Not that y'all need more of my silly scribblings, but I promised westrider that I'd share this yonks ago.

We have a household D&D campaign, run by my tenant renter serf friend madalchemist, and at one point he asked us for character backgrounds/histories. I wanted a change of pace, so I decided to write mine entirely as correspondence, none of which is to or from the ( Read more... )

Time to say a few things as clearly and publicly as possible.

I'm emotionally invested in the Mass Effect video games, almost entirely for one reason: the is the first time I've seen a strong, engaging character with a physical disability in this media ( Read more... )

I know Skyrim must be out, because madalchemist wandered blearily out of his room ten minutes ago looking like death warmed over, said "I'm an amphibilizard too!", and stumbled into the shower.

So at least my gamer housemates haven't neglected cleanliness. :P

I've been playing Oblivion, and this is what goes on in my head as I run my sex-changin' albino amphibi-lizard, Zkalune, around the countryside (No knowledge of the Elder Scrolls needed.).

There's a post in masseffect about Bethesda versus Bioware. There are some interesting things to discuss there, even if it's silly on its face. I dislike choosing a favorite one of anything, on the principle that variety is the spice of life and sometimes one is just Not In That Mood. The two game companies do different things well, and that's great. They ( Read more... )

Okay! After having a wide-variety of things pointed out to me, and spending an hour last night with my tired-but-mostly-biddable sweetheart, I've some different options for how to have the guy sit.

( Investigate, vote, critique, shake head in pity )

I'm close to done with the sketch I've posted process pictures of, and I want to be damn sure of the anatomy before I start playing with digital coloring/shading processes*. Any and all feedback is welcome ( Read more... )

My sleep schedule is totally and completely borked. On saturday I slept for over ten hours and still had big coon circles under my eyes, then I spent all day doing active work in the yarden, which in any sane universe would mean I slept like the dead. BUT NO! The dead were restless! So I stayed up past midnight making a character in Oblivion ( Read more... )

Last night I hit a real low -- my shop-vac wasn't working despite being taken apart and put back together, my PC wasn't working, the PC not working resulted in a game not working, cleaning and organizing definitely wasn't working, and there was evidence that my brain wasn't working, either, in that I finally realized that I double-booked myself in ( Read more... )

I am stubborn as a mule and have never had trouble voicing my opinion. It can be hard for me to empathise with people who really have trouble standing up for themselves; there are a lot of times when my reaction is pretty much 'grow up and deal with it.' There are issues where, if I encounter them in real life, I have no problem either proving ( Read more... )
