July News

Hello again. :3

Just thought I would make a post here since it has been awhile... not much has been going on lately. The main thing I've been doing this past week has been commission work. @.@ I'm finally pretty much done with the children's book commission. (I only have one background to put together for a scene already drawn, and then I'll be done <3) And I'm already scheduled for two more commissions and one art trade!

July 9th was this past Saturday. :3 (my independence day from the military, Lol) It was that very day some four years ago that I was medically discharged from the Air Force.... hmmm, didn't I mention this before? Oh well! :P Anyways, we had some fun that day... we ordered pizza, watched a movie, and went swimming. <3 It wasn't as good as the past July 9th celebrations, but still fun.

and yes, in case you are wondering... that is a my little pony up there. o__o and yes again, I have been brainwashed... dun dun duuuuuuunnnn! Just a heads up, there will be some pony art surfacing on Aoi Skies. XD The art trade I have is with a MLP fan of her ponysona. (Y'know...like fursona!) I joined a MLP forum after I started watching the new series on YouTube. ^o^ Maybe kinda weird to everyone else, but it's fun. I'm hoping to make some artsy friends at the pony forum. I even created my own ponysona!

I'm going to stop talking now. XD

7/15/2011

I wanted a excuse to post something, Lol. Nothing really interesting has been going on these past few days... I've been doing a lot more art lately though. @.@ It's getting pretty lonely and tiresome living out here in the woods. I got so lonely yesterday that I decided to try to get back in touch with some of my old ICL friends. I need a life. u___u

Not saying that my ICL friends aren't cool, it's just many of them have dispersed and have moved on. However I did get back in touch with my old friend, Travis. (A.K.A. 'Hexx') :D Some of you old-schoolers might remember him, he used to run Magic Cheesewheel with me. (A very strange website, before bluie's island.com existed) It was a art website for me, a comic website for the both of us, and who knows what all else. O_o I can't really remember... that was a looooong time ago. Man I'm old. p__q

But enough of the past! Who knows, maybe I can reform the old Bluie empire that once was many years ago. >:D MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! *bricked*

Don't forget about July 9th! That very day FIVE years ago I was sent home from the Air Force on medical leave. XD I call it 'Bluie Independence Day', Lol.

Sonic Generations?

So just yesterday I found out about this new Sonic game coming out sometime this year, Sonic Generations. O_o When I watched one of the trailers on YouTube I was kinda surprised.

Basically, Sega is trying reeeeeeally hard to appeal to both sides of the Sonic fan base. For a very long time the Sonic fans have been divided on what kind of Sonic game they want. There is the one side that prefers the more retro 2D Sonic stuff, and then there is the other side that would rather have the 3D Sonic stuff. (I fit into a small margin of fans that like the Dreamcast era :X) So in order to attempt to win the favor of both sides of the fan base, Sega has created a Sonic game where you play in 2D and 3D levels.

...So uh, what's the big deal? Isn't that sort've like Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors? Not exactly...

The levels in Sonic Generations will be divided up into two acts. One act being the 2D version of the level played by retro Sonic, and the other act being the 3D version of the level played by modern Sonic. (yes, these are actually two different Sonics!) It's a very interesting concept, especially since the game features scenes where both Sonics are running side by side, waving at each other, etc. (as shown in the above pic) o__O I believe also that the abilities each Sonic have are slightly different. (for example, retro Sonic probably would not have homing attack) Kinda weird to me, but that's not all this game has to offer...

Here's the big kicker - the levels in Sonic Generations will be picked from the Genesis era all the way up to some of the very latest Sonic games. That means some of the Sonic fan's favorite levels will be redone in 2D and 3D acts, spiffed up in updated graphics, and modified to include some extra passageways and stuff that wasn't previously there! Now that concept is pretty cool to me, that sounds like a Sonic game I could really get into. ^__^ All I know of so far that has been confirmed is Green Hill Zone (anybody could see that coming) and City Escape. <3 (oh yeah!)

./ follow meeee, set me free, trust me and we will escape from this ciiiiiity... ./

I know I'm such a dork. x___x

Gourdes!

That's right! You heard me - gourdes! ^_^ This past weekend I was over at my Mom's for a visit, and we made bird houses out of gourdes. While I was over there we worked on getting them prepped for painting, but I only managed to get one painted while I was there. They sent me home with the NINE other gourdes to work on... lol. xD I really am having a eventful summer already!

This weekend we also built the new dog fence and a separate pen for them to play and use the bathroom in if I don't feel like putting them away in their home just yet. :P After all, it is like halfway across the property... lol I'm so lazy! I'm just a spoiled city girl.. @.@

New Places

Yay, summer vacation. :D

I have a really good feeling about this summer. <3 No school, no work...(as of yet) I'm getting to slow down and appreciate everything that God is doing in my life, and life in general. ^_^ I don't know how to explain it, I just feel a great sense of peace in my little world right now. I used to feel really awkward living out here in the woods...but I've grown to like it and to appreciate it for what it is. I am so blessed! I need not to forget that. x.x

I've even grown to love this area in the woods that I live in. The surounding roads and hidden places around here really intrigue me. Sometimes I just like to get in my car and go driving around the countryside just for fun. A part of that may be me inside still looking for Buu. (which isn't a bad thing, but I believe God will just bring her back.) I know I must be sounding crazy right now, but I can't help it... God is putting me in new spiritual places that I have never been.

I guess right now what God is really revealing to me is this: His love for us is so uncomprehendable (sp?). Often times I try to put Him in a box...but it just doesn't work that way. Many times I always think "well, maybe it is just not His will for this or that to happen..." even though I already know His will is to do it. Take my dog, Buu, for example... I know I have not fully explained this whole story but I do intend to (perhaps on another blog). I have been praying, and praying, and praying that God would bring her back. He already told me that He would bring her back, but there was always this small fragment of me that still didn't want to believe. I didn't want to put myself in a vulnerable position and "make a fool out of myself" if it didn't happen. The point is, it WILL happen if God says it will.... we just need to put away our fleshly ways and get into the Spirit's ways...then everything will be alright. :3

Out of School!

I'm out of school! I'm out of school! I'm out of school! ^o^

Can you tell I'm excited? ;p I just finished up my last day of school Thursday. <3 I haven't gotten any of my grades back except for one, my business class, in which I pulled a 85. I'm hoping and praying over my computer classes, they were really tough. x___x

So since then I've been having a really good time taking it easy, catching up on chores, and taking care of business around the house. Ben's folkes are over for the weekend to help Ben with rewiring the house and fixing some plumbing issues. They had to cut off the power for several hours yesterday to work on it so Terry and I took off to do some shopping in Lufkin. :D It was fun.

I've also been working on some artwork in the mean time... I have this really big commission that is going to take me a whole month to do, and other personal projects of my own. SOMEDAY, someday... I may get around to writing a story about Bluie's Island. :X I'm also considering starting another website about my spiritual walk with God, basically a testimonial site.

I'm supposed to start summer school on the 18th, but I haven't even signed up for it yet... >.> not exactly ready to go back so quickly, lol.

Yay!
