Mr. Bastard: The Man, the Myth, the Legend


...Well, at least within his own self-contained universe, but I'll mope about lack of interest in original prospects some other time.

"Mr. Bastard" is the name of a notorious mass-murderer, wanted to serve an innumerable number of consequtive life sentences, which some people argue still wouldn't be enough. As fate would have it, this uncatchable killing machine is finally brought to justice when he attempts to disrupt crime lord Don Moffet's annual gang fight. He was found unconcious at the top floor of an abandoned building clutching Moffet's charred corpse several feet from a gaping hole in the wall.

Once he came to, the felon was surprisingly complient with the officers bringing him in, though he did lash out when his complete criminal record was not recited at first, revealing that he'd somehow removed his own handcuffs and smuggled in weaponry. He eventually calmed down and resumed following orders, all the while grinning like a buffoon and chuckling to himself.

However, once locked in a cell, he exhibited signs of sociopathy which he referred to as "creative differences"...by murdering his cell-mates, one of which seemed to have his face gnawed off...It wasn'tlong before he was officially given the red carpet on death row. But something happened...

He just...wouldn't die. After surviving the chair, lethal injection, firing squad, and being blown up(all of which seemed to proove only that he is overprotective of his hat, which had a curious bullet hole through it), he proposed making a deal that the government reluctantly agreed to.

Mr. Bastard was to serve out his sentence as a Street Cop. All he requested alongside it were the release of his old partner Octavian Takopen(who'd serve his own sentence in the same way), a little place to stay, wheels, and most importantly, a secretary. No questions asked.

One of the best fake trailers to date



This is a fake trailer of a Green Lantern movie, and is extremely good compared to hundreds of other fan made trailers. I might even say, that this fake trailer is even better than some actual real movies!

Katherine: The naughty engy gal

Original line art obviously by Zach


I took it upon myself to spend 2-3 days tweaking the line art, changing some parts (mostly longer hair and new technique for eyes), new coloring/shading technique (which had so many steps i will NEVER b able to replicate).

For no good reason, i call her Katherine. This is my new ingame spray for TF2, well... this is a higher resolution version of it since the ones used ingame are actually tiny. I thought I'd post it on here for you people to see.

Enjoy.

So what now in TF2?

Ok so, the whole "Sniper vs Spy" update craze is over now, stuff is back to normal, sorta. I think most people can make an objective judgment on the update now:

The spy stuff, well...
  • The Ambassador had a really bad side effect IMO, because now we have camping spies sniping people. People playing as snipers switched to another class to play the same damn way. except now you're getting sniped from all sides. myself, i like that weapon less and less.
  • Cloak and dagger is ok if u plan to hang around the enemy base all day sappin the same engy over and over, but i find that for infiltration it drains way too fast and makes u stop too much, u can't cover much ground with it. it makes the gameplay much slower paced and almost relaxing.
  • Dead ringer is almost useless since it was patched, the unclocking noise is just too freaking loud to b usable, i rarely find it useful but i can see uses for it, like tanking an ubber or protecting a sentry.
Snipah's crap, mmm...
  • Jarate still feels dumb, it's ok to prevent spies from escaping as it renders all watches useless if the spy is hit, it can help against the flaregun if ur a camping sniper, but the reload time is too long to really help team members that often.
  • Razorback is a must for camping snipahs i guess, but when i used it, never noticed it going down, so in the end it just delayed the spy a lil.
  • Huntsman is actually fun and makes me like playing with the snipah, and in a recent update it became possible to reflect the arrows with the airblast, my new goal in life is to headshot a sniper with his own arrow!
everyone was able to get the new weaps because of the milestones being implemented back and lowered reqs for them, however, people are still crazy for the damn hats, and the damn trading system still isn't implemented (way to fail valve), in fact by now most people have had to delete duplicated items from their inventory at least once.

Personally, still no hat. However, in this topic u can find an utility to farm items. The utility isn't considered an exploit or cheat, what it does is log on TF2 in an idling server without running the actual game.

So far on this lil utility i got:

Long ass list is long.

Fucking hats need to start dropping!

Hey Blog


Have a sketch dump. I really don't know what else to say. I'm just not in the mood these days.

Kiwi color test 1

As some may remember, I had a lil contest for my character Kiwi's color scheme some time ago, and got a bunch of submissions for it.

But there wasn't any that felt truly right, Any like I said back then, I'm trying out color schemes borrowing ideas from the submissions i got.



I would love output on this, but since no one actually comments to the blog, i guess it's a waste of time.

Sum pixels for ya

Tried my hand at making tiles, and made this lil mockup of a would b daisy game.


Honestly, this is pretty weak. i kinda disappointed myself there. I just can't come up with a style i like.

Dandel's Bday

Zach doodled this for Dandel's bday (without me asking, imagine that) about a week ago. I wanted to make it special, so i did something that usually drives me crazy: i entirely colored it in openCanvas with watercolors.


It came out nice, but i applied a simple filter on it in Paint Shop Pro 7 for great justice. Enjoy.
