As with most of my work, the site is currently in the process of being redesigned. The old design wasn’t cutting it, so I’ve been working on this for the past few days. I think it’s quite pretty so far, but there are some kinks in the design (it is fundamentally broken on iPhone Safari, since the iPhone has no concept of a cursor in the browser, so onmousemove never fires for anything).
Anyhow, there are some parts of the site that are now inaccessible: sorry. I doubt anyone actually reads this, my site has been dead for so long that it would honestly surprise me if anyone did check this place for some reason. At any rate, patience is appreciated from those who are odd enough to keep tabs on my site.
Oh, and if you’re wondering if it works on Internet Explorer, the answer is no. I don’t personally know many people who still use Internet Explorer, least of all IE6 (this site will actually render in IE8, albeit poorly since I decided to be cool and use stuff that isn’t supported by all browsers). Currently, Opera 10.5, Safari 4, Chrome 5, and Firefox 3.6 are those that support the CSS features that are needed for this to work. Firefox 3.5 doesn’t seem to cut it. I recently learned that it works pretty well in terminal-based browsers as well, in the event that someone is still using lynx (probably Stallman).
I would personally encourage you to switch to another browser if you are still using Internet Explorer, if not for the sake of people out there who want to move onto better things on the web, then do it for your own security. Internet Explorer is not safe, no matter how much Microsoft would like to insist otherwise.

Mimetastic
Mimetastic is the theme I designed for this site. The point was to create something relatively simple and, preferably, unique. Of course, nothing is unique, but it still stood out a bit at the time for being single-column and completely without gigantic sidebars and all that.
Personally, I think Mimetastic is a good theme for personal journals and miniature portfolios like mine, as there is little in the way to distract you from the most important thing on the site: the content. At least that’s what’s important to most people, I’d imagine, unless your primary goal is to spam everyone, I suppose in that case the last thing you’d care about is content and you’d be more interested in modifying your theme to point to random URLs that will give you some sort of income. Don’t know how it works, so back to the theme.
I’ve tried to keep the code relatively clean, but I’m sure that in the few Wordpress upgrades I’ve gone through, the code has become far less sane in the process. I’ve never claimed to be good at maintenance, and would like to develop a new theme. However, until I get off my ass and do that, Mimetastic works well for what I need, and in the case that it does the same for you, please leave me a nice comment saying so. I will not sign you up for porn sites.

Some videos I recorded of myself doodling. I thought it was neat to watch myself paint, and other folks seemed to find it interesting, so I’m sharing ‘em here as well. It should be noted that there are a ton of errors in all of them and this isn’t exactly a great ‘technique’ to use when painting. I’m fooling around, there’s not a whole lot of preparation or thought that goes into this stuff, it’s just me drawing faces because I like to.
If you get something out of the videos, good for you, but I would caution you to not try to learn from them. There are much better people to learn from who won’t show you something that’s probably frowned upon in terms of the process used to get a specific result.

Fairly old, but this is something I’ve had sitting around for a while and neglected to put up here.

A CTF flagpole model/skin (well, skins) made for Quake2World. There were various designs for the pole itself, but the skull was something I’d decided was absolutely necessary because I think skulls are cool. It could probably use some more teeth though.
If possible, I’d like to try going back and making unique flag poles for each team to give them both a unique look, somewhat like the way red and blue have different settings in Team Fortress 2. Don’t know though, this game is supposed to be simple. Wait and see, I guess.

After deciding that I did not like the old head that much, mainly due to the skull (I liked the red leather), I decided to go ahead and redo the face and such. Much happier with it now. Not sure what I’ll do about the body, I’d like to just scrap it all since I think there’s some better ways to go about that.

Necrotic is a quick skin I did for the head of Magdalena, a Quake 3 model by Bastiaan “SkullboX” Schravendeel. (Yes, I like skinning old stuff- it provides a lot more options for your own creativity in my opinion.) This was more or less an exercise to see how nice I could make rotting-ish flesh look. I think it looks pretty nice.
