Creativity / I drew another portrait

I'm not too proud of this one. :/ It was for someone's Christmas.
Also, I had to rush. A lot.

Off Topic / Pepakura (Iron Man helmet progress)
« on: December 16, 2010, 12:54:39 AM »
Creativity seems to be dead. I'll cross-post this (Oh, no!) and make it a general Pepakura thread.
Pepakura (Japanese for "papercraft") is a program that is used to break down 3d models into fold-able shapes. These shapes create a paper model that is (depending on skill) a replica of the 3d model. The model is then typically hardened, coated, sanded, and painted to specifications.
Here's my first attempt
Does anyone else do anything like this?

Progress so far:
It's card stock super-glued together. It will be completely finished with resin and bondo. I also plan to use servos for the opening/closing face mask and LEDs to light the eyes.
I'll totally wear this in public.

Off Topic / 712 days since I've had a soda
« on: November 16, 2010, 12:02:44 AM »
I make this thread every few hundred days or so. I'm going to see if I can keep it up forever.
I only drink water. Feels good, man.
Edit: Also, 37 days without any caffeine what-so-ever... and counting.

I've taken a long break from drawing portraits, but that break is over. Here's a drawing I drew in class yesterday. It took ten hours.

Off Topic / I'm joining a band
« on: September 23, 2010, 06:05:19 PM »
...with the old drummer from It Prevails. He's starting a new project with influence from Glassjaw. It Prevails was huge but he somehow ended up in two of my college classes (In Alabama). Anyway, I showed him some of my material and we instantly started forming a pretty awesome sounding song (he plays guitar and drums). He told me to record it so he can finish writing the second guitar part.
This seems pretty awesome to me. This guy has been in music videos and toured Europe. It's just not the sort of musician I'm used to playing with. Feels good, man.
Also, he's the drummer in this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnR5BcqqWTY.

Off Topic / Oreos up the ass
« on: September 20, 2010, 11:07:46 PM »
Three seniors (football players) at the high school I went to pulled down the pants of a 9th grader and literally shoved Oreo cookies into his ass. They're currently in jail facing all sorts of charges.

Off Topic / Why can't I play video games anymore?
« on: September 09, 2010, 12:52:50 PM »
I haven't played a video game in about six months. I want to and plan to, but don't. I literally own games that I have not played once. I'm excited about a few games that are about to be released, but I know I won't actually play them.
Feels batman. :(

Off Topic / HTC HD2 Android Update
« on: September 03, 2010, 03:33:09 PM »
I have unlocked the phone, flashed new network radios, and flashed an almost non-existent windows ROM. The latest Android build has everything working. I've been running Android 2.2 (Froyo) from my microsd card for three days straight now. I have better data connection and call quality than I did in native Windows Mobile. The only thing that's struggling is the battery optimization, but that's due to the microsd usage. It can also be improved via over/underclocking software (screen off = 200mhz cap). Also worth noting is that I get significantly better performance than other stock android phones according to benchmark tests.
This is amazing.

Off Topic / Imagine punching somebody
« on: September 02, 2010, 10:37:42 PM »
so hard that they turned into a door. Then you found out that's where ALL doors come from, and you got initiated into a murder club that makes doors. The stronger you punch, the better the door. So there are like super strong murderers who punch people into like Venetian doors and stuff

Well, I ended up getting a quad of JJ 6L6's, a Tung-sol 12AX7 for v1, a JJ ECC803S for v2, and a Sovtek 12AX7LPS for v3.
