly in revenge. Fear my incredibly crap stick figures.
A birdy orgnaoid (along with a closeup and earlier sketches). Needs refining, otherwise I like the idea.
YOU EATED MY SALAMANDER. Will hopefully be colored.

Mach wants minor redesigning. Thus, you also get my flailing to do so, at varying quality levels. As scatterd as those are, I think he's starting to get more consistant. At last.

My shoulders hate how I sit to type. I must figure out better ways, so they do not hurt.

I need to make a Bitey icon.

I tried to practice drawing proper Zoids and then my hand died. Thus, I sketched a bunch of useless crap instead, like this and this (I am now reminded why I haven't tried to draw blood since I went through a phase of doing so as a Watership Down-corrupted child...) There is also what I drew attempting to find the cause of GIMP/oC crash issues. Yes, it says "hey, gaim, please fuck up", I was very annoyed :p.

Also discovered was an oldold holiday doodle involving why Zoids characters + Christmas family reunion = bad ("Guylos is kidnapping the candy canes, mom"), and I quickly traced over kid Wolff and a spork, because it demanded it. (don't ask me how Prozen's holding onto that sweater. IT'S MAGIC VELCRO.)

My writing muse is stuck on fragments mode. To add insult to injury, it gets distracted halfway through said fragments and leaves me with scattered pieces of story that go nowhere.

Well, it's also spat out ( these things... )

Dude, I updated my main page.

This is, I streamlined it into one page so it's more the portal to other things it should be, then made a better 404 error page.

NOW. A while back Momonga posted this thing and I said I'd do it...and then forgot. Twice.

How this thing works? I offer to draw a random sketch for five people, so long as the five people agree to post somewhere (LiveJournal, DeviantArt, whatever) and do the same for others. So who's in?

(And no, Momonga, I don't knowww what I'd like. Surprise me. ...I'm gonna regret that, aren't I?)

Brave Jaguar weighs 28 kilograms? It's a MAGICAL ANTIGRAVITY CAT!

(look, Natsumi, someone liked your Fox sprite!)

For those it may concern, the boxed Byte Gryphon set has metallic blue bits and teal bits:
http://hanegaru.web.infoseek.co.jp/hp03nb_013.htm
http://www.geocities.jp/lifezoids/NBZ-09.htm (edit for very neat pics-oh, man, do I need one now.)

Amenbo has it for a good amount off, so I'm tempted to get one sometime and build my OWN pointy cat and bird thing out of the available bits. Nuts to the proper gryphon, I don't like it, but the bits as a whole? They have potential and are shiny.

...oh, and I tried drawing a proper cute Pteras and failed. So I drew this. Uh...it's poofy? (and I'll try again later, yes.)

I forgot to upload this, but here's the ball of fuzz and other crap I pulled out of the laptop a while back.

Also have my unofficial silver Zero, just because. I should give the edges another coat so he's a bit less patchy (he's worse than that shows if you look closely). Other than that, he's nice and shiny (and has properly painted teeth!)

And finally, have me trying to draw a moon (and failing) from earlier, at much smaller than original size. That's with a reference, too...d'oh. I need practice. I should add the other two moons, but I want icey lighting, because too many people do Gilvy firey.

My internet killed and then revived itself in a short space of time (just long enough for me to try using AOL and get mad at it). I am bothering to say something as I vanished off AIM when it kicked me and that's no fun.

...and since Gaim died anyway I think I will go poke Silver Zero. And eat. But not eat the Zero, because that would be pointy.

To give this post more point, have something that is cute, but not manly. Poor Wade. (critter Steve's, pic my fault)

Ack, I lost the draft I was typing when I closed Semagic to free RAM and get the screenshot below...I'll summarize it :p.

-Hellrunner photoed. Need to transfer pics, along with step by step photos of what happens when you completely disassemble a Hayate. (poor guy, he's still waiting on clearcoat and sitting there in bits all over the floor...)
-Won Firefly and Serenity on DVD on PBS auction. Now people can stop poking me to get it and poke me to watch it instead!
-Can't find town that needs saving from Salamander, walkthrough not helping. Angst. I want to save you, town! Shield Liger looks really cool greysilver with a blue cockpit, though.

When my dad dropped off the dragon pic, not only did one of the volunteer people recognize my name/style, one of the artistpeople they had in talking about something they'd donated saw it and liked it, which surprised me...

My art muse doesn't seem to take compliments well, and melted into a blob. (no, it is not grape flavor.) Opening Elements to make that reminded me of my plot to do this:

http://www.creativeinsanity.net/stuff/random/revengeoftheartprograms.png

...dangit, I can't find Painter Classic 2. I think it's that little edge of a box under PSP's layers and GIMP 1.25's view of the pic. I'll redo it later :p.

Also have the pic seen above, a green leopardcorgi and the question that haunts all openCanvas users.

"...leaving the best theory for his origins as born near the end of the war and squirreled away from possible doom.

Squirreled is a really funny word combined with Prozen. I'm not quite sure why."

(edit) And a mystery of the universe solved!
http://www.creativeinsanity.net/art/sketches/chibizoids.jpg

Be sure to take the pilots out first!

Brain: That Benadryl not worn off yet?
Art muse: WHEE!
Brain: Well, okay, you can be productive and work on a proper pic.
Art muse: WHEE!
Brain: You're not gonna say anything but whee, are you?
Art muse: WHEE! *falls over and dies*

This is half Zinou's new icon's fault. It made me want to draw evil things with BIG HAPPY SMILEY FACES. Except mine didn't resize as well.

http://www.creativeinsanity.net/art/progress/dancework.jpg

The best I can figure is someone wanted wallpaper of Mad Thunder OR deathy, and my brain wanted to draw Deathy, and one thing led to another...well, at least it doesn't have a bow.

I need to color poor Mad Thunder and Seijuurou but I don't trust myself right now.


(edit) Yay, I hope I'm somewhat close on Mad Thunder's colors:
http://www.creativeinsanity.net/art/opencanvas/rivaldance.jpg

...should I give it a pink sparkley background or some such?
