Interests include: shotguns, large breasts

I'd also like to meet a sandwich.

My sister-in-law was looking around the net for herself (I don’t ask questions), and this somehow resulted in me finding my old MySpace page. I remembered signing up when it was in its infancy: Friendster was still in vogue at the time, if that gives you any indication of how long ago this was. I never actually did anything on MySpace, but it looks like I filled out my profile.

Apparently I was awesome.

Who I’d Like to Meet:
Humans, and the occasional chubby cat or Chow.

Interests

General:
Animation, Coca-Cola, zombies, shotguns, the Moon Crest, Wolf Medal, and the occasional Chow.

Music:
Hum, Castor, Shudder To Think, STP, The Pillows, Stabbing Westward, The Used, Shiner, and the occasional Chow.

Television:
FLCL, Robotech, Sealab 2020, anything on HGTV except that show where the designers set $1,000 aflame and inflict a pineapple themed dining room on some poor couple in the process.

Books:
I ran out of good books to read, so I’m trying out pornography. I prefer the magazines geared at very specific markets, like “Large-Breasted Redheaded Asian Woman Bi-Monthly”, “Assathon”, and “That Girl Alicia From Your Work, Except She Naked”. I also have four shelves full of “Hot Hobbit Women” in my apartment, and I’m not ashamed.

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume “Hot Hobbit Women” is supposed to be the name of a magazine and not a bunch of poor fantasy folk I’ve jammed into my furniture.

Can’t sleep. New brushes

The role of the highwayman will be played by Courtney Cox. Apparently.

Messing around in Photoshop and trying out some new brushes since I took an accidental nap that threw off my entire night.

This is the 8bitartist Highwayman’s girlfriend, I suppose. It’s nice that they can share a closet.

I have a bad tendency to use the same brush for all tasks and all materials, and I’m trying to change that. I created a much coarser brush for the skin shading, a very smooth, airbrush-y one for the eyes and hair, and a chunky flat brush for the “cloth” pieces. Still needs some tweaking, but I like the textural variety. And it didn’t take long: this represents about 1.5 hours of casual Photoshop, including making the brushes. Can’t complain.
