joe randel's art dump

So I’ve been wondering why after 120 posts I’ve yet to receive one single comment on my actual blog area.  Now I know most of the people are going to be here at the art communities.  It’s like trying to show your art in your own home vs showing it at a high profile gallery.  You just can’t compare.  Well, maybe if I started to properly review naughty anime games, draw on a regular basis (or maybe post the line drawings here and the colour versions there) and start to give props to others to get my name out then maybe… maybe I could gather enough hits on my blog to make some money… with ads or something…

Anyway, why the hell aren’t people leaving comments on my bog?  Well I found out tonight…  I turned off the comment option.  I updated the wordpress files a while back and it must have set it at closed comments because I don’t remember turning it off.

So yeah, people can comment at my blog area again.  If you decided to travel there you’ll get to see pictures to go a long with my posts that I make…  that’s it really, but it looks cool.

Next is to update my gallery… it’s been a while… ^_^

Okay, so the other day I was adding to my collection of naughty pictures and I stopped and took noticed that… I have a crazy ton of saucy pics, clips and/or games here on my laptop.

On my lap top I have…

11 eroge games (most if not all made by Soft Circle Correges… they made MayQueen… my favorite game)
1500ish naughty pictures (collection of anime, toon/furry smut)
55  sexy manga (sky girls, Pangya, StarShip Titus, Athena and Friends collection, etc…)
400ish real porn pictures

This is just on my laptop… I have about 500 Sailor Moon on a CD and countless more filthy manga on another DVD.

Do I have a problem?  Or do I just love my naughty pictures?  How big is your collection?  Where do you usually fish for your pictures?  I go to DA, FA, 4Chan and Danbooru.

Oh, and as for AC… sorry.  I won’t be attending.

So today I was going to replace my basement toilet with a new flapperless toilet because I’m eco friendly like that and yeah… it didn’t go over so well.

I’m not the best handy guy in the world but I do what I can and I like to learn new things.  But when it came to this job… I was able to turn off the water and drain the toilet but the nuts and bolts where rusted and fused in to one piece of metal.  URG!  Who ever put this stupid thing in didn’t use brass nuts and bolts now I have to suffer because 4 hours later… I couldn’t get the stupid things off.  I even went out and bought one of those dremmel tools and that didn’t work.

Suck…

So I call my Dad because Dad’s usually know this stuff and he just redid his whole bathroom by himself.  He said that if I’m lucky I should be able to turn the whole bowl counterclockwise (with the tank removed) and pull up and the whole thing should come off.

Well, we have company over for the week so it’ll have to wait until next weekend.  I’ll fill you in on the results then.

Stupid toilet…

Hope your weekend was better then mine.

Yesterday I didn’t get an animation done for work.

Today… I learned how to make a towel elephant like the one I found in my stateroom on the cruise.

I feel much better ^_^

It’s tough being an artist for a living sometimes. Sure it might sound like fun being able to do your hobby and get paid for it… and trust me… it rocks, but sometimes things just don’t come together. Take for today for example, I was working on a magical effect animation for my project and do you think I could come up with something that I liked? No way. A whole day down the tubes. I might… might be able to use what I’ve doing for a different effect if I’m lucky and probably only in part. On the bus ride home I thought of what I could do on Monday for the effect and it should work. If only I had thought of it this morning.

sigh…

Being creative for the vast majority of the day is hard. Thinking up new and creative ways to display what needs to be shown in game can really make you tired. Ah well… I hope it comes together next week. I still have lots to do before it’s release date. At least I was sable to finish my Roxanne pic at lunch. Boobies can perk up any day ^_^
