A movie? How about this one?

Need I even say "wtf?"

Hmm, I haven't seen many good movies out this christmas-time, other than the DVD release of Transformers. I've heard good things about 'the golden compass' if you're willing to wait for that, but meh.

hey-hey for GTA!

San Andreas is still on my favourites pile. I just can't get enough of running a rampage with an army tank or a harrier jet.
Running on a rampage has always been fun.

People will do the stupidest things if they think it makes them funny.

There are very few people who actually know how to use 'random' humour properly, and a billion people who like to think that they can, but can't. It is these wannabes who make things like videos of dogs pooping and computer-game crotch shots.

Links in sigs... Does anyone ever actually bother to click them?

I know I don't.

Fair point. Girls do love the Final Fantasy series.

... Okay, I'm creeped out.

Anyone here post on the CtrlAltDel forums?
I can remember, about two years ago, the mods were told they weren't banning enough people, and that the forums were going out off control.
So the mods just banned a random bunch of people. They didn't bother trying to find the troublemakers.

If I remember right, they just said "everyone who posts in this section of the forum is banned."

I don't think the forum owner even cared. He was becoming increasingly paranoid that the forums were turning against him at that point.

Both have their merits.
Halflife was a revolution that made games such as Halo possible.
Halflife was way before it's time, and it was a fucking kick-ass game that I still find myself playing from time to time.

Halo (the original) was a great game, but really didn't have many innovations or anything particularly new, it really just perfected a bunch of old ideas that had been kicking around for years. But it was probably the best multiplayer game of it's generation.

They both have their place in my heart.

Area of a circle is equal to pi-R-squared.
Basically, you multiply Pi (3.141) by the radius of the circle (half of the diameter) squared.

Then multiply by the depth of the circle. Then you have volume.

I think the correct question would be "Is there such a thing as a hot girl who is an emo/goth." And the answer is an obvious "yes."
I base this upon the fact that I've seen some REEEEEEEALLY Fuck-ugly gothic girls who have so many piercings that if you made them stand under an industrial magnet, they would defy gravity.

Every 'social group', whether it's goths, emos, punks, ravers, chavs, geeks or whatever, has some hot chicks and some ugly chicks in it. You can't really decide that simply by becoming a goth/emo you instantly become a 'hot chick.' That would just be silly.

Now that it's not so blurry, this picture looks a lot better. I really like the original design for the weapon.

My GF is a really big fan of RPGs, Stealth games and puzzles. Basically anything that involves a bit of thought rather than mindless "blow the shit out of everything" games.

I like shooters, personally. So that means we can always enjoy a night of games like Splinter Cell, Hitman, Resident Evil etc.

In my experience, girls seem to enjoy the games which are least "elitist." I.E. There are no "mega-hardcore-shut-in-gamers" who do nothing but play that game online and masturbate. Hence, they are so good at the game, that they can win against any opponent.
That, and they have freakin' MASSIVE right arms.

Usually just:
"Your mum's a (insert the last noun I said)"
Either that or:
I fucked your mum. (To which my response is usually something along the lines of "Oh, incidentally, I overheard Mum on the phone this morning. She says you've got a tiny dick. Also, you might want to have that rash on your bellend looked at, and she says she found your shitstained superman underpants stuck on the end of the strapon you asked her to use last night, and she needs to know your address so she can mail them back. Also, Mum says that if you're still having trouble sitting down, she can recommend a good haemerroid cream you might want to know about.
Oh, and she told me to tell you that "It's been a while" is not a viable excuse for Extreme-premature ejaculation.... Or crying for hours afterward.)

Transferring photos.... from a controller.

I'm out!

My socks are black.... Black as the night.
I can remember when they were new.
Before my feet touched them, they were white.

I just came back to finish my rant, but I think it's funnier to watch the uneducated flounder for a bit...
Spouting things that they know nothing about...

It's like watching a monkey use a computer to scratch it's arse.

:And I would advise the few educated people here to do the same, and just enoy the show...

Ah, biology and genetics! My strong suit!

Conception is a process by which the human species propogates. By using the method of 'dick goes in, babies come out,' humanity (and indeed - all sexual life on earth) has survived for hundreds of thousands of years.
Miscarriage (stillbirth) is actually just an 'organic abortion' performed by the mother's body. To prevent the mother from birthing a child which is seriously defective and will not be able to survive on it's own - and hence would become a detriment to the species - the mother's body automatically terminates the fetus.
This can be triggered by other factors, such as starvation (the mother's body decides that now isn't a good time to bring a baby into the world, since there isn't enough for the child to eat on the outside) or sudden, traumatic shocks, but I digress.

But normally, a stillbirth is caused by genetic problems caused during zygosis/gastolation/other stages of extreme early development. It can be caused by certain genes being missing (such as the 'brain cell' data being missing, causing a baby with no brain to begin to form) or fused-limbs or what have you.
Some of you may be familiar with the drug 'thalydamide'. I'm not sure about the spelling, so you might want to just go nuts on Wikipedia for a while... But Thalydamide was a drug used to prevent morning sickness in expectant mothers in the mid fifties/sixties. It worked very well as a morning-sickness treatment, but an undetectable optical isomer in the drug had a horrible side effect....
The mothers who took Thalydamide were unable to miscarry (although this wouldn't be discovered until many years later. It was originally thought that thalydamide was just a mutant-maker). Because the mothers were unable to miscarry, they gave birth to all the twisted, aberrant human shapes that would otherwise have been miscarried/stillborn.

So, as you can see, Miscarriage is a process built into humans for our own preservation as a species. It isn't a genetic flaw, but more a method by which we can 'contain' and 'dispose' of genetic flaws.

Cancer is another can of worms entirely. Cancer is so complicated, intricate and such a hideously vague category, that I'm not even going to scratch the surface on this one, I'm barely even going to be in visual range of the surface.
Cancer is not caused by a singular mutation. It is caused by hundreds of thousands of mutations. Every human being has mutations. One in seven of your genetic nucleotide bases is a mutation, which is in part due to our Eukaryotic nature, but I digress again.
In order to have cancer, you will need a combination of these mutations. There are several thousand different combinations which can lead to cancer...

Oh, shit, got class.

I'll be back in about an hour or so to complete this lecture.

Bonsoir, mes amis ! Mon nom est McCleod de Monsieur. Je suis un jacobyte. Je suis un aristocrate français habite en Ecosse, et nous sommes dans le procédé de reprendre d'Angleterre, vos ennemis jurés. Sous la direction de « Charlie de prince de Bonnie, » nous avons fait reculer l'anglais résistance aux portails de Londres, et nous planifions notre assaut sur leur capitale comme nous parlons.

Maintenant, où le drambuie est ? Je veux obtenir bu.

What would your reaction be.

Hypothetically speaking.

I'm not discussing if this would happen or not.

This is a hypothetical situation.

This sounds like a question from a Theist (believer). It's a question that has been asked by many religious people to Atheists since it became legal to be a nonbeliever.
But meh, I'll answer it anyway.
If I came face to face with god when I die, I will happily admit that I was wrong. (Because I am a big believer in "belive it when I see it.") But I might be inclined to ask him a whole bunch of questions regarding his behaviour over the last few thousand years. Namely questions regarding "where the hell have you been hiding?" "Why have you been hiding?" and maybe some questions about the mysteries of the universe...

Now don't start quoting scripture at me... Scripture is written by man, and is not the word of god.

I know of gayer band names.

The gayest bands are the ones who hear the name of a scientific phenomenon somewhere and decide "Durr, I hearded a new word today. I'ze gonna call my band that."
Seriously, as a scientist, it's infuriating when you go into google trying to do some background reading for research projects, and all you get back are fucking band's myspace pages, fansites and CD shops.

I mean, why in the name of blue buggery would you call your band 'Blindsight'?

I think you should repost that drawing, but crop the image down to get rid of all the big white area around the picture. All it does is stop us from being able to see your work properly.

Okay, I'm seeing a lot of bullshit about ganging up on people posted here, so I'm gonna do what I can to clear things up.

DO NOT GANG UP ON THEM!
You might think I'm crazy for saying this, but ganging up on this guy is the last thing you want to do. If you gang up on him, he'll just get a bigger bunch of people (I'm willing to bet he's got a bit more 'pull' in the social order. Be it through intimidation, or some other method) and gang up on you and your mates. And trust me - Because he's gone to all the effort and expense of getting a big posse to take you and your friends down, he and his friends will probably want you to suffer even more.
It is not unknown for these 'gang rivalries' to spill over and they have even been known to end with murder if they are allowed to escalate enough.

Perhaps you should look at this from his point of view. He is in a position that demands respect, be that as 'the school bully', or 'the jock', or just a well-liked individual. Now, because you have attacked him, he is under a lot of pressure to 'put you in your place' before other people start to lose their respect/fear of him.
If I were you, I would at least TRY to apologise, but really, that's all you can do.

I think that sums it up nicely.

More specifically -
If you start a topic, you should start with at least one piece of your own art. This rule makes sure that this forum stays the way it was intended - as an art forum.
The rules also state that you should not make requests of other artists. And starting a topic purely to make a request is particularly frowned upon in here. It happens a lot, and we're actually quite tired of it.

Why don't people just read the rules anymore?

I did this with just a wet piece of toilet paper and acrylic paint. It's pretty effective in my opinion...

We do a similar thing in our movies... Except we coat it in liquid latex, rather than simply making it wet...
It does the same job, it just tends to stand up to the rigours of shooting a scene a little better.

But still, I love this technique. Saves a bundle on prosthetics.

I've started with pictures and i've included a pic i did here. so plz?

I get the impression that if that piece of art is genuinely a "pic you did", then you are more than capable of making this art fankit yourself. So why would you need our help?
Or better yet, forget about the fankit and just DRAW the characters yourself...

But really, All I think you did for that 'pic you did' was take this pic, drawn by another artist, and change the background on it... Which let's face it, is not 'doing a pic'. It's lazy, and borders on art theft.

Secondly, the rules on this forum stipulate that you're not supposed to make requests, and starting a topic purely on the grounds to make a request is particularly frowned upon.
(as is borderline art-theft, but hey...)

I smell smoke coming for you... And there is no smoke without flame.

Ooh, art theivery.
Looooow.

I find the fact that they have no pupils quite harrowing....
It's the zombie-rabbit, and the zombie-sun!!!
Hide your brains! And the Solar Panels! XD

It may be intentional, but I noticed that the blood on the blades looked more like it had been 'splattered' with blood, rather than being the actual thing that had done the cutting.
When a blade cuts someone/something, the blade usually goes INTO the wound, meaning that the section of the blade that went into the would will be completely covered in blood...

This (crudely drawn) MS paint doodle might illustrate my point a little better......

Other than that, it's coming along nicely...

Thank you all for all your feedback. It's really appreciated and it helps me to improve. I'm sorry that I haven't been here to respond to you all individually (busy in Glasgow for a couple of days), but I'm home now, and I'm able to answer your questions/respond to your posts.

Now, to answer some of your posts -

How long did it take you to make it?

The drawing took around two hours (with one 'practice doodle' beforehand, just to see if things were going to actually look okay. I sometimes find that things looked better when they were in my head, and then realise I've wasted several hours drawing something that doesn't look like anything.)

is it alright if i make a animation of something like that?

Yes, it's fine to use similar designs to this in your animation... Hell, I don't have a monopoly on gates and camera angles, do I?

i can see the perspective lines you used, which is good keep on doing that i need to work on perspective myself

That was just because I was too lazy to rub them out... But I might start leaving in my construction lines on all my line-art so that people can learn from them...
But since you seem interested, I used a three-point perspective... One horizontal point for each door of the gate, one point for height.

do it on the computer

The more I look at this piece, the more I become convinced that it's the right thing for me to do. That way, I can draw some extra 'gubbins' and details and stick them on wherever I feel they look best.

The only part I think looks a bit odd is that the bottom of the gates are cut off, but you can see right down to the bottom of the silhouette's legs. Unless it's part of your masterplan :]

It's not really part of a 'master plan', but it was (originally) intentional. It was supposed to make the point-of-view appear to be very close to the ground, so that the gates would look extra-big and daunting... But instead, it seems to have just impaired the depth of the piece....
I might add some details to the ground to rectify this, or I might even make the gates 'overlap' the ground a bit, to add more depth.

Just a small criticism... And it's not a very big crit...

I can't help but feel that her hands are too small. Since she's not human, this might be deliberate, but I still think that when your eyes are bigger than your hands, something's up.

Other than that, it's coming along nicely!
I'll look forward to seeing you progress on this one....
