Best friend of mine started a GoFundMe to help raise money for a new computer, as his current one died and he has commissions to finish to work on for extra income. Please help him out if you can! mearcu https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10222335/
Yet another overdue journal, my mind must not be doing well for a long while now. More often I've felt that I want to deal with the outside world less & less, even to the point I unfollowed some people because of their increasing hostile attitudes towards others, because I really don't want to see…
My first journal of 2022, and it's already February. The main reason for it is a series of persistent issues the family is having at home, just about everything breaking down in some way. Here's a quick list of issues and current status in their eventual repair: Plumbing – The worst situation in wh…
Finally near the end of another very crazy year, one I don't want to relive anytime soon. The holidays themselves have been quite decent, spending a lot of that time making meals for the family. One of the big recent things is getting myself some games for Christmas, notably Guild Wars 2, so far on…
Health: Recently, I've been going through some dental appointments, including a tooth extraction and a root canal this month, and making absolutely sure I'm taking better care of my teeth. Halloween: We're putting together our usual dinner, snacks, and collection of spooky movies & shows this year.…
Not sure if I had mentioned it at all, let alone not enough or not at all, but since having the new gaming laptop, I'm finally playing some school online games, most of them just one for the duration of one month before shifting games. Dauntless – A free-to-play spoof of Monster Hunter (haven't pla…
First off, thanks for your recent faves, watches, and positive comments! Even though I've always done art simply for fun, your responses always add some extra good feels. As a cook, there has been several recipes I enjoy making over & over, so I'm going to put down my top 5 favorite meals in no par…
For several years now, a very close friend of mine has been continuously tormented by an individual stalker with a sick obsession with his fursona. It started with suggestive conversations, and led to stealing my friend's artwork and posting them on shady websites that made it difficult for my frie…
First off, a big thank you for the favorites and watches, I usually don't have time or memory to thank each of you directly. Finally getting our monsoon season, which is really good & important for my gardens, and taking advantage of planting more seeds so I can get more crops later on. My earlier…
K9 Corps – I mentioned this project before, based off a very short-lived toyline that has a very similar backstory to the Road Rovers. About a scientist working to create a race of canine-sapien super soldiers. His 1st creation, Malice (Doberman Pinscher), ended up being the main antagonist and try…
To my watchers, I know the big majority of you are good friends, acquaintances, associates, and fans of my work, and I always appreciate your watches, faves, & positive comments. But lately, there's been a recent string of random & antagonistic outbursts from people in comments of my projects, some…
Business: Been really busy already working in the gardens for the farmer's markets, and it's been pretty good in selling herbs so far, though I've found myself nearly selling all of my current inventory a few times. Since, my family's now completely vaccinated, and more people are getting theirs, I…
Games: Turns out my internet speed has gone from somewhat decent to totally crappy, and I have not been able to improve it for free, so my family will be checking our service for potential upgrades to our pretty old equipment. Until then, I'm limited to single-player downloaded games, like SimCity…
First off, my family is on our way to full vaccination from the pandemic. And now, I've had this idea for some time of a potential new movie or even a TV show featuring Anansi, a folktale spider of African & Caribbean culture. As a trickster and storyteller, he would tell a few of his stories of cu…
Got a new game for free, Wargame: Red Dragon. But for now, I'm playing World of Warplanes this month, while next month will be War Thunder. Garden/Business – Realized I've started a month late in preparations for this year in gardening & farming, mainly in sowing fruit, vegetable, & herb seeds indo…
Had another crazy idea, and created another Road Rovers group for my future stories and artwork. I don't have a special name for them yet, but their commonality is that they're all sighthound breeds, they have digitigrade legs instead of the plantigrade like other Rovers, and they all share powers…
Since we're in February, also known as African-American Heritage Month, I've decided to do some posts about some folks that have been influential for me, as well as others whose interesting histories have become obscure and lost obscure in our times in school. George Washington Carver. Early 1960s…
Art – I still have a lot of files to sort out, but I have started a bit into drawing again, mostly quick projects before I can get the time into larger plans. I had promised for a couple years to get some ideas worked on, and I eventually want to improve my pixel art skills on my older works. I hav…
My last journal of the 2020 year, and I'd have to say this obviously has more downs than ups for me and & family, not counting the obvious situations we hear about every day. The worst of the year is losing my father, which I think is still hurting me quite a bit, having to spend quite a few of our…
Games: Since finishing this year's main growing season, I've had some extra free time, and the new gaming laptop allowed me to play games again! So far, I've been downloading online free-to-play games and downloading already purchased games from my accounts. I have thought about purchasing one game…
The summer gardening season is now at a close for the year, and it's been a hectic ride, but far better than staying cooped up at home all year long. And next year should turn out much better without all the madness. So this winter will be a mix of relaxation and working, on my first attempt at a c…
Pretty much my personal analysis of my farming season this year of 2020. Compared to last year, this season was not a major improvement money-wise, but the majority of it was due to the obvious issues the whole world is facing right now. Cons Covid-19. Closed the farmer’s markets for a time, limite…
Another one of my Road Rover art projects is a collection of concept cars to be used by the Rovers, AKA putting the “road” back into Road Rovers. Rather than just a collection of cartoon dog-headed vehicles as seen in the shows, the Rovers would also have their own personal array of heavily-modifie…
Besides some of my dream ideas in gardening, I’ve had some wild plans in the food industry business, using some experience I had in training & working in culinary arts Food Truck – Plans have been pretty broad as to what kind of food I want to sell or even then type of vehicle I want as my food tru…
Last year, I have already shown you my modern military rendition of the three canon fictional countries from the cartoon series Road Rovers. You can find it here if you haven’t seen them yet: https://www.weasyl.com/journal/142881/road-rovers-fan-stuff So now, I’ll be showing some of my own factions…
This hasn’t been one of my best birthdays so far. Not enough money to buy a present for myself, can’t go out to eat because of the virus, so busy with garden work, no room in the freezer for an ice cream cake, and it’s the 1st birthday without my father. It took a birthday card from my grandmother,…
I’ve been really excited with some of my progress in the gardens, especially from the summer harvests of my blackberries and grapes, which should hopefully be a regular trend in my business, and hoping to expand further in the next couple years. So I’ll be sharing a bit of some of my overall goals…
Since it’s been summer and I have been really busy with the gardening business, I found myself taking a lot of photos of my gardens and my plants. So I figured for the time being, I’ll be posting some of my photos for the duration of the summer and fall seasons. You’ll be seeing our collections of…
While I’m still rearranging everything to start drawing again, I’m also still doing a lot of research for my writing projects, currently a video game in the same genre as Tomb Raider and Uncharted, called The Gem Cutter. Characters = A former US Army Special Forces combat engineer, former private c…
For the most part, I’ve been doing a LOT of rearranging my loads of files, to which I haven’t done any new work all month. Luckily, I still have stuff already finished, so I’ll have plenty to post for a long while. Plus, I’ve been taking lots of photos of my gardens, so I may be adding more of that…
An update of things for this month. It’s been over a week since my father is buried, and the family is still trying to cope in different ways. I am getting back into the gardening business, and will start attending small markets until the virus situation has passed over to which the city farmer’s m…
Time for my next session of Terrea nations, this one has a little bit more current conflict in its story. Names = The Parliamentary Republic of San Cloe, The Republic of San Cloe, The Republic, and San Cloe “Geography” = Around the size of South Carolina, and just about completely urban environment…
Art = Gonna begin working on random gift art for friends, associates, & idols this month, hoping to get some old projects done, a few of which had been on my backburner for several years! Also, I’ve been getting back into some wire jewelry making, starting off with various sets of earrings. Writing…
Time for another video game script idea! This one is based off Area 88, a manga/anime series about mercenary fighter pilots in an Arab civil war in the later Cold War era. Player Characters = In the game, the players can pick one of five characters from the story: Shin Kazama, Mickey Simon, Greg Ga…
Gardening = Despite it being winter, I’m never out of things to do for my gardens, in preparations for my next season. Lately, it’s been a lot of repairs on tools & equipment; pruning & trimming my trees; caring for my plants in the greenhouse & indoors, plus a batch of herbs that are doing rather…
Seen this meme a few times before, and decided to take it on. Turns out a lot had happened in my life in this decade. 2010 = Worked/lost 3rd job; became volunteer at animal shelter 2011 = Adopted 1st dog; started drawing pixel art; started gardening for farmer’s market 2012 = Adopted 2nd dog; left…
Another year come and gone, and again it had its ups and downs for me, my family, and the rest of us all. Now we hope that this New Year will bring some sort of balance to the chaos. Art = I’ve definitely enjoyed spending most of the year to focus on my personal projects, which I felt like I didn’t…
Another old video game idea, directly based on X-COM, one of my fave game series. Since they’ve had the story timeline back to the 1950s in a tactical shooter, I’m setting my story arc to the height of World War 1. In the carnage of the global conflict, humans have been discovered to be abducted an…
Finished year 8 of my farming business, almost ended a little early due to surprise frost warnings the night before one of the markets. Managed to get a few new things started, improved on what I’ve been doing, and planning out what to do for the next season. New Accomplishments 2nd farmer’s market…
Continuing on with the next country, the rest currently don’t have as much detail as the Kingdom of Estelbach, but I will definitely be adding much more to all my projects over time. Next up is the Geminalli Empire/Kingdom. Geography = The Kingdom’s origin began on an island with the shape and size…
And now to another one of my crazy ideas in progress. One of the video game documents I’ve been working on is the 1990s anime Wild Knight Gulkeeva (Beast Warriors Gulkeeva). Genre = The game is mostly likely a hack & slash style where the player takes on a large collection of enemies of varying siz…
Is it is Tonga time? Maybe it’s Tonga time. NO, it’s Terrea time! Time to blab about one of the countries of my fictional world creation. My first nation in the collection is the Kingdom of Estelbach. Geography = Estelbach is a country, about the size of the western half of North America, on the no…
This session, I’ll be revealing a bit of my Road Rovers fanverse projects, mainly on three countries featured in the Episode “Where Rovers Dare”: Eisnearia, Katzenstok, & Ovitznia. Just a note, this is non-canon and created from deep within my twisted mind, neither is it in connection with any othe…
Terrea = I’ve yakked about this a lot at times, of course because it’s a very big personal project of mine. I’ve now decided to try and share more info about my world and the nations within, not just going along with my newly posted artwork. Some of the new stuff will include news articles of event…
Cold = Sure enough, had a cold in the summer. It’s not fun, but luckily I’m passing through it as fast as possible. Normally for me, the first week is the worst, followed by several weeks of just coughing & sneezing. Farming = Getting into the habit of two markets a week now, which is good in makin…
Disney Movie Ideas = Yep, another list of stuff that should be made into movies. The theme…projects that should be made by Disney Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves The Fantastic Voyages of Sinbad The Ramayana Momotaro Ivan Tsarevich Rumpelstiltskin The Clever Little Tailor The Four Skillful Brothers Bear…
World War 2 Movie Ideas = Merrill’s Marauders – American commandos in the Asian mainland Unit 731 – Japanese weapons testing unit who experimented on human prisoners Christopher Lee – British commando & spy Ian Fleming – British spy & James Bond author Flying Tigers – American volunteer pilots in t…
Farmer’s Market & Gardening = So far, my business at the farmer’s market has been progress, although a bit slow, so I’ve been working on some of my ideas to expand. Vegetable Garden – I finally got a spot dedicated to my veggies, hopefully to provide some produce at the market, especially heirloom…
As said, a friend is opening commishes! I've gotten cool art from him before, and also nabbed a slot! Check him out! https://twitter.com/crazygreyhound/status/1135703527760826369
Some of you may notice I haven’t posted anything new in a while, other than in notices you may receive if you have DeviantArt accounts. The reason for that is that I’m going over my entire collection of art to primarily repair the crediting to fellow pixel artists whose work I used for my projects.…
Farmer’s Market & Gardening = Finally got back to the local farmer’s market, which I’ve been happy & very busy, keeping up with demands for my herbs in the spring. I’ve started two weeks earlier than I usually start in the previous years, mainly because of the challenges of weather and temperatures…
First off, colds are not fun, especially if it leads to chest & back pains. It’s been four weeks and I’m still recovering from the last bit of the virus, and just in time for me to try and catch up on a lot of things, and getting into a better mood. Gem Show = We got to go to another awesome intern…
Gardening/Business = Just one more month before I return to the farmer’s market. This means I’m going into overdrive to get everything ready, so it’ll be taking a lot of my spare time. Sowing seeds, transplanting plantings, trimming & feeding older plants. Added two blueberry & two blackberry plant…
Art = The month had been a bit slow in drawing, so I haven’t made too much progress in my goals in fan art, other than a few new planes. This March, I will shift my attention to historically accurate ideas again. My starting list will include a new template of an F-16 Falcon & several variants, mor…
Life = Making more visits to the dentist to have my teeth repaired, since I haven’t been caring for them properly for the past 15 years (until I started again a little over a year ago). Since then, I’ve had only one tooth removed and the majority restored, save for at least two that will require ro…
Took me a whole month to come up with a new journal… Gardening = The greenhouse has done some work to keep the plants warn during the day, but I finally put a black liner along the floor and flushed out the misting system to hopefully provide a climate to hold heat during the night. Finished anothe…
The Year 2017. I’ll pretty much list my personal pros & cons of this year… Pros Completed construction of my greenhouse and began using it Able to hold more plants this year thanks to the greenhouse Ended the farming season with an extra month thanks to the greenhouse Achieved personal record-beati…
Holidays = Gonna make a big meal on Christmas Day, with the following… Brown sugar-glazed ham Poached salmon w/ cucumbers, tomatoes, lemon, parsley, & herb butter Mashed potatoes Spatzle noodles Butter rolls Stollen bread Pumpkin cream cake German spice cookies Mulled cider Games = Started playing…
Art = Now December, and finally got a computer for making artworks, though it might be slow at first at practicing on the new MSPaint version. Only made six gifts for the holidays, and I’m not happy about it. But, I will give out gifts as scheduled, plus other completed works, and maybe photos (if…
Thanksgiving = Another nice dinner made for the holiday Citrus-honey glazed turkey Cornbread stuffing Green bean casserole Sour Cream & Chives mashed potatoes Hawaiian butter rolls Turkey gravy Cranberry sauce Sweet potato casserole Pumpkin pie Art = Due to the computer, which I make all my drawing…
Art = Main goal for November is to create some gifts for the holidays. As normal, these will be surprises and I won’t be mentioning much about what I’m working on or what I made. I will be focusing on folks who haven’t received any art from me at all. Current tally of completed gifts: seven. Update…
Gardening/Business = Things continue to get cooler, and plants are growing more slowly. So I’m going to end the farming season at the end of October, which was a month longer than last year. But I won’t be taking too big a break during the winter, as I will be working on big projects in preparation…
Gardening/Business = Days & nights have been getting cooler, so plants have been growing more slowly, even with a greenhouse. It doesn’t mean I won’t still be as busy, but I doubt I’ll be able to keep the business open as often. I’ve also decided to take a week off each month, to have extra time to…
Gardening = Drying tarragon & orange mint; transplanting oregano & basils Artwork = New month, new list of projects. This October, I’ll be working on historically accurate projects, in tanks, planes, & soldiers. My normal timeframe of projects is between 1948 to present day, sometimes I’d go back f…
Gardening/Business = While replenishing my collection of herb plants, I now am in a good position to begin a new venture to add to my herb business: Selling dried herbs. I have a hanging herb dryer, a collection of glass mason jars, and a cool dry place to store them. Art = Progress has been slow,…
Gardening/Business = I’ve been attempting an overhaul to try and catch up on my herb growing, while also stemming the horde of grasshoppers that have made my greenhouse into their home. I have currently set special traps for them, but I may have to attempt to lure in some predators into the greenho…
After the past week of more sickness, I didn’t feel like writing anything about it, plus I haven’t done much of anything while sick. But now I’ve gotten better and doing things again. What I have been sick with was actually a collection of fatigue, dehydration, stress, & blocked ears, which lead to…
Had been sick most of the week, so progress on things has been very slow, and mainly trying to figure out how to get better before the next farmer’s market. So anyway, a friend of mine has opened for commissions recently, so if you want some cool art drawn, go talk with him! He might open for a sma…
Farming/Business = Further upgrading my greenhouse with a misting system that will make it easier to work inside when it’s significantly hot. Been harvesting tomatoes for a few weeks now, and using them in various recipes. Art = Mainly working on fan art this month, from various video games, cartoo…
Farming/Business = Mainly been working to replenish what I had sold at the farmer’s market with new batches of plants, especially in a larger variety of herbs. My long term project with the greenhouse is not quite done yet, since I must get some extensions for the misting system for more consistent…
Apologies for another hiatus. Things have been hectic and had hurt a lot of my motivation in even writing a random journal, and it forced me to make a few critical changes in my life. Birthday = As of recently, I have turned 33 years old, a third of a century old now. Most that we had done include…
First off, I apologize for the lack of journals for pretty much the whole of June. One of my dogs had gotten herself hurt and required surgery to clean an opening in her side. We spent the entire month watching her 24/7, cleaning her wound and restricting her movements, I for one had taken a “shift…
Art = Been working on some gift fan art; re-outlining my G.55 fighter plane; designing some Azerbaijani machine guns Garden/Business = Sold a lot of herbs this week, but now I gotta scramble to replenish my stock in the next two weeks.

Gem Show: After a long hiatus, I finally got to be going back to these awesome big gem shows. The whole event itself occurred in many parts of the city, but we only had time to visit just one spot that had never disappointed us, and it still hasn’t. It was totally fun looking over the fantastic wor…

Dentistry = Had another trip to the dentist, and another two teeth restored. Still more teeth to work on, especially the one that’ll require a root canal procedure. Art = Completed a base design for Estelbach Guards infantry & heavy infantry. Finished a total of 12 different gift pieces for the hol…
Dentistry = Had my appointment for an hour of tooth restoration, and it turned out to be not what I initially thought it would be. I had two teeth restored to which they’re hardly recognized now and much better. It’s not over by a long shot, and I have several more appointments, including my proble…
Holiday Menus = As part of my tradition for the holidays, I usually lead the creation of menus & most of the cooking for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a few other holidays. It helps me to keep my cooking skills honed and to provide my family with good meals. So, I’ll show my current menus here… Than…
Tooth Surgery = This event in Friday had pretty much eaten all my attention just trying to prepare for it, which I did very little in anything else during the week. Anyway, the tooth in question, a broken molar which greatly limited my ability to eat on one side, has finally been removed, and I hav…
Livestreams = Earlier this week, I did the most unusual thing…played my own livestream for the first time. I admit it was terrifying to be in the spotlight rather than remain comfortable in the shadows as a lurker. But I am glad to do it, especially for friends. I will not stream on a regular basis…
Terrea = Had a revelation of some serious mistakes I made in my artwork, mainly of soldiers from the Kingdom of Estelbach. So I’ll be doing a major re-vamp of Estelbach soldier attire & weapons to better present as near-future soldiers. Re-did the battle rifles, assault rifles, machine guns, and so…
Weekend Trip = Last weekend, I had been away on a trip to help out some family in a local festival, and the hotel had crappy internet. The trip wasn’t bad, but I hadn’t been feeling well due to a bad toothache (which will be explained below), and the pain had put me in a sour mood. I didn’t want to…

Farming = Now I have a mess of herbs to sell at the market, it seems like I’ll end the business season on a high note. After the end of October, I’ll be taking a break for the winter, or until I complete the greenhouse and see if I can produce a large batch of plants in the cold weather. If all tha…
Farming = I have doubts about getting my greenhouse done before winter sets in, so I expect my growing season to end in November. So I’ve stopped sowing more seeds and focusing on selling the rest of my herbs for sale. After the season is over, I’ll have a LOT more time to complete the greenhouse a…
Biggest thing this week was one of my dogs had to be taken to a vet because of an itchy infection in her paw caused by a hot spot, for which she’s on medication for. The only issue is that a cone is needed to keep her off her paw, and she will NOT keep it on, no matter how many times I try putting…

Lavi jets, and started on some F-20 Tigersharks; made a squad of Storm Marines; started another squad of Estelbachtian infantry Farming = Began my pomegranat…
Farming = Since running a bit low in the number of plants for sale at the market, I’ll be juggling between building the greenhouse and growing more plants, mainly savory herbs like sage & oregano to even out with the masses of mints. Despite keeping the ants off the apple trees, I currently don’t h…

A very topsy tervy week for me, half of it was my certainly fault in terms of overreacting over the fate of the pixel art forum known as JuniorGeneral. For being a jerk, I apologize to those I’ve offended. Speaking of JuniorGeneral, the site which has guided me from 15 years of being depressed from…
Art = Completed my focus on gift art for the month, and now going back to my usual pattern to get some personal & historical projects done. Repairing some Azerbaijanji infantry fighting vehicles Farming = There is currently a delay on completion of the greenhouse, but only a minor snag. Collected s…
You may have noticed the absence of a weekly report last week. I can only say that it was a week I don’t want to experience again. This week hasn’t been very spectacular either, other than my 32nd birthday, which also wasn’t spectacular, since that day started with a trip to the dentist, and I had…
Farming = Missed last week’s farmer’s market, but that day was storming, so the market was probably cancelled anyway. Soon to have my big beautiful greenhouse Art = This month (my birthday month), I will be making a lot of random gift art for friends, some who haven’t had something new in a while,…

Farming = Another good week at the market, the challenge now is trying to replace what I sold so I can keep up the business every week. Best part is that I found a solution in preventing ants from hurting my apple trees any more, and have done so with two trees so far. Currently finished harvesting…
Farming = Sowed some borage seed; trimmed back some herbs; discovered that ants have been stripping away my apple trees, so looking at solutions; made an early shopping trip for more supplies Art = Completed the Tiran-5Sh tank, will add dozer blades & Blazer ERA later; finished another squad of my…
Surprising that a great week would suddenly turn 180 degrees the next week. Had nearly four days straight of migraines & mental breakdowns, and it kept me away from last week’s farmer’s market. The nitty gritty for the most part is over, and it will take a while for me to get back into the norm. Bu…
Farmer’s Market = Had one of my best days in the market, partly in thanks to a demo by another vendor who had bought a few herbs from me to do her demo, and it brought a lot of customers to my place. Also, I’ve been given an application to open my booth at a county garlic festival! A very good oppo…
Farming = Due to several emergencies, I ended up cancelling my part at the farmer’s market last week. But, I’ve used the time I missed to get some extra work done. Planted my watermelon crop for produce this season; trimming herbs; harvesting some raspberries Art = Again, work is at a snail’s pace.…
Farming = Traded a marjoram plant for a grapefruit mint at the farmer’s market (now I have SEVEN different types of mint!) Art = Finished A-7 Corsair II template; updating older aircraft artwork, including gifts; going to work on some bigger gift art projects Artist Pimpout = Quite a few artists op…
Farming Business = An amazing first day back working at the farmer’s market, almost felt like I never left. The main cons were the high winds, which kept us from setting up a canopy, and a hot cloudless sky, which is not a good thing for a pale-skinned vampire like me. But other than that, it went…
Farming Business = The first week of May is to be the beginning of year five of my business at the farmer’s market, making money to expand my business, and perhaps spend a little on art from friends. As anybody who has had a job will understand, the first week is always the hardest. So it will be m…
Art = Completed my Weapons Sheet, now with over 130 separate pieces of weaponry! Working on my 1st artillery piece; updating a few of my earlier works; making more art for friends & idols Game Design Document = To some of my newer watchers, I have been working on my first video game design document…
Art = Been working on updating my Weapons Sheet, which I often do by adding 50% of the current number. In this case, I have to make 40 pieces of weaponry, and it could be either guns, missiles, bombs, or blades. So far, I’ve already hit the half-way point, but it’s been taking longer to try & draw…
Road Rovers = Slowly getting back to RR-themed stuff. Organizing units of Admiral Storm’s (my OC, nephew of Zachary Storm) armed forces and other military groups made by me, the show, and other fans; finished an infantry squad of Storm Marines; working on some miniatures of OCs made by fellow fans…
Terrea = Finished more infantry units from Geminalli Empire & Estelbach, including a unit wearing NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) protection; began work on Estelbachtian chivalric orders; began work on dinosaur races Art = FINALLY compiling a small batch of finished Peshmerga soldiers, a very s…
First off, thanks to all for well wishes for my injured shoulder, which has already healed up as good as new. I’ve already gotten back into the swing of things, both work & art. Art = Speaking of which, I’ve been doing more gift art this week, updating stuff for good friends, and making presents fo…
Injuries = Somehow, I knotted up some muscles in my shoulder & upper back, which left me in a LOT of pain all week. Because of this, I had spent very little time on the computer, plus no new artwork. At this point, the pain is just about gone, so I should be able to get back to drawing. Terrea = Co…
Terrea = Completed a San Cloe Army Platoon HQ; still compiling a list of potential creatures to feature as sentient races (87 so far); thinking about setting up a dA group to Terrea sometime this fall; re-vamping general summaries of several of my nations Family = Took my dog Rocky to the vet, and…
Art = New month, new focus. Gonna try & balance out historical work & gift art for friends. Made two camouflage patterns for the Cypriot National Guard; completed another OC superhero for a friend Gardens = Propagated some peppermint, and now got 12 more plants for the market this spring (gonna be…
National Black History Month = Last but not least: Sammy Davis Jr. One of my favorite classic entertainers, I knew of him at first as an actor on The Cannonball Run, and eventually experienced his additional talents as a singer & comedian on home movies. Like many black entertainers in his time, he…
National Black History Month = The 92nd Infantry Division. Few years earlier, I did a project of the 92nd in my artwork, a full platoon & a collection of heavy weapons. The 92nd served in both World War 1 & 2, and both times suffered segregation & discrimination in the midst of war, often blamed fo…
National Black History Month = 389th Infantry Regiment, AKA the Harlem Hellfighters. Formerly the 12th New York National Guard Regiment, the Hellfighters were reformed in time for service in World War 1 as the first black unit to join the American Expeditionary Force, but due to racism, the unit we…
National Black History Month = My first hero: George Washington Carver. He began his life as a slave in the midst of the American Civil War, and ended as a pioneer of modern agriculture. A lover of arts & nature, he overcame challenges to study in an integrated school and he became the only black a…
Art: Found an existing F-15 template & modified to several variants, a tandem-seat Strike Eagle with conformal fuel tanks, & a single seat earlier model. Began re-working the F-15I Ra’am of the Israeli Air Force 69 Squadron, finished half so far. Farming: Planted a small pomegranate tree Art/Social…
General = Took about a week, but the plumbing problem, mainly from a septic tank failure about 20 years ago, has been just about fixed. Terrea = Adding more extinct animals to my list of sentient races, including European hyenas & cheetahs, & quite a few North American wolves & saber-tooth cats. Al…
General = It has not been a good week for me. Injuries, though minor, sickness, plumbing problems, lack of drive to do any form of work. Hopefully things will get better by the next weekend. Terrea = Completed my 1st true (no longer needing modifications) fighting squad of Estelbach’s Royal Army Gu…
A year has come & gone, good & bad & best & worst times. But each year had been a small series of milestones, and 2015 was no exception. Some of my personal best include: Ending a year at the farmer’s market in a profit, though not much Harvested some fruit crop and sold some at the market (one of…
Also my last journal of 2015! Holidays = Made Christmas dinner, which turned out rather decent. Gifts received: $25 gift card & 3 DVDs. Finished giving out art gifts for the holidays. Future gifts will be given out more randomly throughout the year until next fall. Food = Made a sweet potato casser…
Terrea = Collecting names & info of any & all extinct animals, and perhaps some prehistoric critters. They will be featured in Terrea as among the planet’s races alongside humans. Preparing to revamp some OCs Junior General – Peshmerga = Completed woodland soldier batches with AK-47, AKM, AK-74, &…
My Week’s Progress Terrea = Creating base uniforms for Estelbach, organizing infantry platoons for my nations: Estelbach, San Cloe, Geminalli Empire, Narxxus Empire, Virium Axtalae, & Ryokugon Peshmerga for Junior General = Working on a collection of soldiers, in US Woodland fatigues (the most comm…
Finished my collection of holiday gift art for Dec, and will post them over a period of several days up to Christmas. Several friends will be getting more fun stuff from me, and a few that have never gotten anything from me before. This doesn’t mean a general end to gift giving, just not as often a…
A Happy Veterans Day to all those who served in the years past, to those who still serve, and those whose families have gone to serve. And a Happy Armistice Day to our friends beyond the American borders, as even though we would bear strong differences of opinion, this day shows that all nations ha…
Now that November’s in, time for my new tradition: Making a large batch of gift art for the December holidays. Making stuff for old friends, associates, idols, or simply cool people, that I’ll give out just days before Christmas. I already have a big list to pick out, so I’m not opening any form of…
I guess I’m like many others in these sites that have had moments where we don’t seem as active as we usually are. But then, I do have a life beyond this computer. Speaking of which, I am reaching the end of the farming season this year, with much of my herbs & plants dying back until spring of nex…
Just to show I'm still alive. You started to play videogames at the age of...? About 10 years First game you ever played? Test Drive 5 First console you owned? Playstation Consoles you own/owned? Playstation, PS2, Nintendo GameCube, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance SP, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 Your favo…
The end of the summer season, and hopefully the end of the crazy heat for the rest of the year. As you probably noticed, summer has been pretty slow & monotone for me, keeping me on a rather repetitive schedule that revolved around my work in the farming business, and struggling to keep on track wh…
August, final month of hot weather, but hopefully not the final month of these good rainy days. After 5 long years of care & patience, I finally had a full crop of apples, only for them to suddenly & mysteriously disappear, and I’m guessing thieves have snuck in and stolen my apples, and they weren…
And now, to ramble on about an idea I’ve been putting together for story writing and possibly commissioned artwork. I don’t often talk about fanships of any movie or genre, but an old fanship that had recently resurfaced would be about the Jungle Books and its many variations in film & TV. So now I…
I obviously haven’t been talkative much, despite my recent postings. Most of the time becomes either too boring or too hectic that it never seems interesting enough to talk about it. The monsoons came, so I’ve gotten a boost for my gardens & my farming business, though signs also show the effects o…
Finally got some art done, though it was more of stuff I had started long ago and was already on the road to finishing them. Still a few more to finish, and then things might get even slower when I start on some newer projects. The main part of my life right now, the farming business at the farmer’…
It was the most amazing first weeks back to work, and the hype is still getting to me several days later, probably as well as anxiety & fear to try and continue on the high note. It’ll probably take a few more weeks for my mind to completely settle. Because of this and other things, I haven’t done…
First off, my biggest news… On the first week of May, I’ll be returning to work on my garden business at the local farmer’s market! I’ve done well in preparations to the point I might start off with a good profit! Now what would this mean? I won’t be online often, and I won’t be as busy with art. A…
Fictional War Concepts: I know I got a LOT of other projects (true history & non-historical) to work on, but I’ve written down some recent ideas that could be of interest for my creativity. The ideas are as follows… 1975 Battle of Los Angeles – No, this is not an outright invasion of the States by…
IMVU & FA: I have no idea, no clue, no thoughts, & no real plan of action about this. I have no intentions of leaving FA unless something drastic happens. Until then, I make sure I stay in touch with friends that might be leaving, and I keep doing what I do best…stay weird & draw weird art, lol. Wo…
Farming season has begun, albeit slowly due to frost potential on Mar & Apr. But the hardier herbs have already started to grow like weeds and may need some work to prepare for the farmer’s market in May. LIFE PROGRESS Gardening – Still digging dirt around garden plot, sowing new herb seeds, trimmi…
Well, things at home seem to be going fine so far. Only downer is knowing when some friends & associates are feeling down in the dumps over various things, and a few even made it clear that kind words won’t help. And not to forget that some friends have ramped up slots for commissions to pay for re…
Life Progress: Gardening – Still digging dirt around garden plot, sowing new herb seeds, trimming berry vines & tree branches Jewelry – Rosary beads (4th string of 10 beads) Battle of Kolwezi Project – Researching FFL vehicles, Belgian paratroopers, Zairean & Moroccan troops, Katanga separatists &…
Life Progress: Gardening – Still digging dirt, making hole for new fruit tree, either cherry or pluot Jewelry – Still working on first rosary beads Battle of Kolwezi Project – Working on French Foreign Legion support weapons XF-108 Rapier Blank – Silhouette finished, working on final details Israel…
Ok, THIS is my final update for the year 2014… First off, the game plan for the future video game featuring all our characters. As the brainchild that concocted this scheme, I figured it’d be my responsibility to start off with doing the artwork, animation, & gameplay design, and this would be grea…
Well, two more ragers struck off my watch list (this week alone), and some artwork I made for those jerks are taken down. Wow, again I tend to keep finding some people I thought were cool and they turn out to be douchebags. And the annoying part is either being ignored or have your head bitten off…
Yep, another wild idea for a video game…but wait, I think I can be able to make this one myself! With the proper game-making program, a run-through of my old game-making school book, and a LOT of practice in animated sprites, it just might be possible! But it’s going to be a LONG process in practic…
Starting off to say that I am still alive and kicking and drawing. Right now, I have been pretty busy cranking out art for the holidays, like gifts for people that have never gotten anything from me yet, a 1:72-scale Santa Claus & sleigh, part two of the Battle of Kolwezi project, and some of my Ge…
At this point, if I’m not coming up with any art this week, I might as well make a journal. Right now, my priorities in art are the following: I am making some small gifts for friends, especially those that haven’t gotten anything from me yet. Those I finished I will present on the Christmas week.…
First off, an update concerning my father. So far, the documents he filed were for a “legal separation”, though he has often said that nothing at home will change. But everybody has asked him why is he doing this if nothing was supposed to change, and he has never given an answer. I ultimately beli…
Good news, bad news, & perhaps some good news again. Good News: My farming season for the 2014 year is at an end, with my plants dying back into hibernation for the winter. This means work on my future berry garden, a Youtube account for my videos, and extra time for my pixel art & jewelry making.…
Certainly a not-so-dull few weeks. First off, I have been gone for the Columbus Day weekend on vacation, meeting relatives, visiting a zoo, and some shopping. Even got my hands on a model kit to use as barter for a future commission! I was able to pop on the net from time to time, but as it was a m…
First off, I am SO thrilled with all my first commissions from amazing artists! But since I still need to improve my farming business for next year, I can’t spend another penny until near the end of next year. The only exception right now is a commish that is being worked on by a friend currently s…
First off, a shout-out to a buddy on FA. He’s been working on an art tutorial and has asked for some support in finishing & fine-tuning it. Check it out here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6121635/ And now for the main news… All I got left now are a few more planes I can finish very quickly, a…
See? I can still do my own artwork! Only waiting on two more commishes before I hold onto my money bag for a full year. Since getting my farming business improved is still very tough, I’m gonna have to need every penny I can get. Other than that, my week hasn’t been all that good. But, there’s alwa…
This week’s gotten a bit better in the farming business with the extra time to work, and hopefully I’ll be able to extend my season another month on the sun-dried herbs I harvested. In art, I have only 2 more birthday gifts to finish, one of which is due in less than THREE days! I gotta get crankin…
As the title says, check it out! http://www.livestream.com/ulricsaudiohourandmore
Another week gone by, and actually a bit normal, if not droll. No new art, mainly because I’m still working on birthday gifts for September & October, which is coming along fine, though not yet finished. If I keep on it good enough, I should be done before the end of August! Afterwards, I’ll do ano…
While I’m working on next month’s birthday gifts, I’ll use this week’s journal to yak about other stuff I’ve been planning. Despite the lingering writer’s block around my Road Rover fanfic, Ghosts of Ovitznia, I’ve been able to compile some ideas for a few unrelated stories. Order of the Red Cloak…
Wow, quite a few projects I finished this week! I was on a roll! I still have a bunch of planes not yet done, but I’ll take a break from that for a bit. This week I’ll be working on more personal characters of mine, including: A WW2 Finnish soldier (already posted his written profile) A Thai-breed…
WARNING: THIS MESSAGE WILL CONTAIN MILITARY JARGIN THAT WILL BE CONFUSING TO SOME. READER DISCRESSION IS ADVISED. ^ But before we get to that, I wanna give a BIG ‘THANK YOU’ to all those who gave me a happy birthday! Hitting the 3rd decade is quite a milestone out of the realm of typical delinquenc…
First off, some news concerning my US Veteran’s Day Tribute. Even though I never got any volunteers, I hunted down enough names & refs to get the project started! But guess what…? I’ve decided to do TWO of these tribute pics! One for those from DeviantArt, and the other from FurAffinity! The FA lis…
First off, I’m keeping this “collab” thing open until the lists fill up, so check here to find out what I’m talking about: https://www.weasyl.com/journal/56911/update-5 Now on to other stuff. This past week was a little crazy for me, which was a bit messed up by a pet-sitting job I took on for the…
Be prepared…to hear what wild idea I just came up with, and YOU might be able to take part in it! The weird ideas are some “collaborative” art pieces (I still do all the work), some of them as tribute pictures to those who served in either military or police here in the States and around the world,…
Getting some old art done and/or fixed, but I want to take a moment for a little vent, concerning some things that began building up, and I better let it out before it blows up further in the future. The issue of course has been with a certain individual (no name policy) who eventually revealed to…
This week was a bit hectic to the point I never really got any art done, so I’m going to change a few things. Each week, I’ll try to start off with a few “quickies”, or some random pieces of art, before I get on my bigger projects, especially some BIG stuff I plan on completing at the end of the ye…
Another slightly overdue weekly. Main part of it was the mental conditioning to write down everything that I wanted and not forget anything or put down something I might regret. This includes venting, which is not something I want to expose to my watchers & viewers. Doesn’t mean I don’t get very ba…
Hey All! I got a teammate that hit a snag in life, and needs some money to keep him fed until he gets himself back into the game. He’s got a neat graphic novel style of art and specializes in military, historical, and some action movies. He prices decently for his work, so it should be no trouble t…
Been a while since I showed up and began posting random junk on here. I never really planned out what I really wanted to do on this account, but I think I found an idea. Since my specialty is paper miniatures, I'll be using this account primarily for free print-&-play anthro soldiers (some humans t…
