thagirionHey everyone. So things are going pretty well. Wow had lots of comments to catch up on here and on YT. I'm happy to see you guys posting again. We need to get this place more active. Do tell your friends about this place in real life. I will promote it again soon on my youtube and hope some of my good commenters there will join. We need to new good recruits. Speaking of youtube after YEARS of being glitched I think they've finally done something right and fixed the comments. About three years ago I had someone leave a nice comment on one of my chicken videos. I went to approve it and it would not go through. The comment was stuck and that's when the problems started. I could never get rid of it. I tried approving, deleting, blocking, marking as spam etc. But nothing worked. And then when the new youtube got installed I'm sure it is related that that stuck comment would not let new comments show up. And I was not the only one. Lots of my watchers told me they were not getting comments until way later. I reply to everyone as you guys know so I hated it that it made my look like I was ignoring everyone. But a few days ago I noticed comments were finally showing up on time and going through. I found the old chicken comment and approved it and it finally went through. FINALLY. It's been smooth sailing since then. I'm surprised as I'm used to all sites only doing what's wrong and changes being made for the worse and bugs never getting fixed. I still don't trust or like youtube though but I can say this one good thing at least.
You guys that have been with me a long time know that I love the video game Skyrim. Well Chris picked it up again recently. We have had many play throughs as many characters. We've always played it and beaten it honestly so this time Chris decided to try playing with mod. The Mods will cause trophies/achievements to be disabled. We didn't care because we've already played the game so much and put tons of hours into building our characters. Well we found the single most awesome mod in the game. Someone made an exploding chicken follower. In skyrim there are chickens. Like in almost every open world video game. They are small background elements you usually can't interact with. Here is what they look like in the game.
Kind of like a red star chicken. Well someone made it so that you can have one as a follower and she has all the most powerful spells. She has lightning, fire, explosion and the Fus Ro Da shout. She can knock down even giants. She has tons of health. She can carry your stuff. She doesn't die. She gives you free eggs. Her name is Breakfast. The only thing I don't like that keeps this from being the perfect mod is they gave her a male voice. I can tell it's one of the voices from one of the other followers but I can't quite place it. But it is funny to hear her say "FOR SOVENGARD! Is that all you've got?" She is brave and charges into battle. And she can't be killed. If only she had the voice of a female warrior it would be perfect. But I LOVE her. I will post a video eventually. Really I should not be gaming right now with so much to do.
The other thing I have been doing in Skyrim is I have remade Scary Fear. With mods I was able to get the cloak from the Gray Beards which is perfect for Fear. I can't have his normal outfit in this game of course. The blue shirt with dark green sleeves. It's such a unique shirt it's hard to make in any game really. BUT the Gray Beards cloak looks like Fear's alternate clothing in my story. And I also found a mod for skin color on the dark elves. Kinda stupid that dark elves aren't dark. So now I have him with his black skin. He looks awesome. So yes videos will be coming eventually. I'm leveling right now and have to design the perfect enchantments for his outfit. I'm adding his stats like he is in my story. Strong powers but low health. I kind of want high stamina though because Fear in my stories can run and is very fast. Fear IS fast. Yesterday was a day off and Chris helped me level him.
So art wise. I have finished this bad arse drawing. I've made it to look like an album cover. I'm going to draw the back soon that will have the list of songs. If this were a real CD it would be galactic power metal like GammaRay.
So far this is one of my fave Fear drawings ever. I must arrange a top five of my faves some day. I'm still over hauling some of the older art. One day I will finish Dawn of Fear. This is the drawing I made for the Ace of Spades. But so much of the lovely art was covered up I had to use it for something else. I'm also going to be making a mouse pad out of this but will without the texts. Oh gosh those stupid texts where the hardest thing about this as styles have never worked right for me on Photoshop. So annoying.
So I am still waiting for my Dennis Nedrys to arrive. Notice it's plural. The Ebay one should be arriving today. It's the race of the fat guys. Who will win? As for the one coming from Entertainment Earth, the tracking says it's in Atlanta but once again no update in days. It could be anywhere.
My budgies are all doing well. Whitey has turned out to be a surprise. She is my first talking female. But don't think she's like Minion or any of my previous good talkers. Still I'm surprised she talks. She says in a bad robot voice, "Hi Whitey." And possibly "Pretty girl." I don't expect her vocabulary to get better than that or her pronounciation, but it's a talking female!! That alone and four words is just super rare and amazing. This line from Emma II has been full of surprised. I had a crested and now a talking female. Sadly Whitey has become a coward. I think the siblings have picked on her and she's afraid of other budgies. She's also afraid of my hands but comes to my face if I talk to her. Pretty much all my birds are imprinted on my face but not my hands. Sigh. You have to be careful because the friendly ones will jump on your face because of this even if they aren't in the cage. Face huger budgies and their nails hurt. Whitey also seems to have taken an interest in Minion. She's curious about him. Always has been despite him having acted like a jerk when she was a baby. I didn't want to breed any of the spangled babies because of Emma having been a bad mom and possibly passing on being bad parents. I lost so many eggs and babies this year. And also the bad crested gene as well ANd the spangle diluting lacewing. But if Whitey talks and Minion is a champion talker the talking gene would be increased. After all these generations Whitey got the talking gene from the original ancestor and founder of the line: Phage. But with Whitey being unfriendly that's more bad traits passing on than good ones. Not sure what to do. She's too young anyway to breed.
Well once again we are already half way through the month and I have not even started September's Bullet Journal. I will try to and will take ACTipton's advice to draw cactuses because they are easy. This should in theory get me ahead. I bought a regular planner so that I can still write my plans and chores for when my BJ is not ready. Then I transfer it over. Here is a pic. I love how pretty this planner is.
So yes this will be a very helpful thing.
A late B Day gift from Peregrine. Thank you. It looks like Minion and he was curious about it. Ok I think I will stop here. It's late in the morning and I got to get to work.
