You know what, Dreamweaver, that’s fine. No, really. You just go ahead and not work at all. I don’t need you; I’ll just code everything in Wordpad and be all hardcorelike. CAUSE THAT’S HOW I ROLL. *pose*

*sobs quietly in the corner*

Professor Layton and the kickass game.

I can’t believe I haven’t said this already on this blog but if I achieve anything from this post it’s to make someone try out the Professor Layton game for the Nintendo DS; trust me, you will love it. That is, unless you’re allergic to any of the following: puzzles in which using your brain is actually quite frequently required; rediculously charming British gentlemen; top-hats; or mentions of tea.

It’s a game which uses simple animation with the most adorable art style, letting its simplicity stand out among all the games with all their bells and whistles and bishounen and whathaveyou. Okay, so some of the puzzles are so hard you want to pimp-slap the townsperson for making you solve a puzzle before they help you, and a lot of the time you (or, well, I did) end up making things far, far more complicated than they actually are and thus confusing yourself… but most of the puzzles are great fun. XD No, rly.

The first game doesnt have too much in the way of animation sequences but what few they have are kind of like watching old cartoons on TV. ;-; <3 I only hope that they use animations a lot more in the two sequels. The trailer for Layton 3 seems to be looking quite awesome though. *cannot f-ing wait, man* For now I have to be settled with Professor Layton and the Curious Village and Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box, the latter of which is still only available in Japanese.

OH, also, the music is awesome. *points to music player*

The one thing that’s a little dodgy are the British accents… But hey, what’s new?

There may be trouble ahead…

Ugh, whether this is related to the great RAID 0 error 2k8 I do not know, but certain programs are starting to sass me, refusing to work when I ask them to. OH THE HUMANITY. Dreamweaver, MSN, iTunes and Photoshop seem to be the main culprits, while everything else I use seems to be fine at the moment… lol fingers crossed plz.

HOWEVER. I totally got a call earlier from Somerfields about a possible job SO ALL IS NOT CRAP. I have to ring them back tomorrow afternoon sometime. 8D Here’s hoping I can get a job there because, srsly, 10 minutes’ walk away and probably not bad money better money than NO money. YESPLZ.


I’m safe…. for now.

The computer seems to be holding up for now, and, y’know, not exploding. D: A few things are starting to not work and the computer seems a little sluggish to me, but IDK. Problem is that I don’t actually know when the hard drive’s gonna konk out on me so I have to back up everything I do before I turn the computer off. Bah.

Hasn’t stopped me doing little doodles though, more specifically some chibichibis.

“A drive in a RAID 0 volume is failing.
Try to back up data immediately.”

FUCK NO YOU ARE THE WORST ERROR EVER.


Revamp!

September 26th, 2008, 01:18 . Filed under website.

So, I’ve given this blog/website a well-needed revamp after a rediculously long hiatus. I’ve decided to just collect everything on yuukomackay.com and have my personal blog here at tamayorihime. Y’know, bloggy stuff. XD I’m intending to do a complete overhaul on my web-design and artwork galleries, as well as a renovation of my photography website in the not too distant future, so watch this space! ;)

I’ve redone the music player to the right, again, with mostly Japanese songs. Also, the banner is randomly generated, and once I’ve made some more will feature art from some of my favourite anime and games, as well as my own artwork and photography. :D I have hi-res versions of most of the fandom images if anybody wants them, just drop me a line. :3

I’m pretty sure this goes without saying, but this site is still under heavy construction, so lots of things… don’t work. XD

EDIT: The random image thing works fine in IE but because of Firefox’s habit of caching things the banner won’t change unless you refresh the page a few times. Probably not a huge problem, since it’ll probably change with each visit, but eh, it’s irritating to know about the problem and not be able to do something about it. xP

Sekhmet

Finished product from this post where I said I was going to redraw some old shiz. :D Pretty chuffed with this overall, but again, I prefer the lineart. :C Need to try and improve my colouring so that at least I can be happy with my own stuff. XD Incidentally, her name is Sekhmet. I have no idea why I called her that, but it’s pretty. >.> XD

I totally listened to the Hyadain remixes as I drew this.

I am so in love with Hyadain’s game remix videos at the moment. <3

Also, currently working on a new project where I take old pictures I drew years ago and re-draw them to see how much I’ve improved (or not) over the time that’s passed. First up to be revamped is this piece of crap;

I remember being so proud of this when I finished it. D: Now it just brings SHAME. See how I just couldn’t be bothered to even draw her other foot? And like… her hand… No. Just…. no. So yes, going to revamp her with a new outfit and everything. So far I’ve done the lineart. Watch me now ruin the picture by attempting to colour it. xD

Yuzuki

:D Yay! Well, sort of. I was stupidly happy with this before I started to colour her. I suck ass when it comes to highlighting. Oh well, I’m as happy as I can be with it, I guess. >.> XD I’ll probably see if I can retouch it later or something because I know it’s going to bug me to hell and back.

Anyways, her name’s Yuzu…. just ’cause. :P

EDIT: AHAHAHA SUCK ON THAT, WORDPRESS. I OWN YOU, BITCH.

EDIT#2: I should probably elaborate on that… I was getting irritated because the archive pages wouldn’t show the whole post or the images within the posts. Finally managed to get it looking how I damn well want it to. HUZZA. >;D!
