Within a week, if all goes as planned, I will have access to a computer with Photoshop CS2 capabilities (and with any luck, Photoshop CS4). Therefore, I will be creating a brand new deviantID inspired by a lot of space art I've seen around here and might be using some stock photography in my pictures. I'm not sure. During my hiatus, however, I have been picking through a lot of tutorials in the hope that I can get straight back to where I was, oh... six months ago.

And if I can get a job, hopefully I can get a subscription. Which means I would need to find some CSS tutorials as well and work toward getting the beta tester position and the whatever the ^deviantname position is.

Hopefully I will be updating my photography account as well, which for those of you who don't know is called ~humanbeldot.

~diantc333 <--my fantastically skilled cousin
*UnseenArtists <--seriously need to keep up with

I just found out that my cousin has a dA account. She's ~diantc333 and she's done some fantastic photography. I do photography too, it's just that I rarely find good subjects and typically I have a sadly EPIC FAIL when I do find any.



Seriously, though, go look at her stuff. She could use more watchers and critique besides her own laaaaaaamuuuuuuh cousin!

As many of you should know, the PS2 version of Tomb Raider: Underworld was released on the fifth. Before then, between the release of the PS3 version and now, I came across screencaps, renders, and information about the game, unable to hold back from reading spoilers anymore.

The Doppelganger from TRU is a clone of Lara created by an Atlantean. The Doppelganger has red hair and golden (amber) eyes.

Erol had red hair and golden eyes.

Coincidence? Hope so, or else it's just fueling my idea that Erol and Jak were somehow created to be polar opposites of each other for a reason. I probably read way too much into games and novels and such, but it kind of makes sense.

Or maybe I'm just going crazy. Who knows.

Doppelganger Erol.

2009 is the International Year of Astronomy, commemorating the 400th year of Galileo's telescope being pointed at the stars for the first time in 1609. As a way to celebrate, I am probably going to delve into writing a few little tidbits of poetry or something to go along with some pictures I hope to be creating soon with Photoshop.

Me being fascinated with astronomy, astrophysics, etc., this year is turning out to be one of my favorites. Observatories and spots for space photography have been set up around the world to capture pictures of the heavens, so there are lots of beautiful and wondrous pictures to choose from for inspiration! Google it and see what comes up if you're interested.

The other thing I wanted to mention was KHInsider. For some reason, every time I try to download a song, it brings me to a page saying "Error: File currently unavailable". Doesn't matter which song I try, they all come up with the same result. Does this have something to do with the master server requiring donations to remain running?

Anybody who can answer this question would be more appreciated!

Been looking everywhere and I can't find any sites that aren't... ambiguous. I am curious: do any of you know where to find free downloads (spyware-free, of course) of songs from console games? I've been trying to find songs from Ratchet Deadlocked, Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Need For Speed, and others. I can't seem to find any sites that allow free downloads without spyware and all that.

And it's making me angry.

It's like trying to find "My Will" from InuYasha (the entire song in Japanese): needle in a freaking haystack.

Somebody help me PLEASE before I go crazy?
