Well Shit... / Onset Periodic Transitional Syndrome (OPTS)
Posted 14 years ago
For those of you living under a rock, Deus Ex : Human Revolution came out recently...
...Now, after one play-though, my PC decides it hates the game...
So Deus Ex ran like a dream on relatively high graphics with crisp shadows, shiny details and all those lovely lighting effects; yeah I had the occasional movie glitch where it looked like a Monet rendition of the cyberpunk universe and it lagged like a bitch after playing the game non-stop for a whole day but nothing to say it wasn't going to load entirely!
I got right to the end, shut the game down as normal to go to sleep that night and ever since it's been unable to load!
No changes, no nothing aside completing the game, and the launcher is now telling me it 'Cannot activate Direct3D under the the current settings'...
I repeat, I've done fuck all to my PC since installing Deus Ex.
Direct X is installed PAST 9.0c the recommended version, so no driver problems.
ATI Radeon HD 5670 which slightly under recommended, but not below minimum spec, so it's not the card.
2X Intel® Core Duo CPU 2.66GHz, so a capable dualcore processor which has had no problems playing it before.
Over 500GB of free disk space, over X68 of minimum disk space.
Uninstalled, backed-up, reinstalled.
Am I missing something?! Why the fuck can't it run the 3D software? I've gone to DiretX and downloaded the driver AGAIN only to be told nothing needs to be done, I've turned all the specs down to the lowest they can go...
Other powerful games like Fallout New Vegas, Portal 2, Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 2, Metro2033, they all run FINE, as normal, NOTHING WRONG!
If it wasn't apparent I'm a bit narked off about the situation...
If the appearance of this godawesome game didn't give away why my art's been a bit slow recently (aside the constant barrage of things cropping up) then the fact I've had a few events occur that have changed my plan of action dramatically should explain my slowness.
Brick walls can be climbed over, and all these little mishaps are is brick walls. I'm trying to resume my normal routine and get back into the creative spirit.
~In other news~
Transitions are occurring in their numbers and I'm adjusting my plan to fit them.
I'm going to see mah hunnyluvvar 
Zaru666 soon for a week before she starts her college course!
(Paws crossed for you love behind you all the way with the course)
I start university in a month's time... Oh joy?
Moving into my new house sometime later in September, may be deprived of the internet for a few days so that should force me to do some drawing that day...
...
......
...
...Or just play more games.
Other than that nothing to report bar a few pieces of art in the works; me and Sharkie are moving towards firing up our collab' account for commissions soon so keep an eye on

I am so excited for the new Magic The Gathering set!

I've been kind of inactive recently ~ I know.
I'm annoyed at myself for the lack of art that I've released recently.
That's not to say I've been sat on my hands for the past few weeks.
Most of my recent art has been for my mate; little things that I've drawn just for her.
Aside that there's a lot on the horizon for me recently.
The game plan for the next year.
Dealing with money issues and making sure the following years are as stress free as possible.
Preparing for oncoming events.
Setting myself up.
I've also had my good pandabrah ShiroKuroi over these past few days.
Been nice to chill with him for a bit; the world's slung some shit at both of us recently so getting what is for me my first sort of holiday in ages was a welcome break.
My dearest comes back tomorrow
I'm pretty sure that'll perk up my mood for drawing again!
As for now, things will be slotting into place dependent on what others are doing and when they're available.
Working on art in the background as ever ~ should have some new pieces up soon enough.
It's not easy trying to build a clear view of your horizons.
Even when we get the best and brightest into one room there are still unforeseeable consequences.
But that's all a part of life isn't it? We evolve to adapt.

Posted 14 years ago Recently, things have been getting on my nerves a bit...
And I mean like REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES... I've not been the happiest of wolfies recently ~ every time I get a break to relax, take in the scenery, process events that have occurred I get another person nagging me to get a job, reminding me of something I'd rather forget, putting up another obstacle in my life.
Even a week away from home wasn't enough, I get back and get a shitstorm thrown at my face.
I know life's hard at all turns, but give me a fucking break!?
I don't focus on drawings very well when I'm stressed, in fact it's the WORST time for me to draw because I'm just so far from in the mood for knuckling down for a few hours to work on a piece ~ my imagination is also shot, I find it so freaking hard to be creative when my mind's blanking from an overwhelming number of pressurizing events weighing on my mind.
I have quite a bit to think about, and unfortunately I do tend to take the weight of the world on my shoulders.
All the background noise and buzzing of people in my ear lead me to perform a few actions I'd rather forget I did ~ a few things came out that I'm forgetting were ever said.
Overall, I'm moving on from a very stressful period and want it to stay that way.
I can only apologize for the lack of progress on any art, a few of you have the finished pencil sketches of your work but digital has been at an all-out stand-still for a while now.
Sorry again folks, I'll get on it as soon as I can~

Day 15 – Something you love about yourself
Day 16 – Your first kiss
Day 17 – Your favorite memory
I've got quite a few, I don't normally like to say 'this is my absolute favorite' of anything!
Everytime I get to visit Zaru666 I get some new favorites; our trips to the Sealife Center, snuggles on the couch, or general hilarity arising when we're sat there drawing or playing a game together!
Another favorite would have to be stargazing with griffyhusky, we have the occasional late-night trip out into the wild depths of the Welsh countryside and one particular time we found an open field to lay down in and look up at the sky discussing all sorts of stuff until deep into the morning. The fact we stayed out so late we were too tired to drive the several miles back to Cardiff made it all the more memorable (and painful, you'll know what I mean if you've ever tried to sleep in a car...)
I'd also have to say my first few furmeets were pretty fantastic memories too ~ up to around August last year most friends I'd had seemed to just 'go off' me and drift away, but after meeting the Southampton lot and being accepted into their circle of friends I had some lovely memories come from that: fun at the furmeets sitting around talking about random stuff, playing Left4Dead, going around each others; house and having a good time.
All good memories, all my favorite ones because they stick with me just how good they are~
Day 18 – Your favorite birthday
Definitely has to be my 19th (this year) where I got to spend a weekend with my lovely mate for the first time
There were a lot of 'firsts' that weekend: my first convention (we went to the MCM Expo. in Telford), my first proper kiss with someone, first chance to lay down with someone and not be told to get off right away, first chance to properly tell someone I love them.
All in all it was the best birthday to date ~ I did end up spending more money on others than myself but I was happy to do so! Not every day you go to a convention is it?
drew me the most wonderful card (and a highly amusing bookmark concerning my macro tendencies) ~ she also bought me a wolfy plushie to mark the occasion who's ALWAYS stayed with or near me at all times since
Day 19 – Something you regret
My first boyfriend...
Who emotionally tortured me, made me feel absolutely fucking useless, built a world up around our relationship then sent me hurtling back to earth by casting me out and cursing my name for no sound reason.
I regret letting myself get taken in to the world me and him made, blinding me from what was going on right in front of me.
I'll never forgive you; you horrid, wretched bastard.
Day 20 – Your morning routine
I usually wake up quite quickly, typically 6-8 hours after I went to sleep (rarely any longer than that)
First order of business is usually making sure my room is ventilated for the day then go and take a shower.
I find showers essential, they give me time to properly wake up and let me sort out my godawful internal thermostat (a rather unfortunate trait I inherited from my mother where I need to cool down greatly in a morning or spend the entire day feeling too warm).
After that it's breakfast, a bit of web browsing, checking my phone and sending a morning kiss to my mate

Life Update
So now is back home up north and I'm back home down south.
3 hours isn't too long but feels like an ocean when it separates you and your partner~
But I'm not here to moan about, I SHALL PERSEVERE!
( also we'll see one another again soon enough )
So now it's onto a week for family and drawings, seeing my dear old dad for a few days this week in which I'll be doing some sketches for work I owe - then it's back home and onto digital work until next week when I go see mah draggy bro wolfix-1x for a week or so!
Zaru666 and I will both be on holiday that week so don't expect a huge amount from us during that time (though I will work on sketches in my free time).
Uni's over, now's a time to relax and focus on my art~
(Or at least attempt to...)

BEST OF LUCK TO griffyhusky ON HIS FINAL EXAM TODAY!
30 Days (Day 13 + Day 14 + Day 15) + Update
Posted 14 years ago30 Days of Self-Exploration
!!!THREE DAYS AT ONCE FUCK YEAH!!!
Day 01 - Introduce yourself
Day 02 - First love
Day 03 – Your parents
Day 04 – Your music
Day 05 – Your definition of love
Day 06 – Your hobbies
Day 07 – Your best friend
Day 08 – A precious item
Day 09 – Your beliefs
Day 10 – An inspiration
Day 11 – Your siblings
Day 12 – What’s in your bag
Day 13 – Your mode of transportation
Foot mainly, I don;t have a car yet. My good friend griffyhusky acts as the huskytaxi most of the time (which I am very thankful for), other than that I'll normally use a bus or a train for longer distances but if it's under an hour or so away and I'm not feeling tired or lazy i normally walk everywhere.
Day 14 – Where you live
I live in one of three places:
1. Portsmouth/Gosport/Fareham
I was born in Fareham and where I endured a rather regrettable primary education, it was my first house where I met some of my first friends and lost most of them because they're a bunch of self-centered pricks. Long & short I'm glad I moved out of there~ My father lives in Portsmouth - my mum and stepfather live in a small town between Fareham and Gosport named Lee-On-The-Solent. I spend most of my time at my mum's when away from uni going to see my dad on occasion because he works away from home most of the time. It was near by I again endured another agonizing two years of secondary education where again friends left me like the plague for no reason ~ I got out of college and have never looked back though my house in Lee-on-the-Solent will always be my home with my parents.
2. Cardiff
For those of you just tuning in you won't know that my life up in university-provided student accommodation was hell due to the cock-sucking bastards and bitches I had to live with, having parties at 3am and being generally drunk, loud and aggravating. I wouldn't say I feel like I LIVE in Cardiff as it's more the location of my university than a place I choose to live ~ Hopefully the new house I'll be staying in from September onwards will have more happy memories.
3.Kingswinford
I do consider my mate's home to be a sort of by-extension my home too ~ while I don't have any permanent place there and no room full of my crap but over the time we've been together and from the collective time I've stayed in the annex room I really do feel that sense of 'at home' being there, no longer the feeling of being a stranger in someone else's house but more just a part of the scenery, not standing out for any reason in particular.
Day 15 – Something you love about yourself
I'm not my own biggest fan but something I do pride myself in is my ability to keep my own opinion. One part of me that's developed is my own opinion on something; I wouldn't really call myself stubborn or immoveable because I do try to bend to situations to lower the chance of conflict but having a core of solid morals that's gradually solidifying into a permanent state of ideology is something I do love about myself.

My synaesthesia~
It's a condition I have where my auditory senses are crosswired with my visual response. In short, I hear a sound and my brain produces an image from it much like how light we process light into images. It can come up with some rather interesting images, mixed in with my over-active imagination I've came up with quite a few rather fantastical designs from it.

I would assume this is talking spiritually, I'll answer as so.
I don't beleive in a fixed religion (though I'm fascinated by all the demons and beasties from a wide variety).
I beleive in higher powers, in things beyond man's mind and in other planes of existance.
Whether or not planet Earth and the human race were a product of natural processes or some omnipitiant force shouting 'let there be light' is something I leave up for debate ~ I beleive in evolution however perhaps there is an unseen hand that guides things in a certain direction.
Our reality is an amazing, fucked-up, crazy thing that no single person can acclaim to understand. Having worked around accademics for the past year I've seen the arrogant nature of those who think they're 'in the know' as it may be put and just how unwilling most people are to challenge the core beliefs of who they are in the universe and the very nature of existance.
'Smart' people are dumb, there may be something more, and I wish people would be a bit more free thinking.
I guess that's my religion, the school of Free Thought.

Day 07 – Your best friend
I'd have to say that my best friends are;
I can't ever say I've been one for JUST one best friend, mainly because I'm crap at categorizing.
While there are others who are close to this lot I speak to these four on a regular basis.
We share similar interests, have interesting discussions and are a general laugh to be around.
And as soppy as this sounds I consider
To be one of my best friends as well.
As much as she's my mate we were friends first and love came out from that friendship.
So I still consdier her a best friend, yeah perhaps maybe the best~
but that's just because I'm in love with her
Day 08 – A precious item
My wolf pendant ~ only had it for a year but I rarely EVER take it off!
It's a little wolf's head with a gothicy/tribal lightning pattern below it~
The chain is crappy, it's cut an ex below his eye when we were being intimate, I've almost lost it on various occasions due to the catch coming loose but it's always came back to me no matter how close it's been to being gone forever.
What does it mean to me? It's a little reminder of who I am when I feel lost.
I made my fursona as a sort of projection of inner confidance, and when that confidance fades or is knocked I just need to remind myself of the wolf within and all seems that little bit better!
(besides it looks kickass too)

To Do List
As the summer's coming up and I'll have more free time figured I'd post up what needs to be done by me art-wise.
This list isn't in any order because I do drawings as and when the ideas and motivation comes to me so don't get all buttshurt if:
1) Your art isn't on the list: I have most likely forgotten it (Just note me and all will be will with the universe)
2) It's not being done RIGHT THIS SECOND, seriously it's not cool to pester someone... and it's impatient *shot for being a hypocrite*

<3<3<3 Oh I love my music so badly <3<3<3
I've got a broad range of likes from ambient drone to hardcore ~ however I'm very choosy about what I listen to.
Never really had a preferred genre of music, at the moment my mate's got me into some Lapfox (hardstyle/hardcore/dubstep/ambient) stuff; I currently keep up with the record labels Ultimae (psychill/downtempo), Innervisions (minimal/experimental/house/tribal), Fluid Audio (experimental/ambient/modern classical) but I've a soft spot for most electronic music from the '90s, today's just doesn't seem to compare half the time.

Day 03 – Your parents
That's a hard one ~ my relationship with my parents is a broken thermostat, sometimes hot, sometimes cold, sometimes somewhere between the two.
My parents divorced way back so far that I can't remember the time they were together. Never had an OVERLY close relation with them because of various circumstances seeing me become a bit of a lone wolf for most of my life. Initially there was a lot of conflict but over the years that's died down and eventually
My dad works for IBM overseeing projects, he wasn't around much for me as a child but I've kept a good relation with him over the years.
My mum used to be a head IT technician (strange for a technophobe eh?), she's been more the emotional support of my life but caused a lot of distress at the same time.
My step dad... me and him don't always see eye to eye but that's another story entirely.
Overall I'd say I've got a good relation with my parents, we still talk and they're still there to support me in my hours of need.

Posted 14 years ago ShiroKuroi said to me that I broke the laws of probability today...
After being woken by dumb-asses at 3 in the fucking morning I miraculously managed to have two hours to revise before my exam today. Got on the early bus to head off to this church/place/hall/thing in the middle of nowhere where the uni had to accommodate space from to give us a bloody exam
...and half way down the road the bloody thing broke down...
Yes I was stranded in the middle of a motorway, not enough time to walk the distance and make it into the exam promptly nor enough time for it to be counted as 'I couldn't make it', for a moment me and the bus full of people were in the schrodinger's state of fucked and not fucked all at once.
Thankfully the other bus turned up! And whisked us off to a land of- OH GOD WHY CAN'T I JUST NOT DO EXAMS?!
...Simultaneous good/bad luck...
...I think I broke physics today...
So that's Plant Biology out the way, no more vascular transport systems for me!
~Five exams down, one more to go~

Zaru666
She's been the first to return love to me, first to make me feel like I'm special to her and like she cares back. My Sharkie makes me feel wanted, worthy, and she understands me in all the things that go wrong and we make it through all the bad times making the good times all that much better.
(All times are good with you though <3)
Love you forever sharkie, always and forever!

Posted 14 years agoEXAM SEASON IS UPON US!
PRAISE CTHULU!
So again... another slow period ~ this time due to stress and people being general knobheads (excuse the language peeps, it's the truth). I dunno, during exams I tend to shun drawing for other things on the in between, I've got a lot nearly finished but it's just getting past that final hurdle at the moment I don't have time to!
Little life update: got to take on our first proper date the other week <3<3<3 much delicious curry was consumed and a very full-up sharkie was walked home for more snugs and kisses <3 Can't wait to see my beautiful shark again soon ~ she means the bloody world to me <3
Speaking of upcoming things, summer's here soon and that means free time... Won't say what I plan to do yet though, you'll all have to wait and see!
Two more exams to go folks, then I'm off until September from Friday 3rd of July onwards!!

.:OH GOD WHERE HAVE THE LAST FEW DAYS OF MY LIFE GONE?!:.
Minecraft... that's where!
That lovely cuboid little menagerie of creative fun has consumed my life too...
Is it bad I've now had a nightmare with creepers in it?
Life Update!
[Announcer Voice!] Last we left our hero he had just split up from university to return home in the lovely company of his mate Zaru666 for a three-week period of rest and respite!
So we had a fun time, it was awesome to see my lovealicious shark and have her back at my house for a week <3
[ALERT!: Skip this sentence if you don't want to read mushy stchuf]
Really I couldn't ask for a better, more caring, more understanding mate than her <3 You're the light of my life sweetie and I'm proud to have you as my mate <3
.:And now an intermission for all of you suffering from sugar overdose:.
ShiroKuroi joined us for a few days (would have been shorter but we had bus complication in the form of the final bus NEVER ACTUALLY COMING, we waited near on an hour... You never did light that cigarette did you?). During the first week we all got to experience the magic that is Portal 2! OHSHITWAT that game makes me sooooo happy <3<3<3 Me and the panda blitzed co-op mode (I had to play P-body and I WAS DAMN PROUD OF IT) but holy mother of- I did enjoy all the complex new puzzles valve threw in for us ~ overall Portal 2 was worth the wait in this wolf's eyes!
Shiro's exploits on Amnesia: The Dark Decent were also laugh-worthy, for those of you who didn't see the livestream of his gurning facial gymnastics in response to ooggidieboogidies popping up out the Lovecraftian-styled wood-work go check out the streams!
http://www.livestream.com/shiroshitshimself
(Background entertainment of random shouts of the word 'buttsex' from me and my shark <3)
(Guest appearances by Storm the husky plushie and Jorj the bullshark plushie)
Coming up to the end of the week Shiro was on his way home and we two were setting off up to the midlands for a few days at Sharkie's house!
It was an awesome few days of lounging around with my lovely shark <3<3<3 much drawing fun was had!
Hated to leave... but when I got back my dad had rebuilt my PC leaving it running smoother than ever! FUCK YOU VISTA AND 7 I'M STILL HANGING ONTO MY OLD XP WORKHORSE!
Shiro joined me again for a few more nights of awesome random funtimes! After which I had to wave my friends and house goodbye to go back to university....
*SIGH*
So now with exams looming overhead and the only solace being the local furs and the promise of seeing my shark soon I cracking down with revision mingled in with bursts of gaming and drawing.
Speaking of drawing, I've actually got things to upload!
"Oh what?!" you say!
Yes it's true I've finally got some new, finished artwork to upload! So keep your eyes peeled and senses keen for the new stuff!
Well that's it for the moment folks! Hope you're all well & look out for more sporadic updates!
*Howls up at the sky* Arwooo!

Celebrate chums! This is a glorious occasion!
This also means I'm going back home for the Easter hollidays ~ to see AALLLL you lovely lot back in the Hampshire area!
Also the lovealicious will be joining me!

I may not be able to prize myself from her side...
...stronger people than me have tried and failed.
For those of you owed sketches ~ keep checking your shouts/my sketches journal, they'll be done soon I swear!
For those of you owed art I'll let you know as and when it's done.
Hope you're all well out there! I have to go celebrate some how.
