RPG maker : O (the short version)
In case you don't feel like reading all that text in the world over there The short version is basically, I've been working on game making stuffs, n' haven't had much time to draw. 'course, I've still managed to upload a comic and a drawing the other day, so that's not really saying much.

So how's everyone these days?

New comic
Age old joke with a few new styles to it. I'm happy how some of the screen toning came out, but not too fond of some of that line art zpz'

Anyways been kinda feeling sick to my tummy lately. Probably nothing, but I've been mostly staying offline and well...even off the computer (GASP O_O) lately. Been reading the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy and it's 4 other books. I have to stop reading them after a few hours 'cause they hurt my brain zpz

Also been watching more TV O_o' I've been watching so much Discovery Channel and Science Channel and all those other educational channels that I can probably name off every known Egyptian king, queen, and probably read hieroglyphics if I watch any more specials on some recently uncovered king's tomb

Soooo
So Sage_of_magic reminded me of alittle something about Gaia, and how my dad can be.

My dad is about the most mind-numbingly thick headed person I've ever known. You know those people online that like to challange you, and say whatever they want and not have to worry about it 'cause they're online and not face to face? That's him. Only he'll demand that you are wrong even in a face to face conversation, and WILL say whatever he wants too, just like they do.

He was looking for an online game, after trying various ones. (FlyFF, Puzzle Pirates, that kinda thing) and asked me about this "one game" he found called gaia online.

I immediately told him that it wasn't anything he'd be interested in, and that it wasn't the kind of game he'd injoy. "Well how do YOU know?!" he said, looking at me like I was ignorant "How do YOU know that I won't like it? Maybe I will!"
(I think this stems from the fact that when you tell a child "no you can't do that" they will try and do it just to show that they can only to fail miserably) I said "well because I have an account there, and the site isn't any good." I explained to him how it was cross between a web-based site, but with a few mediocere mini-games, which can only advert your attention from how mind numbingly dull the whole thing is. Most of the flash based stuff is a giant interactive chatroom, and even that it's not all that good at. Chatrooms in 93, less primitive and more interactivity had more appeal than Gaia's run-about areas where the housing was.

"Well how do YOU know?!" he repeats. I just looked at him "Because I've been there!" "yeah well, I wanna see it." As usual, he didn't hear a word I said, so I just threw up my hands and said "fine whatever. Try the guest mode...." "it's not working. Sign into your account instead" Which I denied. In 15 minutes he looks around at what he could, and concluded that it was a web based game, and that was something he didn't want.

It takes me two hours to explain how to play WC3, or Perfect World, and I have to repeat myself 5 minutes later when he dies and then asks why.

And this is the man that supposively went online back in the day before they had internet, connecting to each other's computers, and playing all the games, the texted adventures, and all the interactive D&D-esk chat games of the day. I look back on this, and I think: It's a wonder he was even able to beat Donkey Kong Country.

Productivity: down this week
Here's what happened:
Rar! I'm sick of not drawing anything >O>! *starts drawing stuff and posting them up"
but then something else happened...
"OMG SPOOOOOORE CAME OUT XoX!" *drawing productivity bottomed out.*

On the plus side though, I'm taking control of whole planets by establishing trading to other civilizations to the point of bankruptcy, then buying their whole solar system. muhahahaha

oh and I managed to start three intergalactic wars at once. I'm still not sure how I pulled that one off....

Curse you allergies!
Yep. Allergies. Both me and Cloud got hit by it hard the past couple of days. I think me more so then her though. I'm starting to get over it though, which is a plus. People ask me what it is exactly that triggers them, and quite frankly-- I have no idea.

It could be the pollen produced from the several pear trees out in the front, or only the billion other plants that produce some kind of pollen outside.
It maybe the dust from the various dirt roads that we have around town, or maybe the dander from the animals, since there's several houses that keep a sheep or goat at this time of the year for the county fair. Take your pick as to what it could be.
All I know is that it'll strike at any time: Doesn't matter on the season, and when it hits, I usually get sick, foggy headed, and don't want to do anything because I can't focus.

*cough*
so yeah... been scarce lately. We finally got around to trying to put in a newer/better video card into my computer, and added another GB of ram, but the video card didn't like to play nicely with my computer, so I'm back with the current video card I've been using for awhile. The extra gig though is nice owo

Anyways with this, the inevitable has happened. I promised sometime ago to mom that I'd be making her some recolors and stuff for her sims 2 game, so now Sims 2 is installed on the computer, and I've been a busy lil' worker recoloring some new clothes. (base only for right now folks zpz' not gonna bother with expansion stuff yet)

Haven't drawn in awhile though, I just haven't felt like it. I DO have a few drawings that could probably stand to get finished coloring, but I just don't feel like doing it right now.

Arg mouse
so my computer mouse is dieing. The left mouse button has pretty much seen it's last days, so I've resorted to the tablet's mouse. Today, the tablet mouse, nay... the tablet itself decided not to work x_x' the pen wasn't even responding. great.. so IT'S starting to show signs of not working either. FORTUNATELY after talking with code about it, it seems it's just a driver issue, so I reinstalled the drivers and it's working now.

Still I've got my old mouse set it right click instead of left click and using that, 'cause quite frankly: using the tablet mouse all the time is annoying. may end up getting a new tablet one day.

So what have I been doing?
so... yeah *cough* been scarce.
this is why.

I recently got the full version of spore's creature creator. (BIG props to code on that one) and have been having a total blast with it.

For those that don't know, the creature creator has an incredibly simple, easy, and well just plain fun program in making beasties from different parts they give you. (and might I add, they give you a LOT to play with)
The game spore itself is about you the player controlling a single cell organism evolving it in any way shape or form you'd like. everything from it's first step on land, to the race's civilization building, you'll be controlling it all, and even at that point, you can fly throughout space befriending or conquering other races, or just terraforming new planets.

They've given people the creature creator earily for a few reasons: one, to tide people over, two: the game relies on player's contents to populate the game's universe. as you explore, and check out things, your game will be downloading content for you to play with, and well it just seems like it'd make sense for people to start making creatures now, so the universe is at least got some population to start off with.

Why am I explaining this? 'cause I'm gonna show off my creatures of course =3!

Fashiale (based loosely off the critters I've drawn)
Rockeatter
spineball
Shenlong

While the full version DOES cost $10 to get, you can still download the free trial version

Edit: Tim from One of Those Days has finally made it to #100!! And at such a climatic ending too!
check it out

problems o_o?
So yeah I'm apparently having problems with tutorial depot now 7_7' It's not letting the newer pages of mine show completely up. in fact, I can go back to edit it, and everything's there for the post, but when you go to the direct link OF the post, nothing shows up?

Anyways I'm really tired, and I have no idea why. Haven't been sleeping well (and by that I mean I get to bed late xpx) and I really don't want to do that.
So the school that me, my mom, and even my grandmother attended and graduated from is in some MASSIVE trouble. Seems like due to some problems and ignorance, there's only two or three teachers that may still be there come time for school later this fall. Everyone else has already left including the councilor, the tech guy that works there, and nearly ALL of the high school teachers. As far as we know, the elementary side is fine. Now to point out, this school I'm referring to is VERY small, holding about 300 students. So small it has basically one large campus. (ie high school is one side of the building, elementary is on the other side, and then the middle school side is in a building across the playground)

Due to state laws however, because of this size, it's forced to merge with other schools in other towns, thereby setting off a chain reaction of events I like to call "screw overs". This "merge" was supposed to somehow give kids more teachers to work with by using the same teachers from the merged schools to teach the same number of kids from those same schools. In actuality, it just ment that those schools would have to divide a set amount of money between each other.(basically? saves money. figures) Since then, the school here has no band, no music, no home ec. barely an art class, or well... any other extra activities. (to be fair-- my senior year had only one person in it's band class-- me --and there hasn't been a home ec teacher in years)
I think though the last straw came when the councilor here (former math teacher) was called in to "fill in temporarily" for math class when the math teacher all of the sudden quit and she didn't even get paid for her forced second job.

The school council isn't helping at all, and the fact that the state has been breathing down the backs of the school due to past histories of Math and English grades from various exams isn't helping the situation improve. In fact, from my understanding, it's the very reason why everything is falling apart. what's worse is that so far, there's not even any plans in trying to hire any new teachers, and the current plan is that the school will only have "half a day" teachers come in, while the other half of the day gets taught online.

woo-- well needless to say, cloud's upset.
New One of Those Days It's setting up to the dramatic conclusion!

blarrg so much updating!


I've been doing some major updates O_o! First off, I have Tutorial Depot which is the tutorial world that I hope can get big. So much so I even made a photobucket account for when images that don't embed right >_>' specifically for it, I updated my personal world place, updated this, THEN While making a few tutorials o_o! Granny (as usual) came in at the worst time to ask me n' cloud to start shoveling gravel for the new driveway (see image above) but I still kept on at the tutorials even after my arms went noodly.
Regardless! We got the driveway mostly shoveled, still need alittle more done but no biggie.

I can't wait for spore. Plain and simple.

side note: I officially do not like the color scheme of green. It's been difficult to coordinate the colors right.
