Restart... Day 1, Monday April 4, 2011

Well due to circumstances beyond my control I had no choice but to have to restart this blog since I missed a few days. In a restart I think I will change it up a little bit. I will still watch a movie a day as it is one of my favorite things to do. I love to expand my horizons in such. Will gladly take suggestions. I will still create something.

I do not think I will get a game in every day. Three things can get pretty tough to do in a day. I found myself at times scrambling to get everything accomplished. That said here are the new guidelines:

Movies: They still have to be something I have not seen. With that said, there are some movies which have more than one version. Each version though same basic storyline is likely to be different. So If you suggest something please specify a version. I have Netflix and can get to Hulu.com as well. Any rating or genre I love the variety.

Creating: While I do love creating items for the virtual world of IMVU it requires credits to submit them. If no one buys I run out of credits. I have come dangerously close several times as the catalog is huge. So though I love to create things I may not be able to submit them. So I was trying to figure out what else I might be able to create. So I came up with a solution. I will create something period. If it is a product you will see the product page. It might just be a texture from learning tutorials or playing around to show you what can be made. I work with photoshop.

That said here we go....

There is a contest in the wings for IMVU. Though I did make a product after seeing some of my competition I am unsure if I will submit this one or make something else. The quality up there in some of them is rather discouraging for those of us who are far from Pro status. Though I am now more committed than ever to better my work. Perhaps this blog will help.

The person who has the original mesh does not want her pictures shown so let me introduce you to the big headed previewer model. Here is the before and after of the mesh. This is so ugly... LOL Though I suppose you will now see how much work I put into making things look pretty in the catalog listings.

Also I have one more item for you today. I got a request asking me to make a hood that matched someone's outfit. Always a fun challenge to match something somebody else made. For the record the woman I made it for loves it and thinks it matched splendidly. I am actually wearing the dress she wanted it to match in the listing:

Ok now on to a movie. There are for the record way too many to choose from these days. I swear for each movie I have watched of late there are 10 more that become available. This time I went with "Sling Blade". It is a Billy Bob Thornton movie. Excellent for the record. Absolutely brilliant acting and story line.


A young boy who is mentally challenged thinks he knows right from wrong. In knowing this when he found his mother fornicating with someone other than his father he fears she is in danger. He murders his mother's "attacker" only to find out she is now mad at him. He winds up killing his mother too. This will land him in the state mental hospital. Twenty five years have passed now and they have deemed him "all better now" and intend to ship him out of the hospital.

Karl now wanders about the city he once called home. He stops and stares in amazement at the things and places that have changed in his time in the hospital. As he wanders he cones across a boy. The boy is trying to lug laundry home. Karl helps him. The young boy is thankful for the help and Karl moves on. He gets a job tinkering with lawn mowers and such.

Karl really liked the boy and decides to take him up on the offer to come again. He meets up with the boy, Frank and they go visit Frank's mom at the store. This works out well since Karl needed to get some basics for living on the outside like toiletries. Frank's mom is unsure of Karl at first. She realizes how much Frank likes him though and leaves it at that not questioning his past.

Frank has bigger problems than Karl being his friend. His mother has a horrible boyfriend who is often at the house. The boyfriend is abusive to them both. Frank finds serenity in Karl. Karl stays in their garage at Frank's asking. The boyfriend dislikes that  she has friends who are homosexual and slow. Her homosexual friend likes that Karl is there and hopes he will keep the boy and his mother safe.

Will the actions of the boyfriend push Karl too far? Is it too hard for him to not go back to the hospital? People around Karl are going to push him to his limits. How far can he be pushed until he breaks?
