Aware
Desktop image comes from www.studioysr.com. The artist is easy to find.


I added ad-aware to my harddrive with much hesitation. I would normally remove stuff manually, but when I booted up with a search toolbar one morning, that did it. I'm still researching and removing things from the registry that don't belong there, but this helps keep junk in check. Oh yeah, I got rid of that toolbar personally. You better believe it.

Oh, nothing much
Like I need a good reason to post. I saw this character at Nanae's site (the name escapes me), and I wonder if it was an original or someone else's, but maybe it's just me who'd draw someone else's before my own, as if I had any "own", so I drew it with colors sampled straight from the reference.



Thanks for the gifts, Puffyruff Girl.

Puffnstuff archive


Oy, this pop up search window is killing me. I don't understand. There aren't even any links besides my own site listed, so what's the point in a pop up search window that lists similar sites? It annoys the crap out of me. I might be moving the archive to topcities along beside the ASD archive.
Such irony in this post, IF you know what I mean...

Foster home


More stuff on Craig McCracken's new show, "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" and other stuff to come. Interesting how the animation style keeps changing. For example, look at original shorts for Dexter's Lab and the PPG, then the 1st season of Dexter's Lab, the 2nd season of DL and the first seasons of the PPG, then the newest seasons of both shows, then Samurai Jack and the Foster's previews. It's gotten so graphic-y, kind of like what happened to Tom and Jerry over time...
Anyway, here is where I got my Foster's info and here is a list of other previews. 2 kid superhero shows? We've already got the teen superheroes. I think that's enough, but I can't knock it till I see it. This Puffy AmiYumi cartoon however, that's gonna be...different.

Dark Fury
Seems there's an animated Chronicles of Riddick movie, Dark Fury, coming out Tuesday. It's directed by Peter Chung, which means you'll be so interested in the look of things, it won't matter whether the plot's good or not.
Dark Fury official site
The animation clips are the best part. I gotta get in the biz.

Oh yeah, I changed my homepage for the first time in 3 years.

Just like music
I'd been wanting to play the option music from Mario Kart D-D, but the old keyboard didn't work so I kept running upstairs and downstairs from the game to the piano trying to right down the notes. It didn't work out. I was more recently, at school, was able to find low quality MP3s from the game and was able to make 1 midi. I also started on Bowser's Castle, but it was so hard to make out different instrument parts, I gave up, but I partially accomplished my goal. I printed out the notes to the piano track and wrote in the repeated bassline that I'll probably have to change for the piano arrangement. My plug's still busted.


Scribbled out is the word "untitled"

I submitted the midi to vgmusic.com. I'm the first to do that game I think. Since it IS the VG Music Archive, it won't be posted for months. I uploaded it here, but it may not play for some reason. I screwed up the "new age" track so bad. It was hard to disect.

Pilot
I keep doodling the character but haven't done anything with her yet. I just call her Pilot cuz she's got goggles, and they should be there for a reason.



This puff version's cute. I could lock it on the archives pages, maybe.

I planned to do this character I saw at Hanikamiya, but I ended up doing the other one first. I haven't tried to translate the pages yet, so there's not much else I can say.

Surf but no turf
Just surfing this Sunday and wondering why topcities has yet to downgrade my account.



Kaloway ? Andrew Dickman
I like how it looks, so I sketch it

I was somehow led to this EWJ site. Lemm's traditional artwork is so good it makes me want to break out the prismacolor pencils. I wish I could use them on something besides still lifes, but I hate soft lead too much. I don't have enough hardlead studio pencils with me to accomplish much of anything. But whatever. It's the source of my new desktop.
And here's wildbrain.com if you're interested in seeing animated clips and flash stuff.
And here's Crackle, Snap and Pop, (l to r) for anyone who's curious about what I did with that.

The Sound's the Star
What do your get when you look at tons of cereal mascots and later tons of LoZ on-line manga...


Click for 2 more Crackles

After I got Soul Calibur I've been wanting to draw Link with a stupid reference to cookie and shoe making. Then I thought to draw young Link pouring milk into a bowl of Rice Krispies with mascots close at hand. Now I think maybe I'll just do the 3 gnomes and end it. What's the difference between an elf and a gnome anyway?

Heh heh, my title's a picture.
Beaucoupdargent has gone down at least 4 times today. Man, I got files to delete. How can I delete files if I can't check to see what they look like first? There's a way or two around that but it's unnecessarily tedious.
After I did the outlines for that RRB pic I drew about 1 or 2 months ago, I drew the stamp in the corner, too. I would've stuck it on the picture, but it clashed. If the characters weren't copyrighted, I could use it as a signature stamp. I'll stick it somewhere or other.
