Just to let you know that I'm still alive
By Mike DalyDecember 4th, 2005
Hey guys! It's me! Remeber me?
... Oh, you don't? I'm such a loser.
Anyway, it's been far too long. So long that I don't really know what to say. I'll just put up some pictures and be done with it.
Picture 1: A while back I posted a series of images demonstrating my art process for making a terrible picture. I made another a few weeks later but never posted it. Slightly ironic, considering the second set was actually worth looking at. Enough talk, here you go.
Picture 2: I tried drawing another character portrait for some random character I came up with, but, as usual, I was very underwhelmed by the result.
Picture 3: This one is my personal favorite. I tried some new things this time. Mainly, I payed a lot more attention to the colors that went into the pallette and I didn't seperate the thing into a bazillion layers - the whole thing is basically just one layer. I'm fairly happy to present the redhead. My apologies for the lack of a real title.
Picture 4: Once upon a time Wayne picked up my tablet and tried his hand at it. What can I say? He couldn't control his subconscious urge to fill the canvas with phallic imagery. I'll let you see for yourself. Here's a neat game: can you spot all 5 poorly disguised phallic symbols in Wayne's drawing?
That's all I got. I meant to write a Rant on Perfect Dark: Zero as well, but I figured that pictures would be a more entertaining way to spend your morning. I also ran out of time. And it couldn't hurt to have something to post next time (if there ever is one) too.
Good night.

Season's greetings

Hey y'all! (sorry, just got back from the mountains)
Well, the month of December is about spent, and we still don't have any snow to show for it. What we all SHOULD have instead is a big pile of loot from christmas. I know I got away pretty nicely with a new gas grill from my parents and a Sony PSP from my employers.
To tell you the truth, I don't have much interesting to post, but I figured I would update anyway for 2 main reasons: 1) most interesting sites on the net don't update during the holidays, so I'm feeling webcomic withdrawl, and 2) people seem to have more time to waste on the internet during the holiday break. These two factors lead me to believe that it is now an ideal time to post an update despite the fact that it (as usual) is going to be completely devoid of purpose.
Let's make with the linkey! I got two interesting new links just today that I feel obligated to share with the world. Contestant number one is a flash game entitled Megaman vs. Ghosts 'n Goblins. Some good nostalgic fun to be had there. Contestant number two is a flash movie: Ryu vs. Scorpion. I know the idea of doing a flash pitting mismatched fighters together has been done over and over, but this one, at least, is really good animation. For this one, you may want to choose scenes and skip the first bit, it's kind of dumb.
Now that you have those to keep you busy for a few minutes, feel free to move on to the rest of the internet as what I'm going to say next is probably not relevant to any of you at all.
Dude! Xbox Live on the 360 rocks! I've bought 2 live arcade games so far and am immensely enjoying them both (for $10 each, they are already a better investment than most of the rest of my library). I managed to complete Adventure and Tally mode for Mutant storm (I'm ranked about 200 for tally mode), and finally got around to finishing Perfect Dark. I suspect that I'll start playing PD on Live a little bit more often soon. Why don't you guys have 360s yet!? Get you some Xbox Live, yo! Check this out:
