    I did up a quick and rough tutorial for coloring a dude’s face in Photoshop. This is my first time using FLV video of my own creation so bear with me :) [flv:https://borkweb.com/video/Coloring.flv 550 344]

    Here’s a character sketch I did for a fellow member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Acheron, modeled after Briareos Hecatonchires from the Anime film Appleseed, is depicted here with sub machine guns. Using a toy as a reference, I drew this with my Intuos3 tablet. Overall, I liked the way it came out!

    Thursday before Thanksgiving, users of the myPlymouth portal at Plymouth State were greeted by an altered header graphic similar to that of the Halloween theme I had done for the previous month. This one, however, changed daily for 9 days.

    The Master at Arms from the Dark Jedi Brotherhood contacted me and asked me to do another character drawing of his character, Kraval Novir. He looks a little pissed, is reclining in his command chair, and holds his lightsaber. All in all, I think it turned out alright.

    Chuck Norris is a god among men, legendary warrior, and all around deadly guy as I’ve stated before. It turns out that Mike Huckabee knows of this powerful force of roundhouse-kicking-bearded fury as well. Watch and be blown away: Thanks to UNH Mike from who’s blog I found this awesome piece of work.

    Right before Halloween, my wife put our daughter in a pumpkin for a cute photo-shoot: Not wanting to be out-done, I put Sam in a turkey for a Thanksgiving photo shoot: Overall, both pictures turned out nicely. She was surprisingly calm for both. Note: due to the surprising number of people that actually think the…

    I’ve begun the design of custom headers for holiday themed portal action in Plymouth State University‘s portal. Here’s a quick turkey sketch I did with my Wacom tablet in preparation for a Thanksgiving themed header. I’m still a little undecided on what I plan to do with the header as a whole. I have a…

    [[innerindex]] Intro Two years ago I rocked the house with a sweet Scooby Doo costume. Last year I was a Ninja (but aren’t I always?). This year was a bit different…a bit more traditional/spooky/subtle. Black Sclera contacts. For those of you that don’t know and are slightly curious, Sclera Contacts are contacts that cover…well…the sclera:…

    While browsing YouTube as I typically do when I’m bored in the evenings, I found The Guild. The show focuses on “Codex”, a female WoW addict and her guild’s in and out of game interactions. The star, Felicia Day, is also the writer and has done an amazing job at capturing the varied personalities that…

    Following Dee‘s lead I have made a couple of JibJab videos over the past week and a half, each making me laugh out loud. The above is a newly released custom JibJab video knocking Republicans :) JibJab, of course, has a Democrat bashing version as well. Great fun stuff.

    I was browsing UNH Mike‘s blog last night and stumbled on to this little gem. While the following video is just a humorous snippet with an entertaining song and very blunt, the video’s overall purpose was a good one. I used to have the Strong Kids, Safe Kids video when I was little and remember…
