Well, I finally got to do some more sculpting, however my trial licence had expired by today and using a 2nd e-mail address to get another key wasn't working, so I decided to give Mudbox a try. Best decision ever, I'm used to working with Maya and 3DsMax so I got the hang of it in no time, still have some stuff to fix but I think the base mesh is getting close to finished WIP pics:
If you’re not reading Dogpatch Press, you should be watching Culturally F’d! It’s the Furry youtube series that asks: Where does the love of anthropomorphics come from? How far back can we dig in history and mass media to really get to the bottom of it? Why does every culture across the face of the earth have […] View the full article
I heard that a UFO is actually going hit the earth soon, I think sometime in November. From the look of it they are saying it's just space rock and it'll land in the ocean. But I know what some might be thinking it is.
My shipment just got a tracking number! Soon I'll have the "little souvenir" I purchased in Sedona, Arizona. I already posted a picture of it in The Consumerism Thread, when I initially bought it. It was much too big and heavy to take on the plane, not that I'd want to risk damaging it by doing so anyways. (The airport had this lovely little wall of art, too: http://imgur.com/a/oSmZz ) There were tons of neat little gifts and souvenirs at the Grand Canyon. Sedona also has a ton of shops and art

I'm currently following Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I have watched X-Files, Agent Carter, some Warehouse 13, Farscape, CGI Clone Wars, and Rebels. I haven't really gotten too much into the comic verse, though I do have Watchmen and am following the latest Invader ZIMs. How about you guys?
Finally! Do you have any idea how long it takes to upload pictures this size to Imgur? Boy do I ever! These are a selection of the better images I pulled from my camera: http://imgur.com/a/bt6bN I also grabbed a few with my phone, including a handful of panorama photos! Not quite as good quality or as big, but there's still some nice ones. A couple filler images that were originally intended to be included with the travelogue Odyssey, LOLITS, Day 1, Campground, and Day 2 posts are present as wel
Headlines, links and little stories to make your tail wag. Guest posts welcome. Tips: patch.ofurr@gmail.com. NPR interviews Tempe O’Kun, furry favorite author (again.) Hear the interview on the radio site. Talk to Tempe on his FA post about it. About a year ago, NPR station Prairie Public’s “Main Street” show interviewed Tempe about cuddly Furry romance writing. Lucky dog! It was 23 minutes of super respectful […] View the full article
Continuing with the second day of the hike, I figured I'd just give a quick run down of the highlights rather than a detailed story-like entry. I had the foresight to make notes at various points on the trail, so most of the important details are have not been forgotten, even though I didn't get as many pictures on the second day. The imgur pictures will be up either later today or tomorrow. 7:00 am - Up and at 'em! Still majorly sore from the day before, but it shakes of quickly and I'm left

Well the last entry had no votes and 1 like (thanks Vae!) so I'm going to post more I guess. Both images are from the second day of hiking. In the bottom image, you can see on of the long straight stretches that make up the majority of the middle and very start of the Bright Angle Trail. I'm working on Imgur galleries so I can post full size images with way more than 2 in a single post.
You never know what Halloween will bring in San Francisco. You can tour an Erotic Haunted House based on “Dante’s Inferno”, at a landmark castle (used as a BDSM porn studio), full of circus performers ready to give an amazing show. That was Hell In The Armory. It’s the only place I’ve been that has great job opportunities for evil masturbating clowns. […] View the full article

Is it so wrong to question if this world is still a beautiful place to be? Is it so wrong to ask for proof that this world is still worth living in? Is it so wrong to crave a release from all of this? Life has dealt hand after hand and I've played its game. I'm ready to fold; always ready. Yet....I continue. I ask myself, "Why?" "Why do you keep moving forward?" ... ... ... I'm always met with silence. A silence that gives me no sense of solace.

6016x4000 That is what the camera takes these images at... but the image uploader chokes on that and they're nearly all over 10 MB in size, so here are some down-sized versions! Still 3008x2000, though! I took over 500 images on my trip but I expect a number of them won't have turned out well, as I am the most amateur of photographers. If there's any interest in this pair, I'll upload more! Maybe at a lower res, so I can fit more than 2 in a post...
