Yup. The punchline to that picture is going to be something along the lines of drinking responsibly and in moderation. It's not my fault that they dole out ale on the boat as if it were shampoo samples. >_> Still, I'd like to see somebody try and recreate this scene with screenshots. >:3
I'm going to put a background on it too, though right now I'm a little undecided as to whether I should use a screenshot for the background, or hand draw the background. I think it'd look nicer if I drew it though - people can always pick out where you cut corners. Maybe what I could do is use the screenshot and then paint over it. Rotoscope, as it is called (OMG I LERN A NU WURD 2DAY LOLZ IM OS SMRT!!!11).
If all goes well, it'll be used as my new wallpaper on my laptop. Mmm, widescreen. :3 Although I did move the people in that inwards a bit so that if others would like to use it as their background too, I can easily crop it to fit the standard 3:4 fullscreen. Although, it's is going to be quite some time before I get this one finished. I think this has been my single most ambitious art project ever since I started drawing, sooo... may as well put some effort into it and try to make it look good.
I think this year I'll try working on pictures that have multiple people in them that are somehow interacting with each other. It can be what I aim towards this year. :D Although, with the above picture, I kinda cheated since it's obvious that it's 3 discrete groups of 2 people. I mean, you could crop any of the groups and have a coherent picture. But still, it's something new. :D
It's kind of fun being able to run around with a female avatar in that game. It lets me get in touch with my feminine side and all that jazz. However, it has since dawned on me that my feminine side is heavily influence by my masculine side and, as a result, my feminine side is a lesbian whore. Hey, works for me. :3
But that got me thinking - how would I have turned out if I was actually born female? Would I have ended up strutting around like a harlot, or would I have turned out to be the exact opposite of who I am - ie. some no-brain chick forever trying to hump the likes of Brad Pitt or so? Hmm, maybe we'll never know which... is probably a good thing, really. Forget that I brought this up.
Oh, though I suppose I can say with a fair bit of confidence that if I were a slut, I probably wouldn't have all the nice friends that I have. Y'know, since I don't think strumpets really command much respectability an all.
My computer is giving me strife again. The chipset fan's RPM keeps fluctuating and when it drops low enough, it starts making this loud whirring noise that sounds like a sick moaning dog. It almost makes me want to find a shotgun and put it out of its misery. ._. You can see the graph of the RPM as they were last night over there on the right. The NB fan is the fan in question. I have had issues with it making loud whirring noises on start up before, but usually if you left it for long enough it'd settle down and eventually sit at a steady 6000 RPM. As you can see with that graph, it's anything but stable. And I don't even know what caused the sudden drop either. I'm suspecting it may be a power supply issue, but I can't be sure. When I opened up the computer earlier to do a quick visual inspection, I couldn't find anything wrong with it.
There seems to be no end with the amount of problems this computer can give me. First it keeps overheating. Then my old video card fries itself. And now this. =_= It vexes me greatly. Is it so much to ask to having a computer that doesn't bork itself once a month? Geez, you'd think it had PMS or something. >_> "I DUN LIEK U!!!1111 *dies*"
I hope I don't have to end up having to replace the motherboard. It is one expense I would rather do without right now. I have my car registration, insurance, and license renewal to pay for at the end of the month. This coupled with the fact that I am currently blissfully unemployed equals much pain and suffering. ;_; I should get off my lazy arse and start applying for a few places. Though the thing that urks me is that I don't like the idea of stepping off the production line of formal education and then throwing myself to the sharks of employers. But sadly, that is the way this society works I guess. -_- I don't know, I just hate the idea of having to be like everybody else. I want to be special... T___T Why can't I be paid to draw women in lingerie? Hey!? Why not!??!?!?!?!?111/1/11/ Although, if I did get a position doing that, women's lingerie might get dull eventually, and that wouldn't be a good thing. I dunno, how about getting paid to work on a cartoon of some sort? I wouldn't mind doing the drawingness or the voices. I like cartoons. They're so much better than horrible reality.
Still, I find where I am right now to be a veritable shangri-la. And being told that I have to step out of it is... well, you can imagine where my motivations lie. In all honesty, I'd prefer to stay here and sit on my butt. I like my butt, but nobody else likes my butt, which makes it cool to like. :3
Been listening to a bit of retro music again. It's kind of nice, stuff from the 80's, 70's and even as far back as the 60's. Ah, Vietnam era musics. What was old is trendy again. :D At least, I think so anyway. So that makes it cool. Because not that many other people like it. Just like my butt.
I dunno, I think the whole reason things are cool when they're liked by only a small minority is that they don't have the connotations attached to them. You take the colour pink for example. Pink itself is just another colour in the wide spectrum of colours. Unfortunately, pink is considered very pretty by all those little girls in their pony clubs. Therefore pink has the association of being very girly.
And while you're thinking about that, think about this: are zebras white with black stripes or black with white stripes?
...And in the mean time, I'll probably go see about that employment issue. >_>
