Hey! Glad to see you amping up again. My request was post #177 on this thread, and your updated list close to that is accurate to everything before it, I think.

Movie music is sometimes the best, and I was in my ’80s music. Naturally this jumped out at me. I made it a silhouette partly to avoid copyright problems–but really, this IS what the song is about and from. So I made something like a still remotely resembling period stylized animated credits.

In case anyone’s wondering, the stream emitter is the chainsaw from ItemRight / Miscellaneous squished.

One wonders why the phrase “cold shoulder” means standoffish. Her shoulders are undoubtedly colder without the coat, but she looks less standoffish that way.

Even the most precious of hugs didn’t quite do it. Then I remembered music made it worse. –So I pulled out something a little more upbeat to let that hug do it’s work. Rockabilly ’80s pop for some pomposity (is that what they call ‘swag’ now?)

Normally growing up is good for a band, but not them!

I took a break from handing out resumes to people who don’t believe I’m competent to breathe to drill a certain young person I know on alphabet twice as much as time would normally permit. True to form, she gave no sign she was learning anything at all. I took a break from that and started listening to the mood music for this picture.

I’m going to go get a hug. You don’t need the alphabet for that . . .

Be sure to ask djuby to post his Peas & Carrots here. They were great.

According to the unquestionable authority of Garfield, cats are already solar-powered. I would like to know whether that one still laps up dairy–they may not qualify as mammalian otherwise.

Something I sometimes use to copy weird shapes, like human faces? Size up a window beside your work of a model. Lots of cat poses on sites like Photobucket are there for the modeling.

Suggested titles? Late Tuneup For Cyborg Crewman N31, Gunner’s Mate Joe, Nomadic Warrior Toambe

Pictorially you are doing well, already finding alternate uses for items. The only suggestion for improvement so far is that it might be better to put the Jolly Roger behind the wooden upright.

Some questions turn out to be somewhat unnecessary if you notice the right details.

Hope you all had a happy Halloween.

When you use a pulley action to lift a decoration, I call it a decor pulley. I made one of those for my Halloween costume. When I pulled on the pulley, a sleeve and glove I stuffed to look like a human hand lifted the trick-or-treat bucket. One guy asked me if I was a ninja. (?) I turned my eyestalk toward him, and he made a face and left. Some people.
To make things worse, my littlest batted my bucket with hers quite a few times and the costume began coming apart. I shed fabric so many times that a passersby gave me an entire sweater that someone else had dropped, and I didn’t even realize it till I got home.
Add to that the antics of my eldest? She has trouble understanding the whole concept of Halloween. She tried to give her collection bucket to four different houses. At least she didn’t try to give anyone pieces of her costume this year, right?
All in all it was a good night, though. Sunni D went as an old-Republic Jedi, the little ones were a zombie and a sock-monkey-pirate, and I was an alien with only three arms and one eyestalk. Anyone else have any major incidents happen?

[Herr D]

Oh, you meant a decor pulley. I get it. I made one of those for my Halloween costume. When I pulled on the pulley, a glove I stuffed to look like a human hand lifted the trick-or-treat bucket. One guy asked me if I was a ninja. (?) I turned my eyestalk toward him, and he made a face and left. Some people.

While writing a novel in a month sounds like an interesting challenge, it’s been my experience that even Koontz does better work taking three months. I’d rather see you here and post a year-long novel in the Writer’s Room. Clearly you belong among us Arthurians, Steampunkers, Manganese, Hero-worshippers, Villain-ovas, Fantaseptics, Heinleinders, Digi-smudgers, Deziners, Omnismiths, and Thingamajiggers.

Actually, you might consider leaving the limbs / torso as-is and adding a background; you might make it look like you’re looking up at her.
