Stumped.

Arggg. Not a color guy, but slowly getting the hang of it. Right now, h'm puzzling over metallic effects and lighting. I'm doing an ambitious colored work which has 3 different colored light sources that affect the ambiance of the picture. Its hard but I gotta get through this. So while i'm stumped i'll have to take my mind off that work and come back to it with some new perspective (and doing something less ambitious).

I'm just one work away for a do-able porfolio for Redbrick (the guys who now own fading suns). I can do some portraits well, but I need to reach a skill level where I have a much stronger grasp of color and build a better system of drawing with less lines and less reliant of these lines. Speed is important, the faster the work gets done the more time to rest and the sooner i can get on to the next project.

Neverwinter Nights 2. Kinda sucks for me. I'm so used to point buy systems instead of level ones. And I dont have a taste for level set up so that you can play the prestige class i'm supposed to be after. I'm more used to being able to make my character concept in a given budget /or given a small budget choose a concept that will allow me to maximize it.

Level based is a different animal all together. It may be easier to learn in the beginning but once your playing character points start making all more sense, for me.

I remember when i first bought GURPS. It was a monetary and practical choice when it came to RPGs. But when i got home, it took a while for me to start using the book, because it was so text heavy. Now that i've learned better, i could make a point based system that has an intelligent layout and organization that would allow players to build characters more quickly and reducing the learning curve immensely.

Comments of the Gameplay. its clunky and slow. Saving is a bitch in this game too, unless there is a quicksave i'm missing. Oblivion still out does it in many levels, such as: graphics, character detail, pace etc. etc. not to mention that Oblivion runs faster and has lower requirements for a game that came out around the same time.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
