I've thankfully somehow managed to knock out many of my core reqs in the... um, six years of college I've accrued, so thankfully my time at SCAD will be largely focused on art.

...

I think not living into the dorms cut my financial aid like in half... which is highly inappropriate. SCAD's not cheap, and I qualify for a good deal more federal money than I got. I think/hope it's due to the lateness of my acceptance to SCAD for this year, considering I had my FAFSA filed and sorted in like.. February.

As usual, I've been drawing, and (apparently) as usual I've kinda been too busy to do much scanning. Once I've got a minute I'll scan and upload. There's some fun stuff in my sketchbook, but as usual it's mostly pouty pretty people standing around in cool outfits.

I think for the next month I'm going to draw nothing but people being kicked in the head, for diversity's sake. Or maybe some beautiful, beautiful horse-mounted archers. Oh, Civ early game, you are so easily dominated by early strike immunity and bonuses to city offense.

In my dream, I was making a pizza delivery to basically a shed in the back of the music building of an old college, and I had a vague recollection of having a boss fight of some sort before this and having missed out on an awesome travel item (a stereo jetpack).
So I wander through the music hall, glance at some murals involving zombies and vampires and shit - except it's really not campy, they're very dark and sinister, for real.
I get to the office I'm delivering to, and there's a big guy in there napping on a mountain of Domino's delivery boxes and other food wrappers and boxes. I prod him with a miscellaneous long object I found in the room, and he wakes up with a start, yanking a knife out of god knows where. So I complete the delivery ($16.95, he ordered a medium specialty pizza) and his lab partner waddles out of a back room I didn't even notice - this guy's creepy tall, looks like he's been dead for years, and has a big tumor separating the lobes of his skull. The tumor was wearing a bright green wig, and either lobe had a fuchsia wig on it. He was also wearing dark glasses. Something about him looked generally familiar to me, and his nametag said "A. Hilter". You know, like the Monty Python sketch, except I wasn't even thinking about it and had no clue he could actually be Hitler or anything.

So is also there for some reason and points out to Hilter that I've been having some sinus issues lately, and he's a member of the pharmacology department so he's like "Oh, I'll see what I have. Let me see.... Native American, Irish, and Scottish descent?" (note - I'm mostly Scandinavian) says yeah, then leans over and is like "I guess this is for allergy purposes or something" since native americans are notorious for allergies that seem curious to white people. And I guess Scots hate medicine or something. Anyway. I said I was pretty sure this guy was Hitler, and Nito laughed at me and left.
So he gives me some cold medicine, which I was confident was poisoned cold medicine, and charges me... $16.95. Okay whatever. Then he asks me if I have any ammunition, and a transparent menu appears suddenly and a couple of menus switch, and I'm apparently carrying a rusty old rifle of some sort called "Daisy". And yeah, I could use more ammo.
So Hitler starts casting out some bullets for me, and he's talking to me about weaponry in general, mentioning that in his youth he was exposed to nuclear weaponry - and that's when he decided celebrity was the greatest weapon of all.
It's during this cutscene-esque moment that I distinctly check a thread about whatever it is I'm apparently playing at this very forum, and James Harvey is pointing out that he got the stereo jet pack for free right before an upcoming bossfight vs basically a leatherface heavy weapons guy so long as he didn't have an item called the Independence Paper.
And when Hitler's done talking to me and tapping out bullets for me (no charge) he gives me some reading, and I get the Independence Paper right then.
So I reload, do the bossfight, and then go through that entire sequence again, and right before I wake up I'm rocking out across the countryside in my fucking STEREO BOOMBOX JET PACK! It shot green fire out and played awesome music.

Other details I can recall about the "setting" of the "game" of the dream: there's some sort of post-apocalypse to it, except in this case the apocalyptic element is largely just the Silent Hill-ification of the world at large. I was pretty okay with that. I mean, I lived in a rusted-out place in Texas for a while (which I doubt my sister remembers). Also the world seemed wrapped up in this grandiose fast food war, between various corporate giants who somehow survived THE END OF THE WORLD to stay in business making food for survivors, who desperately needed Domino's.
Also the big guy I delivered to at the beginning of the dream had an American flag bandana, except it wasn't a small bandana - it was a full-size, full-scale flag. It was like a fucking cape.
I was wearing a blue canvas Domino's jacket overtop my apron of +good defense, and I think I had BDU bottoms and a standard domino's ballcap. I felt very faceless, though oddly much like the Mathblasters Super Solvers mascot character. [link]

and then i woke up and... ]]> ~sediment http://sediment.deviantart.com/journal/14773740/ http://sediment.deviantart.com/journal/14773740/ Mon, 24 Sep 2007 14:31:33 PDT

I don't know if anyone is even still watching me.

but, if anyone is, i'll probably have new material up here soon.

i'm working at domino's again. my only class this semester is calculus, due to some tuitionary bullshit and other stuff. i love it so far. i love math. i am 500% more phys/math nerd than i am artist, really.

we have many fewer pets than we did a long time ago. mostly cats now. still three dogs.

and i cannot, for the life of me, keep up with our lighting bill, even though our electrical use is at an alltime record low.

i just put new tires on my car and did some maintenance. looking forward to delivering tonight.

i was at dragon*con. if anyone saw a really crappy mad max lookalike with mirrored sunglasses and a handbag for his coat's shoulderpad, that was me. i was a leather jacket guy from fallout, actually. but mad max is pretty close. i can get pictures of the costume if anyone's curious.

I get this weird feeling lately that I missed a part of my youth. I've always been a bit of a hermit, right, yet when I was younger I was also an athlete, a prolific writer, a gamer, and an artist.

Right now I just study, draw, and play D&D.

and honestly I'm losing interest in a lot of this. I already hardly update compared to what I used to.
I might be done with D&D because of all the interpersonal bullshit and people playing characters specifically to see how the rest of the group feels about THEM.
I miss a lot of the people I gamed with in Georgia. We were all friends, playing to have fun. What happened to that? Here, it was like that - at first. How does it go from fun to backstabbing bullshittery?

I might be done drawing because, more or less, I just don't have time. I'm at a point where classes don't improve me technically much but yet, at the same time, an art major is almost a wasted life. I'm majoring in physics, mathematics, and some language eventually. My studies are beginning to occupy more and more of my time and on looking at my priorities it's pretty much 1. study 2. MJ and then everything else combines into a meaningless cesspool.

my social life of late has pretty much turned into "hey want to see a movie". on Saturday I sat around playing a card game of Munchkin with some friends. I liked that.

Except it got turned into an ZOMG YOU LEFT ME BEHIND WHAT THE SHIT WHY WAS I NOT THERE frenzy when I talked to someone else.

what the fuck.

i want to be able to go and have fun with my friends without having to bring my spleen and colon with me sometimes. i used to be able to do that.

on the bright side i'm an honors student and i rock at chemistry this semester. i also win at european history, and physics. psychology.. well, i was probably better with psychology back when i was a teenager prescribing lithium to my friends. ]]> ~sediment http://sediment.deviantart.com/journal/8676913/ http://sediment.deviantart.com/journal/8676913/ Thu, 04 May 2006 22:03:49 PDT
So I got a bunch of them done, but not all. More to come.

Anyway.

I started uploading to the tune of "Deviant ~sediment has 2,275 new messages ( 1414D, 20H, 30M, 11C, 747J, 53P ) " so, i'm basically marking all these as read.

Sorry.

If there's something you really, REALLY wanted me to see or read, please let me know by note or post here.

Oh-- I have to apologize. I know I keep saying I'll do it, and I will do it, but I've basically set it on the backburner. I'm expecting to use some of the... week? of free time I have after finals to finish Nx up and be done with it so you can finally stop holding your breath. Humblest apologies, I am the worst slacker I know. Too much physics and Mediterranean. Urgh.

I'm probably majoring in physics after I complete my AA in spring/summer 07. Go me, I get to go crazy and have a white man afro!

i've had a job at Traget as a cashier for a while, I think my status as seasonal employee may run out next Monday

meaning: either I'll be out of a job or I'll be in of a more serious job which I hate.

so: I recently talked to a guy works at a local tattoo parlour and that sounds awesome. So I'm going to try and get a job stabbing people (legally).

on art: yes I have been very bad. Been busy, and lazy, and also really busy. And pretty lazy. Haven't really drawn so much.

I'll be scanning stuff next week. Enjoy the IDs, I guess, they were some goofy test shots with my new camera.

GODDAMNIT I SWEAR I'LL FINISH NX JUST PLEASE STOP BEATING ME UP ABOUT IT GEEZ just kidding i admire your patience

i think i am going to go fall asleep for four hours, because i have to go to work the morning after they had me close the store. bastards, all of them.

Oh, I'm a fulltime student ca. Jan 9, 2006. Meaning more drawings. I draw in class, it's a fact.

fucking kids crying all over my checklanes all day gave me a migraine. EAT BABY.

parents, if your child cries, eat it then and there. the world, god, and most importantly I and Raptor Jesus will heap accolades upon thee.

been playing City of Villains. I have a stalker (Danach) on Virtue (level 27.72) and did the first respec trial this morning, it was badass. The Blackwand > your mother. Stolen SMG < your mother. Stolen Sky Raider Jetpack >>>>>>> Holiday pack. I also have a corrupter (Lasers Go Pew-Pew, level 17) and a brute (Proto-Clown, level 2) and a mastermind (Gules, level 10). Send me a tell if you want A) to chill B) to chat C) to team D) to stomp my ass as a hero character E) to die at my feet as a hero character F) awesome.

I'm not dead yet, mere cows cannot kill me. Oh yeah, I guess I didn't post that here - I had a car accident with a couple cows in November. I won. My car still got repo'd due to damage tho. I got a new one. Might deliver tattooed pizzas, lol. Currently looking for cow decals to put on left fender of my new car, which is both nicer and crappier than my old car. Nicer in that it has better gas mileage and is a Civic, thus automatic mandatory bling as that is how i ROLL, motherfuckers. Crappier in that it lacks power windows, locks, cruise control, and currently bling. But bling will come, as i am a mushroom cloud laying motherfucker, motherfuckers.

If you can't find my car, it's the one that says "bad-ass motherfucker" on it.

SNAKES ON A PLANE, BITCH! SNAKES! ON A MOTHERFUCKIN PLANE!

to - i've tried drawing Deadbolt Nx but no success so far. fear not, thy will be done.

nothing new scanned yet. our network doesn't have folder sharing or any of that active (for some reason, i haven't been able to figure it out) so in order to post things I'd have to jump through, uh, one more hoop than I used to (and it's still summer, so I haven't really wanted to).

Since... uh, occasionally, my journal posts include news of my offline gaming travails, current affairs:

is/will be running an underdark campaign, city of the spider queen, wherein I will play the indominable Mr. White, in disguise as a drow female and/or male depending on the situation. I'll scan these disguises soonishesque.

I am currently running a V:tM Sabbat game. I've been very lackadaisical with keeping track of peoples' blood and temporary willpower, but that's not such a big deal since they gorge themselves periodically and mostly use disciplines that don't cost much, blood-or-willpower-wise. I've also maybe been a little occult-heavy in this, but recently decided to spice it up with fomor ninja ghouls. I should've made them strippers, too. just a couple thoughts.. once I wrap that up I'll either be running a game of d20 modern online, or a game of Mage (or possibly Mummy - though I doubt that).

I have... eight days to be admitted to and register classes for a local community college, Kirkwood. I'll be paying out-of-state tuition, but it won't be all that bad - just a couple of classes, tops, to maintain my status as "student" for the semester. That way I can work through the semester, too, and hopefully not go insane (well, grow more insane than what already grips me).

my wrists have been hurting a lot lately. If it weren't for my car and my already-existing resignation to future arthritis I'd look into some carpal release... at a local military medical facility, since the university hospital charged me nearly $300 for a checkup into a really nasty hacking cough I had. And I didn't even really want to go, lol.

I've done [i]some[/i] drawing lately but not a lot worth reporting. I might submit some stuff to-morrow, if I do I'll make it yellow.
Because, well... I may not be as strong an opponent of the entire jark affair as some, but I still feel it important the community speak out.
Also, these hot topics by the new guy are really fucking annoying. that's just me though.

oh, also, F.E.A.R.'S DEMO IS FUCKING FANTASTIC FGSFDS I MUST PLAY THIS GAME WHEN IT GOES RELEASE DSAKLFGH;LHGF;LALJ;JLDAFHAH;HHDG AND THE BEST PART IS I DON'T LIKE SHOOTERS AHDFH;A

has commissioned me to perform a great work of awesome that i will not describe in any way other than to say that it is in fact going to be awesome when i am done with it okay!

Incidentally, this is the official word that I'm open for commissions. (for a while, at least.) I reserve the right to shoot you down if the subject seems boring though.

Rates are open to negotiation, but by comparison to a number of other artists, I like to think (pretend?) that I work fairly cheap.

ADDITIONALLY I AM OFFERING FREE GIFTART TO THE 4,396TH PAGEVIEW. GET A SCREENSHOT, KEEP THURM EYES OPEN. unlike commissions, i'll draw whatever you want. i can only beg you for it to be not-boring. like i said, if it has a good description and seems pretty clever, chances are it's a-ok.

sadly, there is very little i can wreak, havoc-wise, due to the handful of new features. some of these are pretty cool though, mostly the pollability and the shoutboard.

current life issues: my debit card went invalid recently. today a man is coming to repair the washing machine, then i can finally shower (i feel so gross, you have no idea). once he has done this, i am going somewhere to activate my new debit card, which arrived yesterday, making a withdrawal at a friendly atm, and purchasing some fast food as it has been some two weeks since i have eaten anything but popcorn, ramen, or spaghettios. also, cat food. also, pants.
my car's transmission exploded recently. It has been repaired for about a week, but as I had no functioning card, I could not retrieve it.
Sadly, I cannot do so even now, as one of my roommates (Not MJ or her sister) vanished three days ago, said she'd bring home some cat food, and never returned. She's alright, if TOTALLY FUCKING UNRELIABLE. OH MY SHIT I AM NEVER ASKING HER TO DO ANYTHING EVER AGAIN. SERIOUSLY.
also i have a feeling this boogeyman movie she brought home from work is overdue. also, it was kinda bad, don't bother watching it. the only remotely neat aspect of the film is that it's kinda like watching someone play Alone In The Dark for a while.

as a side-poll, since 10 poll options isn't that hot, please append to any comments your favourite of my existing deviations. If you have no favourite, then please indicate a style or medium that I seem to work better in than others. If you simply don't want to, please append your favourite human organ. It can be any organ, though I suspect I'll be having a few genitals thrown at me (provided this recieves comments)

maybe then i'd be so full of beer i wouldn't really care about anything.

i saw a truck with a sticker on its rooftop bed cover on campus last week, sticker said "THINK ABOUT WHIRLED PEAS", it was green.
other side had an orange one - "THINK ABOUT GRILLED CHEESE."

that tickled my entire month up til about monday morning, when i got stuck behind a gypsy caravan of moving lorries - with their brand names painted over. i was like "no, this isn't shifty as fuck - we're doing perfectly legal things here, with our six trucks of questionable origin".

later that same day, it happened again - with six completely different trucks, again with their brand names stripped from them. all going really slow too, like they were gonna fly under police radar if they didn't do anything suspicious.

i think i'm gonna fail english, for like the fourth time. having to write literary analyses depresses me, especially when the topic is assigned. i swear to hell, i don't mind the required reading or tests concerning the reading and vocabulary - that's no big deal. i haven't cracked a dictionary yet and my professor's all "HOW do you KNOW some of these WORDS" but when it comes to analysing themes used in fucking Oedipus Rex I have some serious issues - first, because we're analysing a play that is potentially-faulty translation of a copy of the original, and second because JESUS CHRIST A BLIND MONKEY COULD FINGER THE FOIL FOR SR. SWOLLENFOOT.

dude that teaches the course is almost a carbon copy of the bald principal/teacher guy from back to the future, which is creepy.
funny guy though, he quoted the Scorpions or Def Leppard (whoever did Rock of Ages - I'm thinking it was Def Leppard, but correct me if i'm wrong pls thx) in the middle of one of his monologues on theology and apparently I'm the only one eighties enough to get it.

However, those of you watching, please do mention if you think a particular drawing is improved over the works shown pre-nov-26-2004 or if you feel it's a step backwards, input is always sexy.

I'm dazzled.

I promised I'd doodle up something vaguely gay of Pietr and Danach, need to get around to that. Been working on some cute new artsy tricks, including subtle changes to the way I lay out the masculine physique and a sort of cartoonier style that's fairly evident in the dapper cakes and lip strap.

my room smells like sharpies, it's very pungent and heady. kind of makes me feel like... singing and dancing and possibly getting more exercise. since.. i started an exercise routine recently and am slowly working my way up to 60 pushups and however many crunches i can muster by that time, at which point i'll start anew but with weight stressing me as i toil. a bag full of D& D books offers a surprising amount to muscle development, I find.

Although, I think the position of my backpack during crunches exercises a different muscle group than just a straight crunch does - did 40 crunches with the aforementioned sackload of books (about ten or twelve books total, probably exceeding 50 pounds) and three days later could hardly do four with the same load, so. I am not afraid to admit books kicked my ass pretty hardcore, and I liked it.

on Gaia and I have a little store going. I'm not doing very good at keeping up with it, but that's mostly because I swore to work in straight photoshop on everything they give me, and..

well, honestly, I'm no good at photoshop. I think overall I'll be letting it play second-fiddle to paintshoppro and stick to pencils/pens and a highly minimal colouring style, since that'd seem to work well for me.

I need to invest in a set of watercolours and some india ink and play around with them, since the watercolour/india styles really make me happy in the pants.

I'm still available for commission, if anyone's interested. I'd rather work for skraight dollaz than gaia gold, but if you're on gaia then you probably found your way here through gaia and thus would've seen the link to my shop. If not, then [link]

i think i'm agoraphobic or something, because unless i have someone with me or it's a really quick and simple, totally impersonal trip like ordering food or something, i get so tremendously nervous it's absurd.

especially times like now, when i haven't slept in two days. i get really emotional when i'm tired.

i'm definitely getting a prints account, maybe then i could actually sell some stuff.

commissions are quite welcome, especially since i've been bored and uncreative lately.

current commission status:
: still working on the pencils. i shouldn't be having so much trouble with this.

current gift status:
gets two spiritfolk whenever i get over this bizarre allergy to pencils.
gets... whatever. hasn't specified yet. ]]> ~sediment http://sediment.deviantart.com/journal/3462364/ http://sediment.deviantart.com/journal/3462364/ Mon, 27 Sep 2004 22:56:34 PDT

remember, whomever gets 2317 pageviews gets giftart from me. take a screenshot or something.

TAKE NOTE, MORTALS:

i will be at 's fortress of solitude starting tomorrow and ending on tuesday september 7th.

this means that if you have anything i really need to know, you should probably tell her or something. or drop me a line here and i'll get back to you in a couple of weeks or whatever.

if 2317 is reached and I'm not back yet, say so here. pls. thx. if you get a number close to 2317, whether it be below or above, let me know also - if it's within like 5, and nobody reports actually getting 2317, i'll give you the kigib& or whatever the trendy kids are calling it.

I don't actually speak Latin, so I know this is horribly butchered and probably conveys the idea wrong. It's... GENERALLY correct though.

Anyone with any background in Latin feel like setting me straight? Because I'd love that. ]]> ~sediment http://sediment.deviantart.com/journal/3134129/ http://sediment.deviantart.com/journal/3134129/ Sun, 15 Aug 2004 18:39:34 PDT
The milmet is always minted with the imperial seal of Savras on one side and the current emperor on the other – Savrasian historians often use this as a point of fact – “If the books say someone was an emperor, and we find no coin with him on it, we have no reason to believe he ever existed.” Before the trade agreement with Rhendali, the milmet was the most commonly-used coin in Khe’tral (considering the Empire occupies fully half of the mainland). The farthing is just as big as the milmet, but minted of copper. One milmet is worth 32 farthings.
The milmet and farthing occupy sort of a special role in Khe’tral in light of the trade agreement: the cresceta is viewed by most as most in other realms view platinum coin. If you pay for your meal in cresceta, you just might be burgled in the night. Pay for your meal in farthings or milmets, and any nice clothes are probably for show. (In other words, the farthing is the truest coin of the lower class; the milmet is probably the most valuable coin they’ll ever touch. While the cresceta is “official” the milmet and farthing still see circulation, because frankly they’re necessary.. most citizens just aren’t rich enough for the official coin of the realms.)

The thaler is the “coin” of Low Yhel, a reflective green wafer roughly the size of a credit card. Its only distinctive markings are two holes in the centre, unless it’s a “point” thaler. “Point” thalers are higher orders of the thaler currency; each “point” is a silver “squiggle” placed on one face of the wafer. While no-point thalers are green on both sides, point thalers have an officiating seal on the side opposite the points. As before mentioned, one four-point thaler equals 20 cresceta or 8 three-point thalers. One three-point thaler equals two cresceta and one ha’cres, or 8 two-point thalers. One two-point thaler equals three milmet and 24 farthings, or 8 one-point thalers. One one-point thaler equals 15 farthings, or 8 no-points. The government of Low Yhel resisted the change as they felt the new currencies were not as efficient as their own system (in which one four-point equals four thousand ninety-six no-points). The holes, by the way, exist so that shalerai traders may carry them on pre-readied cords of 8.

Smaller traders typically do not accept government-sealed bank notes worth grotesquely high amounts of money – the minimum amount to mandate such a bank note is 50 cresceta above ground, or 32 four-points in Low Yhel. These are best changed-in at trading houses of some import, and are typically used in the purchase of mansions, ships, or very valuable courtesans.

Merchants usually follow the Avoirdupois weight measure (16 drams to an ounce, 16 ounces to a pound, 100 pounds to a hundredweight, 20 cwt to a ton, 2.24 tonnes to a long ton) though apothecaries toss a couple, smaller measures in there (20 grains to a scruple, 3 scruples to a dram). Common folk, on the other hand, don’t give a whit as they rarely need to measure anything out in less than an ounce." ]]> ~sediment http://sediment.deviantart.com/journal/3076452/ http://sediment.deviantart.com/journal/3076452/ Sun, 08 Aug 2004 18:34:33 PDT

i can't even describe how tired i've been. and to top that off i'm pretty sure i have carpal tunnel and my wrists have been really, really bad lately. one of the tendons in my left wrist has a tendency to 'slide' off of the bones there. i should see a doctor.

i'm having a lot of philosophical issues with my sense of self lately. never felt more detached from reality, never felt less like a person, never felt more like a figment of someone else's imagination. it's like i'm part of a game and it's really hurting my ability to enjoy life.

my not being able to remember anything with any degree of clarity (even certain traumatic events that i won't relate here) doesn't help things either. at least now i know how dramatic movie flashbacks should be distorted. none of that rippley watery shit, nosir.

feelings that i'll never truly excel at anything i'm good at (i bet you didn't know i'm a writer, and a musician, and a sculptor, and a former athlete, and a hardcore gamer-type as well as trivia magnet) are further propagating in light of my artistic ability stagnating and feeling a lack of need to make music in light of musicians i've been listening to recently - when the sounds in my head are no longer my own, what then? and writing, why would anyone read what i have to write when there's Salvatore, Lewis, Goodkind, et cetera?

all of the above have contributed to a general sense of despondence that has slowly been building in me over the last few years.

i'm hoping once everyone comes home and i don't have to take care of absolutely everything things will get better.

oh yeah, a brief friends list, since i haven't gotten around to one yet:

<-- la suprema. i don't think she realises just how much i adore her.

<-- good friends, good artists all around (and even if you say you're not i'm going to slap you until you accept it)

for the love of god, commission me! I'd love to make money by doing what I love, and people tell me they like my art, so unless such statements are VICIOUS AND HOLLOW I'm sure someone SOMEWHERE would love to pay me a paltry sum for me to drool and scribble on a piece of paper and mail it to them. And/or CG it, gift them with the original pencils, a floppy copy of the CG (with a terribly huge .PSD or .PSP of the full undistorted image, layers and all), et cetera.

If the price is rizzight I might even be convinced to try and make clothing for you. Please. I like money.

this is, of course, partially to get my name out there some, to supplement my (nonexistant) income, and to have something to do with myself. Since, you know, I have entirely too much time on my hands and there's only so much porn in the world.

Ha ha, I might be kidding. dear god GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DO. ]]> ~sediment http://sediment.deviantart.com/journal/2484151/ http://sediment.deviantart.com/journal/2484151/ Sat, 22 May 2004 13:43:09 PDT
Going to be working on Waga stuff and Ender fragments side-by-side. Hopefully I'll be able to make enough money off of commissions soon that I won't have to get a real job until I get back from visiting and since, you know, visiting them in the middle of work season would be tres lame.

I need some sort of automated money machine that just.. gives me money. yes. that would be fantastic and magical, and would contribute to my never doing anything again.

i've been too lazy to scan anything recent. sorry. lots of waking realm shit going down. I need a helmet and a kalashnikov, STAT.

I suppose, since this is an actual journal entry, I should set a view number for jujuwikkaban or whatever you people call it. uh, my thousandth viewer gets a free drawing of a pair of socks or something, a request, that sort of thing. hurry, kiddies, visit me as many times as humanly possible so you can be the first on your block to submit something totally bizarre and unexpected.

a couple of rules:

1. you dictate the medium, so long as it's flat. yes, I can sculpt, no I don't have a camera, so expect nothing that you can see sunlight bouncing off of.

2. fuck, i forgot my other one. oh, yeah. i don't work too quickly, my inspiration comes in sporadic bursts - this is why i said 'bizarre and unexpected': i work best when you say something totally off-the-wall-fucked-up-shit-ass-whoah, like "i expect you to have for me within a fortnight a picture of a washing machine consuming the souls of godzilla and jogurt the hamster (of shining force infamy)! make sure jogurt levels up as a result so he can lose his one hit point and thus die if anyone breathes at him sideways! GARRRRR"

sort of thing tells me "jesus damn I need a pencil, I must throw this applesauce onto the nearest wall and begin COMPOSITION AAAAAAA"

so yes. my one and only final exam this semestre is to-morrow, study time. might have some new art by the weekend (ha ha, right) ]]> ~sediment
