She looks like Polly from Inspector Gaget :3 Sorta

[classy_cat18]

Wow, she really does. *laughs*

[Roy Karrde]

I tried flattening out her nose at the top but it just comes off as too weird, its something with how I modeled it or something as it comes off as brightly colored in that area when its flattened. And yeah I guess she looks like Penny O.o

[Houndoom_Lover]

Penny...Polly, haha, my bad.

But booya! Called that :3 I'm surprised that clicked in my brain. Its a pool of useless information and referances.

Penny for the win

What's your model for again, Roy? ^_^

[Roy Karrde]

I plan to make a scene with her and a 6 tails wolf I made for Kalah two years ago with some tweeks on it. I am going to have her holding a glowing summoning staff, the wolf by her side, inside of a rocky underground tunnel/mine shaft, that is only lit with candles every thirty feet, in the distance you can make out some 2 foot tall beetles, that have yellow glowing eyes, further back all you can see are the glowing eyes in the darkness.



Picture of the Staff from a earlier project last month.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Oh how snazy!!

That's a real good staff there. And those hands a disturbingly real...Like that movie with the Train and the children at Christmas ^w^

[Roy Karrde]

The texture is actually my sister's hands! I had two projects this summer, the current one, another one I did earlier, and a side project, so far I have two out of three done!



My first project



My side project

[Crystal Tears]

Oh how snazy!!

That's a real good staff there. And those hands a disturbingly real...Like that movie with the Train and the children at Christmas ^w^

Wasn't it called 'The Christmas Express'? My dad has the book.. o.o

[classy_cat18]

It's The Polar Express, and I love that movie.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Yeah!! It was called Christmas Express! That movie was trippy :3 Like the scene where he's on the top of the train.

Your side project reminds me of Fable ^_^

And your first Project.....Lex Luther's office. That was nice of your sister to lend you her hands

[classy_cat18]

I'm pretty sure it was "Polar" and not "Christmas".

[Houndoom_Lover]

......*goes to check my moives* Hmrhm, Yesh Polar Express. Haha. As you can see, I had no idea what it was called :3 But that moive is still trippy. With the bell...

[VirtualPlay]

The book was better. >.>

[DivineAll]

Most books are much better than the movie adaptations they're based off of. At least that's how I think it goes.

[ChobiChibi]

Books are always better. I just finished reading My Sister's Keeper and then asked someone about the film. They changed the ending so it was super happy. I nearly cried at the end of the book, it was that horrible, but the film just gave everyone what they wanted D:

Stupid films.

Btw, HI I'M BACK! DID YA MISS ME?!

[Crystal Tears]

*pounce on Becki* Hiz. I'm back too. I missed you lotz *snuggle*

The book was much better than the film from what I remember. It was one of the few books I read lolz.

... OMFG the RPG awards... Whoops... >_>;

Yeah that'll get done soon eventually. Probably today sometime this week. I got real busy before I left for my cottage and was unable to post it then. Sorry guys.

[classy_cat18]

In other news...

[ChobiChibi]

Yay! Happy belated birthday Rio! X3

*pictures a drunken, word-slurring pirate mumbling about blitzball*

[Houndoom_Lover]

It's more humid then an Brazillian jungle in here -o-


Happy Birthday your birthed thing


So, I was up until 4 thirty playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. That game is so additctive :3

[ChobiChibi]

Y'know what sucks?! Not having internet on the mass posting day...

I want to post, damnit! T_T

[Houndoom_Lover]

I have no internet either! I'm at the library! :3 I got the card of the week up *hugs Chobi* Meee! I'm gunna try to fix my computer all by myself today. Only disatsrer will occur from this.

[Blademaster]

I'm getting the popcorn out for this shit. XD

[classy_cat18]

Duck and cover!

[Houndoom_Lover]

Step One: Insert flashdrive

*Is struggling to open the flashdrive from its package*

Guys, currently, I'm drowsey from medication. Ooosh yeah, this is gunna be good :3 If my computer has a warrenty, I'm expiring it right now

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Actually there's something I've been wondering.

Is it the fashion now to do a word count for your posts? Or is it a new (written or unwritten) rule, or somet?

[classy_cat18]

It depends on the person. I know Crystal Tears likes posts of a certain length.

[Blademaster]

It's an unwritten "rule" that almost nobody here employs because between general disinterest, genre restriction, and general disinterest in new genres, the board is already dead enough without needing to stagnate it any further by making every post in it a school project.

[VirtualPlay]

Actually there's something I've been wondering.

Is it the fashion now to do a word count for your posts? Or is it a new (written or unwritten) rule, or somet?

It's now a rule that an RPG creator may opt to include a minimum post length, if they so choose; if they do then anyone who joins must abide by the word count. It helps keep short, non-descriptive posts out of RPGs that the creator believes has potential.

It's not mandatory to have a word count, but overall it's a good idea. (It's weeded out some lazy/unwilling people and forced other people to actually put thought into their posts, so it has done some good.)

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Indeed.

Not been in here a good long while, nice to know some things have (or haven't) changed.

Thanks for the info, I shall now retreat back to the bowels of obscurity.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Fuck that rule, I say. Implied or otherwise.

By the way- it didn't work. Now it's sitting there, unresponsive in a vegitated state. But at least I stopped it from making that horrible noise and flashing warnings ever four seconds. I'll be calling the tech people Monday >w> This is outragous.

Someone post in the Yes No topic, goddamnit.

[ChobiChibi]

Regardless of that rule, I'd probably end up posting over 500 words anyway <3

In fact, I do. Consistantly. Even when not nessisary. I feel like I have achieved something by doing it. And if you think 500 words is an essay, you're greatly mistaken! I have a 2500 word essay on the music of the baroque era to research and write before the end of the semester. Mmmm baroque...

I leave you with this quote: "If it isn't Baroque, don't fix it!"

[classy_cat18]

I leave you with this quote: "If it isn't Baroque, don't fix it!"

Wasn't that from Beauty and the Beast?

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Regardless of that rule, I'd probably end up posting over 500 words anyway <3

I would agree that it depends on the person but alas, I'm one of those people who like to read as well as author masses of paragraphs (or masses of dialogue. in fact, I prefer masses of dialogue, it's spaced out and easier on the eyes) so, yes. I like this guideline.

[Weasel Overlord]

Haha yeah, after you've written 10,000 words for a dissertation, 500 words for a post, well, it's not exactly long. Half an hour of typing, if not less? In fact, 500 words of a post that's not all dialogue fits exactly on my screen, no scrolling necessary! And, as it happens, plenty of people employ the over-500-words rule. I employed it even before it was a rule, and now I find that if I have no inspiration for a post, it helps me to get one written cos you have a firm guideline of where to finish.

*glomps Wennford*

[ChobiChibi]

Wasn't that from Beauty and the Beast?

Yes!!! Shonta you genious! XD It's out houses' motto. Our baroque lecture is first thing on a Tuesday morning with the most boring man on the planet, we need something to get us through it!

[Bear]

WO your dissertation was only 10,000 Words? Jesus, mine is gonna be 250 pages, which ends up equating to like 83,000 words...I hate my History degree...

Also, why did this subject of the post length rule suddenly become a heated argument? No need to be dropping F-bombs and getting angry about it. EFCS only asked if it was a fashion or an unwritten rule, not for what we THOUGHT of it.

If you're going to post your opinion, please do so, but leave out all the extra "flair" (curse words, flaming, etc)

This board was never this violent in the past...

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Ahahahahaha Wurzel remember all those two-thousand-word horrors we used to spring on people in Otherworld? (no wonder only Jobes and you were left in the end, even I couldn't last that marathon)

...I sound like I'm a hundred, or something.

I don't have to write a dissertation (yet) but I'm told it will also be 10,000 words. And I will have to decorate it. In a graphic-designer-packaged artsy-fartsy way. Delightful.

Of course, not a patch on 83,000 words.

P.S. kirkle, have been rereading Discworld and by association VV fanfic. WHY IS THERE NOT MORE FANFIC FOR THIS COUPLE aside from the fact that one of the V's is happily married with a child?
P.P.S. box, I know you will probably eventually read this, and I now concede your estimate of "next year" for the profiles you asked me to draw is all too accurate, I have again got caught up rushing deadlines for a manga vaguely concerning the concept of national personifications bonking each other.

[Houndoom_Lover]

I'll swear whenever I want Bear- I enjoy doing so. I don't swear when I'm angry, you silly little gopher, I swear because I want to. Mmmhmmm :3

Dudes, I just started up a new writting regiume, I'm going for speed instead of chapter count these days, since I'm stuck in the freaking libarary. I should be doin' Japanese, oh Ham, I'm gunna fail this quizz :3 Rurururu, but I can spell my name and Gink-o <- Long O. Is bank. And Rampu is lamp. So I know Wednesday and I know Rome, I know Ramp- erm, lamp, and bank and "Where the hell's my pencil" apparently. XD According to my roomates, I so wasn't speaking english when I said that.

I'm in such a good mood, despite this semster taking a nose dive. Everyone needs a breather. This is why I'm not working- yep, I need to wash my clothes, but our washer is broken...

*Opens a word document*

Neeer~

[EngiMatikul]

WO your dissertation was only 10,000 Words? Jesus, mine is gonna be 250 pages, which ends up equating to like 83,000 words...I hate my History degree...

This is going to be my dissertation for my PhD in bioinformatics/neural computation degree. I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.


I wonder if I can count different genomes as different words... AGGGATTCTTTCAAAAG

Now that I think about it it doesn't matter how long a dissertation is as long as people like it and I get published. :V

PS. LOL ChikoSai. Its ok I haven't exactly been overproductive working on that project either. :<
