Phew, where to start? November has been crazy for me: hurt my ear and was in excruciating pain for several days, replaced my main priority of art with streaming instead, got re-addicted to guild wars 2 for the Nth time, got possessed by the art demons even more so after giving up on them. Hmm, I think that about covers it? Been neglecting my site for some time and I’m just here showing it some love. I didn’t have enough links to do a weekly round up after the first week, so I kinda sorta got lazy, and here we are a month later! Anyways lets start with art stuff!
Art References
EXES Lingerie – An etsy store that sells interesting designs of lingerie. Really shiny/flashy designs and yes they have thick models.
Girls Chick – Brazilian clothing company, stylish designs with thick latin models. 😛
Fashion Model Directory – Site that has a ton of (European?) models on it. Lots of ladies with beautiful faces on here. They are skinny as hell though, sadness. 🙁 Look, you come here for the beautiful face refs okay?
Anzu Jaamu – CUTE AS FUCK, IRL Loli. I’ve never been a fan of lolis, but in real life I just might be… She wears hella-hella make up, but god damn is she fucking cute. Perfect face refs.
PONY – Korean chick that does makeup tutorials. This chick knows how to transform herself into an asian goddess. x_x It’s women like this that make me wanna give up non-asian girls forever.
Vintage Vandal – Thick pin up model. Sometimes she looks like an Egyptian. Do I need to say anything else?
Cara (Delia) Rose – British model with incredible tits. One of those chicks with thick sexy lips + tits. God help us, a dangerous combo. But god damn hahah sometimes her lipstick makes her lips look fake or like a duck. XD
Random Art Stuff
Zebra Delguard Mechanical Pencil – I just picked one of these babies up cause I needed a new .5 mechanical pencil. Oh muh gah, it is fucking sexy as hell. It looks like a god damn medical syringe or something, heh. They have lots of other sweet colors too, cheap too.
21yc – This dood is a Chinese freelance artist, omg. This guy is damn good! He does a lot of WoW fan art, check him out.
Music
Yamajet – Happy, upbeat, house music. This guy is one of my favorite artists (besides Sussie 4). He makes music for video games and his own stuff on the side too.
Persona 5 OST – Official sound track for Persona 5. Absolutely incredible. Some jazzy songs, some Santana-esque riffs. If you haven’t listened to Shoji Meguro’s work, check out Persona 3 and 4’s soundtracks. They are just like this, a blend of jazz-pop-rock-house. Amazing.
Dark City OST – Sway – I finally watched Dark City last week and it was pretty cool. I loved the noir style of the movie! Most of the soundtrack is dark, dramatic music. But there are two really awesome sultry sounding bar songs.
Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game OST – Soundtrack for the Xbox live arcade game. This game was an amazing beat-em-up with a fucking awesome 8-bit style soundtrack by Anamanaguchi.
Human Nature Will Never Change
Wall Street Playboys released an article a while back that pretty much summarizes people’s negative qualities. Some people will probably see the article as negative, but I see it as that’s just how life/people are. A lot of people are going to waste your time/their own time in life, and it helps to know how to work with people.
12 Rules for Life
Dave Rubin had Jordan Peterson on his show again! This time they’re talking about Dr. Peterson’s new book “12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos”. This is an excellent interview covering a range of great rules about life. To me, the child raising advice seemed to stick out the most, because that’s what people need to be hearing these days. Jordan’s new book is available for pre-order on Amazon already.
RPG Names
20000-names.com – This here is a great website to look up names. I use this website all the time to come up with names for characters in video games or RPG’s.
Streaming Life
I read a old forum thread from the OBS forums that put to rest one of my questions about capture cards. Apparently capture cards and OBS use about the same amount of processing power, so there’s no point in investing in a capture card, unless you’re doing console streaming.
Musashi’s 21 Rules
I found an old article of Victor’s about Musashi’s “Dokkodo”. He puts a modern day filter on Musashi’s rules that really resonated with me. Check it out if these ancient philosophies interest you. I also looked up another guy’s translations of the Dokkodo to get some another point of view. This website has a lot of context on the Dokkodo and helped me to put it in a different light than Victor did. Read em both and decide which speaks to you more.
