BLOGGER - I'M LEAVING YOU

Fuck you Blogger and your little dog too. I'm taking my ball and I'm going to Wordpress instead since you keep insisting on screwing up all my posts. I'll still be lurking my followed blogs here, but my posts from now on will be done on my Wordpress account here: http://darkslayer709.wordpress.com/ I'm sorry it has come to this but blogger, you haven't been working properly in a month, you fucking suck ass ¬¬

POSE BOX

I'm quite torn about the new poses that are available. Don't get me wrong I think they look cool but IMO I think they're kind of a cheap way to get an above-average modelling shot. I'm not sure how I'd feel about competing next to someone who can get a shot like that with next to no effort (OK I know making it work is a bitch but bear with me here). When I take my pictures I can spend hours at a time sifting through shot after shot looking for something where everything lines up properly. I'd be pretty damn pissed off if someone cheated and used a pose box, spent about 5 minutes on their entry and ended up winning because of it. That's just my two cents anyway (and I bet blogger deletes my paragraphs again ¬¬) - there's something about these pose boxes that is making me a bit... I dunno', like I said as cool as they are it just seems kind of cheap in comparison to putting the effort in yourself but then I feel the same way about editing in general, face plastering, hair drawing and putting a sim on a totally different background - perhaps it's just me and how I am. Obviously though because I am hosting a competition I'm going to remain impartial towards it - if someone happens to use it then fine that's OK but I'm still going to mark on their picture quality overall rather than 'ZOMG the model is POSING!!!! FULL MARKS :D' ¬¬

BATTLE OF THE BANDS

AAAHHHHHH! I won! I can't believe I actually won! I thought I was taking such a risk with my final shot since the colour scheme was so washed out but YAY! I won :D I'm so freakin' happy right now!

NEW BUILD - DIVE BAR


I'll keep this brief since blogger keeps removing my paragraphs; this is the dive bar that I've been working on. I made a post about it on General Discussion since I had a big patch of empty space that needed filling - much thanks for all the suggestions :D it needs play testing but after that I'll probably put it up for download ^_^

BLOGGER & PARAGRAPHS

OK! Is it just me or is there something wrong with Blogger? These past few posts it insists on deleting my paragraph spaces even when I put 4 or 5 lines between each one :/ it's bloody annoying!

MANGA ASSIGN 2


Unfortunately Kei was not having the best of days; a new spirit had taken up residence in the student dormitories and after begrudgingly listening to her bemoan her situation and curse her boyfriend for daring to move on with his life (apparently they had been childhood sweethearts and she had been dead for a good four years now) he had not been able to turn in until the very wee hours of the morning… and so he had overslept… by two whole hours thus missing not only his much-needed first cigarette of the morning but also the first half of an important lecture. Wonderful. Throughout the course of the day there was little in the way of improvement; he had gotten a soaking transferring between buildings and subsequently missed the best food on offer in the university cafeteria after spending a good forty-five minutes fixing his hair in the bathroom and then despite the gnawing hunger he managed to fall asleep during his second lecture that had been just as important if not moreso than his first. He never did manage more than a few puffs on a lonely cigarette. Needless to say knowing what awaited him back at the dorms and after the utterly dreadful day he had already endured he was in no hurry to return and deal with another earful from that pain in the a.s.s spirit. He needed a stiff drink to take the edge off his bad day but it was student night and his usual haunts were heaving with the types of people that he was in no mood to deal with right there and then. This was what led to him meandering aimlessly throughout the city streets. That was when he stumbled upon the underground bar purely by chance; hidden away in a less than desirable part of the neighbourhood – granted the bouncer-type guy at the door had seemed a little odd but a bar was a bar and he was parched so he ventured down into the dark, smoky depths… and got the shock of his life. Spirits…! Spirits everywhere! Dancing on the tables to surprisingly trendy music, warming the barstools, mixing the d.a.m.n dayglow-coloured drinks…! There were even a pair of spirits having a fight in the middle of the bar! He would never become accustomed to the world of spirits – NEVER!

VANITY ASSIGNMENT 8

I had to create a picture using purple and green as primary colours - I think I did OK ^_^
