Sadly, if a real Pac-man movie were to be made, Hollywood would do exactly this.  On a larger scale.  And with a better budget.

Go for it.  I can't think of anything right now.

I've administered a short Turing test.  It passed one question and failed the rest.  The first time a bot has passed the "Pete and Repeat" question though.  However, that answer was no doubt added to the database beforehand.  Other bots have failed that question.

His arms are a bit long, 'specially his right arm.  Here's a lil trick to getting arm lengths right.  Stand up and put your arms to your sides.  Note that your elbow is roughly at your waist and the tips of your fingers are about mid-thigh.  When drawing arms, keep that in mind.  Also, your shoe size is the same length as your forearm.  That should also help in keeping arms a consistant length. 

Unless you like to draw very large feet.

Sadly, I think a good solid majority of us can attest to that article.  The internet has robbed us of our ability to concentrate on reading. 

Along with some people's ability to type in complete, proper, cohesive sentences with decent spelling, grammar, and capitalization.  But I digress...  I like to say that.  It makes me sound smart.  Anywho...

A while back, I decided to read A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs.  The book was relatively short, with great prose and a relatively decent pace.  It was a guaranteed quick read.  However, when I started reading, I was surprised to find myself struggling to keep my concentration.  I found it odd as I read all the time.  Every time I use the computer, I'm reading!  So, why was I having so much trouble?  What happened?  I used to be able to breeze through books!  I used to go through one of my many Star Wars books about one every couple weeks! 

It seemed that the only way I was able to concentrate and focus on reading was if I read the book aloud.  I discussed this with my brother, and he said that he had the same problem.  Granted, he hasn't struggled as much as lately, he's been reading alot more, but still, he had the same problem.  He could only read aloud.  The problem?  The internet. 

Well, while waiting at the laundromat one night, we both decided to read through A Princess of Mars together.  Almost 2/3 of the book was read through that night and I finished the remaining thirty or so pages on my own time later that week.  The book was read aloud.  After that, I started getting into the habit of listening to audio dramas and adventures.  I found that having to concentrate on following a story through audio (audio learning isn't one of my strong suits.  I usually need to take notes.) helped improve my reading concentration.  I was able to read half-way through Coruscant Nights I: Jedi Twilight within a few days.  And I didn't need to read it aloud to keep my concentration.

Perhaps that's one of the reasons I keep pushing audio adventures on people.  Your concentration will thank you.

"Hrm, my stomach has been acting up the past few days...  I better not be getting sick.  I have stuff I need to do!  A large pic to draw!  A driveway to shovel!  Articles to write!  Character pics to draw!  Getting sick will only hinder that!"

Thanks.  Septavious there is of the Squib species.   I wanted to add some variety to my character roster, and Squibs are cute.  First time I've coloured fur in Photoshop.

That would be helpful as sometimes Photobucket likes to slow my browser down to a crawl.

Anywho, since I had Photoshop open, I decided to draw and colour the captain of that ramshackle ship.  I still need to write up his bio.

Breasts are, surprisingly, not easy.  Too many times have I seen improper nipple placement, the cleavage being too high, the shape being wrong, the placement of the boobs themselves being wrong, etc. 

But I digress...

Basically, compared to male bodies, the female body has wider hips and a thinner waist.  Most artists give women an hourglass body shape.  Make the legs long and slender and you're good to go.

Books like Human Anatomy Made Amazingly Easy will also help.

Photobucket's eating ram, no thanks to a stupid "New In Town" interface/banner they have slapped on the front page, so I'm not in the mood tonight to deal with that.  I have Photoshop up currently and don't wanna close it just to please Photobucket's retarded ad campaign.  So all it's being used for tonight is to upload a pic.

While waiting for the net, I cobbled together a starship.  Behold, the Rhythm Divine, a junk-hauling scavenger ship.



This bugger uses chemical rockets for takeoff, a basic ion drive for cruising speed, and a scavenged hyperdrive.  The hyperdrive isn't all that efficient, so travel takes anywhere from weeks to months to even years, depending on location and distance.  Hyper-sleep chambers, ala Alien, are installed on the ship.
