Having to run from the Tank alone *once* is not cool. Having to do it *twice* in ten minutes suggests you did something very horrible in your past life, and your karma's now biting you in the arse.




I was playing Death Toll (from Left4Dead) on Expert difficulty with Kim tonight, and he died when the Tank spawned at the farmhouse in Chapter 3 - BOTH TIMES. (We messed up the crescendo event at the end of the chapter the first time around by getting ourselves killed for no good reason, and had to repeat the chapter). And, given that the bots are always stupid enough to hang around and get themselves killed, that left *me* to run all over the deserted road with a flaming Tank hot on my heels (thank the Force for molotov cocktails!) - and, after the goddamn thing died, to run like crazy back to the farmhouse *before* the horde hit. [*Barely* made it back in time both times too.]. No fun, I tell you. It was bad enough getting the Man vs Tank achievement way back when. I don't particularly feel the need to play Tag With Tanky now!

Why does this almost *always* happen to *me*?

MORE DISTRACTION

My sterling ability to make plans and then completely veer off course amazes me. [shakes head dolefully]



Given that I don't even *like* plants, why in space did I even feel compelled to put so many in this picture?

I am in love with her. You don't do ladies nearly enough, because they are always amazing. <3

Thanks!

Yeah, I don't draw women very much, partly because, for a very long time, the women I drew looked nothing like women. Or at least, they looked like women on steroids. [One of my best friends once commented that a sign I had progressed in art was that my ladies now look *feminine* ROFL ROFL.]

I love the cartoon, and ADORE the pic! Part Mucha, part late Rossetti with his love of beautiful women and flowers. The line art is just so amazing!

Thanks, Despard! Would you believe it, I couldn't remember who "the guy who painted Abelarda's avatar" was until you said Rossetti. [facepalm. is hopeless]

Love the WIP! Is it of anything in particular?

Cheers!

And because I have a little black heart and have an awful sense of humour, I'll ask you back: does it look like it's of anything/anybody in particular? ;)

Oh God, I hope I don't get it wrong. I thought it was an art nouveau/ bohmeian thing with physical manifestations of the four seasons and this was summer?

You give me way too much credit for planning my picture(s)! But I like the idea of a physical manifestation of the four seasons; it sounds far more artistic than, "Just a particular girl because I felt like drawing her." :D [I'm a terrible spur-of-the-moment person.]
