Blaze Plush! :)

 
I haven't had the chance to Post this to the Blog's Archives at a sooner date or time, so I had might as well Post them now, in my free time, correct? :)
Yes, this is a hand-sewed Plush of my Character, Blaze. Heh, or Blaze's head, at the least. XD
I sure hope you enjoy! :)

New Character!: Sophos! :)





Name: Sophos. (Yes, inspired and based from the Anti-Virus. ^^U)
Gender: Tom-Cat/Male.
Age: Unknown.
Backstory: Sophos is native to the same exact Laboratory that Password was captured and held hostage within- Except that Sophos unlike Password, was born directly inside of the Lab. He was tested in different ways, the majority taking place within the functions of his Brain. The sinister scientists turned an innocent cat's mind into that which compares to a Computer System, though he is capable of excessively vivid emotion. He is not nearly as bold as Password, and his ultimate means for escape was during Password's attack, in which in a violent rage he crashed into his crate- Not to hurt the poor Tom, but in an aggressive way to help him and the many other experiments in the only way Password knew how to- Bloodshed. (Mind you this is just a summary, and I am skipping over a few key details. ^.^)
Personality: Though his is extremely friendly and chipper, he is also anti-social and it is terribly difficult for him to create new friends and allies. He is sensitive and does not enjoy fighting too much due to his weak-skills. He does not take criticism or bullies too well, though he is very thankful to the "unknown figure" which freed him from such a living hell within the Lab, even if he is a bully himself.
Trivia: He is fluent in Binary Code and Script/JavaScript, and has a severe case of Fear of Computer Viruses, though it is nearly impossible for him to catch one himself. He is wary of the environment, and is often known to "Malfunction." During these periods his actions are unpredictable, though his is popularly known to either attack the first figure in sight, or breakdown completely. His Theme Song is "The Bird and The Worm" by The Used. ^.^

It's not weird.

I am pondering the fact of creating Fan-Artwork in dedication of Sophos. Yes, Sophos the Antivirus.
...

It's not weird. XD

Uh Oh: I Did It Again.

Ahh! Ahh, the horror! Oh my gosh, this can't be happening! Oh my gosh, it's a Jersey!
Haha, very funny, guys. Yes, I love you too. -_-
Heh, moving on from that rather awkward Alesana reference, the Tilte shown above surprisingly enough has to do with the information which I am preparing to share with you. It is true, I did do it again. Now, the only question remaining is: What did I do, exactly? OwO Dun, Dun, Dun! :D
Heheh, a few of my older Readers may remember a Post I made nearly two years back on January 1st, 2012 of a small selection of Perler Bead crafts I had created? There you have it! That is what I did! And I have returned to haunt you with them once more! :)

 
Okay, this time I had merely crafted one piece, though that is besides the point. What is the point, you ask? I have definitely improved since the last set of Perler Crafts, Camera quality and neatness the same. I also talk to myself a bit too often. XD Whoops.
 
Which reminds me, you should totally watch this Video! Definitely one of my favorite scenes of all-time on NCIS! :)
 
Ziva is Up a Tree. :)

SOPA: Back and worse than ever!

Aha, yes, you did in fact read the rather menacing Title correctly: The infamous "Stop Online Piracy Act" or better and more popularly known as "SOPA," has chosen that it is time to make a bit of a comeback, and this time it appears stronger and possesses a greater punishment than the first  and original version of the Bill. How, you ask? Here, let's review the facts:

- Let's take a common scenario in which I have a sudden burst of inspiration, in creating a piece of Artwork which features a song which I especially admire. I complete piece and choose that it is logical to Submit my diligent work to DeviantART. With the SOPA Bill in action, I could not only end up charged with Copyright-Infringement, but arrested and thrown into Jail- Merely for doing just what I love: Art.
- Pretending that the previous situation did not just happen, I figure that with my abrupt lack of motivation, I would take pleasure in drawing a few select Characters from my favorite Books and Television Shows.  In doing this, I draw Firestar from Warriors, Max from Maximum Ride, and Leroy Jethro Gibbs from the hit-T.V Show, NCIS. I once again find it to be rational to Submit my careful work for the eyes of DeviantART to pleasantly witness. Of course, SOPA is once again in action within the scenario, and I once again may be charged for Copyright-Infringement when in reality, my Fan-Artwork did nothing more than to promote the Series.
-We could not forget the previous threats SOPA had in store for us, such as shutting-down Websites such as Google and Bing for dropping Links that may feature Copyrighted Material, or Wikipedia for simply speaking of these "forbidden" words. Many Sites are in danger of this grimy Bill, for example: Bing Services, Google Services, DeviantART, Tumblr, and just about any other Site which allows viewers to have a voice. Rather ridiculous, don't you agree?

Educate yourself on the "original" SOPA:

 
 
Sign a Petition to stop the wretched Bill in its tracks "Here!"
 
C'mon guys, we've stopped this Act multiple times beforehand! Lets do it once more! D:

"Quick, give me a Letter!"

Recently, I had asked my buddy Emlo to swiftly send me a Letter that I could use to help relief my block in inspiration. I would promptly select a Musician with that beginning Letter, then ask them to select a number between One and however many Albums they had produced. I'd take that Record-number, and request them to once more pick a number between One and however many Songs were featured on that Record. After doing those steps, the final number they choose is the Song that the Drawing in the works shall be based from. Of course, as we all have learned in one way or another, Emlo isn't exactly normal when it comes such inquires, and instead of Replying with a singular Letter, she instead sent me this.:

Dear Jersey,
You are an amazing Artist and an even better friend.
Yours Truly,
Emlo.
 
 
I have an interesting bunch of friends. XD

I want to smash HyperCam with a Sledgehammer. ;;

Yes, you did in fact read the Title correctly: HyperCam, popular in Screen-filming and a Program that I was once quite fond of, has shifted into a witless pain that cannot go without ruining the quality of my precious Videos!
Okay, first I believe that an Update is in order, before we can rightly continue in what will conclude as a maddening Rant.: At last, I summoned the courage to visit the  official Hyperonics Website and Download HyperCam 2, without even the slightest alert from my dear trusted Sophos, and the overall Installation process appeared to complete rather swiftly and apparently smoothly. Or so I thought.
In an honorable celebration of conquering that ridiculous fear of Downloading Software at any location on the Internet, I figured that I might as well record a Speedpaint of an idea I've held in the corners of my mind for quite some time now, featuring the song "What Goes Around," a cover sung by Alesana. To my dismay, this was not exactly the quality I had hoped for. Here, why don't you take a look for yourself?:

RAA.
RAAA.
RAAAA.
 
No! This my friend, is not what I call a "valuable" or "quality" Video! HyperFool cannot even capture the Shading to its' fullest, and whenever it does find a trace of the darker shades, they appear as an unattractive grainy texture. This is not acceptable, especially for a Video in "HD."
Let's not forget this special word.: Widescreen. Yes, Widescreen. Why in the world is my Speedpaint in Widescreen!?
Okay, I am completely willing to admit that I've always been irritated with my Videos and the sizing of the cropped Area, but now that I see the effect of this, I can't help but to strongly dislike the Setup. In fact, I could even go as far as saying that I hate the Widescreen concept. D:
Oh, oh! Oh! That is not all that I managed to dig-up on HyperCam! I have this strange suspicion that HyperCam may ultimately be the cause of that surprise case of unresolvable Adware I had gotten at an earlier date! How can I rightly make such accusations? HyperCam happens to be involved or connected with the Incredibar Toolbar, a Browser Hijacker that is extremely difficult to remove. Un-coincidentally, Incredibar is also associated with CouponDropDown, which is the less than wonderful sponsor behind the wretched Ads.
Might I add, Incredibar can be added to the endless list of Applications Norton did not detect, ranking with "ShopAtHome," "CouponDropDown," "Stij," "Keyloggers" and plenty other vile creations that even I hadn't found for myself. Ooh, we cannot forget what Norton did detect, such as the multiple Trojans, and the infamous Backdoor: Both of which the Software failed to rid my Files of.
Jersey! Stop that! You starting to blame No-
Great work, Norton! You gave me the label of Fear of Computer Viruses, nearly destroyed my entire Computer as a whole system, allowed a Hacker to peer into my Files at whatever time they pleased, and even ruined my stellar Birthday-Streak! D:
Jersey! We're supposed to be talking about HyperC-
Hey, speaking of Birthdays, I do have an announcement which has absolutely nothing to do with HyperCam or this Rant whatsoever, but that is okay! :) Shawn Milke, the Lead-Singer of Alesana has his own Birthday coming up on October 13th, and even though it is quite some time until then, I would like to assure you ahead of time that I will  be creating a Drawing in honor of him, moderately due to my idiocy in forgetting Dennis and Shane's Birthday, though as you know, that is an entirely alternate story. ^^U
Jersey! Ffff!
Hah, October 13th, eh? I wonder how it'd be to have Birthday in October, the spookiest Month of the Year, on the 13th, the supposedly unluckiest number, on a Friday, or "Friday the 13th?" Haha, thankfully for him, his Birthday falls two days after that Friday, and lands on Sunday. My Birthday on the other hand, takes place two weeks before Shawn's on Friday the Fourth, in the case any of you happened to wonder. ^.^
Continuing to walk back onto track, the moral of this story is that Programs can get on my nerves rather easily, and I don't exactly favor Norton and its' "cause" of detecting 25 Percent of Viruses, and deleting none of them.
And Shawn Milke's Birthday is on October 13th.
The End.
Wow, I literally had you read that entire, pointless Rant for an unfocused and senseless conclusion. To make this slightly worthwhile, I strongly recommend you watch this Video. I understand that I've shared it with each of you already, but I can't help but to laugh each time I watch it. XD
Go!:
