I drew a Zoofights Picture! Doomrider v Jeff too.

AWWWW YEAAAHHHHH!!!

Do to the mixed up nature of today's Zoofights, my barely passable art was able to make it into the Zoofight! I was even MENTIONED! Jumpropeman is now Zoofights canon!

The picture was rushed a bit, since I asked to do a picture mid-fight. I think it turned out pretty good for a picture I drew! I just wished it looked as good as my Gadadhara or Cash Cow picture. I'm just happy I actually got to contribute!

Art-wise, I didn't want the armadillo to look too much like his introduction image, so I had him looking up and raising the ghost out of somewhere. It was vague how he did it, so I just had the ghost of Ballz taking form behind him as he seemed to beg the heavens or be in the middle of a ritualistic bow. I considered giving him a JRM ghost tail, but I didn't want the Major to disapprove, so I made the lines forming into a shape picture instead. JRM has gone into the city though and is somewhere unknown, so I really don't have a character right now :D

I'll talk about Race Yer' Mates eventually, don't worry ;D

But what I want to talk about first is Doomrider vs. Hella Jeff. I... am not satisfied with it. I feel like it appears rushed or is too short and jumpy. I shoehorned Sweet 'Bus and Hella Pech in because I couldn't resist, but the other parts... I guess just as the writer I knew what lead to each decision.

Originally, I had printed out pictures of both Hella Jeff and Doomrider and was going to take pictures of their paper dolls in places, but it faced too many issues so I just ended up taking some pics of the interstate and using crappy online free photoshop to put them in those pics.

Gooper sent me this picture of Doomrider in Hella Jeff style, and I was pretty much going to do that as well, but I didn't know how at first. I tried googling some pictures of the road for possible additional images to my own photos, and I came across that awesome pic of the street ball, so that became their tomb for the final part of the battle.

I also had little to no idea what Doomrider really can and can't do! I decided to keep those aspects vague. He made a sword on the battlefield (because the miniature in the image had one XP) but we never hear how. He just made one. Warhammer wikis and websites seem to touch little on the character of Doomrider, so research was pretty fruitless. Also, every time I have to write about Hella Jeff, there is a new comic on his website! The Subway one went up during IYM and one about the Zoo went up for this one. I considered integrating some of it into this fite, but it didn't fit.

Speaking of Jeff's source material, I try to only casually allude to it. Constant references would just end up being masturbatory, serving no purpose except to indulge in memes that will be run into the ground if I allowed myself to overuse them. So I kept focus on the action, rather than spouting the expected. I like subverting expectations :3

Other news: My birthday is the first, and I got my gift early! I have to pay some of it off myself, but it's a 3DS! My dad isn't video game savvy, but he knew getting a system and no games was pointless. I tried to tell him about Reverse Compatibility, but he was awesome and decided to buy me a game too! 3DS doesn't have many good games out yet, but I saw three I wanted: Starfox 64 3DS, Ocarina of Time 3DS, and Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3DS. I couldn't pick by the time we had the clerk over, so I told my dad to pick from those three.

He got me Ocarina of Time.

My 3DS is Flame Red and I am hoping for lots of Wii Points Cards, because the best games for it right now appear to be the old Gameboy titles I missed out on that are now on its Virtual Console.

I actually took the pictures of the interstate with the 3DS! It's camera is 1000x better than the DSi's!

I also went to Goodwill recently, the BEST store on Earth! I used 14 dollars to get 14 movies, and if I had more, I could have bought more! They were VHS tapes, but I don't care what format my movies are in as long as I can watch them! I'll end this blog with a list of the movies I bought there. I've seen some, but not all. Asterisk will indicate the ones I haven't seen.

Matrix (Never seen the others... yet!)
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (JAMES BOND!!!)
The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Treasure of the Peacock's Eye* (Love Indy, wish I could get this whole series)
Kate & Leopold (A wonderful romantic comedy, at least I liked it!)
Above the Law* (Cheesy Steven Seagal goodness!)
From Russia with Love (GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL, JAMES BOND!!)
Tomorrow Never Dies (Bond. Jimmy Bond... okay, you got me, JAMES Bond!)
Star Trek: The Motion Picture: (Terrible in the early parts, but it gets watchable later on!)
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan* (KHAAAAAANNNN!!! Still haven't seen it, but who hasn't heard of it!)
The Princess Bride (I dare you to tell me this wasn't a good decision!)
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow* (Wish I could get it with Mr. Toad's Wild Ride as well, but I take what I can get at Goodwill.)
Star Trek Generations* (Picard is better! But Kirk is good too. Crossover is EVEN BETTER!)
Requiem for a Dream* (Heard a lot of praise for it, so it's about time I see it!)
