Tonight I was going though my PSD’s and I found this… I wonder why I never finished it?

If I had to pick one thing that I need to improve on it would be hair. I feel like I draw the same hair all the time. It really bugs me that I can’t think of other hair styles to draw up. I know, I know… there is a whole google out there for me to search and get ref from. I just seem to draw my favorite kinds of styles rather then branch out. I think I need to maybe do some doodles to during the day on blank heads to try out new things.

If I had to pick a second one, it would be breasts. I don’t feel that the ones I draw look soft or squishy enough. Nor do they have the weight that real boobs have. Some thing else to work on I guess.

What do you need to improve on?

Sort of.  Looks like rom hackers have hacked the NES rom for Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode and restored some in game nudity and the proper Nazi plot line.  It’s no surprise that things change in video games when they get localized from one country to the next.  Well, in the North American version of this title, the main character was an assassin up against the Derk Empire rather then the Nazi’s like in the Japanese version.  Damn Nazi’s!

Well, in addition to that, the player get the opportunity to bed female operatives but lacked any actual nudity and only a silhouette from a hotel room.

My friends… no loner.  With this patch you can see that in the Japanese version the player actually got to see pixel boobs to go with that scene.

I’m siting here trying to get star ranks on all the cups and I’m about ready to throw the game out the window.  I’ve actually made it to the 150cc cups but have hit the wall.  During the races I’m slammed with POW blocks, blue shells, and lighting bolts CONSTANTLY!!  I’m not even safe from green shells, which might as well be red shells with the aim the computer has.  To top things off, when I get hit, every kart the passes me will bump in to me causing me to get pushed off the track.  I’ve never played a Mario Kart that was so unforgiving!

I’m not the kind to back down from a good challenge.  In fact, I love things that make me think and tackle them from another angle to try and win, but this feels unfair to me.  I’m not even trying to get triple star ranks.  I just want a least one star so I can unlock the last bike, and character.  GRRRR!!!!!

What really grinds my teeth is that I play on line and others with triple star ranks and I wonder “What the hell am I doing wrong?!!” o_O

Any tips?

I was going to wait until next week to post this new picy.  You know… to spread them out a bit.  But she’s just too darn cute to keep all kept away on my laptop.  I think she’s so excited and proud of her new jewelry that she can’t help but ant to show it off.  Is this really what it’s like when you get a new piercing

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy.  I wonder if she has any other piercings?

The Tokyo Game Show has just passed and while they showed tons of cool games for the next year there was one that caught my eye.  GalGun.
