Free Games. Check out what I have been building lately!

If I put an link or picture (not from the "post image" tab: I mean using a weblink) the blog won't post. Help?

I stayed awake last night until 4AM.
I'd found new inspiration on DeviantArt and I was gathering as many source pictures as I could.
Before I turned my PC off, I'd made a new folder and filled it with over 200 different pixel art base dolls.

I think they're weird, but very helpful.
They're basically naked, bald and featureless manga-esque people, designed to be altered by other users.
I don't do pixel art, but they're good reference material for when one is wondering how to draw a certain position.

I've gotten a few ideas for individual drawings, along with some simple panel comics too.

So this morning, I opened up one of my reference pictures, five people standing in a group, holding a banner - and I drew my own version.

I turned them into The Sparrows (or Team Sparrow, I can't decide on what to call them) from DATWBSVOH, the protagonist wheelchair basketball team.

I sent it to Reiss, and had an urge to draw his character.
So he sent me a photo to use as a reference, and I drew his character, who might I add - actually looks quite a lot like Reiss. (Which surprised me.)

And some randomer added it to their favourites like A SECOND after it'd been uploaded.
It must've caught their eye on the recent updates page.

Reiss liked it too, which I was glad of. :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I spoke to Reiss for a little while and ate a bowl of chicken soup with four slices of bread.
Finally, mam's bought a loaf of my favourite bread - Warbuton's medium. I've ate shitloads of it.

Reiss sent me a YouTube link to a random fucking video called "One Day I Went To Lidl" - and it's a weird song, sung by an African bloke with a weird accent. It's about shoplifting and immigration.
Reiss is just obsessed with Lidl recently.

I had to piss at the: "One day I went to ASDA, I went to shoplift in ASDA..." part.

I spent a few hours playing Sonic Adventure 2: Battle.
Adam got me interested in it again yesterday.

I did a few lost Chao missions, having to use the guide for a few of them.
I feel so accomplished when I get an A ranking the first time, without even going for one.
All five missions on White Jungle - for instance. A rank every time, without even aiming to get one.

And I finished off the Last Story mode and then did the following boss attack.
The Biolizard is a pile of piss when you know what you're doing.

I'm on about 87 emblems at the moment.
I need to get back to where I was on my old save - which was around 115...
I also had A ranks on all of Eggman's levels, so I'll have to do those again.
Not difficult like, Eggman is the easiest character to complete.

Farmville!
I'm level 21 now, and I decided to annoy Shelly and buy a barn.
Shelly was saying she was going to get one, "and I better not get one first".

Then I went a bit overboard on the market and bought a ton of pointless decorations like hay bales, butter churns and wheelbarrows.
You get EXP points for them though, so it's not a total waste.

300 EXP points for the barn alone!

I took a screenshot of this very sexy corner where my barn is:



And here's my STUPID AMOUNT OF COWS:
I don't want to sell any of them though. :(



Shelly says for every 100 EXP points I overtake her, she'll spank me once.
So I wanna get ahead of her! :D
Tee hee hee... Yeah, kinky mood.

Shelly and I have been in a mint mood compared to last night.
She's been going from the kinky extreme to the musy love extreme.
At least she's giving more than one word answers on MSN. That annoys me, because when I really want to talk to her, she'll only give me "OK".

My next blog is blog #200...
I was pondering over what I should do for it.

Blog #200 has to be SOMETHING, though.

I got online last night with the express purpose of posting up photos and pictures and paintings and so much more, but, as usual, after I spend several hours scanning them in, my energy was lost. Then the newly updated Mindsay editor thingie seems to slow up my typing, so I never got to update as planned.  Now I have very little, precious time to post much.  The only thing I can do is post a few photos and images your way so you can peek into what I've been up to.  I wish I could say I'm anything but busy!


Consider these just a teaser:
I finally inked Melusine and Grimalkin's portrait (the one I pencilled in and digitally colored for my header picture here at Mindsay)

Lady Estelle Fox, my 18th century adventuress, shocks a crowd with the discovery of a unicorn that she has turned into a very rare pet indeed

The Euclayptus Fairy Godmother is the favorite so far of my latest paintings

I've been motivating myself to get more exercise with taking photos of the great outdoors while I walk. I like to think it shows in this image that I'm taking more photos than actually walking, but at least I'm getting out of the house!

One of the most AMAZING photographs I've taken last week. The water was so calm and clear it was a mirror for the sky.

I also finally finished the ink drawing "She Dared Not Leave Her Behind" and it was almost too big to scan. What can I say? I work large.

A super secret preview of the comic book cover I've been so hard at work on. This is the back cover.

HOME is finally taking shape to match my imagination. More to come on that, too.

I wish I had time to write more but I seriously have to go back to my drawing board!
