More on my project. I am working on the cover page of an ambitious collection of short comics, probably done in manga style, and poor attempts at humor. I have the first one mapped out in my head and will try to get things in order soon, but the cover comes before anything else.

I kind of figured that's what you were going for in that statement, but the rain itself was really nice too. If I can get a clear day, or just cloudy day shot of a train on that same bridge, I'll be really happy cause the lines won't be blurred by fog and rain.
If you're talking about that piece of garbage that was on Sci-Fi (Sci-Fi Investigates), the other week, they were totally off base from the accounts of what went on. They didn't investigate correctly, and used the incorrect "facts" that were presented in the movie The Mothman Prophesies based on the book, rather than the book itself which contains much more credible and thorough information.
Sure, if you can, or want to do it digitally, by all means go for it. The media hasn't been specified for the very reason of not stifling the creative process. Different artists are more comfortable with different things. If you do it digitally though, take frequent rest breaks for your wrists. I don't need you doing any damage to yourself over a picture for me.

Not sure where I got the idea myself, but it's in my head and I can't draw it, so I'm asking others to draw it for me. It's all right if you're not comfortable with doing it.
Actually no, that's just the rain and fog making the picture hazy and clouded like that, add the distance between the camera and the train, and you get a lot of atmosphere in between. The power station is a good 20 miles off I think, it's not close enough to have that kind of effect on things.
Telemarketers are trying to worm their way around the FTC and FCC regulations regarding when and how they can call people, but people are getting smarter too. As for the roofers, they left a note on the door yesterday actually, so hopefully they won't be calling anymore at all, they don't really need to call anymore.
I'm not nearly as good a gardener as I could be, but I like to take care of the roses so they will bloom and make great photos.
As I lay the groundwork and get things going, I'll be posting more information about this project. This isn't going to be one of my secret offline projects. Anyway, things should start rolling with it soon enough. More details will come in the next couple days, I promise.

My title is, of course, referring to the 24 hour Spongebob marathon (the show is cute and all but who can stand to watch it for that long?) on Nickelodeon that ran all Thursday night and Friday.
Congratulations on the date. I've never seen or read The Taming of the Shrew, but it's supposed to be a good play, you won't be disappointed with it. And a good play is always nice to share with someone anyway, three years in theatre taught me that.
Is Thanksgiving coming up already? I'll have to get started putting things together for that.

I did get the panorama done, but as with all things it could be better. Because of the nature of optics, the images don't stitch together exactly the right way (you can see the seams and some of the features aren't correctly lined up). Next time I'm up there, I'll do a short video burst panorama and try to upload the clip somewhere. This image is too big for Photobucket, so I'm hosting in on Geocities. If you get an error from Yahoo!, try again in another hour, or another day to see the pic.
Sure thing, glad to help out. By all means quote me, and quote me loud. If you need or want to use my real name for the quote, pop me a PM and I'll hook you up with the right info. or I can give you the pseudonym I'm using on a project that's not public yet.

The idea is to see how other people see the same thing I've had stuck in my head for weeks now. It's just a fun little challenge to exercise the mind and drawing skills of anyone willing to try. There's nothing on the line except for a link on my page here when the work is done, but everyone gets that. If you don't feel comfortable drawing it, then don't do it.
That tunnel is only 353 feet long. I've been halfway through one that over 1000 feet long and has a ghost story attached to it, it's on the same trail. All told I've been in that tunnel (tunnel #13) six times, I've been in Tunnel #19 twice - it's the haunted tunnel), tunnel #12 six times, and tunnel #10 twice (it's cut from the rock, really nice but hard to get to).
I think we're meshing the movie and the games a little here. I never saw the movie (I don't watch horror films period), but I did see a lot of promo stuff for it, and have some key points to bring up. The Silent Hill movie is set in Taluca County WV, there is no such place (I can get you a list of all 55 counties if you want it). You've played the second Silent Hill game (My sister was showing me on her computer, which can handle it), so you might recognize that "county" as the name of the lake. At least the movie producers paid some homage to the games in that respect. As for the setting of the games, I'm not aware of any of the games specifically stating the location of the town as being in West Virginia, but I could be wrong.
I've only played the first one, and my sister showed me the second one, she can get through it in about 6 hours time, that's a straight through from start to finish. The first one has a fun thing to do, you can get a UFO ending if you play it right (I'm a proponent of extra-terrestrial existence, go figure I like that secret) I still haven't managed to get that ending yet though. My sister had to write down all the steps to do to get it, and I think I messed up already.

Yes, you did. That was Breakfast Squid's artwork you saw. I have to say I like that piece.
I just have this going to inspire new ideas, and creativity, I'm glad to hear you're on board for it. It'll be especially fun and challenging for you because you haven't done lizards before. I really like your art style, so I'm looking forward to seeing your take on the challenge, a lizardman soda jerk, but don't hurry through it, and handle your other obligations first.
