Hello peeps!
These aren't the pictures I usually post on Flickr, I know. I'm here to only bring a small update that I am still walking on the surface of this earth and suffering alongside in this unbearable summer heat. After a year of being inactive on Flickr due to RL projects, I can safely say I'm working on a few things for SL that soon will see the light of day so stay tuned! For now, few minute 3AM touch ups it is or my friends won't leave me be if I don't post these.
Not sure if it's worth posting befores but eh; May as well.
This post isn't about photography....obviously:-)). In fact, I didn't even take any of these shots. It's just to give a bit of an update as you have all been so supportive. This first photo is the reason I didn't get far when I took off. Got stuck at my brother's for 2 nights (he took the top photo) because of a blizzard!!! Turned out well as I got to spend New Year's eve with two of my favourite people and their friends.
I had no problems crossing the border as I had observed all the rules about fruit and meat. Apparently Canadian fruit and meat is forbidden!!! It hasn't killed me yet! The only thing I was questioned about was the mysterious thing in my freezer wrapped up. Was a snowball for Fred (Darby and me) which has since melted when I had problems with my fridge...sorry Fred.
I made it to Huntsville Alabama after spending 3 nights in Walmart parking lots. I'm officially white trash now!! I didn't see much of the states I drove through but do have some observations from the road. Ohio has more damn dead deer on the roadsides than I've ever seen, all in various states of decay. I guess Canadians scoop up that road kill real fast!! Cheap meals. Kidding...road crews do.
Kentucky and Tennessee have a lot of rolling hills and I drove through a lot of dense fog in Tennesee.
What the hell is with the weird names in Kentucky. I was worried they have some fetish for licking. I only stopped once for fuel just in case. There's a Salt Lick, a Blue Lick Springs, a Knob Lick and even a state park called Big Bone Lick. I kid you not. You couldn't make this up---check a map. A flickr friend also pointed out one I missed......Dick Lick Springs!!! Honest!!!
It was getting really old not having running water so I was thrilled to finally arrive in Huntsville Alabama and hook up to water etc. It wasn't exactly that easy as my rig had been winterized with anti-freeze so the lines wouldn't freeze so had to flush them first. I was quite proud of myself when I backed that sucker into my campsite first shot. The "good old boys" who were watching, burst out in applause and one told me I had "impressed this country boy". Almost everyone in the campsite had two names. I honestly met a Billy Bob, a Sarah Faye and a Tommy Roy. I thought about adding my middle name to mine while there:-)). I was really looking forward to staying put for a few days. I met up with my friend Wes (BamaWester) and did dinner and I got a great tour of the area. It rained practically every damn day I was here and my campsite was like a swamp!! On my second day there I was awakened EARLY with someone banging on the side of my motorhome telling me I had to evacuate the park QUICKLY!!! The Tennessee river had spilled it's banks and was flooding the campground. I was told I had 5 minutes to get out. 5 minutes isn't enough time to unhook from electricity, water etc., put everything away to get ready to move, hook up my jeep and get dressed. So I was unhooking in my pj's getting soaking wet (still raining) and running around trying to throw things wherever they would stay put. A nice guy took my jeep out to higher ground while I prepared the motorhome. I insisted I was getting dressed first. I was NOT going to drive out of there in wet pj's!! I was told not to slow down going through the water or I would block everyone else from escaping. No pressure!! Was a bit scary when water was coming in under my door while driving out. Anyway, got out and had to relocate to another campsite which was dryer anyway but it was a HUGE pain in the ass. My very first campsite, and I get evacuated!! I hope it isn't an omen of things to come. Mike laughed his ass off at me as he said he's been doing this for 3 years and never had to evacuate a campsite.
I told Wes this and I mean it. They call Canadians polite but we have nothing on people from this area. I've met two very different kinds of people here, the country folk and the highly educated sophisticated type but they are all extremely polite and helpful. Lots of Southern hospitality here:-)).
Mike arrived (mikejonesphoto) and spent a few days which was great. He was good enough to check out a few problems I've had with the motorhome and I enjoyed seeing him and his dogs. We had a great visit. Drank too much, laughed a lot and caught up. It was a lot of fun. We got together with Ann (Amabile) and Wes for shooting on Friday which luckily was the only nice day we've had. Thanks again Wes for a great day....I'm thankful there were other things on the menu at the restaurant besides raw oysters!! Always reminds me of snot!
That's the short version even if it isn't too short, more like a Chaybert story:-)). I'm leaving here tomorrow and heading for Savannah Georgia which I'm really looking forward to seeing....then on to Florida.
This week I went to check on the "parking lot cats"...I drove past the Rottweiller tethered to a zip line and stopped to take another pix of him.
Well, I got "caught" red handed by the owner who came running outside to see what I was doing.
I immediately told him how gorgeous his dog was and that I was a photographer just taking a quick snapshot.
We ended up having a long discussion. He said that this Rottie is five months old....and named Gus [ short for Gustapo]. He said Gus was tethered because he had a habit of crossing the road and hanging out with the cows. He reassured me that Gus goes for a long walk every morning and likes to be outside instead of in the house w/him. I said.....that it would be better if he was "fenced in". ....and that Gus should have the option of being outside or in the house w/ him instead of being tied up.
I tried to be "nice" and he asked my opinion about having Gus tethered as it seems other passer bys have taken notice. So I gave him my thoughts about it. Hopefully, he'll put up a fence for Gus.

Izzy, just 16 and 6ft 2inches tall, has just been offered a place in the British Rowing Academy. If she accepts, she will have to do her A-levels at Hartpury college. It's a big decision for her, but I am sure she will choose well - she has monster plans for the rest of her life, and this will make a difference....

Hope everyone is doing well and hope that things are sailing along smoothly. Just wanted to give everyone an update as to what is happening. The surgery on the left is scheduled for tomorrow morning and I am hoping and praying that everything goes as smoothly as it did on the right eye. This should take care of all of the imbalance problems between the two eyes and I should be on my way to a different way of life in around 8 days. I’ll return as soon as I see what the I am left with. Wishing everyone a truly marvelous day. Peace.

Hey guys, I'm alive!
I'd had a big project in the works for a later date, and here's the first preview. It'll be debuting later this year.
Some details are temporary, still testing out a few ideas. I'm hoping to start a few smaller projects to fill the gap between posts.
I have been working an absolute ton lately so I'm sorry if the quality of pictures isn't great. I have multiple things planned for the future including doing something I'm calling "4 hour builds" where I make a small MOC in 4 hours or less and show you.
Got some new brickforge stuff!
Aquaman has new vambraces and a little design tweak, Roy has vambraces and a new bow, Ollie has a new bow, Merlyn needs a quiver but new bow and braces, and this is my WIP Artemis, she's not done but she's getting there.

The story:
A tourist was taking pictures with her iPhone of this snow monkey in a natural hot spring, but she came way too close - the monkey grabbed the phone and played with it for quite a while . It even managed to make the built-in flash go off. Needless to say that the iPhone did not survive the underwater session that followed.
Thank you!

......
My mother gave me the name Funky Ms....
ME:
Marian...my name is Mummy Marian. Why are you here and where do you live Funky and where are your parents?
FUNKY:
I live on the street ma'am. My parents couldn't take care of me anymore because there wasn't enough food. I beg for food on the streets.
ME:
Oh no....so you are a bum! This is a terrible story. We are going to put an end to your bum excistence! You're coming with us to Holland. You'll get warm clothes, food and lots of friends. But first of all you take a bath!
FUNKY:
That's very kind of you ma'am, but I can't accept.
JAN:

Will you take care of his bag Oleg. It has to be taken along.
Jan grabs Funky and puts him in his backpack and Oleg takes the bag......

Took this a good while ago. Gordon, Huntress and Michael Lane have actually all gotten significant updates since this was taken but ah well. I don't want to set em all up again.
Anyways, just wanted to get this out of my files and into my photo-stream. Cheers, folks!
It's been almost a month since my break and over two weeks since my surgery. I had my stiches removed and they gave me this cool new walking boot. I can't walk in it yet, but the doctor says healing is going as good and as fast as it could.
My next appointment is in 5 weeks and I'm told I should be able to start putting weight on my ankle then. I'm really looking forward to that!

Made a few updates to some of my custom Batman villain minifigures.
From L to R:
Hush: The old head was alright, but I found myself not completely satisfied with it. One problem was trying to keep the eye hole and mouth hole open while wrapping the bandages, so with the new one, I decided to not worry about having a bandage in-between the eyes or having a mouth hole. Also, I cut the stud off all the way when I made my first one, and it looked kinda odd. So on this one, I only cut it off a little, and layered the tap over the head to keep the rounded shape. I then gave the entire thing a heavy black wash. Also outlined the last pocket on the vest that I forgot to outline.
Manbat: Manbat was one I was happy with, but realized after a little but of criticism that he did not fit in with the rest of the figures. His face was very cartooney and his torso was a bit plain. So, I painted a new face, this actually being the third version with an open mouth, as I was not happy with my V2 close mouth face either. I also added just a few more line to the torso and back. You may notice the wings are different too. I tried to add an elbow joint to them. While it works, I am still not 100% sold on them yet, and there still may be a V3 of the wings further down the road, but these will due for now.
Killer Moth: Finally, with Killer Moth, I decided I was not satisifed with the dark green color I used on him. It was to dark IMO for him, and matched to much with the skin tone of my Killer Croc. So, I ended up using the olive green color that I used on my Riddler and Ivy, and I have to say, I like this color a lot better.
What do you guys think? Do the improvements look better? Which is your favorite improvement?

PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU FAVE, BUT I KNOW YOU WONT!
Lol.
So these are my current wips (there's more, but these are done/close to finished).
I'm going to be posting these soon.
Anyway, I'm running low on parts and need to get more, so upcoming figs should be slow.
I also cleaned up my workspace a lot. It's about 70% done, I just gotta sort some pieces and things. I'm only showing you the good half.
Thanks to Scott Blankfield for showing off his incredibly OCD workspace, which somehow made me clean mine.
Go ahead and guess the figs if you like!
The two torsos in front are what my question is:
What should I make with those two torsos?
I don't care what they are, but I need suggestions! BossVerse ideas would be great, cause I like doing those.
Thanks if you help, and for reading if you did!

First of all, thanks to Kalilies for being such a great person and making the standalone eye tutorial. Rahna's eyes are the result of that haha.
I am quite satisfied with Rahna's look now. I'm probably still going to tinker some more with it, though. Now that I think of it, I probably will give a little makeover to all my characters.

Most modern truck stops, whether owned by a major truck stop corporation or a franchise, are clean and have new fueling pumps and credit card readers. Pasco Washington is a trucking hub for this part of Washington, trucks everywhere, but the truck stops are all old and worn out. A new or updated truck stop here would do well.
Hey guys! So sorry I haven't posted in nearly a week. I've been busy doing school crap and being lazy. I've gotten done version 4 (yes, version 4) of Yellow Jacket, now with posable extended limbs. I've finished my Poe Dameron minifigure, and I even painted a jacket for him! I will post it soon, when do you guys want to see it? I also made a Fallout Wanderer avatar. Cred to Brick Warriors for the rifle. This was one I made when I was at my friends house, and he had Fallout 4. It is extremely fun! As you can tell, I bought the TFA X-Wing set, which is a bit pricey, but definitely worth the money. The figures are amazing, and the build is ingenious! I took the Poe figure, and I painted the arms and like, half of the legs. I also painted on the back of the helmet. Also, happy Thanksgiving you guys! I hope you had a lovely day, and I am so very thankful for those of you who continue to support me, it means a lot to me, and I appreciate each and every one of you.
CHALLENGE: Can we hit 200 by the New Year? Let's do it!
A new flamethrower, jetpack, torso and head.
I think the head works well and looks like he's wearing a jumpsuit under his outer suit.
What do you think?
Hey guys just a quick update or plan for the year,also just want to let everyone know that I have got my laptop back so I will be able to upload regularly and reply to any P.M's.
So what my primary focus will be from now until August is the Suicide Squad, I am extremely excited for this movie aside from The Jokers awful new look,so I decided this will be my main focus,I will only be making 6 figures from the movie,including Harley Quinn, The Joker, Cpt.Boomerang, Killer Croc, Deadshot and the skullface guy xD I think his name is El Diablo. Aside from suicide squad,I have been working on a few TWD Figures and a Spartan Locke Armor set which has been in the works for 4 months now, The picture above is my new GTA 5 Michael holding Harley Quinns unfinished Baseball bat. Thanks guys and sorry for the flickr neglect :)
