@Hachi: Those big caterpillars were from Florida. I'm way more up north in Massachusetts. I'm lucky where I live. There are a lot of hiking options close by, but I do travel to other places every once in a while to explore them.

@kiwi: A primer would be better to start it. Painting on the vinyl, I had to let it dry longer between coats to make sure it would stick. I just didn't have primer at the time >.> lol.

@kiwi: Thank you! That was on an old record. We pulled the labels off before painting.

@Hachi: I added the link to my Instagram account on the front page. I post scenic views, mushrooms, flowers, and some animals. There should be some of the fall in there. I don't post there anymore.

I've started working on Rei as a pixel doll. I want to practice more. I have the skin tone already done.

I've watched other people play Five Nights at Freddy's but I really don't like jump horror. Every other horror, I'm cool with, but I don't like that heart attack feeling when something jumps out at you.

If only he found the note earlier, he thought to himself. But what would it have changed? The law and his role prevented him on acting on his feelings, but he could have told her. How could he not have realized?

Ever since his marriage to Mav’ra of Oakenrock had been announced, Cristobal had withdrawn into himself. He knew this alliance was so very important to the kingdom and that he had a duty to uphold, but his feelings for Sayuri had grown over the years into love. He had always assumed she would not return his affections after the way his kingdom treated her. He knew their friendship was genuine. She was his closest confidante and partner in crime. Oh, the frights they would give the poor groundskeeper when they would hide in the thick bushes of the garden then jump out yelling.

But if he hadn’t been so wrapped up in himself, he may have noticed Sayuri had also withdrawn into herself. Maybe he could have said something that would have made her stay. Maybe she would have left anyways.

Since the wedding, Cristobal thought of Sayuri often, wondering where she was and if she was safe. As he thought of her more and more and why she left, he enacted laws freeing those formerly kept as pets, in the hope that others like them would be able to love and live freely.

@KimmiChan1989: Oh, wow, they make you work for it, but it's more realistic. I struggle with the right amount of realism in games. The balance is hard.

The building physics in Fallout 76 have been bothering me. Once you build a place, you can take away the supports and gravity no longer affects the building. It doesn't hurt anything other than my head and concept of physics.

@KimmiChan1989: As in the map fills out as you go or you have to do something specific in game to map or you have to make an actual physical map?

What are both of those games like? I've heard of the Conan character, but I have never seen the movie or anything.

She was not used to the hustle and bustle of city living, but the capital of Sephria would be her home now. Princess Mav’ra, formerly of Princess of Oakenrock, had begged and pleaded with her parents to reconsider the arranged marriage, but the alliance had to be sealed. Mav’ra, with her head held high, accepted her fate... under a few conditions of course.

Cristobal

Full Name: Cristobal Antonio Galleran

Hair: Dark blonde

Eyes: Cobalt blue

Occupation: Prince of Sephria

Parents: King and Queen Galleran

But as most children are wont to do, he rebelled against his parents and his role in life. When he finally got too much for his parents, they surprised him with a pet on his eighth birthday. Sayuri quickly became his best friend and closest confidante. They would spend many hours out in the gardens and horsebacking, enjoying the fresh air and each other’s company. But princes must grow up and become kings. As Cristobal came of age, a marriage was arranged to a princess of a neighboring kingdom. Cristobal was devastated, for over the years, his friendship with Sayuri turned to fondness, but Cristobal knew that he must do what was necessary for his kingdom and his people. On the eve of his wedding, he found the goodbye letter from Sayuri. Fighting back his tears, he faced the assembled nobles and began the next chapter of his life with his new wife.

@Hachi: Spring and fall seem to be getting taken over by winter. We've been having late snow storms in the spring then all of a sudden, it's summer. Fall got so cold so quickly too. I'll try to share some fall foliage pictures with you. I used to take pictures while hiking.

Thank you about the pixels. I decided to try giving pixel art a shot again. I found an easy to use app called Pixel Studio.

We also finally made it to the 2nd page which makes you the first freebie winner. Which avatar or OC would you like done? And do you have a preference which art style I try?
Posted in Doodle Bits - New QotW and Contest Posted 6 years ago

@Hachi: Lol oh yeah, we definitely have winter. We usually have spring and fall too, but the past few years have been weird.

I like a lot of reds. I just don't like orange-red. Every other shade is usually good. I used to have to wear red for my uniform. It was always surprisingly hard to find plain long sleeve red shirts.

This is a really good idea. I have been prone to lurking in the past, but I'm trying to post more on Voltra. I'm looking forward to the event!
