Tonight I record the Drunkcast with Banes, Pitface and Tantz. This is the scene I envisage:

Every now and then I like to rant about something …

Finally found the name of the Star Trek episode that made me wonder…. it was called "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield". Features two members of an alien race that came from a nearly destroyed planet. They were one color on one side, and one color on the other, but on opposite sides. And they hated each other A LOT. How much? Thanks to their hate they're the only two aliens left. Despite Captain Kirk's pleas for them to stop, they kept fighting. One of them escaped back to his world, and the other pursued him…
So I knew then. Hate is illogical and a waste of energy. Energy that could've been used for other things. LIKE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES AND DRAWING WEBCOMICS!!! :D
Oh… and John Carpenter's "The Thing"… That scene where someone's head rolled onto the floor, then sprouted legs and eyestalks is burnt into my brain. Along with that real world experience of me on the job finding two guys going at it like rabbits…. X_X
@Gunwalace- I don't see why anyone could be upset… we all know that New Zealanders aren't really people, don't we? :)

Naw, the guy sounds like a prize tool.

@Lonne-
Speaking of finally finding out names of things… I finally found out the name of a song I've been looking for for freaking decades!!!!!!
Gah!
It was one of those things I heard on the radio a lot as a kid and I LOVED, but have since not been able to find, because they don't play it anymore and the bloody song title appears nowhere in the lyrics AND the song title is the same as the more popular and well known Sting song anyway…
Annnd it doesn't really have a memorable chorus except "No way street", which to a decades old memory sounds like "wrong way street" or "one way street", and those lyrics are in a LOT of songs…
So anyway, the song is "An Englishman in New York" by Godly and Creme:

Love it. Makes me think of tall buildings, long straight, wide roads, and flashing signs. Very retro urban sound.
Heh… It's funny how years later we want to see something again, but we never find out the name of the work. Right now I'm looking for an orchestral instrumental type song… At first I thought it was from Chariots of Fire, but found out it isn't, though they do sound similar. Then I was told it was a theme for the Thornbirds, but no luck there. Oh, well… I'll just keep looking…
Decided to go back into Champions Online to see what's going on and I find out to my dismay that… my character Hanna C.U.F.S. (Cybernetic Unit Frontline Soldier) still attracts attention wherever she goes….
Like Pinky TA she uses guns. Unlike Pinky TA she doesn't pilot mechs… she's PART mech! :)
Again on the topic of finding names for things, do any of you know the name/artist of this image? I thought it was Da Vinci, but I can't seem to find it among his works.
I've had it forever, and then I went away for a few days and came back to find it on my desk half bunny-eaten. Kind of annoying that the pet sitter didn't even mention that it happened, but in any case I want to replace it.
I would guess Davinci too. It looks like a cartoon, and from the hat it's a pope or a cardinal…?
The mitre (hat) is very simple so I will guess it's for a cardinal.
From a whole lot of Google searches I found nothing… BUT popes and cardinals are pretty much always clean shaven (the reformationists are more likely to be bearded I think), so this guy is either a self portrait in a fancy hat or it's one of those old bearded homeless type characters that the renaissance artists loved to draw!
I'm sure Bravo could have a better perspective on it than me.

@ Lonne - That character still looks great. Would be a good new police uniform!
Bishops and saints wear the mitre too… St Patrick is frequently drawn with a beard but I couldn't find any pics of him like that- his mitre is more decorated usually.
It LOOKs more and more like a Raphael study to me, Raphael has pics very much like that from that same angle… just not THAT one that I can find. Very taxing puzzle Hippy!!!!!
Bishop Saint in Prayer, 1528–30
Parmigianino (Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola) (Italian, Parma, 1503–1540)
Bearded churchmen were common during the 16th Century. In fact beards in general were common during the 16th Century. Among clerics it was an apostolic look. Humanists and scholars shaved not bishops.
Saint Peter could be shown in a mitre as Bishop of Rome so it could be a study of an apostle, but it could just be a generic saintly bearded bishop like the sketch above. All church fathers were depicted in beards and a lot of them were bishops so its a long list.
Well darn, I may just have to try to patch it up as well as I can. I never realized it was such an obscure image. Thanks for trying to help though, you two!

We have a hedge full of delicious berries around my yard but we have no idea what they're actually called, so my little sister and I have taken to calling them Boosh berries. The other day we made jam and painted Mighty Boosh-themed jars. : )
I tried to edit together a picture of mine here, but it is hard to capture a whole jar.
That jam looks tasty! If it wasn't for my Diabetes (type 2), I'd ask for a jar. T_T
I hope next time you leave your place for a couple of days that you at least encase that image in glass. Or put it in a steel box just in case your bunnies can eat glass without any ill effects. Yep… some animals chew on things for one reason or another. Such as that one part in an animal rescue show on Animal Planet where a pit bull was quite willing to chew on the bars of his cage (these were very THICK bars) while inside the animal control truck to go after the dog in the cage next to him… he was quite a mess when they pulled him out.
As for Hannah C.U.F.S., I thought I'd show off her arsenal with more current screenshots. And maybe later I'll show off her alternate costume (now that I have an extra costume slot for her).
She also uses Frag and Smoke grenades, but those are hard to show off…

My bunnies are pretty determined chewers, but fortunately they can't handle glass. They also don't have any interest in it - I think they are mostly drawn to natural or seemingly-natural materials like wood, cardboard, wicker, wires, etc. And old art prints with which my dad had entrusted me. : (
That jam jar looks incredible Hippie! You captured Noel Fielding's style perfectly!
Yum…

Nice weapon supply Lonne!
Artists need to come up with a better mounting solution for Gatling guns though. For some unknown reason they're always shown being held like that, but that would be absolutely impossible.
-Even if you were strong enough to carry one along with full ammo (which no one is), the recoil would be so massive that it would rocket back and fire uncontrollably in every direction, like a firehose with no fireman on the end… They've given no way to brace against the recoil, it just hangs…
If I were ever to design a game, do a film, or comic with one of those guns being held like that I would have the firer being thrown around like a ragdoll and the gun spinning off into a ditch and cutting down telephone-poles and tress at random :)
Awww you love me, I know you do

And then I hate you too because I was getting used to not updating the comic. And thie site is back and I'm finally back to working full-time. There aren't enough hours in the day to shoot more scenes and catch up on all the anime and movies I haven't watched in the past ten years.
So a mad time for my life. A few of you may remember my marriage broe down earlier this year, the hardest part was that my wife was pregnant. Well she isn't anymore as the little boy was born about a week ago. I'm lucky that things are amicable with the ex so kids aren't affected too much. Shame not everything is so simple, adusting to being alone after eleven years has been tough. So I'm still slowly plugging away at BASO when i can but inspiration comes hard at present. However with the duck being back maybe I'll get back on track. maybe…
