Updates

Went to my first ever college-level football game.
The game itself was just as "meh" as the THMS games I've been to, but I still had fun :)
The band was, as usual, blow-your-socks-off amazing. Even if we were so far away the sound lagged from their movements, it was still awesome :) And the screen.
Homigosh, the screen. I swear, I spent more time staring at that screen of goodness than the field itself. (until they covered the band's halftime show with a bunch of ads and then I ignored it as much as the actual game OTL)
And during halftime, too, there were these little kids that had to be fresh out of Elementary School playing on the field. They were so tiny and adorable--and DANG can they run! No, seriously, this one kid ran halfway across the field in one go to score a goal--TWICE! I liked their game better than the UofA game, in all honesty--maybe because I knew they were just playing for fun, but I dunno.
Another really fun part was the people in front of us. Annoyingly loud as only football fans could be, but amusing to watch nonetheless. There was this one guy about three rows down from us that had a foam finger, and every time they showed someone in the crowd with one on the screen he'd jump up and wave it so hard I was convinced it was going to fly up and hit me in the face while he yelled "FOAM FINGER!!!!!!!" At the top of his lungs.
I'm pretty sure I'll have a headache most of tomorrow, but it was worth it. I had fun, overall.


Also, this year is going annoyingly fast. Seriously, I'm having a total YJ Robin moment:
"September?! What happened to March?!"
I mean, seriously. My dad keeps counting down how many weeks left I have in school, even though we just started three weeks ago. 34 freaking weeks! And then I'm not in High School any more! Can you believe that? And if you can, could you explain it to me? Because I sure as heck don't get it.


OH! I've also started a sort of side-blog to accompany this one:
http://sincerelydoubtfulproductions.blogspot.com/
That blog will be solely for stories and/or chapters; nothing more. It's not got anything yet, but I plan on having most if not all of my incomplete works put up on there. My plan is to work on a story/fanfic/whatever on the blog itself, then when I deem it complete enough I'll post it either on FictionPress or FF.net.
I'm trying it this way because with my KH fanfic ATJ, I quickly realized that A) there's little to no consistency plot-wise, B) I changed my mind frequently and would randomly add/change things, and C) there were long stretches of inactivity during which my writing style would change, or my influences mashed around, or whatever. And since I'd rather not pull a George Lucas with the whole "Consistency? What is this consistency you speak of?" thing, I'm going to get as far as I can with a story (if not completing it all together) BEFORE I show it to the mass public.
Don't get me wrong--that blog'll be as public as this one. But I know for a fact FF.net has more traffic than blogger, so the mass public is more likely to read something off there than here. (especially on a blog that's school-project-turned-inactive-turned-ranting-space)
AND I'm making another blog as we speak for ATJ for the same reason. I'm giving ATJ its own because, honestly, I need to have all of that stuff in one place otherwise I think I'll go crazy XD
http://SinDoubtPresentsATJ.blogspot.com


As for Pottermore: Not quite as active as I'd like to be on there, but whatevs. Only the first book is available at the moment, and I've gone through it a few times, so I'm trying not to overkill it. I'm as good at potions as Neville, honestly, and the spell casting is only letting me learn Incendio. I would duel but no one else will duel me, so I've basically got no way to keep the ruddy Slytherins from winning the House Cup. We've got more members, but no matter what we do, they still beat us by ten points. I swear, Snape's awarding them extra for potions or something. (By WE I mean Ravenclaws, naturally.) Last I checked the order for House Points was Slytherin -> Ravenclaw -> Hufflepuff -> Gryffindor. (Haha, Harry's costing the Gryffindor's house points again) It's kind of funny; the more I think on it the less I see me as a Puff. I mean, yeah, I think I'll always have some Puff-like qualities, but I'm totally rockin' the Ravenclaw at the moment X3

THE DO'S:

1.) What brought you to dA? (DA meaning DeviantArt)
A fanart of the Murauders

3.) If you were to fall into one fashion label category, what would it be? (preppy, athleticwear, goth, etc..)
...Nerd? I dunno; I don't know labels well enough to tell.


4.) Shaken or stirred?
Don't drink

5.) The worst possible thing that could happen to you in public?
I'd rather not think on that

6.) Phobias?
See 5

7.) If you could force two people/ocs/whatevers to wed, who would they be and why?
America and Common Sense. Because Common Sense in America is like Cake in the game Portal: A LIE

8.) What's one of your worst pet peeves?whenpeopleuse, liek, horable gramer on emportent asignments and stuffReally, people. It's one thing if you're typing at one in the morning on a blog because you had too much Mountain Dew before the football game. It's another if you're handing in an English essay--or worse yet, a story you want someone else to read.

9.) Do you liek mudkpz?Funny story on that, actually; the first and only Pokemon card I've ever owned is a mudkip.
(To those who don't know: Two years ago, DevArt swapped everyones icons for April fool's day for one that says 'so i heard u liek mudkipz?' and it's since been a bit of a running gag for those of us who were there.)

10.) If I could improve one thing in my art/general presence on dA, it would be..?
DevArt- submitting stuff and being more active all around
Art in general - Stop relying on bases and find my own style for once
Writing - expanding my characters

A ringtailed leamur, because they're my favorite type of monkey


Last section


1. Your favorite dessert? Any kind of home-made dessert
2. Do you like amusement parks?  Eh. Nothing beats Disney.
3. Worst thing you've done to your best friend?  All but ignored her for most of Middle School
4. Your favorite oc of yours?  Aanyx, if only because I've had her the longest. In all technicality, I took my first ever self-insert and turned it into her, so she's come a long way :) Though I do also really like Spider King because his MMD model turned out AMAZING
5. What kind of video games do you like?  Mostly "dungeon-crawlers" as my dad calls them--the type of RPG where you can explore and really get into the storyline. My current favorites are the KH series (and always will be) Marvel Ultimate Alliance (Superheroes FTW) and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (has the most detailed Hogwarts and the most areas you can actually explore. It's like every Potter Geek's dream come true...)
6. What would you dress up as for Halloween?  Probably a Ravenclaw student, honestly. If I can convince my parents to let me go fabric shopping, then MAYBE either Roxas or Sora, but that's pretty slim chance...
7. If you could eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? No idea. I'd imagine I'd get tired of just one thing for the rest of my life. Maybe some kind of glitch-free Wonka product that can taste like whatever I feel like eating or something...
8. Would you rather be a fish or sloth? My first answer would be fishy, but that's only because I don't know as much about sloths.
9. Do you like dA? I do but I don't. I like that you can browse through everyone's art, but I don't like that there seem to be more vulgar people and more art thieves about...

Potter and More

I got my welcome letter today! I'm so happeh, I spent all of lunch and my lack-of-seventh-period on the betasite.
And I got sorted!!!!!!! Surprisingly Ravenclaw, but I suppose I can understand the reasoning behind it...
So in honor of my official sorting, I've jazzed up my Deviantart icon and the layout of my blog :D

Harry Potter series (c) JK Rowling

I wouldn't say I'm proud to be a Ravenclaw....If I could choose I'd rather be a Hufflepuff. But I suppose that's the whole point, isn't it? It's not about where I want to go--it's about where I ought to go.

I think I'd grow to like it, if I were actually in Ravenclaw house.
Though once the beta testing is over, I might make a new account and try for Hufflepuff ^^;


ABOUT THE NEW BANNER
More info is in the column to the left about the banner itself.
I've noticed, though, that this year seems to be a very violent, aggressive one. People are more on edge and more likely to be nasty lately, myself included. I feel more violent than before--it's kinda scary. What's worse is that everyone's noticed but no one's done anything about it.
Or maybe I'm just noticing it more because I'm trying not to be like that? I'm not sure, but I do know that I don't like it. I don't like feeling so negative about everything....

Well, hopefully Yoga will help me through that.

Cheetahs never prospah...

Original base by ~xkelbix on DevArt

Almost everyone in the KH fanbase makes their OC a lion in Pridelands, the world made for Lion King. Before Aanyx was one, too, but when I saw the original base I used for this I decided to change my mind.
So now Aanyx is a cheetah. A crazily miscolored cheetah, but a cheetah nonetheless :3
Even though it was a very minor edit, I really like the way this came out :3 I changed the hair on the base's head into Aanyx's bangs and added a claw to the dewclaw XD The colors I totally cheated with, because they're straight off my MMD model for Aanyx OTL
But that's okay, because I made the background completely from scratch using ONLY the spray can tool on MSPaint X3 I like the sort of fingerpaint/pixelart look it has:

I think the grass is my favorite....


S'yeah, not a whole lot to update with. Just felt like sharing my two-some-hour masterpiece :3 I would've put it on Deviantart but I've been so horribly inactive on there it's not worth bothering with. The only reason I got an account on there in the first place was so that I could look through all the art without DevArt pestering me to sign up every five seconds....>.>
But I digress.

Last day of the Summer

Holy Swiss Cheese, Batman! It's already the end of Summer? When did THAT happen?!?!

SO, first of all, an update: My life's gonna be a little hectic as this first few weeks roll through. For one, it's the start of my Senior year. For two, next Wednesday is my parents' 20th Anniversary. Yeah, the third day of school, go fig.
For three, my poor Boxer puppeh has some kind of ear infection or something. I don't really understand, only that he's had it for a while apparently and because he kept flipping his head he got these bumps on the flaps of his ears that are filled with blood. I'm a little scared for him, but I KNOW that he'll be okay after the meds. He has to.
I feel guilty though, because in order to clean his ears out and put in the medicine we have to hold him down and force the stuff in his ears. He's really the sweetest, most lovable dog on the planet--even if he's caught about the slightest thing he has to sit in a corner and pout. He wants so hard to make us happy, and every time we hold him down he looks at me like he's scared he's done wrong and is being punished for it.
Seriously, he's like an Eeyore incarnate. It makes me feel all depressed and wanna cry knowing that he's in pain. Because he's not my pet. He's my little brother, dangit, and I really, REALLY wish I could just make it all go away, especially seeing him held down--or even holding him down myself. He doesn't deserve the force, or any punishment worse than a warning and a point.
The poor baby...

Okay, now that that's out of the way....

In honor of it being the last day, and in Kudos to Kingdom Hearts II, I'll be finishing my MMD explination thingy via a scene from KHII.
(WARNING: SPOILERS)

In the beginning of KH2, you play through the tutorial as a character called Roxas. Roxas lives in Twilight Town with his best friends Heyner, Pence, and Olette, where he is currently enjoying the freedom of Summer Vacation. You go through Roxas' last week of Summer before he's supposed to go back to school (Following the hints of the series, he'd be starting Junior year.) But Roxas soon remembers his true self--Number XIII of Organization XIII--and realizes that merging with his Somebody, Sora, is enevidable.
Roxas' last line until the end of the game will always and forever tug at my heartstrings:

"Sora...You're lucky.......................Looks like my Summer Vacation's..............OVER.........." 

 I know, it's so depressing :/ Every time I play the game I cry in three different places: this quote, Axel's death, and the fall of Organization XIII.
But I digress.

I'll talk about the process tomorrow or something--it's late and I have to be up at six tomorrow. :/

Is he strong? Listen, bud--

HE'S GOT RADIOACTIVE BLOOD!

Haha, I'm such a nerd :P

Okay, so you know how I rambled the other day about that new Marvel Ultimate Alliance game that we got? Well since we've been playing it, like, every night, I've been inspired to make Super Heroes.
But I'm also in a bit of a KH kick so I've begun combining the two :D

I found this pic off Deviantart the other day and it totally fueled my inspiration-ness!

IMAGE IS (C) THEAMAZINGLADYSHOE ON DEVIANTART!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really liked the one in the upper left corner. It made me wanna MMD-iffy it.
So I did.

Model by NiladTheRogue

.....sortof....
And then I went on a texture-mutilating rampage. I gave him a mask and re-colored his outfit first, but then I kept changing it and then I gave him pants off the Project Diva KAITO and now he's mah baby and I wubbles him :3

Sky Dome by Pac-Mau, Sora by NiladtheRogue, Pants/shoes from Project Diva KAITO, bodysuit texture from Valforwing's boneless Spiderman

Allow me to present: Spider King! I've whored used him so much it's scary obsessive. Especially given I started him yesterday and I finished thismorning. Seriously.
His body suit gave me the most trouble. I wanted it to be textured like Spider Man's but I couldn't find a texture that would work. For most of yesterday it was just a sort of charcoal black, but then this morning I was all like "Hello, Megan!" (Obligatory YJ reference is obligatory) and I remembered that the other day I downloaded a Spiderman that didn't have any bones. But it was a legit Spidey, with legit ripped textures and everything, so I didn't delete it. I'm really glad that I didn't because it's pain-in-my-rear texture saved my model.
And man, was it a pain to deal with. The original texture was shadowed (like most are to give the model a 3d look) so I had to take a tiny square sample of it, then make a bigger sample by lining up a gazillion of the smaller samples to make the new texture.
The mask was even worse, because no matter what shape I cut the texture sample into, it wouldn't cooperate properly--it kept overlapping on the hair or the eyes or whatever. So I finally gave up after monkeying with it for an hour and just half-arsed it. None of the little oval thingies line up, but I don't care because it's not that noticable.


Spider King is a total Seme. Seriously, he's like the Bruce Wayne of Superheroes. (No, not the Batman. The Bruce Wayne. Because Bruce is a Bamf and Batman is already a hero.) Spider King has no affiliation to Spider Man except for the fact that they were bitten by the same breed of spider.
Sora Leonheart, meanwhile, is...well, he's KH!Sora's reincarnate. Clumsy, ditzy, VERY airheaded. And tends to frequently pout. FREQUENTLY. Sora's biology class took a field trip to a genetics lab, where they got hands-on experience with the scientists that worked there. Unfortunately, during one of the labs, one of his classmates' spiders got free and went missing--ultimately biting Sora on the wrist.
After insistance by his teacher to get it looked at, Sora was set free with absolutely no side-effects--that could be seen, that is.
Shortly thereafter, Sora found himself with the same powers of Spiderman, thus leading him to take on the persona of Spider King.

Haha, last-minute-plots are fun to write.
Now be prepared to be spammed with 19 more pictures of Spider King :P

I had to shorten the hood a little so that his emblem would be visible OTL

 I'm not exactly happy with his feet just yet but I'll find a texture for them eventually.

He's still just as tall as the original Sora model :D yay for consistency!

I've got mixed feelings about his emblem, too. :/ It's supposed to be a spider but it looks more like an ant to me...

The thing on top of the spider is supposed to be a crown, too. I'll definately be editing that in the near future....

I really like how this one came out for some reason....I think it's because you can't see his eyes.

Sora looks so much taller and older with pants OTL

Yeah, as you can see, the mask's texture needs fixing. Badly. It looks sort of like turtle skin....

This picture's one of my favorites of the bunch. It reminds me of this VHS that we've had since before I can remember called 'Lord of the Dance'. It's a performance of Irish step dancing by Michael Flatley with a sort of story to it. Long story short there's this one part where the Lord of the Dance is all tied up by the masked bad guys. The main villain guy gets a spotlight and holds up his hand like a gun, spins in a circle all epic like this pose, and then shoots the LoD.

I can't believe it. I got in!!!!
Cola izza happeh Badger :3

Ugh.

I don't understand why there has to be so many ugly people in the world.
No, I don't mean 'Beauty Pagent' Ugly, I mean vile. Idiotic. People who jump to conclusions in the worst possible way to the point of claiming to kill another person.

Okay, so as some of you may have noticed, I've got that little 'Like my stuff?' section on the far left there, right? One of the links is to my Deviantart--a site I've haunted for the better part of four years. I normally diregard everything but the art on there, but recently one of the people I watch has had this issue that I can't help but have gotten myself into.

Before I get any further, I should mention that I've never actually had a conversation with this person-who-will-remain-anonymous. (Let's call her B, since that's the first letter of her username) I found some of B's Young Justice art, including the beginnings of a comic. I liked it, may or may not have mentioned that, and clicked the 'watch' button.
Apparently, from reading all three of B's journals, this other girl has been giving B a hard time (Let's call her Pony because her icon is from MLP) Occording to B, Pony has been whining to her friends to try and get B reported and kicked out. Do you know what it started from?
B posted an artwork of a character called 'Ice Queen'. Pony claimed that she was the Ice Queen, called B a b*tch when B didn't buy into it, and left the argument.
Then she proceeded to write a journal claiming that B had harassed Pony on one of Pony's works of art that cannot be found even through the powers of Google. Occording to Pony, B's supposed trolling was hurtful enough to warrant the following journal:
(for privacy's sake, I'll be typing it here so as to keep everyone's identity secret. Any spelling mistakes/bad grammar are directly quoted.)
"i almost killed myself
my troller almost made me
she said some really hurtful things"
This was followed promptly by a very pitiful looking emoticon animated to cry continuously.

Of course, by the time I got to this journal, I was in full-out research mode. I'd looked through Pony's artwork and found that B's claim of not doing anything was completely legit. Even in the hidden comments, B was no where to be found on Pony's web page--until Pony went to B's page and demanded that B 'leave me alone' (by me, here I refer to Pony)
After the rather suspiciously made journal entry were 123 comments that ranged from B's friends calling Pony's bluff to Pony's friends using very, very crude language to describe B.

I'm gonna pause my rant for just a second to point out that Pony is 13. She's stated thus and has acted thus.

Okay, back to the issue. The whole reason for my rant is actually because of one of Pony's friends (let's call her J because that's the first letter of her username)
It's clear that J is also 13 years old. A very crude, ugly 13-year old, might I mention. Any of the conversations J has had on this matter include threats, terrible grammar, and laughable attempts of trolling.
I read one between J and one of B's supporters (Henceforth dubbed 'Sand' b/c of username) that really just made me sick to my stomach, that's how unreasonably crude this person was being.
I did some mild research--looked at J's page, read a few journals--and couldn't come to any other conclusion than the fact that this was an ugly person.
So I stepped in. I went to the supposed attempt-at-suicide page again and finished reading the comments. I gathered that Pony was attention-seeking from the fact that one person who attempted to stay neutral mentioned that people have it worse off than just trolling. Pony refused to offer any details other than "i have it worse" or something to that effect repeated and rephrased throughout the whole thing.

(If I can sidetrack once more to quote Snape; "...forever whining about how bitterly unfair your lives have been. Well, it may have escaped your notice, but life isn't fair.")

I decided I needed to butt in. (Okay, technically I didn't NEED to) Someone had to point out the obvious fact of communication.
So I picked the best place to butt in (The first comment by J I saw; "Dont worry im here with you,that f*cking sl*tty b*tch!why cant she just leave you alone??") and did so.
"I may just be blatantly butting in where I don't belong here, but that was harsh for not really knowing the other person's side, don't you think? Don't get me wrong, I know we're all only human and we all tend to act on first impression, but maybe you should see (B's) side of the story before you make assumptions? Where's your proof of her being a 'f*cking sl*tty b*tch' if you've never had a civil conversation with her before?
It's true that I came to this from (B's) journal, but I'm hoping that maybe a neutral stance can help defuse the problem before it escalates into something too serious.
If (Pony) and (B) can just talk this out reasonably and civilly then there's absolutely no reason to go reporting people. You'd be surprised at how many problems can be diffused through communication.
As for the suicidal thing, perhaps it would be best for (Pomy) to just walk away? If you feel that hurt about it, maybe it would be better if you just leave the whole situation where it is and talk to someone close to you--someone who you know on a personal level. If you truly feel as though you're depressed enough to attempt suicide, you seriously should be seeking comfort in the people physically around you. At the end of the day, words on a computer screen are just that--words. Whether they are typed with malicious intent or the hopes of cheering you up, you'd be surprised how much better you'll feel after talking to someone that can give you physical comfort.
Now I'm not going to claim that you're not truly suicidal, nor am I going to baby you for it. I'm just saying that suicide is no joking matter and if you have depression you NEED to see someone about it. Maybe if you can talk to a family member or a best friend or a loved one you can realize that the 'trolling'--again, I'm not saying it's real or not--really amounts to nothing more or less than a few complex computer codes.
So, can we all please act like civil people now?"
I have yet to recieve any replies, but I'm daring them to call me out. Go ahead, "J", call me your entire extent of crude vocabulary. I dare you.

And really, it is terribly crude. Not long after the journal went up by Pony, J went to B's page and tried to troll  B. It consisted of terrible grammar and a lot of empty words that made little to no sense.
But one thing she said really, really ticked me off:
"you should go and lick some of your friends p***y and dont stop until you stop breathing"
I mean, honestly? For one thing, J's 13. I dunno about you, but if I knew this person in real life I'd shove a bar of soap down her throat. That kind of comment belongs on a porn site, not DeviantART. It's DeviantART, let's keep it that way, yeah?
Second of all, it's totally disrespectful to imply that that type of action is lowly enough to be used as insult. It may not be part of your lifestyle, but it's disrespectful to those whom actually take part in such. ESPECIALLY given the fact that J's most recent journal is about supporting people who are gay/bi/lesbian.
So you're telling one thing to the world, but another to someone else?

I couldn't help it. I butted in and called her on it. "...Perhaps if you were to respond maturely and not bring up 'insults' or 'threats' that include killing or sexual intercourse people would be able to take you seriously and you would actually manage to reach a level of understanding."
I mean, honestly! The whole argument between B and J, J mentions something to do with sex in EVERY. DANG. REPLY.

Why do people have to be so vulgar? It makes me feel horrible for swearing. The world is full of ugly people and uglier terminology. Starting today, I'm going to stop cursing. The only vulgarity you'll get outta me is through my characters--that I promise.
However, expect silliness in return. I won't ever again intentionally curse, but expect to hear some very colorful reactions instead.

(Oh, and also, expect this to be edited once I get any sort of response from my comments. Kthxbai)

PMDE and MMD

In all my midnight ramblings, I realized I still haven't really ever explained MMD!
MikuMikuDance is a sort of Stop-Motion Program that's completely free to download. It uses three-dimensional models that you pose, and is mainly focused towards the characters from Vocaloid. (Definition of Vocaloid as given by UrbanDictionary: "a computer remixing and voice editing program, in which one is supplied with different seiyuu, or voice actors. one shall proceed to type the melody and lyric of a song, and upon pressing play, hear that character sing the chosen song. there are many different vocaloids, but the most common is the first... hatsune miku, literally meaning 'voice of the future' 
she dons bright blue pig tails, a super tiny mini skirt, arm warmers, and flings a leek. there is much of vocaloid on youtube and nico video.") However, one can easily download other available models, and can pose anyone from Iron Man to Frodo Baggins. Some models are 'made', though I have no idea how--most likely from scratch. Some of the more popular model makers include Animasa, Kio, Nukude, and LAT. Others are 'ripped' from games, such as those from Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Lord of the Rings, and even Sonic.
Each of the models is completely 3D--they can be turned at any angle and still have lights, shadows, and highlights both on themselves and on their environment.

Here's what the English Ver. 7.30 looks like when you first open the program

Models aren't the only things that can be made/ripped. Accessories, such as hats, instruments, weapons, food, etc, can also be used through the MMD program. You can even load a 'background' or 'stage' to give the scene an environment!
It makes great stills through an option called 'Render to Picture File', but as it is a Stop-Motion program, most people tend to use it to make 'AMVs' (Animated Music Videos). The nice thing about this is that there are things called 'motion data'. So, for instance, if I wanted Haku Yowane from Vocaloid to do the Macarena, all I'd do is load the model, put it in whatever environment I want, and open the Motion Data file.

(VIDEO IS NOT MADE BY ME. I FOUND IT OFF YOUTUBE AND IT WAS THE FIRST ONE I COULD FIND, SO YEAH. EXCUSE THE AWKWARD OUTFITS KTHXBAI)

Now, on to PMDE! I'm not exactly what 'PMD' stands for, but here's a little blurb about it from Miku Miku Beat:
"PMD Editor is a compact, but powerful tool to give MMD users the chance to create and edit their own models for use with MMD. For a long time, the near indecipherable Japanese user interface and strict technical requirements left many English users high and dry!

For most software, it's up to the user to provide the equipment and environment needed to run the program. If you can't do that, it won't run. But the problem lies in not knowing what those requirements are. I created this page (and this site) to help answer those kinds of questions.PMD can be used either to edit an existing model, or create one from a DirectX 3D model. It takes a bit of practice to learn how to make good models, especially humanoids (Depending on your comprehension of how 3D works, and your skill in using the tool set in the program you most often work with). Some people can take months to finish a model, others just seem to breeze through it. It also depends what you're making.

Alternatively, PMD Editor can now export DirectX files. It's possible that you could use it for data conversion outside of MMD related purposes."

There's supposedly a limited English version floating around somewhere, but I have yet to find it, which sucks because there's really a lot of potential in that program. 

I've done all of my edits through that program, from my first Haku recolor as Aanyx to my most recent work of resizing, deleting, Frankenstien-ing, retexturing, and more. Both the models I'd talked about in the last journal and the SelfModel ver. 5.6 seen in my banner were all made through PMDE. Granted, they're all made by taking another's parts and putting them together (Frankenstien-ing) but I am still quite a newbie at this, so that's okay. I'd like to eventually be able to make my own things with PMDE, but for now I'll have to stick with what I know and keep Tutorial Hunting. 8D

Here's a basic screenshot of all the windows required for PMDE:

Lots of windows...

The biggest window looks much like the view screen on MMD, and that's where you actually get to see what you're doing. The next biggest one is the one I call the 'Main Menu' because you use this one for loading models, adding new parts, recoloring, changing textures, etc. A lot of the less specific things happen through this window. The one in the center I call the 'Layer Menu' because when a model is actually loaded, it lists all the different layers the parts are actually on. The final window I call the 'Size and Move' because the first column of X, Y, and Z moves the model/selected layer/item along each axis. The middle column rotates the selected around each axis, and the final column sizes.

For example, I'll be using my fail Sora model:

View window with model loaded and bones visible

I honestly can't stand the bones visible, because it makes it VERY difficult to see around more often than not. Especially if the model has a skirt or something, because that's a LOT of bones to try and see through.
Notice in the bottom left-hand corner there's a blue thing, a green thing, and an orange thing? The blue one toggles the bones on/off, the green one will show you what parts are on which layer, and the orange one will show you what you've highlighted. More on that later.

There are, unfortunately, only two tabs of the Main Menu that I know how to use. This one is the one most used--each of the numbers on the left represents one of the layers. The colored rectangles labled in blue are the different colors (Top and Bottom fuse to make the main color; Middle is generally the shadow color) and in the bottom right we have the texture/spa/spf boxes. "Skin.bmp" is the texture for Sora's body (even though it's just a square of color) and the type box below that is generally used for .spa or .spf files. These generally give the part of a model a sort of metallic shine depending on the file, but I'm still sorta new to these so I'm not exactly sure how they work...

Here is the other tab I know about. It's quite similar to the first tab, so in a sense I know three tabs, but this one seems to be the only one that works with English models, so I use this one. I have no idea why there's two, but I do know that unless that checkmark is checked, my version of MMD doesn't recognize a model with English data.

Remember the green and the orange? Yeah, here I've highlighted '11' on the layer menu, and it shows his legs. This one is very handy if you're trying to get only one part of a layer to seporate, because you can clearly see what is there to be highlighted. This also comes in handy with recoloring and texturing, since there's really no way to rename layers. All you have to do is find, say, the pants, find out what layer that is, and go into the fourth tab on the Main Menu to change/edit the pants/

The orange shows what you've highlighted as apposed to what else is on that layer. I have a love/hate relationship with this, because on one hand it's very handy when you're working, but on the other every single time you highlight anything that stupid little circle thing pops up and stays there and there's no bloody option to get rid of it. It's the one drawback aside from the lack of English--You can't see around/through the bloody thing!

So yeah, there's a little mini tour of PMDE and MMD! Tune in next time for a step-by-step process of how I use MMD for pictures!

(See, I would make actual stop-motion things but 1 I have nothing to save it with and 2 all my models lag :/)

Spidey Senses, School, and Spammage

Okay, so the other day my Dad and I got a new 4-player RPG game for the whole family to play, since our other options are Rockband 1-3 (and the Beatles Rock Band), Monkey Ball Banana Blitz, WiiSports, Carnival Games (Which is aimed for 10-year-olds, mind you) or a wide selection of PS2 games that can't be played on our projector. (We'd use the TV but it's two years older than me and is horrible for gaming of any kind)
So we got this game called 'Marvel Ultimate Alliance', right? Now I'm not much on Marvel myself--DC was first, their characters are better, AndGreysonHasAlwaysBeenMyFavoriteRegardlessOfWhatHeroHePosesAs --But it's actually really very fun. Even though we have no idea what we're doing half the time since it didn't come with instructions, being a Super Hero is a whole lot of fun :D
It started out as Thor, Spidey, Wolverine, and Capt. America, but we found out we could change characters not long into the game. Of course, by that time I'd already gotten used to Wolverine's Button-Mashing-Required skematics. Honestly, he's one of my least favorite of Marvel (I swear his story confuses me more than the whole Oh-Yeah-By-The-Way-There's-Multiple-Universes-In-Play thing that DC does.) even though my only real exposure to him was that cartoon of the X-Men back in the late 90's-early 2000's.
But lemme tell you, he's quite fun to play as. I get to perfect my button mashing, which has been seriously lacking since I've stopped re-playing KH. He's also a whole lot faster between attacks than any of the other characters I've tried, which means things die faster, and I only ever have to worry about dying when there's a bossfight, since Wolverine has that whole quick healing thingy. (It's the end of Summer Vacation, I have every right not to be able to think coherently, thankyouverymuch)
But anyway, my dad decided to play as Spidey this time instead of Capt. America like he was last night, and I made a discovery that made me literally snort in laughter.
Spider Man in this game is voiced by Quinton Flynn, who also did the voice of Axel in The Kingdom Hearts series. This was extremely amusing, because it left me with the mental image of Spider Man saying 'Got it Memorized?'
To those of you who don't know who Axel is, here's a short video of one of his bigger scenes. (WARNING: MINOR SPOILERS TO KH2'S PLOTLINE!)

Just imagine Spidey saying those lines, and you've pretty much got it down. XD

This discovery was almost as trippy as when I found out that Sora's voice actor is apparently related to Emily Osment, who plays that blonde chick in the Hannah Montana TV show. (This, of course, lead to the mental image of Sora as a major Hannah/Miley fan XD)
So, so far we have Axel-who's-really-Spidey-in-civvies, Sora-who-is-Vanitas-who's-a-closet-Hannah-Montana-fan, Roxas-who-is-Ventus-who-is-a-former-pop-singer-who's-also-the-only-male-character-in-the-Tinkerbell-movies-not-to-mention-Theodore-from-Alvin-and-the-Chipmunks-but-also-one-of-my-favorite-VA's-for-Robin-in-Young-Justice-and-the-emo-Who-Jojo. If you understood that last one you get major props, cause even I'm lost on that.

Okay, onto the next topic: SCHOOL. Yes, that's right, it's that time of year again, folks. I'm registering for (holy crap) Senior Year tomorrow. Should I be sleeping right now? Probably, but I dun't wanna.
I honestly can't believe that I'm starting my Senior year within the next few weeks. I mean, honestly, what's up with that? What happened to Elementary School? AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I know it's gonna be a tiring registration, though, because I was stupid and signed up for a class that I quickly realized wasn't at all in my interests. See, remember my friend Sitch? Well, she told me she signed up for Criminal Justice as her Government class, and since I haven't had a class with her since 5th grade, I signed up for it too. Except it was only after I couldn't do anything about it that I realized that was really, really stupid of me. For one, there's a very slim chance we'll get the same period, much less the same teacher. For two, I'm going to be an Imagineer, for crying out loud. I really don't think I'm going to need that class. I'd set myself up to fail, seriously.
But the only problem with that is the councilors at my school. You can't get anything done with them unless you kiss their asses every day. Honest, I've seen it happen.
A few years back I needed to switch out of a class. The teacher scared me, I couldn't learn squat from his methods, and I didn't dare approach him about it because he gave me a vibe that screamed pedo (of course, it didn't help the fact that the only people that seem to get along with him are the skinny, preppy, boarderline-cheerleader-stereotype girls that would hang out in his classroom in the mornings and at lunch.) So, considering all this was hurting my grade quite a bit, I decided I should try and switch. Anyone can agree that people try and stress that councilors are there to help you, right? Well, guess what? Mine wasn't!
The girl before me got in and out really quickly, the problem seemed to be solved very smoothly, and the two of them kept talking for a good ten minutes more after that, so I thought I had nothing to worry about.
Except, I get in there and I explain it, and she tries to pin it on the fact that I don't have a planner. AN EFFING PLANNER. I felt so stressed and lost and helpless by the end that I had to go to the nurse so that my dad could take me home because I didn't want to cry in class. Seriously, that woman made me feel like shit.
Naturally, my parents are awesome, and they stepped in and went over my councilor's head about it. Problem solved.
But it's obvious that all the councilors play favorites. I'm not the only one who's met dead ends with councilors about that sort of thing, so I'm a little less than anxious to hear the earful that I'm no doubt going to get from her tomorrow about 'responsibility' and what-not. Thankfully my parents are awesome, and I know my mom will back me on my choices about it. So IN YO FACE, MISS I-ONLY-HELP-THOSE-THAT-KISS-MY-ARSE!
Haha, that felt good, even if she'll probably never hear me say that, it's still nice nonetheless to be able to say that. 8D

OOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!! Before I forget, I've been working on my PMDE skills for my Stop-Motion Program, MMD!
In honor of having finished writing ATJ and to accompany it's sequel-that-still-has-yet-to-be-titled, I've been working on making models for each of the characters' new outfits. (CLICK EACH PICTURE FOR BIGGER IMAGE)
I've only done one and a half so far, but here's what I've got:
AANYX

Original Model: Haku Yowane by Nukude. Edit by SincerelyDoubtfulProductions.

Changes from original model:
Hair length; removed 'antennae', original shirt, and tie; recolored pants, hair, belt, pants, shoes, and eyes; modded feet bigger to keep in 'KH-style', turned shirtless torso and arm warmers into a turtleneck.
This model was very simple to edit. Aanyx was my first edit back when I'd first discovered MMD and PMDE, and I can proudly say she's come a long way since then. I also did a lot of 'firsts' with this model as well; first resizing, first deleting, as well as experimenting on removing only parts of things and putting them on a different layer to recolor them (which I did for the pants and shirt). I'm really proud in that it not only looks like Aanyx but it doesn't lag AT ALL, which is about the only model that this occurs for X3

SORA

Original character (c) Square Enix and Disney

Parts used: KH2 Sora (Hair, pouches, hands, necklace, shoes, skin tone) by NiladtheRogue, KAITO (Base-face, torso, legs) by Kio, Kiyoteru Hiyama (Eyebrows) by ChieMadara, Append Len (Shorts) by (???)
...Eew. Just EW. This model was a NIGHTMARE, it took me a day to find all the parts, about three hours to remove the hair from Sora's effing head, and another who-knows-how-long putting it all together so it can function. His hair was SO DAMN DIFFICULT. Seriously, I'm surprised I'm not crosseyed from trying to put it on its own damn layer so that I could monkey with it. I would have totally given up and used the hair off Heleannor's model, but 1) she said no editing, 2) someone's already giving her a hard time about redistributing her models, and 3) she's really such a sweetheart. :3 I've only ever talked to her in passing but every time I do she's so nice about her model downloads, I can't bear to use her parts. It's bad enough I feel guilty for messing around with her Kairi when I was still trying to understand PMDE... (For this reason, Kairi will NOT be getting an update in my sequel fic. I have no intention of ever distributing my fail edits, but even then Heleannor doesn't want people editing her things, so I won't do it.)
So yeah, back to his hair. HIS EFING HAIR. I had to totally un-texture it because it's that mutilated, and that's why the color looks so flat and gross. I sketched out a rough design not long after I'd finished ATJ, and I made his hair a bit more KH1-ish than KH2-ish, so I tried to re-create that into the model. I'd like it to be more poufy, but I'm all fed up with him for now. :/ Damn Keybearer and his damn hair....
So he's as of now textureless (minus necklace and shoes because NiladtheRogue is amazing and they needed no editing.) His skin needs major work, too, because for some reason only his face changes with the lighting even though it's all on the same texture/coloring/shiney-ness. I say texture VERY lightly, considering I took a square sample of Sora's skintone through MSPaint and saved it as a .bmp file. No shading, no nothing. Needs. Definition. BADLY.
But I do like this version a bit better than his first edit I did, because I wanted him to actually have a different OUTFIT. One that was a bit less...crazy...
These next pictures are the only ones I took with him in this edit, and fair warning to those that've read the fanfic, it could be considered crack.
See, I sorta got to thinking that maybe Aanyx/Roxas as a pairing was a bit too....okay, I can't think of a word for it. Old hat?
So anyway, I decided to make a sort of chart: all the characters of both the KH-cannon-verse and the ATJ-cannon-verse. I didn't get very far, but I did manage to extract a few pairings with Aanyx that I can honestly see happening:
(The order is Seme/Uke, or Who wears the pants/who doesn't, which is why Aanyx isn't always first. Strong-willed though she may be, there are some characters who--by force or otherwise--will definitely not take to being Uke.)
Aanyx/Roxas (Original intended pairing, it has hints throughout the fanfiction)
Aanyx/Riku (I wrote one scene of it towards the beginning, and crack though it may be, I can still see it happening in one of those 'I hate your guts so let's make out in the corner' kind of ways.)
Aanyx/Ventus (Sorta like Aanyx/Roxas, but I think Ven would make her a bit less violent...)
Vanitas/Aanyx (Contrariwise to the above, this one would be violent and most definitely NOT suitable for minors.)
Xemnas/Aanyx (I've only just recently started appreciating Xemnas' character. I can see Aanyx finding him sexy regardless of who she's paired with, honestly.)
Aanyx/Kairi (Given the fact that I don't really care who swings which way, I'm not above same-sex-pairings. I can totally see this one working as Aanyx being the knight-in-shining-armor or whatever.)
Aanyx/Namine (See above; also, I think this one would be much more fluff-and-cuddles than Aanyx/Kairi.)
Aanyx/Xcaiyet (We've got a whip-weilding Nobody and a girl who changes into a giant-ass wolf in heat once a month. 'nuff said.)
(Honestly, I can't see Aanyx with Narexk. I CAN, however, see Xcaiyet with Narexk.)
Saix/Aanyx (About as fiery as Van/Aanyx would be, if not a little less so. Maybe more along the lines of Aanyx/Xcaiyet.)
Aanyx/Sora
Now this last one...well, I had fun messing around on MMD with this one. Rest assured, everything is suitable for all ages, promise. Though some of the above pairings may reach NC-17 or worse, I seriously doubt this one ever will.

...Yeah, I had fun with this one. Sora's so short OTL
This model was a total cheat. I took the torso off and replaced it with the one from Kio's KAITO, recolored the chest the same way I did with Aanyx, and gave it the hands of Nilad's model/ the texture off a Mer!Sora model I got off Youtube (of course, that was back before I realized that the model was actually Heleannor's, and thus is the reason why I took the texture off the update.)

I also started a Xcaiyet model but her ears and tail refuse to attach so I'll have to go tutorial hunting before I can show her off. (That and I'm not entirely sure I was allowed to edit the Append Rin so I'll have to double check. I know the Readme for the Append Len didn't say so I'm safe on that respect, but I dunno about Rin...) Darn PMDE and it not being in English! I would be WAY faster at learning things on it if I knew what the heck all the options were, cuz then I would be able to monkey around without feeling like I'm about to make the computer blow up or something...

S'yeah. My next model after Sora and Xcaiyet are figured out is (hopefully) gonna be Xemnas, since I'm aiming to finish them in the order that they appear in the sequel. (I'm already writing chapter 4 but I won't post any of it until I can finish these models.)
I found a dressup doll maker thingy on DevArt for Xemnas, so here's a preview of what I'll (hopefully) get Xemnas to look like:

What is it with silver-haired bishies that makes them so much sexier in glasses?

...Except he probably won't have the tattoo because I have NO idea how to go about drawing that, much less making it into a texture. But oh well, he'll still be sexy regardless.
I'll also be redoing Riku ('Cause I really didn't like his KH2 outfit), Namine (Because, really, she's been in the same dress for how long now? It looks as long as a regular shirt, I swear.), and Roxas. Roxas' edit will be more hell than Sora's I garuntee it. I mean, look what I've left for myself to design? Ugh, It makes my eyes hurt just thinking about it....


Okay, seeing as I've rambled for a good two hours, I really think I should try and sleep now. Especially since I'm supposed to be waking up in four and a half hours for registration....
