Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

o.o Mr Frog and my girlfriend share a birthday!?

Oh also, Talvien, apparently you intimidate me. I tried to record an audiobook version of your most recent chapter and I kept blanking out, getting tongue-tied, and stuttering. Not to mention choking on words. That's rare. And it's not really because I'm bad at reading aloud, I did excellently in our class's recitation of Othello. ( I make an excellent Iago. )

  Garett likes Vanya too, doesn't he? Jeez, she must be quite attractive- Reudh, Urist...  I pity any guy who gets in her way.

Happy Birthday Mr Frog!

Also, it's hard to think of cruel twists when you've been amusing yourself with sane, happy videos...

[Aseaheru]

Happy date of emergence into this world!

Happy birthday Mr Frog! May you enjoy another year of being everyone's favourite venom-tongued critic!

(And everyone but this is the most recent)

Thank you. And I think I need to get on that last part; it's been a long time since I've crushed someone's dreams.

You're welcome to my work if you can find it.

Finally done with the first (and last) trimester of Architecture, so I'll actually have time to write (and draw, maybe) again.

[Talvieno]

Architecture? I envy you. >.> There was a time when I would've given anything to go to school for that. lol


And... hmm. I know I mentioned an update a few days ago, but I got... sidetracked... with a different project. You may have noticed I mentioned glowwhales again in the last chapter. At some point I decided, "why not make a model?" and it's been siphoning off my free time. I may post pictures later if anybody's interested. I need to get back to work on the story, though.

[Lolfail0009]

Trust me, Talvi, Architecture is not for everyone. I found the entire trimester oppressively toxic, and it was literally Year 1 Trimester 1.

[Talvieno]

I read through a college architecture course book growing up - I greatly enjoyed it, tried making some of my own blueprints - I seized on 3d modeling as soon as I had access to something I could do it with and tried making houses and landscaping just for the fun of it. I even have a blog post somewhere with a bunch of model buildings I made... I really like architecture. The only reason I'm not pursuing it anymore is because I don't have any real experience, whereas I have experience in other areas. Like modeling. Or programming.

I'm in favor of pictures because why the hell not.

Only logical.

'kay, so. Glowwhale: Jellyfish/Whale/Squid cross. It pulls water in through its mouth and shoots it out the back as a source of propulsion, using its fins to steer. (I did a lot of research as I was inventing this creature. lol) The tentacles gather and conduct stray electricity, as a source of "food". It's an abandoned Parasol genetic experiment. Also, their colors change similar to that of a cuttlefish, and they glow like deep-sea creatures. They don't need air like whales do, either, and aren't mammals.

I'm not satisfied with the shape yet, or the pictures, but... here you go. I canceled the last image before it was done, which is why it looks grainy on the right. It's okay, because the important part is on the left - it shows the detailing on the glowwhale's skin close up.

(And yes, I repurposed my old shuttlecar model for this.)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Finally, if anybody can think of a better name for it than "glowwhale", I'm all ears. I've received quite a bit of flak from my brothers about the whole concept, so I wouldn't be overly surprised if I got it from here, too.

[Splint]

... Wow, those things are a hell of a lot weirder looking than I was expecting.
