I promise this is going somewhere!

So here's today's update to Unfettered Discord.  All of these "continues" are leading to something, they really are!  Anyway, I just wanted to make the quick update announcement and keep it short and simple again this week.  Much to do!

Quick Update

Been quite busy and got a bit of a cold, so I'm pretty tired and don't feel up to a whole lot of updating, and so, I give you this update to Unfettered Discord.  I'm linking to the scene from the last update because the next few fit with it.  Anyway, that's it, enjoy!

Slightly Orange Pictures

Sadly, I have no traditional updates this week.  I've been spending my extra time to get reorganized and stuff.

So instead, I have some pictures here that I found interesting.  Take a look at this juice!  I feel like I have nearly been infringed upon!  I discovered this a while back, and I had no idea that such a juice brand existed.  Though, seeing as "Simply Orange" is a registered trademark, I can be thankful that they didn't go for "Slightly" or I would have been done in for.  ...though I guess it's somewhat less appealing to drink a juice that brands itself containing only a moderate amount of orange, so I should be in the clear.
 





 PICTURE NUMBER TWO!!!!!


James sent me this picture recently, pointing out that due to some defect in this grapefruit, it looks like it is a grapefruit-orange hybrid!  Hooray for a slightly orange grapefruit!  I feel like this should be my new logo.  But then I think better of it and realize that would be a bunch of extra work I don't care to do.

Neat though, isn't it?

I am SO gonna make you blah blah blah

I've always loved the "Tales of ..." series of videogames.  And I've been meaning to record this for a long time, but I discovered that in one of the games, they made it possible to ridiculously overpower one of the characters.  And I mean, so much so, that it makes a joke out of the biggest battle of the game (a 1 on 200 non-stop melee, when normally you fight 4 on 4 or so).

That, and, by doing so, you get one of the most hilarious combinations of phrases that your character says.  If you watch this, keep your eye on the time counter and the kill counter in the top right.  Notice that they give you 35 minutes to complete the 200-man melee, and I finish in a minute and a half.  And no, it takes zero skill.

 

As for an update this week (and I don't mean this YouTube upload), I have updated Unfettered Discord, and in fact, during this week, I may update it a few more times, because this current command is going to spark a few "continues".

THE END! (of post)

Happy New Year

This New Years I gathered with some friends and had an amazing and awesome New Years Eve party.  More importantly though, is that I made and improved upon the "bacon cheeseburger log", which we lovingly dubbed "the yuletide log" for our New Years Eve party.  Oh man... it was so good.

As for this week's update, I made one small change to the previous Unfettered Discord scene, and I also added a new scene.  The scene edit was that I added a little tone to the background because it was hard to see the moonbeam phoenix's glowing light yellow colour on top of a white background.  I also removed the flames from the trees, because, well, I kinda forgot that the moonbeam fire had all evolved into the phoenix, so there really shouldn't be any fire elsewhere anymore.
Oops!  Storyline inconsistency!
Not that something like that would really betray the madness that is Unfettered Discord.  Ah well.  Happy new year.

Sassy Fish

In celebration of my fancy new tablet and my fancy new paint program, I have made a fancy painting!

When I said I was going to do this, Jen said I must draw/paint a sassy fish with a top hat.  I spent a lot of time testing out various tools and brushes and preliminary sketches and my previous fish looked like garbage, but I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out.  I decided to stick with wet oils.  Much to explore with this program, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

By the way, for anyone interested, I painted this in Corel Painter 12.



Anyhow, this is your update for the week.  Enjoy!

New Drawing Tablet!

Remember tablets before tablets?  That's right, prior to the iPad, a tablet meant pretty much the Wacom product line, which were these USB connected slates and you had a special pen you would use to draw with, and it would translate this info to your computer.  Well they still make them, and they're still super awesome, 'cause it's hard to do precise art drawing with your finger.  Not everything is about finger painting.  Well, I got a brand new Wacom Intuos4 drawing tablet for Christmas and some really great painting software that I'm quite eager to try out.  Problem is, the CD for some reason isn't working, so I'm downloading all the drivers which is evidently taking way way WAY too long.

Short of it is, I don't think I'll be able to produce something tonight to have an update by Tuesday like I usually do.  However, I will do something ON Tuesday, so if you're patient, come back later today and you'll see another blog post with hopefully some new art (Jen has asked me to make a sassy fish with a top hat).

So tune in later!  Sorry for the wait, but it's good to learn patience.  So consider this my Christmas gift to you.
