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 ^_^

DECISIONS DECISIONS...

I'm toying with the idea of getting my hair cut like this... I know it's a boy's cut but I think it looks feminine enough for me without being too girly - I'm just not sure. Fortunately hair grows back so if it is a mistake it isn't permanent but growing my fringe out was a pain in the backside ¬¬ But I've wanted an Asian hairstyle for so long... *torn* Edit: Dude! WTF is wrong with Blogger today?! It keeps eating my damn paragraphs! ¬¬

VAMPIRE THE MASQUERADE

I'm actually very anxious at the moment because I think I have been too harsh with someone in particular. I'm new to the judging scene and I try to be as honest as possible - when I'm faced with so many wonderful entries scoring them is extremely difficult and so when I see something that -to me- looks like the entrant didn't even try... it irritates me. I'll feel absolutely awful if I've completely misinterpreted the picture but being active in the modelling community myself I know how much time and effort goes into some of these shots and... well I just didn't see it. I didn't really see anything; not even the model and certainly not the assignment brief. I'm so nervous about how they'll react to it though. A part of me is thinking that I should've tried harder to score it but at the same time I kept pouring over it, trying my damndest. I've never seen this happen before in any competition I've been in and I honestly have no experience in it. I think... I'd like for someone to say that I did the right thing or that they got the same vibe that I did just to make me feel better. I'm actually scared ^_^; Scoring freakin' sucks! XD

NEW HOUSE

Just a small build although it actually took me quite a long time to do. I went at it with a different approach than I normally do with builds and I think it worked out quite well ^_^

BATTLE OF THE BANDS - FINALE FINAL 3

Hurrah! I finally got my ass into gear to finish :D

-and here are the end products:


After the unfortunate and tragic death of Mihoki after an outdoor charity concert overran, exposing him to the sun’s deadly UV rays F.u.u.k.a was left to give birth to and raise their daughter with her other two band mates Ryutaro and Niwa’s assistance; a member short, still grieving and with a tiny little life to think of the band went on an indefinite hiatus much to the anguish of their loyal fans.

As the months slowly passed them by she began to grow particularly close to Ryutaro who had been her rock during those difficult times and a new romance soon blossomed.

However; Mihoki who had regretted his carelessness that day had lingered behind in the mortal world instead of passing on to the netherworld like all spirits are supposed to. In fact he had stayed by his girlfriend’s side all this time becoming bitter and twisted with jealousy and remorse as he not only watched her grieve for him but also move into the arms of a new lover… his close friend no less!

Enraged by the turn of events and overcome with spite he became a man possessed; a vengeful spirit consumed by his own hatred and jealousy he now frequently expresses this anger through a series of fearsome screams in a disembodied voice that no living being can hear.

Between touring the country and taking some much needed down-time Despairsray can most commonly be found in the recording studio cutting tracks for their next album. Mihoki and Ryutaro collaborate on the lyrics with Niwa and F.u.u.k.a providing their musical expertise to get the sound just so.

Song-writing is a long, thought out process the beginning stages of which tend to be done in the confined space of their tour bus where entertainment is minimal at best.

Recording even just one new track for an album can take hours if not days and the recording studio is a close and stuffy environment to work in; as a result the band often dresses down from their usual elaborate style for the sake of comfort – recording is a strainuous and frustrating task in itself without adding sharp pointed accessories and heavy layers upon layers of fabric to the mix.


Wish me luck guys! & Good luck to Mintkiss too :D

THE SIMS...

Lately I've been feeling somewhat torn. I've been getting an overwhelming urge to play TS2. There is just something very lacking in TS3 and that is becoming more and more apparent as I go back to actually playing the game as opposed to just messing about on it. There's no warmth in TS3 IMO, all the neat little quirks and whatnot found in TS2 just aren't there in TS3. If Generations can add to that then I may well decide to get it although I still have a feeling EA are going to half-ass it as always.

The downside of going back to TS2 isn't the loading screens as such, I'm used to waiting to play games since pretty much everything wants to install itself onto my PS3 before I can use it (¬¬) but I think I'll really miss the Create a Style and the graphics. Oh sure EA's sims look like pudding and I want to just lock them up and burn them to get their disgusting pudding heads out of my damn town... but the game is gorgeous. It's just a shame that EA totally missed the mark with everything else and took out what made The Sims truly great.

I don't know. Maybe I'll run both games; shouldn't stress the computer out to do that. I'll have to find my disks though. Or maybe I won't bother *shrug* I've just been getting the urge lately.

LOL maybe I just miss having proper apartments (and damn, I do miss them XD)

...yeah this post was pointless XD
