2 min read
Wow, its been quite awhile since I lasted uploaded here hasn't it?
(dodges the barrage of rocks thrown by angered viewers)
Okay! Okay! Yes I get it! I was gone for a really really long time! I'm sorry! But there was crap ton going on in the mean time and seeing as I don't have the time (or writing space) to explain it all I'll just name a few.
- Finished my Internship
- Graduated from College
- Buried our family dog (Sunflower Marie Wood 1995-2011: Forever our little puppy...may she rest in peace)
- Tons of job searching
- Worked more on my story and still trying to find an editor
- Even more job searching!
- Found a job!
- Finished all of Fallout 3 + all 5 DLC's!
Okay, okay, I know the last one isn't too serious but that's where my next set of game pictures are coming from! I have over 500 + pictures from my adventures of playing through Fallout 3 to share with everyone and I hope people will enjoy them as much as people have enjoyed my Team Fortress 2 pictures from back when! I will be trying to upload 10 pictures a week for people to browse through so I can slowly clear them from my folder and free up some space on my hard drive! If you've played through Fallout 3 before...you might not enjoy them as much as others but I still hope some people out there will find interest in them! Meanwhile I'll be playing through Fallout: New Vegas and taking pictures of that to upload here some day! Thanks to all who stuck with me regardless of the really really really long break I took from uploads! So enjoy the pics as they come out and I look forward to comments and faves (if any) as the pics are released!
Cheers!

Picture this...
4 min read
Okay so for those few who do watch me on this site (thank you kindly by the way!), it may have become clear to you by now that I honestly can not actually draw to save my life (big surprise right?).
Anyway, a idea popped into my head recently that I thought was pretty clever. I have a lot of great ideas for drawings that I could only wish to put to paper but alas I am more of a writer than artist. So why not share my ideas with other Deviants by using my writing talents?
I, or another writer, would create a written detail for an image (sorta like a request/commission) but then I would allow anyone who views it to take their drawing talents and see if they can follow the details I've described. In turn everyone would be able see the different forms of the same picture from all sorts of different artists! Its almost like a contest of sorts and helps bring artists and writers together! It can also be swapped where an artist can draw a picture and request authors to write a short story about the image displayed. It greatly develops creativity on both sides and creates friendships as well! Here's one I've had on my mind for some time, attempted to draw it myself, kept redoing the first panel until my eraser ripped through the paper and I gave up, but maybe someone out there would be interested in giving it a go with their skill in drawing (by the way this is reference to Left 4 Dead 2 by Valve so if you don't get it cause you've never heard of or played the game...my deepest sympathies go out to you for your loss...oh and it might be a bit confusing for you to fully understand):
Panel #1:
Nick is shown picking up a baseball bat and smirking with a roguish grin saying: "This brings back good memories!". Meanwhile Coach is looking on with a confused look.
Panel #2:
Nick gives the bat a few practice swings while Coach, intrigued, asks: "You played ball Nick?"
Panel #3:
Nick returns the question with a sideways glance at Coach, meanwhile a Hunter is leaping at Nick in hopes of an easy kill. "Nope..." Responds Nick nonchalantly.
Panel #4:
*KEEERRRACK!!!*
Panel #5:
A dead hunter is sprawled on the ground and Nick walks off with a slightly bloodied/busted bat over his shoulder with a satisfied smile on his face: "...bouncer at a club." Coach looks on slightly disturbed by the brief and dark look into Nick's past.
And that is my idea I share with my more artistic friends to give a shot at drawing said description in their own specific art style. This said event actually happened to me on Dark Carnival about a month ago and I quite honestly had to pause the game and sit there laughing until my sides hurt. It had played out so perfectly that I will remember it as my most memorable kill ever! In return if an artist wishes to send me a image and have me try to write a short story from it I welcome the challenge. Most of my ideas are about my favorite games and shows so expect to see a lot of TF2 and L4D2 and other similar ideas coming from me...other writers might have different ideas to share if this happens to catch on so feel free to pass on the word and try it out for yourself either way! I look forward to some excellent ideas to come forth from people and I in no way take credit for this besides the original idea. My only suggestion? Consider naming the art/write trade "Picture This..." as I have done so with my journal written here! Thanks for reading and continuing to watch my work...regardless of how slow I am at updating! ^_^'

Final Uploads...for now! ,-)
3 min read
Well, I haven't uploaded much in awhile...reason being is mostly due to getting finished with college and all that jazz, But I figure I should try to do something...so I'm going to upload the last of my collection of Team Fortress 2 screenshots from my game folder. Got some pretty funny ones, cool ones and some...painful looking ones to upload...I've already put up a few for viewing but still have much more to go! I think in total I'll have about 70 TF2 screenshots posted by the end.
Now the reason I say "Final Uploads" is because since my last journal, I've since quit Team Fortress 2 (shocking I know) but hey, after 944 hours of playing the damn game in a period of only 2 years? Yeah something tells me it was for the best. I traded all of my hats (save for the untradable ones) in exchange for a copy of Fallout 3 from a new friend of mine on Steam (thanks again Oort!) which I have been happily playing through since and recently started modding the hell outta it as well! I've also bought Portal 2 (I up for co-op if anyone is interested!) and gotten back into playing Left 4 Dead 2 so I'm not just stuck on one game and if you have L4D2 and want someone to shoot and slash dem damn zambies with, feel free to hit me up! I got some great mod maps you should look into but I'm also good with standard campaigns.
Now, getting back on topic, these screen shots are the last that I took before Steam invented that new screen shot system that I personally find kinda annoying, I don't plan on uploading screen shots of Fallout 3, Portal 2 or Left 4 Dead 2 and I have my reasons. If you've played Fallout 3 then you pretty much know what everything looks like in the game so no big surprises there, same goes for Portal 2 and Left 4 Dead 2...on the other hand if you haven't beaten all the levels of P2 co-op I don't want to be the one to spoil it for you either! Further still...these three games don't really offer much in terms of entertaining screen shots as much as Team Fortress 2 did. No epic backstabs, no funny deaths...its all pretty much linear gameplay and nothing really changes in that sense, so no point to in game screenshots there.
Now the other part "for now" this I write because I'm sure that eventually I'll have something to put up on Deviantart, but at the moment all I got is TF2 Screenshots to offer. I was at one point thinking of putting up my images of Anime Central (ACEN) last year in Chicago...but that was last year and the newest con is right around the corner...so putting those up is kinda pointless unless people really want to see them. I might still add the TF2 Cosplay and L4D2 Cosplay (which I was part of...I went as Nick from L4D2!) gathering images since those we're pretty awesome and have some great stories to tell...but the random cosplayers...not so much worth putting up really. So for now its TF2 Screens and we'll see what comes up later when I have more time! Enjoy what I have for now and I look forward to sharing more hopefully in the near future!
Cheers!

I'm thinking...
2 min read
Hmm...I haven't done much with my Deviant art profile as of late, reasons being cause I was mostly working my ass off over the summer and now I just started school and its already annoying at F**k. But I think its time to change that. I'm going to be adding a few new things to my gallery and since I don't have membership and can't make a poll this is the only way I can ask ppl what they want to see more of on here. Yeah I know I probably have the record for least amount of watchers on deviantart cause most of my stuff is from other things or my story but for those who do watch...I thank you and would greatly like your input! So here we go, please vote for one of the following that you would like to see more of.
A. More chapters of my Novel, Anthro.
B. More funny or bizarre images of TF2
or other video games that I take.
C. Something totally new
D. My really bad attempt at drawing something
So there you have it...its viewers choice on my profile and gallery. Also I'm considering on changing my name and profile pic to some thing better...yay or nay?

2 min read
Okay...just a few simple questions...WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY PROFILE PIC AND SIGNATURE!? WHY THE FUCK DOES IT SHOW SOME FUCKING SHIRTLESS GUY...AND WHY THE FUCK DOES IT KEEP FLASHING "<3 <3 TEAM JACOB"!?!
I FUCKING HATE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THAT PIECE OF FUCKING HORSE SHIT BOOK AND MOVIE SERIES TWILIGHT AND I WANT IT TO BURN IN THE DEEPEST DEPTHS OF WHATEVER FUCKING HELL IT SPAWNED FROM!!!
(Deep, very pissed off, heavy sigh)
Okay now that I got that off my chest...seriously...What the fuck!? Apparently I'm not the only one who had this happen to them cause apparently everybody on deviantart has some strange reference to Lady Ga Ga, Something called "Seeker", or fucking twilight...was Deviant art hacked by some rabid fan girl or something? And why of all the things they could have hacked my account with and changed...why oh why did they fucking make mine TWILIGHT!?!?! I really hope to whatever gods are listening out there that this isn't forever cause if it is I have no problem whatsoever with leaving deviantart! Please...someone...anyone...please explain to me what the fuck is going on.
(Note: I apologize for all the swearing but I mean every one of them...and no I am not going to apologize for bashing Twilight...I hate it with every fiber of my being and I want to DIE!!!)
