The Tinkerer

Not a lot of time here- been having some technical difficulties while getting caught up with school. I just thought I'd put up that picture of The Tinker I had talked about from the Super Mario vs. Wilford Brimley post.

The picture is line art that was scanned into the computer, colored in Photoshop with multiple layers. The background was made using Vue6, which is modeling software used primarily for terrain. The lens flare isn't photoshopped- it's included in the calculations of the Vue6 software.

I'll try to get back to popsting normally as soon as possible finals week is always a lot of fun, ya know. Let me know what you think of The Tinkerer!

Super Mario vs Wilford Brimley

It's official. I need more sleep. I have four alarms on my cell phone, and I managed to sleep through all but the last one this morning. The last alarm is simply to let me know that I am at the extent of my travel time- in other words, leave the house by this time if you want to make it to work on time. Needless to say, I was ten minutes late. Therefore, I am updating at work, on a coworker's computer while he is outside killing his lungs.

I stayed up until three redesigning the layout of my website. Yes, in addition to this blog, I also have a site where I have podcasts and reviews of anime and popular movies. The new layout is coming along fine, save for the actual title of the page. I feel like it doesn't stand out as well as the logo does. There's no balance. Stupid Photoshop CS3! Why can't you read my mind?

Last night, I created a new character for The Goodenough Kids. He's a kindly old man I call The Tinkerer. He has a huge, bushy mustache, glasses, and coveralls. Everybody says he looks like a cross between Super Mario and Wilford Brimley. Who is the man. I'll post a picture of The Tinkerer when I scan it.

When finals are over I'm going to sleep for a decade.
