Do I scan the comic after each stage in case I just mess up a vital thing? Do I really have no faith in my abilities? :< (the answers are yes and, obviously, yes ) I can't be the only one, though, can I? D:
Woot. I also realized that the only colour I haven't got in huge marker form is ochre, which is a staple for colouring, 'specially hair and stuff. :< E: okay, this is ridiculous. Now my ears are stinging too. I really don't want to fall ill! D:
This semester is going to be fun... as I'll take that classon Relativity and Cosmology. I'm kinda curious to see what it will be like, even though I'm scared that it might be hard/complicated. Ah well.
... got Sims 1 to work again on my PC; apparently it had been a problem with video codecs or something... 'tis a nice nostalgic moment for me though, because I used to play that game a lot when I was younger. Even though I perceived it as incredibly hard to manage everything (and it is significantly more annoying than Sims 2 in that aspect, but hey, I did grow up a bit in the meantime xD) Now I just have to install the last expansion pack I have and *hope* that the workaround still works.
aka "I just finally found out what this thing actually does and feel stupid for not having done so earlier". :/ Find out what you work with. Give the functions their meanings, be actually interested. Look them up and keep notes on what you read. Don't just blindly attempt to solve the problem because you need it for that class.
Summer is not even over, but it's cold and rainy and grey. :/ I mean, if it's going to be like that all the time, sitting at home wearing an oversized, striped jumper and staring out at the rain miserably, it's really going to be an awesome autumn/fall. Okay, it's September, but that does not justify the cozy 15 degrees (Celsius, mind you. Should be around 59°F, I guess?) outside. At all.
Whoo. Now if only I could remember what I usually blog about... O.o (in other words, lost 2 weeks because I was on vacation -> limited internet and time. but now I'm back, yaaay. ._.)
This is way too small a thing to put into a topic in GA. So I put it here. There's not much to say about it, please don't mind my awful handwriting. ^^
'cause apparently I can change my display name again, but the best thing I've come up with so far is "Hipster Elf", and even I don't find it that funny... anyways, currently looking for a fantasy-themed name. I'm just not overly original.
I really enjoy it, particularly in a party-based RPG... recently I also finally dared to start skilling them in a way so that they rely purely on their magic (read: no investing in combat skills whatsoever); it's all fun and games until my elven spellweaver decides to charge head-first into the fight mid-battle with nothing but his bare hands because he can (or because astral energy/mana/what have you ran out ). D: and all that despite me having set him to "passive". :/
(clickable thumbnail, as always ^^) Just a small thing I scribbled a few days ago; I was mainly focusing on the colours rather than the character's proportions (that's also why his left shoulder seems dislocated/not properly attached to the rest of his body). As you can see I'm also awful when it comes to drawing trees, perspective and light falling through water. :> I'm quite satisfied with the overall mood of the thingie, though.
(clickable thumbnail) I started doing stuff with Blender again, yay. This time properly, with sketch underneath and everything - and I have to say that this way better. I get much furher in the same time, and don't have to constantly check proportions to make sure everything lines up properly. (clickable thumbnail, again) Yep. We'll see how far I can get, but I am actually quite optimistic. This is working a lot better than my previous try from last year, and I am delighted to see
Nothing good ever comes from listening to covers of Dio songs. (or Rainbow, for that matter.) While some of them are good on their own, they just never feel right to me. Others may see it differently, but hey, if a cover of Stargazer doesn't have me in tears at the end, then it's just not... right.
And fittingly for the beginning of July and the "proper" holidays we actually had some sunshine again, which I used to take some photographs around our garden; mostly just random flowers and blossoms and stuff. Like this (there's a bee too. Just thought I'd add this in case someone's got an insect phobia, you never know...)
...includes realizing that someone I'd considered a friend probably doesn't want to spend time with me outside of university at all. Only took me 2 years to fully figure that out, and the effect on my ego was a-maze-ing. I am not good with people, I take way too long to get used to them, thus probably missing the point where they make up their mind about whether I'm okay company or not. Or maybe I'm just annoying and exhausting to cope with. (I bet I am, due to my never-ending attempts of b
I got some new ballpoint pens today, all in different colours, 10 of them, and obviously they are suitable for drawing. Which makes me a lot happier than it should.
Never not relevant. Anyway, tomorrow's gonna be fun - exam in the morning, and presentation in the afternoon! C: but then I'm at least done with all this for 2 months... awww....
...is a battle if you're using LaTeX and have never done anything like it before. (I may point out that this code is probably poorly written and not exactly elegant, but it works so I am happy.~) The documentation of the beamer class is helpful though, as is the internet. Took only between 3 and 4 hours to understand how it works (read: grasp the basics of the basics behind it ^^), but at least now my presentation is held in friendly greens. :3 (maybe not the most prefessional colours, but hey
One of the last two obstacles, today's test, has been overcome. More or less. Now all that's missing is the exam on thursday, and my second presentation, on thursday too. I guess my current mood can be pretty much summed up with the following scribble from today: except with more sad and less calm. :3 (well no I did not shift my self-pity towards drawing, not at all. :/ I never said I'd completely beaten it, anyway...) E: fixed a ton of typos.
