Hey All,
Just a tattoo post today. My most recent addition is a chocobo! Wark! I've always loved Final Fantasy VII, it's something that's always brought me happiness. I sometimes listen to the soundtrack from the game (yes all four disks) and I still play the game again and again. I've even bought multiple copies on various game systems over the years. Reminds me of growing up with my best friend. Anyway I wanted to get some ink from the game, and as my best friend and I are gonna get Cloud together at one point I decided on another lovable recognizable character from the franchise; the chocobo. I picked the game art that I liked the best and I went with it. My tattoo artist Terry Peek did an awesome job as usual and really brought this bird to life. I got it on my forearm so I could see it all the time and smile. Here's what it looks like:

SD Gundam Tattoo Update..err...again!
Hey all,
Just a quick update for my tattoo. I added the shoreline behind the ball unit, and a comet/meteor with it's tail coming out of the yellow street lines. Simple enough, but necessary as background. I still need to get the street gray filled in beneath the hover truck, and I may add a hole in the concrete above the hover truck. Here is the progress so far.
I'm loving how it's turning out. I still need to plan out which objects will get thicker lines, but I will do that a little farther along when I have a better idea of how it all looks. I know I'm gonna thicken some of them, probably the ball, and maybe the Zaku 2.
Here are some more pics of the update.

In other news I'm working on another top secret project that I will reveal in time. It's not another mecha yet, although I'm working on painting my LG. (I bought fluorescent strip lights for the garage and now I've started painting again.) This project is for my brother so I can't divulge anymore yet as in the off chance that he reads this it'll spoil the surprise, but I will say that it's gonna be a scratch built, hand sculpted piece that I'm casting and painting for him. My hope is that he loves it. Well I will update you all as soon as I can.
Stay tuned mechaholics...

SD Gundam Tattoo Update
Hey all,
Just a brief update. I recently got a touch up on the previous work done and added a hover truck getting hit by a missile to the mix. This part brings a ton of really beautiful color to it like the vivid orange of the explosion and the seafoam green and purples of the hover truck. Terry did a great job on the shading and the thick outlines are looking awesome so far. Not sure if I will thicken the other outlines on my arm already or just keep them different sizes like a weird stylized cartoon. Either way here is the most recent addition.
In other news I have started doing an action figure sculpt with the intent to cast it. I'm calling it the "Fleischer Truppe" or what I think is roughly Butcher Squad in German. I have some preliminary sketches done up and I bought some sculpey and some more tools to get started. I have the rifle, the helmet, the leg armor, and the chest armor planned, but that's it so far. I've sculpted most of the right hand so far too. hehe. I'm going to make it full articulated and ball jointed where I can.
I'm still waiting to buy a few strip fluorescent lights for the garage to finish painting my box art for the Lanzegeist which I still have every intention of selling 10. Sorry for the long delay getting back into modeling friends, I'm just still getting adjusted after moving twice. It won't be long now.

SD Gundam Tattoo
Hey All,
Still don't have my workshop setup yet, but in the mean time I've gotten a sweet 1/4 sleeve tattoo started (and almost done) showing a SD RX-78-2 and a SD Char's Zaku II fighting in a cartoony city.
A tattoo artist name Terry Peek has been working on it for me. He lives

T-Shirt Designs and Rant on "Deep" People
This is kind of off-topic, but recently I decided to create some T-Shirt designs and have them printed. I am a fan of DIY stuff whenever possible, as I make my models, my animations, music, storyboard, etc., so I thought having T-Shirts printed was a cool idea. I made three kinda neat ideas, the first is just a movie T-Shirt of my Movie with the main battleship cruising above Earth. The second and third are just goofy ones for me and the wife. Here are the actual logos I made.
The movie logo is just as I explained, pretty simple. Just a plug. The Buh Buh-Shiba logo is a modification of the Japanese stop-motion commercials for baby-shiba, but I drew up a version that looks like our dog Butter that we call Buh Buh. Just kinda funny I thought. The third design is one I sketched up originally as a tattoo idea, then I scanned it onto the computer, then I used GIMP to darken the borders and add some shading and clarifying lines. The meaning is kinda silly but I love it, I'll explain. The demon penguins are from a game called Disgaea and they are supposedly the souls of those that have gone to hell, and in hell they earn reincarnation by working off their debt to buy back life. Since the wife and I think religion is silly, (and thus by some we are labeled the damned) I thought that having representations of us as these guys would be funny. I also made the pink one myself as my wife is more man than me. (haha no seriously she hits harder than me.) I also have a fanny pak that I use to hold all my modeling tools that I thought would identify me. We also are holding the flowers for peace and for another inside joke. Here are what a couple of them look like on the website before ordering.
Again just an off-topic kinda day, but it made me happy and I wanted to share it.
I still may get the prinnies tattooed on my inner arm soon. I think it looks cool, and I've made a serious commitment to not get too serious tattoos. No people names, no "this skull is for my dead gramma" crap. No "The butterfly represents my Great Uncle's love of nature nevermind that it's on my upper buttocks" shite. That stuff is stupid. And what my wife and I think of as somebody trying way too hard to be deep. I ain't claiming to know all there is to know, but I do know that I like being happy and I think people that take all this stuff too seriously are no fun. Just like when musicians try to describe their music by saying "it doens't sound like anything else I've heard" or "we don't like to define ourselves" I just kinda chuckle. Nothin new under the sun mate. Nothin new. Being deep and mysterious is way overrated, and the bipolar side effects of folks being that way are equally so. hehe. Sorry for the rant, but sometimes it's good to remind myself not to take most things seriously.
