It's 3 PM, I'm almost done with my day at work, I'm all chill and looking forward to GotG in 5 hours. Then I get the text. Key words? "giving" "away" and "computers". I never worked harder in my entire life and I flew outta that place a half hour early. Apparently, the Computer Art labs are getting upgraded (I didn't even know tech could get better than the stuff we had) and they were giving away stuff on a first come first serve basis to Computer Art majors. I got there around 5, figured ou
"The [my school] Theatre and the Visual Effects Society present this free 3D screening of Guardians of the Galaxy for [my school] students, faculty and staff and their guests (up to four guests per [my school] community member). Doors open at 7:30pm. " Got to see Dawn of the Planet of the Apes this way too, I can't wait c: GotG was crazy the first time and I really wanna see it again. I may not get a job ever because I'm an art major and be totally homeless, but at least I get to see Marvel
I'm not gonna answer any questions, I ain't no sucker; tell me all your secrets instead. Spill the beans. I know you're guilty. just under 750 kb mwahahaha
I'm way too tired to talk about it, so I'Il prolly post another entry about the actual trip later. I'm glad to be home though! And I'm gonna be catching up on what I missed this month (on BZP I mean). If there's anything important going on in the Bionicle world I'd love to get an update or something ^^
So, I haven't had wifi access at work for like a month now, so that's put a big dent into my activity, considering it's not only cutting me off from BZP but other websites, so I have to catch up on those first and make content for those so I end up not having very much time for BZP, and then I'm so worn out and beaten down that I don't really have the motivation to sit down and contribute here. Blah. I'm gonna be gone for a solid month, visiting my girlfriend on the opposite coast, so that's g
So several months ago I was watching me some animangos and while watching Puella Magi Madoka Magica I noticed that the magical girl uniforms had collars that reminded me of the Star Trek: The Next Generation uniforms and one thing led to another and I sketched out the male Enterprise crew as the PMMM cast I was really excited about it because it was the funniest image to ever pop into my head and I really wanted to amuse my friends and the dorks on the internet. (Not pictured: Kyubey
Wait hold on whatever happened with that System Based Creations contest from Chima month I have completely forgotten about it and I haven't seen anything about it since it ended
I almost cried like five times. I only actually cried like two or three times. The movie was sooo gooood . And ugh the feeeels. I don't know which part makes my heart do the things more. Such a good movie aahhhh I can't talk about it because Spoilrz but yeah omg Also there were so many wubs it was like Spidey was fighting the embodiment of Dubstep
Oh my god I am done with my first year. That was. Well. That was an experience. Don't do art, kids. In the span of a week I completed 5 essays, 3 paintings, 2 videos, a presentation, an animation, a written exam, took several dozen photos, drew a very, very large nude model for several hours, got like no sleep at all, and only cried like once or twice, tops. It's over. I survived. Thank the lord. I'm pretty confident that I did really well on my finals. The semester is now over and I can ree
It's Finals Week, and I have soooo much work to do and studying to dive into, so I'm unplugging and getting right to it. I'll probably be back on Friday the 2nd, so, uh, hold on until then? Stay strong? Nobody is really gonna miss me, I'm only going for like a handful of days anyways See ya then, folks! Wish me luck.
It happened again. I was gonna pull an all-nighter recording and editing a commercial for my Digital Video class, and technically I succeeded, I passed out around 6-7 AM waiting for my mom to leave for work so that I wouldn't disturb anyone. I woke up at 12:59 noon, an hour late for class. After crying for a half hour since this is the third time I've accidentally slept right through this class and three absences is an automatic failure, I was finally able to put the numbers together and reali
This morning, or rather, afternoon, I woke up two hours after my five hour class ended Basically overslept by like 9 hours. This isn't the first time I accidentally slept right through a class, but it's definitely the longest I overslept by. I remember setting my alarm so obviously at some point I woke up and turned off all handful of my alarms one by one, completely delirious. I'm so mad, that's so many hours I could've been working. I didn't even go to bed that late, it was like, the ear
So I painted this portrait of my dad which was fun, but his eyes were too close together and the bridge of his nose too narrow (I really need to get back into the habit of stepping back and looking at the sketch from a distance, 'cause obviously it looks perfect close up) so it looks more like a caricature Also I was cleaning up and realized I had forgotten about two small bins of LEGO that are literally right under my arm next to me on the shelf, which is ridiculous cause I dragged my lar
A season and a half. That's how much Breaking Bad I've watched tonight while editing my videos for homework. I vow to never ever ever do stopmotion again This twenty second video was a half hour of photography and like 7-8 hours of straight editing. To be fair, this isn't the longest I've worked on a DV assignment this semester so I guess I'm just annoyed at how tedious and dull this particular thing was. Adjusting and aligning 300 photos by hand is not fun. I haven't been able to catch up
So I've been missing my blue bohrok feet for yeeaaarrs and my Gahlok has been sitting on my shelf all this time with replacement black feet, and I'm so freaking excited 'cause I'd given up hope a while ago. Now it looks beautiful again I'm gonna have to thank the SBC Contest for that, since I was digging through every single bin and bag and LEGO in the house for the last two or three days while building. It's like, this really weird idea that I had as soon as the contest was announced and I'm
So, I've never actually been prescribed glasses, and I've always had 20/20 vision, but I guess my vision started going a bit fuzzy in the last couple years, and I have found that I look really good in eyeglasses and always wanted to get some false lenses to wear as an accessory. Anywho, my friend brought me his old pair of glasses 'cause he still has 'em for whatever reason and I put 'em on and woooow wow wow wow wow I never realized how poor my vision actually was until I put them on. It's like
So far this semester, a combination of snow days, gas leaks, taxi accidents, and miscellaneous teacher excuses have led to all of my classes having been cancelled at least twice, some more. Today's animation class was cancelled for whatever reason, putting us a solid month behind in that class. Not only did we lose 4-5 weeks of the most crucial class to our future careers, but we were supposed to have the best computer animation teacher in the school (this guy won multiple Emmy's!) until he got
I seem to make this post at least once a year I plan to stick around this time, though. I always say that too but I really mean it! I hope I'm running a tumblr blog now so I'm just really torn between that one and this one. What do I post where?? I'll probably use this one more for day to day things, since I avoid getting too personal on there and focus on making gifs out of scifi shows and posting my artwork. Anyways, through tumblr I discovered a Bionicle community off of BZP (WHAT A DISC
However tempting it may be to make a Bionicle crossover with the upcoming Star Trek movie, this is actually about how I have been hit with nostalgia like a speeding bus and suddenly have the urge to rebuild old sets! Why the title? Because I shall have to dive into my parts bin, which besides occasionally being used by my little brother to find weapons for his Hero Factory creations, has long gone without seeing the light of day! I'm confident that with persistence and the few days I have off,
Wow! It's been so long! Aside from a very short visit last July, I haven't been here in, well-- I don't know! Perhaps a year? Perhaps more; two even? However long it's been, it has been far too long! I'm back everyone! I'd be very flattered if any o y'all might remember me--I've gone by a few names over the years: dark hunter 554, The (Low-Carb) Dark Hunter, etc.-- because I sure as heck remember many of you! Coming back after all that time, and just browsing through the new topics and active
I'm leaving for Spring Break, so I won't be on BZPower for a week and a half... I wouldn't mind seeing as it's not so long, but I still haven't solved the mystery of The Extra Proto Energy. I have 2 proto... but from where? This will haunt me forever! I'll wake up in the middle of the night, screaming, "Where did it come from?!"
I'm on a diet! Less useless calories and more delicious veggies! And by that awkward metaphor I mean less quantity and more quality! Which refers to posts! That I'm making! ...yeah. I just felt a need to come up with an explanation for me new display name. After I renamed myself "The Dark Hunter" I realized I was being too general and nobody could really talk about me without everyone being confused. So, I had to come up with some way to separate myself from the masses. Thus, Low-Carb. It's ve
