How people could draw scenes so realistic is beyond me! Wish I could draw like this!!! Even a supposed to be simple chibi character took me +2 hours just to get a rough result. *Sigh!*
I really don't understand how it's achieved. Those kind of 'soft' texture images looks realistic, and is use in games as backdrop. I know there's at least 1 program that allows easy use to achieve such result using their pre-provided tiles for indoor scenes, but not outdoors. Or I can simply take a free to use image from the net. But it doesn't quench my curiosity. E.g. which color palette they use (RGBA, CMYK, etc.) Not to mention, I can't always make compromises to settle with an image that doesn't fulfill my need. Then again, I suck at drawing to begin with. I know the principles of drawing; prespective, mixing color, shadings, etc. learnt those in lower to mid grade, but that's so long ago, and I haven't drawn anything until recently. Yet, back then, I suck at drawing as I am still at present. Nothing has changed. If only there's a program that enables me to convert a photograph to such imagery quality.
Shit! I didn't realize Wacom Pen nib wears out damn fast. Been trying to find trimmer line as cheaper alternative, so far fruitless. All lawn stores in town conveniently out of stock at the same time, and none can tell me when they'll re-stock. Original nibs cost over 9USD@5pcs, that's excluding the 15USD to commute 2x3 hours to the city.
Ugh~! Not only did Steam automatically download a "useless" (for me it's quite useless) 4.8GB Italian Voice and Language pack for "Deponia - The Complete Journey", it also had to mess up the achievements system as well. Now instead of going through the second game (Chaos on Deponia) I have to start over on the first game yet again! I didn't mind starting over when I played through the first game on its own after I purchased the complete trilogy pack seeing as the trilogy pack uses a different save file system from all three games, but having to restart because of poor and useless update patches is just infuriating.
Yay! I finally found it, although I had to fly 2 hours to a neighbouring country and that too still requires me to comb 15 stores! Imagine 5 pcs of 1" original nibs would cost USD8, a 6m spool merely cost USD6, go ahead and calculate how much I could save! PS: The travelling and lodging expenses wasn't on me!!!
i wish i could get some actual mental help, it's getting sort of frustrating being bothered by the NHS but never actually getting offered anything that isn't vague advice or medicine that makes me feel worse
Living mere few kilometres from a military air strip, right under their flight path can be so annoying. Been hearing them fly numerous Hercules planes, Sukhoi planes, and Puma helicopters for the past 48 hours non-stop at such low altitude! They're probably conducting military exercise, but for goodness sake, the sound pollution from their fly passes every few minutes is freaking unbearable! No wonder the Osakans demands Futenma MCAS moved out.
As childish as this maybe, it took me a month to draw these. If anyone recalled me mentioning about working on chibi Naruto characters back on Dec 29th 2015. Had to re-do so many time, that's because I suck at drawing.. Sadly it didn't make the cut during selection. So I thought, might as well I showcase it here for nostalgic reason.
29 sakura is really good, its just like her in the anime cool drawings. Btw what was the selection about ?
Ugh~! Nearly had a heart attack this afternoon Was under a lot of emotional stress lately but the pressure wasn't enough to overload me, so to speak. I felt a throbbing pain on my chest and I felt quite dizzy. Almost blacked out and dropped on the sidewalk had I not maintained my balance and grabbed on the nearest lamp post beside me. I guess part of my subconscious didn't want me to make a spectacle of myself in public... but if I could just be honest.. I really wished I actually dropped dead right then and there. Yeah I know, me being all negative again, but hey a rant is a rant. If I were around more supportive people growing up instead of being surrounded by jerks most of my life I wouldn't have turned out like this. Also it doesn't help that I'm all alone again.. there is my mom and my Godmum yes, but I really need someone outside the family unit who'd support me in times like these. Also mom and Godmum are already nearing the end of their life journey. I really feel that I can't do this all by myself, I'm not really that strong even though my outward appearance makes people think otherwise.
It was good you didn't. Had you fell and knock the back of your head, you'd probably be in a coma, paralysed, or dead. Not to mention, there maybe some opportunist whom will rob you instead of help. You know your mom still needs you regardless she says it or not. I lost a very dear dog last night, thus why I wasn't around till late. She died of cervix cancer around 8 P.M. She was fat, and loves eating. Although her overweight condition at the end was more due to her illness than body fat. Every night she sleeps next to me, and every morning she'd offer a hand shake, and would remind me of her feeding time. I was there when she came into this world, and was by her side up to her departure. She was 1 of 2 dogs that's emotionally very close to me, my other 3 are less intimate. Despite the sadness of losing her, it's a consolation to know her suffering been lifted by God. Now I'm left with 4.
The most annoying Artards in life are not internet trolls. They're Real Life friends who label you only for what they have perceived you to be despite you telling them outright who you are Totally pissed off at one of my Social Media friends right now

Same real life friend is pestering me to post video game reviews on his STUPID blog. If you're going to pester someone to do something, despite you advertising your blog is a hobbyist's blog, you better pay me to do so Private messaging me things like, "Post a review now!", or "Post some screenshots now!", are sure fire ways to make me no want to do it... unless of course I am paid in cash for all the pestering you do A Hobby is something you do for fun but when you are pestered to do something, that something becomes not fun.
And I found muting all of his conversations more fun. A little nudge more and I'll outright unfriend him if worse comes to worst.
You don't get to dictate how your life story unfolds as you live through it. It's been written for you before you were even born. You're simply living through what's been written for you and making them happen from prologue to epilogue. (Credit : Me - the one who typed all these. )
When will Microsoft and EA realize that the biggest reason Steam (and other sites that sell DRM Free games and software like GOG) is better is because they offer their stuff for purchase using local/Regional currency? Not everyone has US Dollars you know Also these other Digital stores also offer their items with discounts based on a particular region's economy. Yeah I know people have abused the system... circa two years ago when people from outside Russia used VPNs so they can buy games off of Steam Russia because games are cheaper there, but Valve has since rectified the matter by Region locking games which is kind of a bummer when you kinda want to gift your long time friends from abroad a game they have wishlisted as a token of appreciation but what can you do. Also I just posted this rant because I'm pissed off at Microsoft for asking me to pay up $10USD just so I can change the gamertag I had typed because of typo reasons I'd gladly kiss Gabe Newell's ass for giving as a better digital purchasing service than EA and Microsoft could ever come up with. Quoting one of my favorite South Park moments...
My fucking telecommunication provider is a pain in the ass! I haven't been able to use it since yesterday afternoon. Damn network downed after heavy storm from server side. So now I can't access the internet via the network, can't watch cable tv, and can't use the land line. All 3 requires the damn network! Made report yesterday afternoon. Today already re-complain 3x! Call center can't find out if field technician is working on it or napping on the job. But it's about to rain again, and I doubt they'd work under the rain. Feels like a flipped turtle without my network access.
