I haven't posted any journals in far too long. It is time to change that. I don't really have anything to say though, but I'm still going to post.

I have nothing to say right now.

But stay tuned for high fidelity, intense explosions, and awesomeness!

Okay, so I played paintball for the first time last month. And then again a couple weeks after. The first time was awesome, because it was with a bunch of friends who were also pretty new to it, and I did rather well compared to all but the one friend who used to play a lot.

The second time was alright. It was interesting. They had a big special game going on, and I joined in with a few friends. There were around 60 people, divided up into 4 teams. Normally, the location is divided into a dozen specific arenas that each holds a game. In this game, the entire location was one gigantic arena, even the paths between. The teams had to stealth/battle through the brush and trees and get a flag from each area, and then bring it back to the clubhouse (safe zone)... or horde and defend so other teams couldn't. This would be awesome.. it's a great concept! Unfortunately, most of the other players (weekend warriors) were out there in full camo and fully automatic paintball guns, while me and friends had all crappy rental stuff. The rental guns are barely accurate at under 10 feet, while their guns were much more accurate at 3x the distance AND full auto!

They called those guys the "Pros". Ha! I'd think all the people with rental gear were bigger Pros, considering the guts it takes to go out there while being completely out-gunned.

Anyways, I was out there with a sleeveless shirt and shorts, because it was hot out and I didn't bring the right long-sleeve stuff I meant to. The Pros thought I was a bit crazy going out like that, but being shot in the arm doesn't even hurt anyways. The bad news: I was in the foliage-dense map area called "Vietnam" when I tripped over a short stick barricade, and landed hard on my left hand. I figured I sprained the thing, so I kept going until I got shot. I rested at the safe zone for an hour with some ice on it. Then I put it in a sling, grabbed my paintball gun with my right hand, and went back out! It was epic!

I went to work the next day. But after work, I went to the hospital to get it checked out. Turns out I broke my wrist. Right now it's in a cast. And my left hand too! I'm left-handed, so I can't draw or write, or most of anything that I'm good at. I've recently realized that I suck at using a fork with my right hand, but I'm fully ambidextrous with chopsticks. I love using chopsticks, but forks are more efficient to eat with... until now!

So that's why I haven't submitted any sketches for a couple weeks, and why I doubt I will for another 4 or 5 weeks. This sucks. They say an artist who can't create tends to become destructive, and I believe it. I control myself well, but there's a definite urge to smash things lately.

I have been selected to be an Anthro Educator. Behold: news.deviantart.com/article/99…

I tend to bum around the IAmAnthro chat in some of my spare time, and I love giving in-depth critiques. I figure, while I'm at it, I should get involved in this Educator program so at least more people can know to look for me if they need a good critique.

Critiques are the life-blood of progress. Be tough and open, because sensitivity and stubbornness can lead you to protecting your errors. I'm not a mean critic, but sometimes people take it too personally when it is only to their benefit (I have too, in the past, and it really is irrational in hindsight.)



I'm keeping the Feature Tree up longer still due to traffic 'round here, and the fact that it's not complete yet.

------

I am branching off from :icondarktaru:'s Feature tree!

First 10 people to comment in this journal will get featured. :icondarktaru: gets the first one, however, so just 9. I will post links to 3 pictures from your galleries. The only stipulation is that you must do the same thing in your journal, with 10 people Featured as well. I don't have to be in said list, but gosh that would be swell... I'm all for getting known out there a bit more. ^_^

I figure this'll be simple and fun! --except that I'll be counting to Ten using trinary, because counting regularly is for chumps!

SuperEpic

1 min read
I've begun SuperEpic, the comic of epic proportions! Four pages are completed so far, though the fourth took much longer than the rest.

The plan: 1 page per week. I've yet to set a specific update day, but I will iron that out as I go. Once I find a day I seem to gravitate towards, I will stick with it; I could see likely Friday.


I'm also considerationating the purchase of a subscription. I'm using DA enough lately that I could only benefit from one. The only thing stopping me, however, is that I don't want to have to spend a whole bunch of time with user page setup, and new graphics to go with it. I will inevitably get to all of that stuff regardless, these issues are just minor delays. Of key importance is getting my comic up, all the rest is lesser.

"...before our imaginations run wild!"

Okay, I've been watching a ton of South Park. That show really isn't slowing down; newer episodes are so well beyond old ones, unlike a lot of shows that cling to their prime season formulas and start crapping-out with lack of originality. (I can't say I dislike The Simpsons now, but I have no interest in watching new episodes.)

In other news, I've begun drawing so much that people will wish I wasn't drawing so much! I hope this means I'll start having stuff uploaded before my drawing kicks wears down (and maybe that it doesn't wear down at all).

I've also picked up spriting again. My programmer friend wants to pick up making an RPG again, and I'm the main/only artist on deck. It's going slowly so far, just because I've been drawing and getting squished by work/classes at the same time.
