GL Man. Photo realism seems like an impossible goal. But hey reach for the stars and you might hit Mars!

Well, I was a n00b at drawing less than 1 year ago, and now I'm here, nothing's impossible :)

Those days, I only briefly participated. The N900 was a great phone/mini-computer/*nix whatever the geeks wanted to label it that day if, and only if, you were loyal to T-Mobile in the US and had great coverage by them.

I use AT&T (I know, I know) and it really was a horrible thing for me whilst traveling. Once while in Pittsburgh, I couldn't get a GPS lock for 3 days. It dropped calls, two of the three I got for the office USB ports became loose, I had to basically fight with Nokia's customer service to repair the phones only to invoke my American Express statements of warranties - and a long thread here at TMO definitely helped my case whereas that was concerned.

But the other side of things, I did start into Qt, upped my coding skills a bit, but switched back to UI/UX since that was the biggest complaint I had about any Maemo offerings.

I was more of a N810 man. That was nearly perfection to me. Pocketable, made of sturdy feeling metal chassis, the best kickstand imho ever... it was just a great internet device with a very good screen (for the time).

Those days are gone though. The Maemo heyday are nothing but a memory. Only countdown I could do around that would be when I start to forget about those days in full.

Oh well... enough of my jibber jabber.

AMD - kudos on your drawing. You've grown quite a bit. Don't overlook anatomy and perspectives in the near future. You'll benefit quite a bit in your drawings. But you've shown serious improvement in under a year. Never stop drawing - it's perhaps one of the best habits to keep active (outside of tinkering with gadgets).

no, I meant a mix of both. Plus a drop of honour ;)

It was one of my many spelling mistakes. Gerbick. Its part of my disguise.

I remember the days when I would try modifying the rx-51 file on my n900. I needed to reassign the keys to get backets, tabs, and so forth to work properly using different key combinations -especially useful for easy Debian. I felt like a surgeon who couldn't make a mistake knowing that a minor error would brick my phone. Those were fun times!

Not bad.
Everytime I pick up a pen/cil, I end up drawing something like this:

Its sort of like Primary school grade, but it gets alot of attention and comments nsfw.

If you flying with RYANunfAIR I guess you should have bigger concerns...like have they repaired the plane from all the errors :D

I think RyanAir runs according to their own set of rules. But i can be completly wrong.

Ach...anatomy is anatomy..
In the end it is about content and message...
technical aptitude is the easy part in compare to conception and imagination

.I know how to respond!
..if Kangal were a cast member on Sienfeld ...
he'd be called " Dick Man" :D

Kudos...to the Apocadicks Scene...well done

With jphone the nervousness is even bigger as you might need to wait 2 weeks to try again (bit overreacting, but who ever sent their n900 over for soft issues)

iPhone 6 and 6 Plus released, and consequently bending far too easily with a wonky update that's breaking phones (8.0.1). So perhaps a countdown to when that'll be fixed?

BlackBerry Passport has been released and it's a $599 USD 1440x1440 keyboard having weirdness that's as square as a stamp basically. Countdown to the negative reviews from the iFans perhaps?

Or with the talk about disbanding the Maemo Council... perhaps a countdown for that?

Or let's just pick a day, way out like the Mayans did and countdown to that long-count style. Who's with me?
I'm with you. I'll start:

1

Im not a aware of azurens existence. Nice moves as well. Persenally he is a bit to Agile for me. Im more into terminator and robocop, hulk and jaegers.

What can he do except jump? Any guns?

Watched the longer version. Very nice animations.

Re: It's the final countdown!
 
yeah the 1st link is shorter with a montage of the animators works.
2nd link has the short film of azureus....
can't remem. if he got enough funding to do a feature length film of Azureus or not.
Wicked moves...cool sword...couple of pistols ...bout it :D
good ani.

Normally I'd be my typical smart ***... but yeah. It's totally based on the prior post.

I just thought that Dave would tackle the pronunciation. Or make something up.

Or both.
