I just have to survive for 2 1/2 more weeks and finals.

Even started a drawing (first attempt in at least 5 months!) and I have to say, I think my skills have improved during all that down time. Go figure.

Funny thing just happened. I was thiiis close to closing down my account for good when I was hit with a change of mind. I'm in my freshman year of college shootin for a History/Journalism major and suffice it to say that's been working out to be a real pain in the butt (more the history part rather than the journalism, that's a sweet deal). Sooo I've been thinking this past month and I think I might have come to a conclusion. I may transfer to a different college for some kind of Digital/Graphic art degree. The more and more I think about it, the more and more I like it, so I may very well end up going that route. If I do, you can be sure I'll be back as the most productive and active Ben that I've ever been. I'll know for sure within the next few weeks.

Yeah, so I haven't drawn anything in a reaaal long time, mainly for time reasons. I miss it a lot, lol, so it'd be really sweet if this did work out.

So how's everyone been?!

Annnyway, updates, yo! Senior year's at the climax right now, things are rollin awesome. Not a whole lot at all could be better. I got a job at Quizno's, haha. I smashed my car (wasn't my fault, man!). Me and a couple close friends finally got serious with a band (no shittin around, either, this is balls to the wall and it sounds awesome), its for our Senior Seminar Project. Basically the massive graduate-or-not project that everyone has to do. That's turning out beautifully.

I can do a type of 3D modeling now. I'm taking an advanced drafting class where I work with all the latest Architectural Drafting programs and it simply rocks. That's about the only time I get to "draw" these days. I've got a model that's a couple days away from completion, I'll try to upload that if I can convert it so that it doesn't look choppy.

I got my college plans ironed out. I'll be going to Michigan Tech in the fall (possibly transferring to the Air Force Academy after my first year) for a major in History and minor in Aerospace Sciences. My main focus, though, is gonna be AFROTC. I'll be joining the Air Force as an officer through that and going for a Fighter Pilot career. If I don't make the cut I'll probably get stuck piloting something larger, either way I'm flying.

Aaaand I think that's all the bigger stuff? We'll call it a day. So what's new with you guys? Haven't chatted much with anyone lately.

I've been bummin around lately. Just got back from a trip to minnesota and wisconsin, been workin on some drawings...SPEAKING of which, I think I'm in a block D8< Or maybe its just my freakishly short attention span when it comes to drawings, but I can't get ANYTHING past the lineart stage D: So I've got a nice pile of lineart pictures and concepts and I can't bring myself to submit any cause I haaaaate posting lineart. But Ima probably force myself to...yeah, that's what I'll do. Expect a few crappy linearts tomorrow >.> I promise... OR SO HELP ME I'LL LISTEN TO TWO STRAIGHT TRACE ATKINS SONGS AND DIE OF A BRAIN HEMORAGE.

So that be the scoop my compadres. It ain't much -never is- but thas all ya get...for now. Later

And you'll be pleased to know that I'm getting close to submitting my next big thang. S'about 60% done and I've been working at a pace of about 15% a day, so do the math I'd say definitely no longer than a week. And that's a FOR SURE estimate right there, no "Oh sure, I'll have it up in a couple days." Then submit it a month later If it continues as well as it has been then its definitely gonna be my best piece yet. Well...my favorite, at least. Its all opinion, people!

And I've been a rather productive mood for the past week, so hopefully that'll hold for a while and I can pump out some more stuff

So with that I'm outta here! Take it easy!

Anyway, thing's have been going well. School year's winding down and things are getting busier. Drawing's totally been shot for the past month or so, can't come up with anything. Though there's one that I'm about to submit just cause I can't seem to get the last little bit right D:

In other news, that Drill Competition I was talking about a while ago is all done. I did a whole lot better than I thought I'd do, lol, I was one of the best in my Battalion. I could give you all the stats but not many of you would probably be able to understand em. I came out of it with a trophy and a couple medals, s'all good

Next week I head out to be a counselor at this awesome camp out in the middle of nowhere All the schools in the area take turns bringing their 6th grade classes out there for a week around this time every year. Its like the big thing that the 6th graders look forward to all year long. I still remember when I went, lol. So that's gonna be a blast I'll probably post pictures when I get back

And that's about it. So for now you can read this really long thing that'll likely take up the rest of my page, lol.

Uuuupdates: Actually, not too much has been going on. Its just been busy. School's been going good (as it can, lol) The snow's lookin like it finally gonna melt which means paintball season's commin up quick. Uhh...I've actually got a drill competition comming up soon for my ROTC class. I'm in an Honor Guard company and for those of you who've got no clue as to what I'm talkin about: Have you ever seen Marine drill teams toss around those white rifles? Yeah, that's basically what I do, only with much heavier 15lb M1 Garands. Its awesome. So I gotta do my own 1-man routine in addition to a company routine in a competition against other schools. I can't wait x)

Spring Break's comming up pretty quick for me. I've just got this week and next week and I'm off for a little while, can't wait

In the drawing department, I've got a couple things in the works. I'm working on my first human realism drawing without a reference (and its tough! especially when you suck at drawing people in the first place xD) But I'll get that out one of these days.

Uhh...not too much else. Well, nothing that I can think of now, at least. But I'm crazy tired, so this is all probably sounding a little weird anyway xD

OH YEAH! I'm not dead anymore, don'tcha know

Later guys

http://Inamber.deviantart.com/journal/16512547/ Mon, 21 Jan 2008 20:11:22 PST Now back to normal.. Which is lazy an unproductive. Ooo-rah!!

Anyways, I was tagged AGAIN D:< some time ago by (s'all good ) And now I'm required to list 8 wild and exciting things about meh. So here we go:

1.) I have the best, most uber awesome girlfriend in teh world. (And I know you check meh page all the time you dirty little snoop D8< Haha, Je t'aime )
2.) I drive a 95 Chevy Cavalier (red and awesome)
3.) I just recently discovered a love for Dr. Pepper. I always hated it as a kid, but just now all the sudden I love it, haha. Dew, of course, is still on top.
4.) I'm planning on joining either the army or air force as a helicopter pilot (cause I'd love nothing more than to fly for a living, even if that means gettin shot at. Its all cool) I'm also going for a major in some type of architechural drafting/design.
5.) Favorite restaraunt is...Famous Dave's. Anyone ever been to one? I'm not lying one bit, they have the best ribs in the world.
6.) I listen to a ton of music. The Classic Crime's gotta be meh fav band (and no one's heard of em xD But I like it that way, haha)
7.) I've been planning a trip to the west coast with a friend or two for a few years now. It'd be right after we graduate. And its GONNA happen.
8.) Ummm...Dang, what for a last random fact? Uh.. Gladiator's one of my favorite movies? Haha, oh well. S'all good.


In other news, or lack of. I'm back on a normal schedule, so I'm HOPING to get something up soon. I've got two pieces that are about 75% done. All I need is to sit down and work on something for once. Nothing much has been happening lately. We're getting a nasty little snowstorm. Its been at it for a few days now D:< Really, really cold...

Oh cwap..I gotta run, and I know I'm missing something..I'll figure it out later. Till then!

And BAM! That's it for that

So in other news...Merry Christmas everybody! Its kinda caught me off gaurd this year, lol. Doesn't even feel like it, even now, haha. I guess it might be because we don't have too much snow. Usually we've got tooons by this time, but not this year (or last year >.> ) But oh well.

Umm...I dunno what else... I'm gonna be headin down to lower MI on wednesday. I'll be down there till around the 30th, so not too long. I'll still be in contact. I've also got one drawing coming along rather nicely. All the lineart's done, all I've gotta do now is shade it in. And I'm on a roll with it, so be expecting something soon..ish.

But I guess that's all for now. Hope everyone has an awesome Christmas! Talk to you guys later

Aaand I suppose I should give a lowdown of my thanksgiving break. Seew yeah, my birthday was last wednesday (finally 17) haha. Had a massive thanksgiving dinner the next night, lol. Picked up Mass Effect, too. Awesome game, I love it. If Halo didn't have its multiplayer then Mass Effect would definitely take the cheese. Its pretty short but its part of a trilogy so there's plenty more left. If you like rpg's and you're a sci-fi fan, pick it up. Its that simple. I spent my whole break playing it in my free time xD Other than that I didn't do too much. I went hunting, I guess, but I didn't get anything, lol.

Other than that I'm doing pretty good. Heh, I realized I get more pageviews when I don't submit stuff xD Laziness DOES pay off, haha. No, but thanks guys for all the views, I appreciate each and every one

So what have all you guys been up to? Haven't been hearing too much lately, so that means you're busy. So don't say "nothin"

And I'm not sure what else is going down right now, I'm pretty much out of it, haha. Too tired SO if I remember something I'll probably just say it randomly (which is also cool) or I'll just wait until next journal. Buuut I'm guessing all of you figured that anyway.

So ya, just realized I've been pretty much dead around here for the past few weeks D: Been busy with school and stuffs. And surprisingly enough (hoho, get this) I HAVEN'T been playing Halo 3 that much. Mainly on the weekends, hehe.

But the main reason as to why I haven't been too active lately is school. Its just been tiring the crap out of me lately and so when I get home I just try to relax and get some homework done. Just being lazeh I guess, haha.

Oh, and a little update to the few that know of its existence; We've been pouring large sums of time into The Project lately and its finally seeming to pay off. We've actually got a good story now! And lotso progress is being made, lol. Can't say much more though, just be excited

Anyway, that's enough excuses, haha. I've been doodling little things here and there lately, but I figured out what I need. I've been just throwing things down on paper from my head for too long now. I mean its good to be able to do, but I need to start using references again. That's where the big cheese is. So expect something like that for a next piece (and NO photoshop. takes too long and it depresses the crap outta meh brain. so they'll be in pencil for a while) and notice there's no time table? Yeah, that's intentional I never live up to deadlines anyway, so I'll just suprise you guys xD

Oh, haha. Almost forgot xD. Basketball season's comming up in mid November. Its gonna be tough this year. Funky practice times, different coach, and biggest of all; Its Varsity. Things are crapload faster and meh height doesn't really count for as much anymore, unless I start dunking this year (aww yeah, baby xD)

AND! I hit 5000 pageviews while I was out! Thanks everyone!

Sooo, that sounds like everything for now. Talk to you guys later!

Though I'm kind of looking forward to going back in some ways as usual; gettin back together with friends and having the occasional fun class that becomes the only thing keeping you sane over the year xD This year's gonna be tough for me I can tell right now. I'm packed with tough homework classes and about the only easy class I've got is ROTC, which is pretty cool. Heh, our school's so small that we didn't even have an RO program until now, and even then we're being shipped up the hill to another school for it every day xD I'm goin for color guard

But yeah, other than school, the next biggest thing on the list of upcomming events is the Halo 3 launch x) Oh god I'm so freakin excited. I've got my pre-order all paid and set up for overnight shipping (for a hefty fee -_-) I'm taking the 25-26th off of school and stockpiling the best beverages and snack foods available. A little overboard? Maybe. Probably. Yeah, I think it is. But its Halo 3, I don't care. I can afford a geeky indulgence every once in a while xD

Oh ya. And stupid DA took my Enviro Practice outta meh gallery Apparently it was in the wrong category so they took it upon themselves to throw it in my scraps and let me try again....DA's been on my nerves more and more lately..

But ya, anyway, I've been workin on a couple pieces. Not sure how they'll end up. Photoshopping really takes it out of me and I haven't done a real pencil drawing since...before school ended? Ya, so the next few thing's will probably be in pencil

And on a final note, I'll be heading to Wisconsin on monday. Real short trip, we'll be gettin back tuesday night xP

Later!

But dood, I'm like so happy right now x) Got a call from the xbox people handling my 360 repairs. I guess they just extended the warranty for my type of problem for an extra 3 years, so now I don't have to pay a penny (sooo much better than paying $130 x) So now I've all of the sudden got all the money I need to pay off my pre-order for the H3 Legendary thing. Life is good.

Hehe, and one of my best friends that I haven't seen in close to a year decided to pop into town by surprise a few days ago, so we've been catching up and doing all kinds of crazy things xD Comes at a cost too though: I haven't gotten much time to really draw >.> But I will. I HAVE to.

Oh, and incendiary grenades and flamethrowers for Halo 3 anyone? It keeps getting better and better by the day x)

Later

I know I need to finish a few PS pieces and a bazillion other things, I'll get to them...eventually. But ya..I'll keep trying my best to get something decent out there D:

In other news, I just had pretty much the bestest paintball fight evar the other day. I know it sounds pretty geeky, but it rocked. We had an awesome bunch of guys out there and we had a great time for a change xD I was caught more than once on the recieving end of about 3-5 barrels at close range, but that just made it even better x) Good times

And ya, I'll be heading out on Thursday to Rochester, MN for a few days. Gotta crash a friend's wedding and hit a mall or two in the area. It'll only be for a few days.

Then of course I got stuck with one of these bad boys (I can see the disapproval in your eyes ) Sooo yeah, don't feel pressured to do this, only if you want to.

You have to...
1. ...respond with something random about me.
2. ...challenge me to try something.
3. ...pick a color that you associate with me.
4. ...tell me something you like about me.
5. ...tell me my first/clearest memory of me.

But boy..That was pure awesome. Once we got there, for the first week we just bummed around, got to know people and helped out wherever we could. Of course Tok isn't a big town. It's more like a village. Kinda small one at that, but it rocked. We shot some hoops down at the local park (and I swear Alaskans have like a linked mind or something cause as soon as one came by and asked to play, we had the entire town down there. And these guys were good, really good. Heh, I even met a guy that pwned me last year and wouldn't stop calling me Darko xD)

So yeah, after that first week we went out to a camp in the middle of nowhere (it was teh uberness). No electricity, no running water, no plumbing, nothing cept for a bunch of plywood cabins and a cookshack We had to run a public camp for 7-11 year old kids. Originally our group wasn't going to be alone in the task but then the other group couldn't make it, so we had to run the whole show by ourselves. And we rocked the house

I dunno. For some reason I just get along with kids. Most kids anyway, lol. I was a counselor along with one of my buds in one cabin while the rest of our group was split up likewise. I swear we had the best group of guys ever. Right off the bat we all got along perfectly and by the end of the week we felt like family. They taught me about as much as I taught them, it surprised me. And it was kinda funny. None of them could really understand that we'd driven 6 days just to help out at that camp with them. Or if they did, they thought we were crazy for it xD It was worth it, and so much more.

But during the course of the week at the camp, my schedule was packed. We'd wake up before everyone at 7:15 and go to sleep somewhere in the neighborhood of 11 depending on how quickly everyone quieted down, lol. We canoed, fished like crazy, shot .22's, ate, told them about ourselves and life back in the south xD Heh, all in all my and meh buds caught like 32 rainbow trout and I filleted and cooked every single one bebe xP That's like what? 64 fillets, lol. I'm all fished out.

Then on the last night me and a few of my friends decided to have some fun. So right after we got all of our cabins asleep we sneaked (that word always gets meh :S) out to the shore and started a fire. We cooked fish that'd we'd caught earlier and just sat and talked for a while. After that we all went out onto the lake a fished for a while. But dood it was awesome. There was fog rolling off the lake and 2 moose right on the other side of the lake. Then after about 2 hours of fishing we took it out to the middle and went swimming for a while. It rocked.

So ya, after that camp was over and we hung around town for a few days said bye to everyone and went home.

And I know I missed a ton of stuff, this is like the tip of the ice berg, I just didn't want to go on forever xD So if you want to know more feel free to ask.

I'll post pics ASAP and I'll hopefully update on other stuff tomorrow Other then that, I've missed you guys, its good to be back. Can't wait to talk to everyone.

But ya, until then

So yeah, the road schweet up until we hit the mountains. They were cool for about an hour, then it got real old, real fast. It was like a full day of nothing but mountains and hick towns >.> But that was the only bad part, and it wasn't even all that bad xP

So now I'm up in Tok, Alaska. Its right near the border, real cool like We're helping out at a camp, fixing it up and basically running everything for about 2 weeks. We're out in the middle of nowhere, on a beautiful lake (stocked with tons of rainbow trout) with no running water and no electricity. Awesomes beyond compare. And there's liek a ton of 7-13 year olds that'll be out there for our second week, so we're planning on pitting em against each other in a massive 3 way capture the flag game (using real flags. pretty big ones) And fish. I'm gonna fish until I can't possibly fish any more. And I'll eat the fish. And since its light up here 24/7 I can even fish at night! xD

And yeah, there was a big grizzly spotted out at the camp last week, supposedly showing signs of aggression, so we'll have a big guy in the neighborhood.

Oh! And I was watching Fox news back when we hit North Dakota. I turn it on and they're talking about a group of professional trackers. They've all pooled together and have been looking for Bigfoot xD You won't believe where they're looking xDD Liek 3-10 miles away from my house, lmao. This is real shit too, no jokes. They'll be reporting their finds all at once, sometime in the future, not sure on specifics xP

And yeah, the trips been uber so far. Much better than even last year. The ride was schweet and we've been having a blast. We filled up an entire 1 gig memory card on our camera just on the ride up, so we're taking loads of pictures. I'm not sure if I'll be able to stay in contact, seeing as I'm buying time online at a local gift store and I'll be out at the camp the remainder of the time, but I'll try.

And I have been reading everyone's comments. Thank you everyone. I Don't know how many I could actually reply to but I've read every one. This connection is even worse than my home one >.>

But anywayz, time's up, I gotta run. Talk to you guys later!

As I mentioned in the previous journal I'll be gone from July 2-28, so if any of you have anything uber important to tell me like "OMG, I LOVE YOU BEN! MARRY ME NOW!" get it out there now, or forever hold your peace

So ya, I've been working on a little last minute pic to throw in the gallery before I leave too. If all goes well it'll be up there tonight (but when does anything ever go well for me?) At very least you'll have more lineart xD

I'll be sure to take a lot of pictures and post a few when I get back. And if I'm lucky I might even get to post a few little comments here and there along they way, provided the hotels have business rooms xP

And with that being said, I'll talk to all you guys later. A lot later, lol. Don't have too much fun around here while I'm gone xD

I've been trying to draw lately but things are comming slow, no doubt thanks to my schedule. I mean dangit! It's summer! I should be the laziest thing that ever walked the Earth right about now xD But I guess its good in a way after friday I should have a much lighter load, so expect me to get some work done! If I don't, then get on my case about it, cause I hate just sitting here as much as you guys hate watching a dead person xP

Aaand, I guess I should tell you guys that I'll be gone to Alaska for about a 3 1/2 weeks, I know! I'll be leaving on the 2nd and I should get back on the 28th. Driving takes up half the trip xD Takes 6 days of 10 hours of driving to make it there and the same to get back. Went last summer with a bunch of friends and it was the most fun I'd had in...almost ever. So I'm looking forward to it And I lost a huge ass knife up there last summer in a lake :S so I'm devising a plan to retrieve it this time with a big magnet xD

Oh! I totally forgot! Last week on tuesday I got a reply from lukems on Bungie.net concerning the emblem. Hehehe. EHEHEHEHE! It's been confirmed! I sent a pic of it via email and they matched it with the runner up 'Ben's. It's all good bebe

So ya. Sorry for all of the missed comments, I'm a little behind atm. And I'll be on a camping trip starting this friday with and until Sunday I think. So you guys get on my case if I'm still dead after that!

I'd have the actual thing put up here in my gallery but I did it on paper, lol, I couldn't get the sizing right >.> so I just said screw it, drew it, and sent it in.

In other news, lol. 's having a little contest type dealio. You're supposed to come up with a pirate version of yourself, and so if anyone's interested, visit her page for more details. More or less for bragging rights

Down to one day left of school. 2 more exams and I'm outta there x) I can't wait. I've also been making this huge ass desk for the last semester, and that should be done tomorrow, so I'll have to post a few pics of it. And speaking of pictures, that's probably my only option for Marcus. I'm gonna bring my camera in tomorrow and snap a few pics, cause I can't find him, I checked the entire classroom. So I'm gonna have to ask her if I can just take a pic >.> Oh well.

But yeah, enough for now, gotta do a little studying for tomorrow

But I have some kinda good news My art teacher's gone kinda crazy and is letting me work on my Marcus piece (which has already been well underway) for my exam. Lol, I'm happy cause this'll force me to finish it xD Otherwise I'd probably never get it done.

Yeah, still haven't gone and seen Pirates yet (that'll be tomorrow) My friends say that it rocks (like hardcore) and the ending leaves room for another one >_> I was kinda hoping it'd just be a trilogy. Cause usually if you drag something out like that it'll get lamerz and then sucks.

And I know this'll sound really funny, but I can't get any new avatars to work, lol I get em down to size, but then either it's all messed up looking and fuzzy or its too big a file cause I get it nice looking, lol. I'm still a major n00b when it comes to photoshop and all that stuff Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? lol

Anyways, you're supposed to be given a letter by the person you got this from, and then list about 10 things that you like that start with that letter. Sounded fun enough, so here we go.

10 Things I like That Start With The Letter "I"

1.) In Amber Clad - A ship in Halo 2. Heh, in fact this is where I got meh username from, lol. Geeky enough? Never.

2.) Infected - One of my favorite techno songs xD

3.) Indirect Fire - Another way of saying I like long range guns and means of opposition. Sniper rifles, artillery, missles. But that's only in some situations, not all

4.) Imperfect People - I don't like people that try to be perfect, it's disgusting.

5.) Illustrations - Graphite or colored pencil drawings are my favorite to check out.

6.) Illusionist - Actually there's supposed to be "The" in there too, but oh well. I thought it was a really good movie Better than the Prestige

7.) Ignorance - I like to throw a little in the mix from time to time xD

8.) Ignition - I like to press buttons that blow things up x) Pyro fo life!

9.) Incendiary Grenades - Who can say no to something that can melt through a truck engine like butter?

10.) Infiltrating - Always fun trying to penetrate the movie theater defenses with stashed pop and pizza. Never gets old, believe me

And that's it! So if anyone finds the urge to do this just ask meh for a letter and fire away


Bai for now!

But yeah, I've been pretty dead lately, so I'll address that first I guess xP

Uh, well, the last few weeks have been real busy. Been taking trips, cleaning, catching up in school for the home stretch, hosting LAN parties and staying up all night soley by the power of caffeine for a friend's birthday. Most of it = my fault, lol. But nonetheless I've been pretty well occupied and chances are that it'll stay that way till about 3 weeks from now So you probably won't see much from me other than comments. But once vacation hits I should be pumping stuff out like crazy.

Other than that, nothing. Cept sleep deprivation. I need sleep like a ferre...That just gave me an idea! Lol, well you might see little things from me after all Someone convinced me to do a anthro/fursona thingy type dealio and I've been killin myself over it cause I didn't know what to do, and I just figured it out >:3

Halo 3 emblem has been giving me trouble, but I've got something, so I'll be trying to finalize that too.

And. uh. crap...I'll have to get to 's thing later, I gotta run.

Lol, tonight's prom for us, so everything's been real hectic all day. And I'm having the first paintball fight of the season tomorrow, I'm hoping I'll get lucky and get a few hungover idiots come and get shot up (:< I'll try to get pics if I can.

Oh, dude, and I just found Marcus today! I forgot all about him D: He's about 75-80% complete, so if I can just get around to picking it up for once, I'll probably have it done in that sitting, but no timetable predictions, lol, cause we all know how accurate those are anyway

And Bungie (the creators of Halo) is holding an emblem contest. You have to come up with an orginal player emblem for Halo 3 multiplayer, send it to them, they choose the best one and the winner's emblem is put into the game. Lol, so I'm going for it. Not like I'l have much chance, but I'll have tried

And I'll be hitting 3k page views any day now, so that'll be another milestone for meh. Thank you, everyone who visits my page, you guys rock

Oh oh, and I almost forgot. Just to let everyone know, I've been uploading a lot of stuffs to my scraps lately. I wouldn't consider some of them to be too too bad, but they aren't my best, so I just throw everything that doesn't fit that category into meh scraps. So they aren't bad, they're just not what I consider good enough for my gallery. Just to let some of you know xP

So yeah, I'm pretty sure that's all I've got for now, lol.

http://Inamber.deviantart.com/journal/12709409/ Mon, 23 Apr 2007 19:10:23 PDT Just got back from a band concert, lol. Glad to have that behind me though.

Been working on a painting in my Art class. It's of Mister Chief xD Of course my teacher wasn't too happy when she found out what I was planning to paint (cause it's pretty simple), but I slid it by. Cause Mister Chief rocks like that. And I also needed to find something that I could actually finish within her timeframes, and I'm guessing this will meet them rather well I'll probably be done with it by the end of the week, but who knows how long it'll be before I can smuggle it home. I swear she keeps these things in a safe or something :S

Anyway, in other news that no one cares about. I think that one of my best friends that moved away is back o.O Kinda confusing and unsure situation. The confusing part is that he shouldn't really be here, and he didn't call me. The unsure part is wether he's really here or not, lol. You're probably saying "Well, just call him and ask, dummy!" but I think he's staying at his grandparent's old house that they're trying to sell, and since they moved out, there's no phone. No cell either :S "Well, just go knock on the door and ask." Simple answer: I don't have the balls to xD yet...Pshh, enough of that. It's irrelevant.

Annnnd, I can't really think of much else going on. So yeah. End of random update

Anyways, for the past week and a half I've been concentrating all of my attention on The Project. We've continued to make significant progress in that time and I now believe that we're on the brink of a breakthrough. Though despite how much I'd like to share everything with you guys, I can't. At least not until the final stages, and that's a long way away :S

But anyway, I got my tablet last weekend. The thing rocks! Cept I don't really have the coordination for it yet :S I'll have to practice a lot before I can start using it effectively.

And I've devised a crazy plan to raise money for a pimp computer in my room: I'm gonna be making picnic tables! xD Sounds crazy, yes, but I can make somewhere from $50-75 each table. And if you can beleive it, the demand for these things are insane! And the cool thing is, I live in a smaller area so I can get away with it I helped my dad make a few last summer and they're pretty easy to make. Only takes about an hour per table. I just gotta buy the bolt screws and boards in bulk, set up a couple jigs and I could pump out as many as I needed in record time! Oh yeah, I can hardly wait x)

But these things are big, sturdy tables. Not like anything you'd just go out and bu.....Why am I talking about this? Not like any of you guys live close by or anything and would buy em xD Though for the right price I could probably ship jk Enough with the picnic tables. I'll post a couple pics when I get underway

Oh yeah, randomish question. Which spelling of the name looks better: Wess or Wes? (short for Weston)

Next day we get a call from out neighbors saying that we got hit with a huge ass snowstorm. And when I say 'huge ass' I mean it. It went from no snow on the ground at all, to 2-3+ ft in pretty much one night. It went from near summer weather to a blizzard in one night! I can't stand it! And of course the plows weren't out so my road was packed and they said there was no way we were gonna make it So the plan was to drive back and stay at a hotel maybe 15 miles from our house, lol. But just as we got back into town the plows came barrelling down the hill. So we made it. Ohhh, but all that snow! D:<

Anyway, it's all good now, I've got a tablet on the way. Wacom Graphire 4 4x5 so that'll be awesome to have. And Marcus should be up today. If he's not, I've got a kind of filler piece that'll I'll slap up there. And that one's actually kinda cool, one of my fav's in a way

But anyway, that's pretty much it for now, lol.

Later!

And yeah, I'll be heading outta state for a day or so on wednesay, over to a mall over in Wisconsin. Then depending on how that goes, we might be heading down to lower michigan for the remainder of our break. Though I'm kinda hoping we don't, cause that'll kill my paintball season kickoff and fry my plans of doing a lot of drawing...But it's still up in the air as of now xP

Anyone else going anywhere?

I've also decided against photoshopping the Marcus Lineart until I've broken down and bought a tablet (which is hopefully gonna be soon), cause I tried with a mouse and it's damn hard, not to mention frustrating :S Besides, that's one piece that I want to see done halfway right, so I'll hold off for now, sorry :S But I am shading the original paper work with the usual pencil

But anyway, that's all I can remember for now

Later

But seriously, you guys rock, all of you. I don't think I take it as seriously as I should; having all of you around, giving me the oh-so-needed advice, comments and support. I just wanna thank you guys

But on another note, I think I'm outta my block. Atomic-Chocograph (man I need a shorter name for you xD), your strategy worked, I think. Of course I don't care for the things I drew so I'm not gonna post em, hehe. But thanks for the idea

Now all I have to do is get through this week I'll have Spring Break for the next week. I'll be sure to have a few things for then

But I gotta run. Talk laterz

But on another note, I went to see 300 last saturday. Hot damn, I love that movie. The story just facinates me. 300 Spartans against the entire Persian army of over a million and they kicked uber ass.

We just had a heat burst for a day or two this past week. We went from our normal 10-20 degrees to 60 in one day, it was crazy. Made me start thinking of spring. Spring = Painball and I love paintball, lol. But that got shot down yesterday. Looks like winter's still hanging around for a while longer. But that's expected around here I guess. Our winters sometimes last up until May. Lol, we've had snowdays around that time in the past

Pfft...Anyway, that's pretty much all I got for now. Talk to ya's laters

And as far as the schweet elite went, my teacher fired it before I could snap off a shot at school and, needless to say, it was blown into hundreds of pieces. I told her what would happen if she did...but no, no one ever listens to Ben So I'm sorry I didn't act sooner, I'll probably thow a quick sketch of it in my scraps too, sometime.

But yeah, on an entirely different note (and a rather random one) I plan to spend some down time on Live tomorrow night. So if anyone's up for a few games (or a few dozen) I'll be on Friday night. Lol, I have so few friends on there that I have to alert the ones I do have to be on, cuz I usually miss the party by a half hour

Anyways, I'm outta here for now.

Been using ceramics in my art class. Of course I'm attempting to make something Halo related (aka an Elite head ) And I'm 75% sure it's going to explode when fired, which is a nice thought considering I put blood, sweat and tears into the thing. Actually, just sweat, and only because it's hot in there sometimes. But it's actually something that I'm somewhat proud of. I'll have to take a picture of it before it goes to it's death in the kiln.

Anyway, I'll try to do some drawing this weekend but I'm leaning towards just snapping a few pics of things around meh house, cause you know, pictures tend to be easy to take. And I got photoshop (no clue how to use it :S) so maybe I can start...uh...coloring? Yeah, that's it.

Crap. Gotta run. I'll finish up soon, lol.

Anywho, since Silvac had a pretty tame one I guess I'll just pick up off that for now

Weird Things About You:

1.) I can't draw on desks. Well, not my best anyway. I have to be on the floor.
2.) No video games on chairs or couches either. I gotta be on the floor xD (cept with hardwood flooring, that killz after a while)
3.) I have a real bad dairy allergy (lol, sucks balls) that means no milk, no chocolate, no cheese, ice cream, etc. Otherwise I'm a gonner
4.) I love food, lol. I eat tons. Every day after school I eat close to a full bag of tostitos chips n' salsa. And believe me, that's the tip of the ice berg xP Funny thing is, I'm skinny, lol.
5.) I can't have any kind of sandwitches with cold meat in em. Gotta eat the bread and meat seperate xD


LOL. I'm done for now

I've had little time to draw over the past few weeks but I started on a little something last night. I'll finish and post it in the next day or so. God I need photoshop, I really don't like my gallery all black and white, it depresses me Though I suppose if I was desperate I could break out the mythical magic markers and wreck destruction on the land

Hehe, was just reading up on the upcomming 360 titles for 07. Mass Effect looks like its gonna rock, I've had my eye on that one from the beginning I've got a soft spot for Bioware, the KOTOR duo got me hooked to rpg's (cept for that horrible ending in KOTORII) And that legendary pack for Halo 3... Uberness. Now if I could only find a place to reserve the damn thing before it's too late. (thinks to himself: "Well, I've got a Sam Goody about 2 hours away...") Seriously, I live in the middle of nowhere. We used to have a Sam Goody 30 mins away but they closed up while I was waiting for my "reserved" 360 about a year ago. Since then I've been effectively cut off from the tangible gaming realm. The only weapon I have now is my razor sharp 56k dial up connection (though teh upgrade's on its way


Anyway, I'm outta here

You know, I thought I'd be sad when this day came, but now that it's here and I think about it, I think I'll laugh. *laughs his evil laugh of pain*

I'm upgrading to something uber. Don't know the exact speed, but it's 50x faster then what I've got now, and that spells fun to me! This means I can actually be active on Live. I've had a gamertag for months now but can only get on when I'm at a friends house. Now I'm free to pwn, hehe (more like get pwned, but it sounds cooler that way) The only problem is, is the package they have to send us takes a week to get here. So it'll be around a week till everything's all cool

Nothing much on other updates, other then to thank Silvac for photoshopping my SPI armor piece. (it'll rock )
Oh, and I finally downloaded that new H3 trailer, IT ROCKED! I've never seen so much uberness packed into 60 seconds. God that shield...

Anyway, I'm outta here. bai

Color and shade one of my existing pieces (or a new one if I decide to) with photoshop or something. Of course you'd get most of the credit, since coloring and shading in this case is key.

Now if you can't or don't feel like it, its nothing big. I've got a plan B

]]> ~Inamber http://Inamber.deviantart.com/journal/10997511/ http://Inamber.deviantart.com/journal/10997511/ Fri, 08 Dec 2006 17:00:38 PST But good news came up today. The people who we got him from said that Blaze's "sister" is breeding and would be happy to give us one of the pups. I'm pumped the "niece" or "nephew" of my bud. I'll never forget him

Anyway, yeah. Last few days have been really busy for me. Basketball practices and away games that were over an hour away. I was lucky if I made it home by 10, and I still had to try and finish my homework (and I rely heavily on sleep xD). But its all good, I'm pretty well on top of things now. Still haven't seen that commercial, I need to mooch off a friend to use their high speed connection. From this local I'm runnin- thats not the right word. -Crawling by on a 56k dial up xD

And I'm considering embarassing myself in Bungie's December art Gallery contest. I'll either try shooting for Ben's best Halo piece yet or I'll use one of my existing ones. I got time, but any feedback would be appreciate greatly

So I'm back up, sorry for the deadness, and I'm looking forward to checking out more of everyone's uber artwork

Anyway, finished Ghosts of Onyx like 5 days ago, the ending hit me like a rock that fell from...someplace very high up, lol. The Spartan III's did end up growing on me. And yeah I guess it wasn't their fault that they didn't live up to the Spartan II's, they rock in their own way
I have basketball starting up in a couple days so that'll kill most of my drawing time, but who knows. I'll probably find time

Thats it for now I guess, or at least everything I can remember. Talk to you guyz laterz

Just picked it up the other day and just started reading it yesterday. So far, its awesome but I have one thing to complain about: Spartan III's, so not cool. The new armor: so not kewl either. Get this, the armor is used for infiltration and covert stealth kinda things, guess what the abbreviated name for the armor is? SPI....can anyone say cheesy? But thankfully after reading the prologue most of my concerns were eased. Out of 300 spartan III's that were sent on an infiltration mission using the SPI armor, it sounds like only a handful survived. Hehe, MJOLNIR is where its at.

Anyways, enough ranting there. You watch, I'll probably end up loving this new SPI crap. I hated the mk. VI armor at first too

Anyway, school's going strong. Art class has been a royal pain in the ass. Way too much time spent on assignments that I swear I've done multiple times before. I've actually completed several new pieces but my art teacher is holding onto them for who knows how long : /

Yays! I'm finally at the final book of the New Jedi Order! This has to be my favorite series of all time xD I strongly recommend it to EVERY serious Star Wars fan. Its an excellent installment, rivaling the movies themselves in my opinion. Read em xP

Anyway, I might start posting a long line of concepts and sketches related to that project Momoch an I are working on soon, but nothing's for sure. They aren't anything too fancy, just rough sketches of original designs that I've come up with Hell, I dunno if you guys would care to have your dev watch list flooded with like 20 devs all at once xD

But other then that, I've been trying to do some of my own work at home, but its comming along signifcantly slower all thanks to my art teacher and her piles of repetitive waste assignments...Anyway, I guess thats all for now :S

I've been pretty busy over the course of the summer, taking multiple road trips and such. I've had to time to draw, just not always what I like (been devoting about 75% of my attention to a "special" project that me and :Momoch: have been working on). Wether you'll ever hear any more about this is debatable xp.

I'm being litterally overwhelmed with the piles of awesome work that everyone is turning out, it makes me feel so far behind and insignificant XD.

Finally got around to updating a few fav's that I forgot completely about (sorry about that) and I'll keep pumping our art as fast as I can. I'm tired of seeing a dead page here xp.

Anyway, I guess thats all for now.

I mean I can log on for about.....say a little over a minute before everything freezes and I gotta pull the plug. So if I'm lucky, I get to comment on on a few new awesome pics that everyone's comming up with. But yeah, thats all fine and dandy.
So I won't be posting any new pics for a while, or at least until I have our computer guy mosey on over here and give us a hand, but don't worry, I'll try to keep up with the comments, cause you guys deserve em', good ones I mean.
