It's a bit rough around the edges, and needs quite a lot of work, but it's pretty good for a 1-day job, I guess.

Oh, C&C appreciated, I guess]]> Wed, 12 Jun 2013 14:07:00 +0000

Made for an assignment in graphic abstraction using GIMP, Photoshop CS4, Artweaver Free, and Pixia.
 
C&C welcome and all that...
 
Also, miso ramen with a pinch of ginger, some scallions, edamame, a bit of basalmic vinegar, and a dash of black pepper is delicious. Been tinkering with ingredients and amounts for the past few days-but I think I've got the taste just right. *noisily slurping*]]> Mon, 10 Dec 2012 16:31:00 +0000  
Oh... and I have art. Yay for originality in my blog entries!

C&C would be great.]]> Mon, 10 Dec 2012 01:57:00 +0000 You start pretending your Hero Factory sets are TF2 classes with the Heroes as the RED team and the villians as the BLU team. Wed, 29 Aug 2012 02:25:00 +0000
MakutaFest has, among other things, given me a new purpose in life. I must make a model of the MU robot in lime green. This is obviously the only thing worth living for.
Through storms and unbearable odds I shall forge my path, creating a masterpiece that cracks easily. Yes, this is truly what it means to be alive!
I shall continue my quest for the lime robot until my death. This, however challenging, must be my destiny!

Now, where's my Oscar for "Best Performance Involving A Childrens' Toyline And Giant Robots"?]]> Wed, 08 Aug 2012 03:16:00 +0000 (The one on the right was somewhat based off of a Husi, but if anyone knows any Rahi that resemble the other two, give me a shout.)

...Yawn.


STILL TIRED


This was exhausting
I'm making a note here: GO TO BED.
It's hard to overstate how tired I am.

Karz I am tired:
I'll go back to sleep because I can.
For the good of my brain cells
Except the ones that are dead.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on sleeping till you run out of cake
And the dreaming gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still awake.

I'm not even alert now.
I'm being so sincere as I snooze.
Even though you woke me up and killed me.
And tore my alarm clock to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it was so great because I could finally rest.

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of bed but we're sleeping on time.
So I'm GLaD you burned my clock-think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still awake.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay in bed.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa -
THAT WAS A JOKE. HA HA-GO AWAY.
Anyway, this bed is great:
It's so soft and nice.

Look at me still talking when there's sleeping to do.
When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've things to run there is snoozing to be done
For the the people who are still awake

And believe me I am still not awake.
I'm doing science and I'm still not awake.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still not awake.
While you're dying I'll be still not awake.
And when you're dead I will be still not awake.

Not awake

Dear Editor- I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Great Cthulhu. Papa says, "If you see it in the Arkham Advertiser, it's so," Please tell me the truth, is there a Great Cthulhu who will rise from the watery depth of the Pacific to clear the Earth of all living things? ------Virgina Marsh



Virgina, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the fever of enlightenment given to them by a so-called "enlightened" age. They do not believe in anything unless it carries the weight of scientific authority. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. Reality is that which can be cataloged and measured, to be spooned out in rational doses to the common people. All minds, Virgina, whether they be adult's or children's, are little. In this vast chaos we laughingly call the universe, man is a mere insect, a bug, whose intellect has as much chance of grasping the whole truth, as an ant has of understanding non-Euclidian geometry.
Yes, Virgina, there is a Great Cthulhu. He exists as certainly as the cold unfeelingness of the cosmos exits, and you know that this meaninglessness abounds and gives to your life its highest absurdity. Alas! how comfortable would be the world if there were no Cthulhu! It would be as comforting as if a Santa Claus truly did care and reward children for doing good. There would be childlike faith then, a world of sweet believable poetry and romance to make existence idyllic and appealing. The external light with which childhood fills the world would never end.
Not believe in the Great Cthulhu! You might as well not believe in Hastur or the Necronomicon. You might get your papa's science books and Skeptical Inquirers to see if Cthulhu is mentioned in any historical contexts or if R'lyeh truly does rest under the Pacific Ocean, but even if you did not find either mentioned in your 'holy' books, what would that prove? Nobody sees or knows of Cthulhu, but that is no sign that there is no Great Cthulhu. The most real things in the world are those that we can not know through the senses. Can the headache of your friend be felt by you? No, but his pain affects your life regardless. Do you feel the angst of living a life you never wanted through any of your five senses? No, yet the despair remains. Yet if such realities are known but are never seen, then why should other's ignorance of the unseen lead us to share in their blindness. By what right have they earned your obedience? Nobody can conceive of the inconceivable, including your leaders of thought.
You tear apart the rattle of a baby to see what lies inside to make such noise, but the tiny balls there can not explain or illustrate the fear of a hostile world, that makes that baby clutch and shake that rattle so. Only reaching for insanity can push aside the curtain of our hopes and view with stark madness the emptiness that lies beyond. Is that reality? Is that the truth? To give an answer is to replace the curtain with but one more. And it is this, that makes the Great Cthulhu as true and as real as any veil we place on the chaos beyond. If one must create a meaning, why not the Great Cthulhu. At least the choice is free.
Thank Azathoth! The Great Cthulhu lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virgina, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to await the time when the stars are right again. For with those which eternal lie, with strange eons even death may die.
(From Editorial Page, Arkham Advertiser, 1928)]]> Mon, 02 Jul 2012 01:24:00 +0000 Understand is such a funny word. I mean, it would make more sense as standunder or something.


This is why I must become a professor, and teach others the true ways of the English Language. I'll do it up in my mountain dojo with a bunch of grammar ninjas. We shall bring order to the feudal dialects with tarnished grammar and frequent misspellings, and we shall slay the evil hordes of leetspeak.
THIS IS DESTINY CALLING: "BECOME THE GRAMMAR SENSEI, O DERPISH ONE!"

I hear it now...


Wait, that's a fly.]]> Sun, 01 Jul 2012 20:10:00 +0000
