Morons in my class

Again, warning of this being a repost.

Today, in one of my university classes, I was sitting next to this guy. He had a laptop and he was very distracting. And I don't mean him personaly. It's more what he was doing on that laptop. Don't wory, it wasn't porn or anything... He was just playing video games. That would have been fine, if! If that moron wasn't playing some of my favourite games... One was Mount&Blade. The second was the new Devil May Cry game - DMC Devil May Cry. 

 And like I said. It was very distracting! I kept glancing at his screen and I was imagining the way I would play it. And what I would do different... And I kept comparing his version of Mount&Blade with mine. It was different. And I'm not sure which I like better... And his was in english. I have mine in czech. Maybe one day, I get myself the expansions, because I'm sure that is what he had. As for the DMC, let's say... I think I can do better than him. He was slow. Some of the moves, I don't know. Either he was playing it for the first time, or he's like really lame! By no means do I consider myself an expert, but I'm pretty good at it. Not the best, far from that, but I'd like to think I'm at least a little bit above average.

See ya.

Kenshin Himura

This picture is just a mere sketch done in light blue pen, but I kinda like it. It was drawn without knowing what it is, but when I realized, I decided not to scratch it, and kept it. And now I'm posting it here. 

 It has been a while since I watched the anime, but I have to say I enjoyed it. Like, I'm not really into historical anime, but this one was good. So... I watched. Also, I hope you like the picture at least a little bit. And it would be nice if you left a coment. :)

Legend of Drizzt IV

Hey, just today I finished the fourth book in the Legend of Drizzt series. I'm not sure if it has any other general name... Well, the book was very good. Starting with an attack of the barbarian clans and Arak Kessel finding the Crenshinibon. Then with Akar preparing an army and Drizzt and Wulfgar the barbarian going to slay a horde of verbegs. The final part is the best though. It is another battle of the ten cities (what's the name in english?) and this time the barbarians and the inhabitans of the cities are fighting together. And are joined by the dwarves as well. 

 The hardest battle falls on Drizzt though. His Guen being the only one who can find the door to Crystal-Thirid (Wanted to write Minas Thirid...). I suck at this... I just can't find the right words to describe it in english... I did it in czech... (Missing the last part) But hey, at least I won't spoil it for you that much... Because, all in all, the book is great. I do suggest you read the previous books first though. It does kinda connect... And you would be a bit lost if you didn't.

 Should have probably picked a cover that is in english, right? Well guess what? I'm not changing it.

A new handbag

Today, I was visiting my sick grandmother. Surprisingly, I thought I would get bored soon, I didn't. Yes, I admit, that my book probably helped, but maybe it was because we took her outside. And the fresh air worked its magic. But this is not the point of this post. The post is about what happened next. 

 Me and my mom went to Vaňkovka, which is a shopping center. Mom promised me she would buy me a handbag. Supposedly for my birthday which is october first. Well, she did buy me the handbag, but I have it already. We didn't wait for birthday. So I was thinking I would add a photo of it, but I found out that the battery of my camera was dead. 

 It's now charging and as soon as it is done, I will add a photo of the handbag to this post. The handbag is dark blue and I'm very happy with it. It's big enough for me to put all my schoolbooks in as well as the book I'm currently reading. So, even though I originally wanted black one, I'm very happy with the result. 

See ya.

Digital Chikorita

I believe I promised you a digital picture. Well, here it is. It's Chikorita from Pokemon. Originaly, it was a much bigger picture, but I cut off the edges as it was kinda empty. And I think that it lookes much better this way. It was done in Photoshop CS 3 and I admit to using a refference. As I don't really remember the anatomy of pokemon. 

 It is one of my better digital works. I have a few more, some of them good, some of them bad. And I think I'll have to do more of 'em. I just can't seem to find the right motivation... So if you want to push me into it, feel free to do so. :)

See ya.

Ash from Pokemon

This was originaly done as a request for a girl whose nick is Amely. The request was on my czech page. I decided to use crayons to do this as it is quite a simple picture. Though now, that I'm looking at it, I should have probably done the lineart thicker. Oh well... Too little too late. Never mind, it still looks good. At least I think it does. And it would be nice to know what you're thinking. :) Oh, and next time I give you a picture, it will be a digitally done one. xD

See ya.

Antisocial

In answer to the Daily prompt, I decided to write this. First of, I'm an antisocial person and I prefer to be alone in most cases. And I hate speaking in front of a large group of people with passion! It's not like I'm nervous about it and I can do it, if I have to, I just don't like it, and I definitely don't enjoy it. Never did, never will. And that's why whenever I have a choice to speak in front of people or to write an essay or something different, I never pick the speaking. 

 On the other hand, I don't mind it if it is in front of only a few people. Or if I know the people really well. Like, not a classmate level of knowing, but a close friend level of knowing. I don't think I'm shy, only antisocial and preferring solitude. Most of the time. Also, by being a loner, and not talking much, I learn a lot about the people around me. And I believe that knowledge is power therefore, I'm happy with this settings. I've got no problem with talking to people, but I prefer to stay silent.

See ya.

R. A. Salvatore: Legend of Drizzt - Streams of Silver

Hi,

I'm reading another book from the Legend of Drizzt series. This one is called Streams of Silver and it is fifth in the series. I'm more than half way through and even though I haven't finished it yet, I decided to start writing this post while still reading. There are several points of view and plot lines and that needs more attention and taht's why I'm starting while still reading.

The story starts with our four friends heading towards Luskan. You asking who the friends are? Well, there's Bruenor Battlehammer (Warhammer would have been better...), then the young barbar Wulfgar, halfling Regis, who originally wasn't planning on joining them on their quest and last is the main character of this series – the drow Drizzt Do'Urden. Their goal on this journey is to find the legendary Halls of Mithril (is that right? I'm not sure about the original names as I have it in czech), the original home of Bruenor.

Their first stop is Lusnak where they need to find Whisper (again, is that what she's called in the original?) in order to obtain a map of the lands they will be travelling. While Drizzt and Bruenor are going for the map, Wulfgar and Regis get caught in a pub brawl with Wulfgar being the sole victor.

Now, here we need to skip to a different plotline. And that would be Artemis Entreri. An assassin hired by Pook to kill Regis. He is following them and while in the Ten Towns, he finds Catti. And when he leaves her alive, she decides to follow him and possibly even be faster then him in order to warn Bruenor and the others. However, she is caught by him and forced to go with him. When they reach Luskan, Bruenor and his group are already gone. That is not stopping them though. Confronted by the wizards – mainly Dendybar (what's his original last name?). He wants to know where is the crystal that Akar Kessel from the last book used to control all the minions.

And so Entreri joins forces with the wizard and is acompanied on the next part of his journy by Sydeny, a young witch, Jierdan, a soldier and Bok, who is a golem controled by Dendybar and Sydney.

Now, let's go back to Bruenor and the others. They reach the home of the Harpels after fighting with barbars from that part of the world. The Harpels invite them to stay and are eager to interrogate Drizzt on his race. Then they go on their way again. This time in the direction of Nesme and then Silvermoon (is that how the city is called?). In the land controled by Nesme, they are however confronted by soldiers and forced to go a different way through the swamps full of trolls? Yes, it was trolls.

With a lot of luck, they manage to fight their way through and reach the outskrits of Silvermoon. There, Drizzt is denied entrance and so the others refuse to enter without him. They camp outside and later on, Drizzt is visited by Alustriel, the lady of Silvermoon. She gives him some pretty good advice and then they continue on their way.

Going back to Entreri and his group. On magical horses, they reached Silvermoon and decided to wait for Drizzt and co. inside the city. Leaving Bok outside. However, Bok catches a whif of Drizzt and barges in the town destroying the walls in the process. The wizards from Silvermoon are fascinated by the golem and want to study it. And Sydney grudgingly allowes it under the condition they won't dismantle it. In any way.

Drizzt and co. in the meantime reach an old fortress where a very old man lives. He gives them advice and then Bruenor drinks a potion that will let the memories of the Mithrill halls surfice. And with this they are able to continue on their journey.

Reaching the mountains they find an old dwarven dwelling. One, that is special, because it's above ground. Then, it only takes a little more to reach the entrance to the Halls. Unfortunately, their hunters are very close.

At this point, Entreri and his group are in the mountains as well. And with some luck, Catti manages to escape. Also, Entreri finally gets bored with Jierdan and when the soldier confronts the assassin, Entreri killes him. In the meantime, Catti hits Sydney and runs off. When Bok is sent after her, she traps him with and avalanche thus managing to get away from her captors and reaching Bruenor and his group.

Then, Bruenor's group finally manages to open the secret door to the Halls and all of them enter. Going through the halls, they finally figure out what drowe the dwarfs out. It was the duregars. The underground version of dwarfs.

And this is as far as I'm so far. I will continue this when I finish the last part of the book. Only one thing to add, when Sydney and Entreri find the placement of the entrance, they have Bok break through thus entering the halls too.  

Okay, I finished the book, so we can continue this.

Okay, so they're in the Halls of Mithril. Now, they need to go through. However, they are not the only ones in and certainly not the only ones that entered. First, the Halls are controled by this nasty mean black dragon, whose original name I don't know.

Then, Entreri, Sydney and Bok entered the Halls after our heroes. Why Bok? Well, he simply survived the avalanche. Simple as that. Okay, moving on. They get to this weird hall where there are two hallways blocked each by ten doors leading in. And that is where they are caught by their pursuerers (spelling?).

So they battle. And in the process, Drizzt and Entreri manage to launch a trap of sorts and both fall through the floor. The rest split and Bruenor and his group continue thinking that Drizzt is dead. What is Sydney doing is not important.

Meanwhile. Drizzt and Entreri agree on something – they have to get out. And their best chance is to join forces. So they walk and walk and in the end, they reach a place where the others are.

The others are walking through the hallways and enter a place that is ruined and has a hole in the wall and that is when Bruenor tells them about the dragon. And that is where they find a magical bow and arrows.

In the end, they have to fight the dragon head on. And Drizzt is tricked by Entreri who pulls him down and he himself manages to climb a cliff only to capture Regis. Thus making Drizzt swear he will find him and kill him.

All the while, Bruenor did something very stupid. Using oil, fire and a lot of luck, he jumped on the dragon and lit it on fire. Only to fall down the pit with it. Making his friends believe that he's dead. Even though he's not. And then, they all leave the place returning to the Harpels. There, Drizzt and Wulfgar decide they will hunt Entreri while Catti wants to reclaim the Halls of Mithril in Bruenor's stead, not knowing he's alive.

As for Sydney, she was killed sometime during the battle. As well as was Bok.

Now, only one last part. The one with Dendybar. Let's say, he's dead. Killed by his own creation possesed by his "greatest" enemy.

Okay, that's it. That's the book. And I have to say, I was reading very fast, wanting to know what will happen next. Today, I took it back to the library and borrowed another one in the series. It will have to wait though. I'm reading... *runs to check the original name*

Got it. The Charlemagne Pursuit from the series with Cotton Malone. Not bad, also, I've got another Cherub book. Though that one will be last. First Charlemagne, then Drizzt, and finaly, last will be the Cherub book.

If you know this book, tell me, what you think about it. If you don't know it, just tell me something else. xD

See ya.

Simply the best

I just couldn't resist today's Daily Prompt.

For starters, I know nothing about the voyager. I didn't even know that NASA was building one. But that's beside the point. As for what I think should be onboard, let's say... Some cybermonkeys, highly inteligent pigs, white ferrets and an elephant. Why? No idea. Probably because it sounds good.

Where this idea came from, I have no clue. I just wanted to turn this into something cracky. I think I'm doing a good job. Whatever. Now, lets see. The elephant would be the captain on the ship. The ferrets would be taking care of maintnance of the ship. The cybermonkeys would obviously pilot it and take care of everything that comes with it. And the pigs would be in charge of meals and cleaning. Oh, and one of the pigs would be named TonTon.

Heh, I'm getting of topic. Whatever.

Just don't take this seriously. I just wanted to write something that would make no sense. Thanks for reading.

See ya.

Leon Oswald

This picture is a bit older, but I really like how it turned out. Originally it was only black and white pencils sketch. And I still have that one too, only not scanned in my laptop. I copied the original sketch and then I used my colored pencils to try and make something out of it. And I think I did a good job. It might not be perfect, definitely not perfect, but it's good. I like his nose. And I'm not sure how I did that so it looks good... Also the eyebrows, I seem to have a problem with drawing those, but this time, they turned out good. 

 Overall, I'm happy with this picture. Oh, and to add more about the character, it's Leon Oswald from Kaleido Star, sometimes reffered to as Kaleido Stage. He's my favourite character from this anime and it's a shame he's only in the second season. Still, he's good. So, that's it. Hope you like it and I'd appreciate coments, if you will. :)

See ya.

They are nice players too

Hi,

I was playing Wings of Destiny today. Only a moment ago, actually. And there was this guy, his name is srg2 or something. And he was nice. We got to talking and he even got me a nice piece of equipment. To be honest, it's the first time in an international mmorpg that I encountered such a nice player. I seem to have bad luck and always encounter those Player killers.

And that's so not cool! In the past, I was killed so many times! Annoying. But this evening, luck smiled at me and this player was really nice. Maybe I'll even stop playing completely solo... It might be nice to team up with someone from time to time. I probably won't do it often, but yes, sounds nice. Every once in a while.

See ya.

Oblivion

Or maybe I should say The Elder Scrol IV as that would be the name. A game, I recently reinstalled and started playing again, even though I allready finished about two years back. Or more. I don't remember. The game is good though. It's an RPG set in a fantasy world. And that's the kind of games I like. The basic story is that you have to find a way to defeat a boss, that's in a different plain of existence. Secondary goal is to protect the heir to the throne. There are also a lot of side quests and when done correctly, they give quite a lot of stuff. I'd go into the details, but where would the fun be in that? 

 I will tell you two things though. One, if you're infected with vampirism, go and pray in church. Unless you want to become a vampire yourself. I did once and it's a pain! Because you cannot exist in the sunlight and timing of the traveling is not possible. And there aren't always houses nearby that you can hide in. Two. Don't start magic guild unles you completed the brotherhood and the thiev's guild. Or the magic guild will kick you out and I haven't been able to reenter it, cause the quest to do so is a pain... So this way, you will save yourself some trouble. 

 And that's about it. If you played the game, I'd be interested to read about your experience. If you didn't, I'd like to know, what you think from reading this. I know it isn't much, but I'm no good in describing games. At least not without giving up the whole plot line... And I don't want to do that. Also, if you can find a way to move the mouse cursor faster, let me know! I've been trying to find a way, but it appears there isn't one. 

See ya.

One Piece

This is currently one of my favourite animes. It has over 600 episodes and is still ongoing. At first, I was watching it with english dubbing. Then, I got to the point that there were no more dubbed episodes, yet. So I was wondering whether I should continue watching with eng. subtitles, or if I should wait. In the end, I got tired of waiting and started watching with subs. I did skip a few episodes. The part with the missing flags, I've got no idea what that's about. I also did skip parts of the battle with Moria.

Oh, and I did skip Ace's death. That was cruel! He was one of my favourite characters!

Moving on. The plotline is quite simple – Luffy, he wants to be the King of the Pirates. So he stes out on the sea and searches for a crew. First, Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro get's roped into joining. Thus becoming the first mate. Then, Luffy decides that a girl named Nami will be the navigator. And practically forces her to join. The next on the list is Usopp who they happen across by chance. He's a great sniper and has a good aim. He joins too.

And then, Luffy wants a cook. So they go to Baratie, a restaurant, where he ropes Sanji to join. And after spending some time at the restaurant, he does.

Next part would be defeating one of the shichibukai – Arlong. And after that, Nami joins the crew for real, having finally saved her village.

And so to the Grand Line they go. The Grand Line is the place where at the end, or so it seems, the One Piece is. And the only one, who conquered it all, was the former Pirate King Gol D. Roger.

On the grand line, many dangers are waiting for the Straw Hat Pirates. But also new friends and crewmates. One of them is the doctor Choper, who is in fact a raindeer who ate the human human devil fruit. Then Nico Robin, a former enemy joins them. Her being interested in ponyglyphs that have some secret message about some weapon or something like that.

Another member, who joins is a shipwright whose name is Franky. He wears speedo and likes to say the word super. Also, he's a cyborg.

And the last crew member, for now, is Brook. He's a living skeleton. And a musician. And has weird laugh. Not as weird as a girl named Perona, so that's good.

Then there are the Devil fruits. Those who eat them, gain unnatural abilities, but lose the ability to swim. Luffy ate one – the gum gum fruit, thus he's a rubber man. Others on the Straw Hat crew, who ate a devil fruit are Robin, the hana hana fruit, gaining the ability to reproduce parts of her body, such as arms and legs. Even eyes. Then Choper, like I mentioned before. And Brook. I think the one he ate was teh revival revival fruit or something like that.

Other prominent characters of this series are Ace, the brother of Luffy, who dies during the battle at Marineford. Then Sengoku, one of the leaders of the Marines, the shichibukai, also known as the seven warlords of the sea. And those are Dracul Mihawk, Boa Hanckoc, Doflamengo, Moria, Bartholomew Kuma, and some more.

Former warlords (shichibukai) are Crocodile, Jimbei and some more whose names I just don't remember. And the wikia doesn't make much sense.

Oh, and then there are the admirals, or whatever, Aokiji, Akainu and Kizaru. Mighty strong, but can probably be beaten with Haki, which is an ability, that allowes people to fight on higher level. Even against logia type devil fruits.

Oh, and we cannot forget the Akagami no Shanks. Or readhair Shanks. Former mentor of Luffy, now one of the four yonko (emperors). Rulers of the New world, which is the second part of the grand line. 

Okay, enough with the details. And more about what I think about it. Well... Frankly, some of the adventures are boring. Like... the part with the stolen flags... I didn't like that. Also, I just hated when Ace died, but I learned to live with that.

Other than that, I really like the show and even more, I like the fact that it's so long. Many people would probably like it better if it had the usual 24 episodes, like most anime do, but I like the longer ones. The longer, the better. I hate it, when it only has a few episodes and it's the end... So kudos to One Piece. Still, I would like to know what exactly the One Piece is! I couldn't find any hints. So, if you have a theory, share it!

See ya.

Multiple plotline problem

Hi,

I hate when a book has multiple plotilnes. Not because it is hard to read, I actually like reading a book with multiple plotlines. Still, I hate it too. Especially when I want to write about that book. It is almost impossible to write it out. Unless you start writing it when you're still reading it. Like I'm doing now with the Legend of Drizzt series.

I mean... For writing about, single plotline is much better. Or, if there have to be multiple plotilnes, when they are just momentary occurences. Not when they drag thoughout the whole book! Still, multiple plotlines is a great read. Add in multiple timelines and you will not know what's going on. Sill, great to read. So... That's it.

 

Or not.

For writing about a book, two plotlines are still kinda okay. However, it gets much harder when you have four or more of them. That was the case with the Venetian Betrayal and The Templar Legacy, about which I didn't write. Er... I did, but in czech and haven't published it yet. It was a good book though. Great one. The first with Cotton Malone as a main character. Written by Steve Berry. I like his books. They have ancient artefacts and take place in the present time.

Okay, that would be all.

See ya.

Windows 8 update

Hi,

A few day back, I installed the new update for windows 8. I think it's windows 8.1. Well... apart from the weird colors of the tiles, I am, in general, happy with it. Though, if anyone knows, whether the color of the tiles themselves can be changed, I'd be interested in hearing it. It's bugging me! It's way too colorfull! And in order to have it at least aranged by the color, my system is gone!

Other than that, I'm fairly happy with it. It din't change much, the options are a bit more in-depth, the ones you can access from the side options/bar. Or whatever you call it. Moving on. There are other small changes. I'm not sure if the shop design is basically a shop update or if it is this way because of the windows update. Never mind. It's still confusing. I don't like how the shop looks.

Oh, and one more think, whenever I close windows 8 mode of Torch and then turn of the computer, when I next turn it on and open the browser, I have to click restore because it jsut always tells me it didn't shut down properly, which is bulcrap! Torch is still the best browser though. I'm definitely not changing it! At least not any time soon. Should probably install it on my other computer as well as my desktop in school... As each student has their own account.

Well, never mind that, it's not important. What I would like to knwo, is if there is anyone else who has the update. Out of you, that are reading my blog, of course. I would like to know what you think about it. :) Share your oppinions with me, yeah?

See ya.

Legend of Grimrock

By a chance I stumbled upon a great game. It was an add on a page I was reading. And so I clicked on it and read the description of the game. Of course, since if was interesting, I went and downloaded the game. It's called Legend of Grimrock and it is dungeon based. You create a party of four (or you can play with the default party) and then you play. The story begins with the party being thrown into a prison of sorts called Grimrock. And from there it's up to you to find your way down to the lowest level. If you manage, you will be free, or something. I am definitely not there yet. To be honest, I just finished the fird level. Counting from top of course. And I have to admit, that the game is pretty scary! It's dark and you have to watch your torches, because if they go out and there are non in the immedeate vicinity, you're doomed. Because it would be pitch black. 

 Throughout the game you collect equipment and weapons. And supplies, as you just can't have your heroes hungry. That wouldn't do. I'd be careful with those though, because the lower you go, the harder it is to find any. And since I'm only at the begining of level four, that has to count for something, right? The most will be in level one, so collect it all. Or the heroes will starve. The game as a whole is pretty dark and while I normaly don't play games like this one, because they are too scary, I enjoy this one, even though I'm always on edge when playing. I always wonder what monster will be around the next corner, and so on. So far, the worst to deal with was the group of skeletal warriors that fought as a group. Pretty damn hard to get rid of. And then there are the spiders! And they are poisonous! They killed my minotaur! Good thing that those gigantic blue crystals will revive a party member, right? 

 Oh, and can somebody walk me through making potions? I just don't understand how to do it! Thank you. But all in all, the game is great and I'm glad I found it. I was also trying to instal some similar games but windows 8 simply didn't agree with it, so I only have this one. If you know about similar games that will work on windows 8, please let me know, thanks. :)

See ya.

Edit: I figured the potions out ages ago. So you don't have to tell me anymore. xD All I had to do was click on the mortar with the right mouse button instead of trying all the other crap I did. xD

Chii sketch

This is a sketch from Anime Chobits. I did it while listening to the full version of opening from that anime. The sketch was done on a mini piece of paper but aside from that, I'm very happy with it. Though I did change the eyes a little bit. In the original, they looked a bit too blank for my liking. 

   So I hope you like it and it would be nice if you left a coment. :) Random thought: I just looked it up, it appears that both are possible - Chi and Chii. I do wonder which is actually correct. Or if both are.

See ya.

When death strikes

Hi,

my grandmother died today. She had cancer and was in a bad shape for several months now. And today was just the day when she died. I last saw her on Saturday. So only like two days ago, so that's good, that she saw me and I her before it happened. The suprising think is, I'm not really feeling anything... Sadness, or anything. I just feel normal... Does that mean that I'm cold blodded  and uncaring, or does that mean that my relationship with her was not as good as I thought? To be honest, I think that it's the first option...

Frankly, I alway was kinda detatched... From reality I mean. Whenever something happened in the real life, I didn't even so much as flinch, however, if my favourite character in a book, game, movie died, I'd cry... Is it wrong? Probably... But there is nothing I can do about it. I just don't know how to be a loving caring person... 

Well... At least the death was quick and peaceful. At least, that's what my mom said. From what she told me, she was there. Even though I'm not sure she was there for the exact moment. I myslef wouldn't have been able to be there as I was in school working my brain with math and programing... Oh well... You know how it goes. Remember the good about the dead and let the life go on... 

See ya.

Haima

My used to be DF rogue character. I don't have her anymore. But never mind that, I don't play rogues anymore either. At least not in DragonFable. They seem weak. At least in this game. As for the picture itself, I like how the shading is done. I'm not sure about the neck, it looks a bit of... Something about it just doesn't seem right. Doesn't matter... As a whole, I like this picture. Maybe not so much as some of my other pictures, like Hisoka, or Leon or Atobe, but yes, I like it.

See ya.

Follow-up on Google Chrome rant

So I've been using Torch the past few days and the only thing I found that doesn't work in Windows 8 mode is DivX web player. Which is something I can live without as I'm only using the desktop DivX player to watch downloaded movies. So, if there are any of you that are experiencing problems with windows 8's version of google chrome, try using Torch browser, which is essentially the same, only it can download torrents and has a few other nifty thingies. Thoough I'm not really using those. Only the torrent download, as that was the primary reason I even had Torch. 

 The only remaining question is: Should I uninstal Google Chrome completely or should I keep it as a back-up browser? I'm thinking of removing it completely as I don't really have a use for it anymore. But somehow, I don't wanna... So if any of you want to give your oppinion on this, it would be great. :)

See ya.

Hisoka

This picture is one of those I'm realy proud of. It is anime and I realy like it, because I was able to make it look a bit less anime-ish that it was supposed to be. And I like that. I'm always trying to make anime look a bit more realistic. It doesn't work every time, but sometimes it just does and in this case, well, I don't know, but I like it. I mean, it's not that realistic, but to be honest, I for example don't like the purely anime-ish noses. So that's one thing I'm always trying to change. I hink that in Hisoka's case, it worked rather well.

   And as for the character himself, he's from anime Hunter x Hunter. And even though he's not exactly one of the good guys, he's my favourite character from the anime. I like the good guys that are not purely good. If a character is purely good and nothing more, it can sometimes get boring. And I don't like that. So I hope you like the picture and if you do, just leave your comments below. I'll be real happy if you do!

See ya.

Digital DF dragon

This is a very old picture of a newly hatched DF dragon pet. It's done in PhotoFiltre and with a mouse. It was my first half serious attempt at digital drawing. For that, I think it's not so bad. Maybe I'll do another version that would be done in Photoshop and with a tablet. I'm not sure though. Anyway, tell me what you think, okay? 

 See ya.

Macubex

This picture is about two years old. I drew it when in class - seminar of Creative writing. At that time, we were waiting for the professor to show up and I was bored. I believe that I didn't have a book that day, so I was left to draw. And this was the result of it. The picture is done purely in pencil and was complete in about ten minutes, which I think is quite quick. It is just a sketch, but I like how it turned out. So I hope you will like it too. :) Please leave your coments below. 

See ya.

   

Digital Daniel

Hi, this time, I've got a digital picture for ya. It's again my character Daniel from DF. This time, however, it's not a spin of but the actuall character. Done with mouse, as it was when I didn't have a tablet yet. For a mouse, I think it's not so bad. As for the background, it's done with the help of a mask. I had a version without the stars, but I like this one better. : ) And you? What do you think?

See ya.

I hate Google chrome (In windows 8 mode)

Again, reminder that this is a repost. :)

Starting today, Google chrome in windows 8 mode stopped cooperating with me. Yesterday, I was able to play games on Kongregate or watch videos on youtube. Today, it said that Adobe flash didn't work in windows 8 mode and that I would have to relaunch chrome on desktop. WTF?! Yesterday it worked just fine! So I decided to try restarting my computer. When that didn't solve the problem, I reinstalled chrome. No luck there either.

 So I was like "The fuck?! What the Hell is going on?!" And then I decided to take drastic messures. I have a browser similar to Chrome - it's called Torch. And it has a windows 8 mode too. So I switched the two browsers - google I have for desktop when there is something that only works on desktop and Torch is now my main browser. And voila! Everything works just fine! And therefore, I hate google chrome. I mean, torch is a fairly unknown browser, right? And if they could make everything work in windows 8 mode, why can't google?! So from now on, if I don't have to, I will not use Google Chrom!

See ya.

Daniel in markers

Hi,

I've got two pictures. Old. Several years old, to be honest. Both are based on DragonFable though. This first one is a spin of of my character Daniel. A mage. In original, he's all in black and has a different staff. This staff is based on Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Dark Magician's staff. Also, this is one of my first tries using the Faber Castel brush nib markers. And for about second or so try, I think it's pretty damn good! 

And as for this second one, it was done some time later. Also with the markers. Only, it's not really a DF character. Based on it, yes. Still, it's Daniel. Only more futuristic, or even post-apocalyptic. As for the pose, it's weird. Very much so. Also, at the very begining, the picture was based on the song Guardian Angel from Groove Coverage. Nope, not one of my better works. Definitely not.

See ya.

Future is not set in stone

First of, I want to say that this is not exactly Daily Prompt answer. While the title is the answer to it, I decided to take a different point of view. For a long time I belived (and still do) that future is not set in stone. Never was, never will be. Yes, there are possible futures, but in the end, it all comes to our decisions. With each decision the future splits into more and more paths. If we were in a world where magic was real, I'd say that with each decision a new alternative reality is created. And I mean with each decision of every person, because it all connects. The decision of one can affect many others.

 Alas, we are not in a world swirling with magic, and even if we were, I wouldn't try to predict my future. Because, by knowing or even trying to know your future, you're limiting your options. With the future known, you can only chose two paths. The one that strives for it or the one that will try to avoid it. When you don't know what will happen, you are not restricted by this and therefore free to think of something you might not otherwise. Future should remain unknown until it becomes present, because all predictions and prphecies are self fulfiling. And that is just plain stupid! And anyway, why would you wanna know your own future? It takes away all the fun!

See ya.

Weird connection

Why do I connect muffins with Akatsuki from Naruto? Seriously, I've got no... wait, I do have an idea. Several years ago, I read a fan comic about why Orochimaru really left Akatsuki. And there it was. The Muffin! and recently, I started to be a Naruto fan again and I remembered it. Hence, Akatsuki and Muffins are forever connected in my mind. I'd post the comic, I¨ve got it saved in my computer, but it's in czech and you wouldn't understand it. So... No comic for you. 

I just needed to write this. Just for the heck of it. 

See ya.

Toshiro Hitsugaya

This picture is a bit newer than the other ones I posted. Only about three months old. It's Toshiro Hitsugaya from Bleach. One of my favourite characters when it comes to Bleach. Surprisingly I didn't notice it was him until the picture was finished. As for the tools I used, it's black liner for the linework. Then colored pencils for the character and a marker for the background. Drawn on a really small paper but it turned out quite well. I definitely can't complain.

 So I hope you like it and if you do, it would be nice of you to leave a coment. Or, you can coment even if you don't like it. That could gen even more interesting. :) I'm looking forward to it.

See ya.

Old drawings - Beyblade

I have a lot of old drawings that I need to post first before I get to the newer ones. Or, not really first, but as I have it organised in my folders on my computer, I will be posting it in that order. First are some drawings of Kai Hiwatari from anime Beyblade. They are several years old and not that great but I want to post them anyway. And that is because I want to post all of my drawings that I have scanned.

   This first one is the oldest. Done with crappy marker for a lineart and then colored hastily with colored pencils for kids. I still use those but in a more professional way. I did learn. But for a quick drawing, it is not so bad. I mean, it could alway be worse.

 This second one was ment only as a crappy sketch. However, it turned out quite well. Even though I was not trying at all. The point of that is that my drawings look better if I don't try so hard. I think it's about to let loose and forget all the technical mambo-jambo. I like this one. It has character.

   And this last one is the newest. Again done with colored pencils. But you can see that unlike in the first one, it is done with much more care and it does not look like a five year old drew it. I think I did this when I was about fifteen? Maybe sixteen. So a few years back. I could probably give you a more precise date, if I remember when I was watching Beyblade on youtube. Alas, all I know is that it was several years back. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. And there will be more. For sure.

See ya.

Procrastination

I have this bad habit of postponing anything important that I have to do. I would say that I have still a lot of time and say that I'll do it tomorrow. Then that day I would say tomorrow again... I need to learn to do things as soon as I can, but seem to be unable to do so. Yes, unfortunately I'm lazy like that. And it is not that great.

 So I decided that I would start doing things as soon as I can. Now, the only thing that's left is to actually do so. And I do hope I will be able to do it. It would help me greatly with SO many things... So... Let's just wait and see.

See ya.

To kill FF.net

Why?

That would be when fanfiction.net removes a story I have in my bookmarks and I haven't finished reading yet. I hate that! Just today, I wanted to read a story I started some time ago and found out it has been deleted... That just stinks! I hate it! I mean, fanfiction.net is a bottomles well of stories, but still, they shouldn't be deleting them! Even if it has explicit mature content... I mean, there are warnings, that can be applied! Geez...

The story I'm currently talking about is called Formans Familia and is a Harry Potter fanfiction. If you know of this story being posted somwhere else, I'd like the link to it. :) Thanks. Because, I would like to finish reading it. And right now, I can't. 

See ya.
