My present is for Mr Hamrick.



But it's not done yet.



It IS on the way, though.



The time has just been not on my side, no matter WHAT the Rolling Stones say...

My apologies.

Ok, so I had to complete this project on battery power, which sucks because it dims my screen. I even sprayed the dust out of this thing and it still overheats. Turns out the Toshiba A75 series is prone to overheating. My new PC can't come soon enough.. <_<

Anyway, inspired by Spud's cool artsy Juancho piece, I decided to try that inverted line coloring deal myself. Here's the result:

Merry Christmas, Pwime!!!

Hope you like it. I would have had it to you sooner but this laptop of mine..oh man..I was getting so upset. It could atleast warn you before instantly shutting down. Geez..

Actually, AFAIK, it can't. There may be very few seconds between the time the system get the warning that the component is overheating and its burning death. (The alternative would be to get the warning when the temperature is lower and then have the time to pop an alert, I guess, but then it would shut down much more often.) :(

Thanks for the inerim gift Alaric.  It's my new desktop.  Take your time, I understand how crazy real life can be.  lol

I love you.  :D

EDIT:  Like seriously, I love you.  :D

EDIT x2:  That means I love it a lot, and if I do manage to find time to start skinning again, that is SOOO on the list.  :D



I would also like to take this edit to let Gday know that I am going to finish his gift, and really soon hopefully, but stuff keeps popping up and devouring my time.  =|  Should be within the next day or two though, I promise, and I promise it'll be good.

I'm glad you like it, lol. I was going to skin it, and may still do so as long as my laptop can hold up. Skoping is beyond my abilities, so I'll have to find a suitable mesh. I'm used to the way it was before all the 'new age' techniques came into play. :lol:

Okay, I have finally finished my gift to Uncle Yuan!

[spoiler][/spoiler]

If you want a large version, just PM me your email or whatever and I'll shoot it your way.

Uncle Yuan

Indeed it does - I love it!  :thumbup: Thank you very much!

Uncle Yuan

Like a lot of folks, I too have been beset by technical difficulties.  Technical difficulties coupled with calendarical difficulties.  As I was on the last stages of finishing my present my soldering iron died.  This was the Sunday before Christmas and my stained glass shop is closed Sundays and Mondays.  Christmas was Tuesday and Wednesday we left for family celebrations.  We returned Sunday, but Monday they are closed and today is New Year's Day.  So, TOMORROW I will be able to replace my soldering iron and complete my gift.

And no, I can't just use any old soldering iron - I tried a decent one from the hardware store, but it can only hold heat long enough to run about a 1" bead.  And a series of connected 1" beads just looks awful.  The kind I need is somewhat over powered and has a large ceramic core that helps keep the heat flow steady.

Hmmm...I thought you didn't sign up photomorph or I'm just not remembering it? :doh:

ME.

But I'm not done yet. Hopefully soon. Man, it's been a whole year.

Havent heard from my Santa or Victim... starting to get suspicious, like its a set up!

Ok, time to fake my death again and turn up in another country under yet another new identity.

Reepicheep

Hasn't arrived yet, Lug.

I just don't know why you can't tell me what it is!

If he tells you what it is, there's no way in hell you'll let it get inside your house.

Lug sent him deodorant??

Ok... got an e-mail from amazon UK saying there has been a delay. Grr... me thinking I was so clever for using the UK amazon instead of the american one (which would of charged me an arm and a leg and taken forever to deliver). You where asking why I couldent just tell you what it is so here are my hints...

A graphic novel and a CD.




captainspud

That comic is so creepy... heartwarming at times, but still so creepy.  :blink:

Uncle Yuan

OK, kkhohoho, your Captain America suncatcher is on its way to you!  Look for it in tomorrow's mail.  Merry Christmas and sorry for the delay!


[spoiler]The back is the side closest to the hanging loop.  It makes a bit of a difference as I don't work as hard to have the lead look as nice on the back side.[/spoiler]

Thunder

that's nifty Yuan!   This looks to be a great set of gifts this year.

captainspud

I've given a few extra weeks of leeway on delivery; we'll start sorting out "Bad Santas" this weekend. If you haven't delivered by, say, Saturday, be prepared to argue why you should not be devoured by feral antelope.

Mr. Hamrick

i will have to fed-ex mine on Monday.  Stuff keeps getting added to the box and one particular item got left on a friend's coffee table.  I won't be able to get it until Saturday.

The Pwime

Protomorph

I feel that I should not be devoured by feral antelope because...


IT'S DONE!



(finally)



And now, without further Ado, Mr Hamrick, the presenting:

I've already emailed the completed gift to Glitchie, though I freely admit the ending was rushed.

I like it a lot.

BWPS

Awesome.

Protomorph, I'm really sorry I've been so lame and slow, but I'm at work coloring yours now. But don't feel too bad about the lateness because it's actually pretty bad...
