Making the arts
1 min read
It's what I've been doing, 'mate'.
I've recently decided I'm going to devote time and effort into learning to draw things that don't make me want to evacuate my own bowels out of terror and frustration.
I've been practicing by drawing (mostly) directly from references (specifically the concept art of Timesplitters 2). It's been working well so far. I've drawn five characters, two which have been uploaded to deviantART. The other three (Viola (<3), Chastity Detroit and Harry Tipper) may or may not get a touch up to my current slightly improved standards and a digital makeover.
But hey, it's been working out for me so far. Soon enough I hope to be able to draw indirectly from references and maybe, one day, from imagination.

14 min read
I haven't done an anything for a while so here's an anything.
1) Sexuality?
1) Sexuality?
Editted because of #48. A little bit of a prude, I'd say.
2) If you could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be?
Yahtzee Croshaw.
3) Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 23, give me line 17.

"Blankety blanks"
6) Do you sleep with or without clothes on?
One or the other. Depends on the temperature.
7) What's your strangest talent?
My arms dislocate themselves with remarkable ease, but I wouldn't exactly call it a talent. Probably being able to recite the intro to 'L4D2 Jazz (Coach the Musical)' in time and in its entirety. HELLDAMNGODDAMNBULLSHITTITSBITCHMYASSFOULASSASSHATBITCHSHITASSHOLEHELLDAMNGODDAMNBULLSHITTITSBITCHMYASSFOULASSASSCLOWN!

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.

Not really, but I'd like to. I mean, if people got what they deserved based upon the morality of their actions it would be quite nice. But then there's loads of morally questionable acts and grey areas, how does karma deal with them? Does it see stuff as black and white or is there like, a karmic tribunal of the cosmos?
