Turakii Missed A Day...or More... >.<

LarryBoy: Hey kids! It's LarryBoy again. Turakii seems to keep forgetting about this blog, so I'm going to take over and do it for him until---

 

Oh, this thing exists? Move over, LarryBoy. My blog.

 

So, what is there to blog about?

 

I'm really glad Biomech won in the "other" category of the art contest. I was really hoping he would. The entry was both funny and well-made (although mowing the lawn isn't my favorite pastime). That was really close. He won by one vote!!! He told me he was sweating like mad in the last few minutes. :lol:

 

---*Abruptly changes subject to art*----

 

I made a LarryBoy avatar in Paint Shop Pro. Really easy. Just make a cucumber-ish shape with the paintbrush, add some details, color it in, and voila! I have a smaller version, too, that I'm going to use as my own personal emoticon. And I made one with Bob and Larry as superheroes, but I'm not going to bring that one out until after July twenty-ninth, which is both my sister's birthday and the day LarryBoy and the Bad Apple comes out. (Those of you who don't like/watch Veggietales are invited to skim over the rest of this Veggie-filled entry, if you so desire.)

 

The banner was done by hand and edited in Paint Shop Pro. It took about twenty minutes to sketch, five minutes to go over with a fine marker, and half an hour to color and shade. Hooray for colored pencils, not hooray for broken pencil sharpeners. :wacko:

 

I use Prang pencils, which are okay most of the time. Except when a color seems to be orange and turns out to be pink. Or when the pencils just refuse to sharpen. Or how light they draw, even if you press really hard. Once I use them all up, I might buy some Crayola pencils. I think they've got some nice, vibrant colors. Does anyone know if they really are? And, if not, if there is a really good type, that blends well and isn't too light?

 

Back on the subject of the banner. The little LarryBoy who peeks out from behind my banner every few minutes is done on the computer, too. Very simple. (My mom thinks he's adorable.) I just drew him all the way out and slid him back a pixel for each frame. Right after I got the animation up, my dad pointed out I forgot LarryBoy's plunger ear. :annoyed2: So I had to add it into every single frame. Oh, well, at least he looks like himself now.

 

I'm really grateful to Onuki for assuring me that you can have two images in your signature at once, so long as they don't exceed the 100x250 limit (or the other limit) or 100 KB. :happy: Thanks, Onuki!

 

I saw a member who recently changed his name from kongu10 to ~Larry Da' Cucumber~. Cool username, no? And he's got LarryBoy eating some yummy chocolate in his avatar.

 

LarryBoy: Remember, kids, with chocolate comes great responsibilty! *Takes big bite of chocolate bar.* Goo theeg I'b bewy weesponsible, huh?

 

Um...right. :blink:

 

Well, I'm off to watch Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler for the hundredth time. So long for now! (What, are F.I.S.H. and C.H.I.P.S. on the screen already!? And I missed the part with the anvil!?)

 

LarryBoy: *Swallows.* Bye!

'Bout Biomech: I know! He and I were PMing each other the whole two hours before the contest ended, and he was freaking out, and I was just hoping to stay in second.

Oh, it was so much fun. I can't wait for next AC. :lol:

 

I like Sheerluck. I just haven't been able to buy the DVD yet. ;_;

 

Sure, it's cool, but that would be a REALLY long username, Turakii. :P(Screen strecthing... :ohmy: )

It'd be the longest one I've seen since "Antipenultimate Antimahikugzis."

 

(Yeah, I can't really remember the second half. :P)

 

You're welcome about the sig thing! ^_^

 

And Biomech won? Wow, great things happen when you don't pay attention. :P And I voted for him too... now I feel special. :D

Prismacolor is a pretty good brand of colored pencil. They blend well and have very vibrant colors, even though they're a tad bit expensive.

Yes I am glad Mr. Bio one, I loved his entry.

 

I saw your Larry comming from behind the banner. XD I loves it. *Tries to find him again*

 

Oh and Turakii, the way you have your blog set, its cutting off some of the comments. I think if you want to fix that, you need to make the entrys a little wider.

What do you guys think the next theme might be?

 

There were so many good ideas in that one topic.

 

I like Sheerluck. I just haven't been able to buy the DVD yet. ;_;

It's worth it. Well, the second episode on the video is, anyways. Sheerluck has to be one of the best episodes ever ("now that just hurt like the dickens!"), but the Asparagus of LaMancha just isn't as good. To me, anyways.

Yeah. That's why I haven't changed it.

 

Oh well. Maybe if I'm lucky, an Admin will notice my obsession with Veggietales and prank me. :)

Wow. That's sure...interesting. :blink:

Yay Biomech! :happydance: And yay everyone who voted for him!

I think I saw them at a craft store once. Costed somewhere around...eighty or so dollars? *Winces.* Ouch.

 

But, by the time I've got that much saved up, I'll probably have used up my old pencils!

Who didn't? :P

He's supposed to come out every two minutes. I'm not sure if he works right, though.

 

Oh and Turakii, the way you have your blog set, its cutting off some of the comments. I think if you want to fix that, you need to make the entrys a little wider.

In Opera, the comments get cut off and look squished, but when I switched to Firefox and Internet Explorer, it looked fine. You might want to try making your screen size smaller.

 

Thing is, I don't know how to make the entries wider. And the silly blog won't let me move all the boxes over to one side. It says they won't fit. :(

 

(Oh, and besides a skateboard and a lightsaber, a complete Kopaka Olda and a can of Mountain Dew are some of life's necessities.)

Go to the Your Blog Settings menu under the word "Forums". In the "Look" sub-menu, change the "Content Block width?" to a smaller number. Where it defaults to 250, I set mine to 220.

 

The only problem is, this will further crop the images on the left-hand side.

Oh. So it is possible! Thanks so much, KIE! :happy:

 

Thing is, Lady K, I don't know if I want to squish my images even more. I'm going to have to think about it.

 

Or maybe I'll just resize the images. :lol:
