Nerding, Katamari and Minecraft. All the same beautiful things really.

Drawing


So, because I've been concentrating on my coursework I haven't been able to draw much of anything, so I'm going to show you one of my slightly older images of Taiga, from Toradora!
To get this image I did a rough tracing, then a rough couple of copies of said tracing, then did a neat one over the rough copies. This is so that I can get used to my graphics tablet. I need practice. The eyes however, I changed because of how I was feeling at the time. I feel like they say "Why?" in a hurt way. If I've succeed then you do too! :3
It's also under the name of Expression Switch on my DeviantART account.


Stuff :(


In other really sad news, Ryan Dunn, Jackass Star, died at about 3:30am (American time I assume.) in some kind of car accident.
It's a sad day for people everywhere as the entertainment he brought (and still brings, as Viva La Bam is something I watch often with friends.) was of near unmatched value. 


Nerding


There are certain things a nerd must know about to call themselves a nerd, without shame. These are usually in form of things like, having watched all of the Star Wars films, or understanding the storyline of Lord of the Rings.
I myself had a particularly nerdy weekend. I drank with friends and played Beautiful Katamari until 6:30am.


IT.
WAS.
AMAZING.

The Katamari games are simply amazing. The basics of the game are: Roll your Katamari around and pick up objects with it. This makes the Katamari grow to pick up more and more objects, until eventually you're picking up buildings, boats and cows tied to balloons in the air. 'Cause that's logical.
Seriously, if you haven't played this game yet, try and find a copy, I picked up a pre-owned one (Why anyone would EVER want to get rid of this game I will never know.) from a GAME store near my college. It's not expensive and it's the most surreal and fun experience you'll get out of a game so simplistic. It rivals Minecraft in my books, and I REALLY like Minecraft.


NYAN
Yes I made this, obviously not the first ever to be made ;)
Minecraft is another one of those games everyone just has to play.
Another really cheap game which is just amazing; you can do basically whatever you want in it. Explore, Create, Fight, Socialize, you name it, Minecraft has it.


But Hey, I'm not here to recommend games to you, I don't get paid for that ;)

    I hope you're happy.
