I like to pretend that they’re actually stranded on a tropical island. Not starring in shitty games.

Can you name them all?

EDIT: Also someone is poor and is selling our doujin on Craigslist. Little do they realize they can get signatures for FREE if they buy it from our store (maybe).


Nice things!

Hi! I think some of you guys have noticed a bit of a change around here. This is what’s up:

New layout!
It’s not a huge renovation or anything, but we cleaned things up a bit. The main thing is that the old layout actually broke in Explorer and some other browsers, but it should be okay now. There are pages at the top, and we’ve redone the forum because I guess the old one had some security issues or something. That brings us to…

A store!
There’s a PayPal store now! We’re still in the middle of figuring how this works exactly, but it’s looking good so far. Right now, we’ve got a pretty small stock of everything because it’s just our AX leftovers, but we’ll print another run of everything if this sells out (we’ll announce when that happens so you guys know it’ll take a little while longer to get and ship stuff). I’m not sure how long shipping takes and it looks like we’re getting orders from all over the world, so please be patient. You can email Persona or I if there are any problems.

A new URL?
We bought www.visublog.com! It’s just a redirect to our current URL, but I think this makes us the official visublog of the internet. Hopefully that’s a little easier to remember!

I think that’s it for now!

EDIT: It looks like Nice Girls Nice Cats is sold out already? We’ll look into getting a second run of them this week, so we’ll let you know when that happens.

designed (but didn't yet implement) 'obstacle/barriers', one for each function, which would block access without the player having that function. i don't want to do *too* much of it, for the reasons discussed here, but a certain degree is necessary and enhances exploration, particularly in the starting / central areas

(22:37:51) RinkuHero: without thinking about it
(22:37:58) RinkuHero: like if i type something here
(22:38:00) RinkuHero: you don't have to read it
(22:38:03) RinkuHero: but you probably will
(22:38:15) Elisa: ha
(22:38:20) Elisa: i probably WONT
(22:38:21) Elisa: hahaha
(22:38:22) Elisa: j/k
(22:38:35) RinkuHero: what was that
(22:38:36) RinkuHero: i didn't read it
(22:38:39) RinkuHero: so i don't know what you just said
(22:39:04) Elisa: I said, "WHY DO YOU THINK THIS WOMAN FROM EL SALVADOR HAS NOT GOTTEN ANY LENDERS FOR HER BAKERY YET?"
(22:39:13) RinkuHero: link me and i'll check
(22:39:33) Elisa: http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about&id=122371&_tpos=1&_tpg=1
(22:39:45) RinkuHero: she did
(22:39:48) RinkuHero: get 75$
(22:39:58) Elisa: oh, i guess i need to refresh
(22:39:59) RinkuHero: but also the true answer is here:
22:40
(22:40:02) RinkuHero: Date Listed: Jul 17, 2009
(22:40:05) RinkuHero: so it was just listed today
(22:40:08) Elisa: lots are listed today
(22:40:11) RinkuHero: true
(22:40:17) RinkuHero: maybe the answer is
(22:40:21) RinkuHero: she looks old
(22:40:29) RinkuHero: and people like loaning to young and healthy-looking people
(22:40:32) Elisa: yeah, i do
(22:40:34) RinkuHero: people who won't die before they pay it back
(22:40:34) RinkuHero: haha
(22:40:35) Elisa: but i'll loan to her
(22:40:58) Elisa: there were probably like, "You know, mami, you can get money from other people around the world, and pay them back, with no interest."
(22:41:05) Elisa: and she was all, "Whaaa?!"
(22:41:26) Elisa: so they were like, "Stand by your ovens; we'll take a picture and put it on the internet."
(22:41:32) Elisa: and she was all, "Intereta?"
(22:41:44) Elisa: and they were like, "No, INTERNET! You know computers?"
(22:41:55) Elisa: and she was like, "I'm afraid of robots. Keep them out of my shop."
(22:42:17) Elisa: so she said, "you take picture of my oven. I stand away over here."
(22:42:20) Elisa: and they got her anyway
(22:42:34) Elisa: Then they were like, "Booya, abuelita! Booya!"

bak 2 skool
[info]krisgoat


I was waiting till I was 100% certain I was going before I made my huge public post but I got my acceptance letter in the mail today so thats a pretty clear sign that Im...

GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!

I have always taken pride in being a self taught artist but I have realized that there are holes in my knowledge that are required to get a super good job that I want working as an illustrator. I dont want to be self employed anymore. I want to work for a huge cool company that I love like Hallmark or Disney something. Basically I want to earn a decent living using my artistic skills.

After many months of searching I have decided on the Academy Of Art University in San Fransisco. http://www.academyart.edu/ I wont be moving because I am able to take online classes witch I prefer anyways. I am going for a bachelors degree in illustration. Later after a break I might go back to get a masters but that will be way in the future!

So far Ive completed my admissions application and FAFSA and next Ill get my classes organized and start in early SEPTEMBER!!!! Its coming on fast too so Im trying to get everything organized in time witch includes finishing up some of my half finished art pieces I have laying around.

Im getting extremely nervous and anxious about getting started. However I am also terribly exited and happy to start school, learn all I can, start my stable career, and about buying cute school supples! LOL



Im super prepared with a Lisa Frank set of binder, papers, sticky notes and pens. (and stickers hehe) I also got a panda USB flash card and ballerina princess lap desk. I know they seem kinda cheesy but this kinda stuff makes me super cheerful witch will really help me get through tough times in school! I wont be disappearing ether so dont worry! I will be posting my school adventures and projects here on LJ and Twitter so everyone can follow along!

So here we go with a new chapter in life!!!!

Эмблема: чертенок на майке
[info]shultes wrote in [info]illustrators
Детская хоккейная команда очень нуждается в помощи.



Нам по семь лет и мы очень хотим хорошо играть в хоккей и усердно тренироваться. У нас для этого есть всё. Нету только красивой эмблемы на майках. Называется наша команда "Воргашорец" болельщики именуют нас "Чертята". И поэтому мы хотим чтобы на груди у нас на майках был нарисован красивый чертенок. А пока нам приходится выступать в майках наших товарищей и соперников, хорошо что они не жадничают и дают нам свою форму.
Помогите пожалуйста нам его нарисовать.

Если мы обратились не в то сообщество, пожалуйста перенаправьте этот пост по правильному адресу.

The Strange High House in the Mist, Page 5
[info]khyungbird
Another page of The Strange High House in the Mist is now online. This one was drawn on a kitchen table from 10 PM to 6 AM while periodically collapsing onto the page, despite my best efforts and two cups of coffee with soy milk and agave nectar. So there's some panels which need some revision, but...... anyway, for now, it's done, and the next page will go up on July 24th!

so I got a load of The Auditor magazine scans from the 1960s to 2000 odd... weird seeing how Scientology evolved. In the late 60s/early 70s it was almost hip, and the mag was full of pictures of young people looking groovy playing the sitar in front of pictures of unicorns and such whilst talking about how far out their auditing was, maaan. Then gradually you see it become more fixated on parting people from their money, and once Elron disappears and DM gets in you see it begin to take its modern shape as a bureaucracy of the deluded.

I'd been inking this side character in a couple of panels now, the kindly professor Hollar. All the while I couldn't help but get the nagging feeling that he looked vaguely familiar. It's struck me a few days ago.... HE LOOKS LIKE THE KFC MAN!!!! XD

Fehed vehemently denies this of course. I for one think it's not too surprising that my character design for "nice, grandfatherly old man" came out like this....  I was brought up on the whole visual propaganda of the kindly "someone's nice  grandpa" Col. Sanders telling us to eat his artery-clogging, waist-enhancing Southern Fried Chicken. Fun for the family and all that. ;D

First time post, have been watching for a while though. So many lovely outfits that you all have!

 
3 Outfits )

The new shirts
[info]destroyerzooey

Scott shirts, originally uploaded by radiomaru.


Debuting at San Diego Comic-Con next week! They're $20! They will be available online (at onipress.com) afterwards.

The "LOVE" shirt is a limited edition -- when they sell out, that's it. The Scott Pilgrim one will be around for a little while.


Smash Table Tennis (NES)

Review: Smash Table Tennis

Sometimes, you just have to wonder who at Nintendo is in charge of the Virtual Console game selection. Perhaps it's one of those people who, when unable to decide what to do, throws a dart at a dartboard with possible "options" on it in order to come to a decision. That almost has to be ..


Happy Day :-)

Last year MCM (the people behind Expo) ran a really cool event called Japan Ex, which was a 2 day event of Japanese culture ranging from games of Go to Taiko drumming to pokemon thrown downs to sword displays to Lolita fashion shows. As it wasn't the standard wee-a-boo thing it failed to get enough people through the door to allow for a second event this year (even though everyone who actually went through the door thought it was fantastic) so the 09 show got cancelled.

However (and this is where the story really starts) I just found out that MCM have finally given into the endless cries of 'please!' and 'DO IT!' to put a load of JapanEx into the October Expo of this year. So not only does this mean people like me get to enjoy talks / displays covering a ton of Japanesse culture and history but the screaming kids might get to have a look at it as well, thus increasing the chances of it happening again. yeah!!
