Finally another post in a row!

Hello, my wonderful viewer's to another exciting post by nonother than myself. I am going to try my very best to fill this post with more than just artsy stuff so it can be more enjoyable to more people. Let's get started!
  So first thing first I'd like to bring attention to a very hard debate I have been having within myself for quite awhile ( p.s. If you do not like the topic of video games I suggest that you skip the next couple of paragraphs.). So, recently I got myself a brand new Nintendo Switch console which the process of getting it is a story of its own ( as many know how infamous they are to be sold out everywhere...). So first I had to decide if I wanted the console in the first place. As a major fan of Nintendo and with the announcement/release of games such as Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey made me want to get the system but, the mixed reviews and of all things the pressure of my parents who not only hate me spending money on nonnecessities and the mention of video games made me think about whether or not I should try to get the system. Eventually ( after the copy of Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild WiiU I was borrowing was given back ) I decided that I was going to try and get it eventually!
  Next, I encountered the challenge of everyone else. Finding a system for sale at the lowest price possible which surprisingly was at retail stores ( at $300) than on sites like Amazon ( up to $500). I checked every time I went to a store and met the same response, " Sorry sir. We got a shipment this morning but we are sold out...". Again and again, I tried to the same result until one fateful day at the Target near my house. " We sold out already but, try calling our site in the morning we can let you know if we have any and you can drop by. ". This was just what I needed and every morning I called to check until I got the response I needed. " yes, we do got some.". That day I bought a Switch which was about 2 weeks from now.
  Sadly, my true debate had just arisen. With little money left ( just went on a trip ) and looking to invest into stock for college ( and to make my parents have trust in me that I'm a responsible young adult) but there was just one problem. I have one of the most advanced gaming systems in the world which potential far exceeds any gaming device ever made! but no games on it... So, of course, I going to get a game but the question is since I am going to be saving money for quite awhile ( meaning other than this last purchase I will not be able to buy anything until I invest) what is a game I can get that'll last awhile for me to get? This will be today's question of the day ( haven't done that in awhile..) and while I've mostly made up my mind on what to get ( Splatoon 2) your responses may change my mind. Anyways at first I thought of getting the Retro bundle known as Shovel Knight Treasuer Trove, which includes all the DLC of the two side games ( SK Specter of Torment and Plague Knights story ( forgot the name )) and the main game with multiplayer options. I was going to go with this but then * sighs * then Nintendo had to make things difficult and release a lot of cool and exciting news and a demo for Splatoon 2... SO, after the past couple of days, I have been asking friend opinions, watching trailers ( no gameplay though or very little ) trying to figure out what to get. The deciding factor came when I thought about how easy it can to get into a session with shooting games and with the new Salmon Run and story mode Splatoon 2 won over so when it comes out I am going to buy it.
  So for all of those who have been skipping the past couple of paragraphs because you're here for art or you just hate games you are in luck! This is the point where I will post some art and talk about it.
This is just a page in my sketchbook of me practicing with things like 3-D shapes, shading, and cylinders. Not that much to talk about in this page other than the fact that the barely visable T.C on the cup I drew stands for Taco Cabana which is the place I got the drink from. That's all for today so until next post I'll see ya'll later!

First Summer Post





Hello and welcome to another LLG post! Now to be honest its been awhile since my last post and that has been for a number of reasons such as finals ( for school), part time job and helping out family, but no matter how busy things get I'll always have a little time to do a sketch here and there and post it here. I've shown a lot of my digital work quite a bit so today is gonna be all about my sketches on paper so without further ado lets get started!
This first page ( sorry about weird orientation but that is just how it came out when I uploaded it ) and here I was focusing on full body anatomy, eyes and buildings in one point perspective with line shading. Fairly simple and random page ( like most of these pages will be so be prepared)   
 
This next one was more focused on positioning of features such as the face and body. I also did things like emotion, a poem ( for some reason...) and tried to make a face out of a butt....
This next one was focused on how to make things more fluent with simple task such as talking, looking and sitting. I tried drawing a rather simple un-detailed hand and a little Android robot as I like the Android brand.
This next page is one of the only pages dedicated to the study of just one technique known as The Loomis Method which is a way to divide the face in a more realistic face. on the top of this page I wanted to make a drawing of a person preparing to run ( without reference ) but ended up getting a walk... the next drawing is one I saw on Pintrest and it being a really cool reference I wanted to try and draw it.


This is the last page I've done and for this one each drawing is for it's on thing. The first very strange one at the top was meant to be my second attempt at drawing someone going for a dash but ended up nothing like I had hoped... The next in the middle was me using the Loomis Method I spoke of earlier to make a quick sketch as someone challenged me to see how far I've come since I first started sketching seriously ( or at least as serious I could be...) and it in my eyes is really good considering it used no reference and the base of it and basic planning was done in mere minutes which may not sound special to any experienced artist but with me it is a huge step as some of my best drawings before have taken days to complete. Lastly the bottom drawing was me trying to use the eyes in a simple way but still be able to try and convey a feeling, I'll leave you to decide what that feeling it but for now that is all I have for you today. Thank you for your patience as I have been struggling to get post out but I'll do my very best so that you may get to enjoy my journey to try and become a better artist :3. Till next post I'll see ya'll later!

HP of the day!

Hello and welcome to another post of LLG, as of today I am back to my regular schedule so expect more post and content than last week. Now, before I start I just want to let you know that I will not be showing the sketch I started on Friday as I found out that blending with color pencils is not easy if possible and I do have another work in progress that while ok in quality and incomplete it is something I am ok with showing and while it is bigger than most sketches I posted it is still not able to rival the one I have in store for later so do be looking forward to that. With that said let us start today's HP.
In advance I apologize for the blur of the picture. Now I am working on a project that will be digitized but as of right now I am working on the sketch for my outline to work with. I know it is a bit hard to tell what it is at this point but it is a forest scene with trees, a bridge and a river that said bridge goes over. Now I've always had trouble drawing trees and I've never even attempted a river so for this sketch I am using many guides to help me out. I did only spend a little time on this piece as getting back into the grind of things after my break did test my attention span today so while I would never complete this in one day I could have gotten farther when I back to getting into the groove of things ( and if LOZBOTW wasn't so good TvT). So with that today's post comes to a close. I hope that you enjoyed my terrible art that has slightly improved with the creation of this blog and if you have then make sure to share this with any of your friends that enjoy art and can critic it. Lastly, I know I said I would try making a comic soon but not only does my art skills need refining but I am having a bit of trouble with thinking of a story that I would want to be epic... Sure I will make comics of things that happen in my life ( or sometimes made up but that would be up to you to find out ^-^) but I also want to make an action comic. I've gone through dozens of story, character and setting ideas but every time I start thinking of something I get bored of it, it becomes too complex or is just plain cheese. The point I am getting at is I want to know from any story writers on how do you come up with a great story? I would like to be able to do such to provide people with a action packed narrative rich story but as one would it expect it takes quite the patience and skill. Anyways that was a quick beg for advice from you guys aside from the usual art critic I ask for. I know I extended this post after I said that was all and I'm sorry but when I was writing the thought popped into my head and I was hoping you guys could help me out. Remember that if you want to give me advice or just contact me in general I do have the contact me page setup with numerous ways to do such. Again, I can't wait to see ya'll guys in next post so later!

Pencil Animating Software

Hello and welcome to another post of LLG, today we are heading back once again to the artsy side of this blog as we'll be talking about the 2-D animating software called pencil. Pencil is a open source free to use animating software that is usable for any computer and what I am currently trying to learn to use myself as its simplistic design and cheap price at nothing is very appealing to a new comer in such a medium.

https://www.pencil2d.org/ This link listed besides the image is the website where you can download the software if you are a person who is intrestead in 2-D animation. So, what makes Pencil different from the other potential animating software that I've brought up before, Blender? Well, Pencil is a 2-D animation software which means that the user draws each frame in the animation rather than building a whole 3 dimensional object and guiding its movements. Pencil in my about 2 hour experience ( as I've used it for a short time ) is expectantly slightly buggy. You may be asking why it is expected to which I would remind you that it is completely free of any cost and also tell you that it is not fully developed but is being worked on.
The software still has it together enough to where it is workable as long as you save periodically and have a slight background in things like adobe flash. The software's timeline ( shown at the bottom of each image) can contain raster images, vector, sound and even the camera for the shots you are making. Next for your tools you have your pencil which is very useful as it allows you to sketch out things or write down notes on frames and it won't be seen in the final product. Next is the paintbrush which is what I think you should use for the actual work but like I said I've had the software for awhile but only have had little time actually using it and I have not been able to get it to work. Lastly for drawing is the pen tool which should not be confused with the pen tool used in things like photoshop and illustrator as it doesn't work the same but rather like the pencil tool from illustrator for those graphic designers out there who know what i'm talking about. Honestly, with a bit of more development this software can become quite similar to flash in animating and I think you guys should try it out so you can give your feedback to the developers so they can improve it further. To end this post I want to know from you guys what is your favorite style of animating between 3-D and 2-D? I know that those are pretty vague groups as they both have their own sub styles within them and I haven't forgot about stop motion it is just I have not wrote a post about it yet so I see it as irrelevant for a QOTD at the moment but it will come up and with the glory it rightfully deserves.
Till next post I'll see ya'll later.

Pencils....

Hello and welcome to another post in LLG and I know that most of you who go to this blog for things like music and games have been disappointed and I'm sorry. I do want to talk about those topics and I will but lately since I do have a lot of artsy friends and I myself have been trying to get better art is something I do think of daily and is super easy for me to write about very quickly which is a lifesaver when one post as much as I do. So, the topic of the day is PENCILS!!! Now, your probably wondering how can an entire post for a day be just about a writing utensil that isn't a marker or pen thus being only a third of the hand writing and drawing utensils? Well, there are first many types of pencils for various uses, pros and cons but first what are the pencils we will go over in today's post? The pencils talked about today are wooden pencils, mechanical, charcoal, color and premium color. Me as the one who can barely be called a beginner didn't know about the premium color pencils till recently and still don't see the difference between them but let's move on. First up is a regular wooden pencil.
Regular pencils are perfect for things like shading and even fine point drawing. The downside to these is that they have to be sharpened. Next mechanical pencils.
These pencils are the ones I prefer to use as all you need to do when your lead is short is to either push a button or pop a top off in order to fill the lead. Downside is that shading on it is a bit odd. 
Moving on we come across the obscure ( to me at least ) charcoals pencil. 
Charcoal pencils are great for sketching and shading purpose but smears very easy. Lastly, I'd like to talk about the various color pencils and this is where I think is pretty absurd. 
So, for us non artist we would be ok buying a 72 pack of crazyart color pencils for $10. That's all fine and dandy but I have art friends who are willing to shell out an extra $20 dollars at a total of $40 dollars for " premium " 72 pack of color pencils. What do these " premium " color pencil have so special? More color variations ( slightly ) and they don't fade after weeks.... That's it....Well, for today's QOTD I'd like to know if you guys are the ones who'd be willing to shell out the extra $20 for 1 1/2 of a difference? As with every QOTD you can leave your answer in the comment section below and it may be featured in the next post. See ya'll next post.

Webcomics

Hello and welcome to another post of LLG, today we are moving away from the animation topic that has been on recent post but still in the art category. If you have read the title, then you would know that the topic of the day is webcomics! As always the first question this blog likes to answer for any topic ( no matter how small ) is what the topic is. So, webcomics are comics that are on the web. So, where would one post such a comic? There are numerous ways to post a comic series. The first and easiest way is to post it on social media.
Sites like Deviant Art are made mainly to showcase one's art. Sites like these can double for posting webcomics. Sadly I don't know much else about the site but I am 50% sure that it is made to where you can't get paid for comics which is true for other sites similar like tumblr. Now, another way to set up a web comic is through a blog such as the very one you are reading. This is possible and very manageable but despite that I have not made a comic as I am just not at the skill level needed to make multiple characters, background and movements in my art yet but do know that in the future this may happen. Sadly like Deviant art you can't get paid by yourself but you can set up an ad system in order to get money very similar to youtube ( please note that there are no ads on this blog as I haven't set up the ad system and will not be doing so). Now, for the final place that is a good place for a webcomic is a site/app that I have mentioned on this blog before and that is the site tapastic.
Tapastic is a site where you can not only post stories you write but also the stories you draw as a webcomic. The site can be viewed online on desktop or on the mobile app. This is the site I know the most about as I never really visit the others sites as often and tapastic makes it very easy to find things I do enjoy ^-^. Now, sadly I do not know the specific way people get paid I do know that there are three ways that are huge possibilities. The first is the most obvious which is the premium comics on the site which require you to buy coins with real currency and use said coins to buy keys to unlock comics, I am not a hundred percent sure how this works though. Next up is the ads on the site and app which are said to explicitly there to help the site and the creators which when you make comics for mostly free is pretty nice on both sides. Lastly is the brand new experimental tipping system. With this, even if a comic is free to read on the site you can use the coins used to buy keys to also " tip " creators you feel deserve the little boost. Now, lets say you don't want to deal with that site and stick to your Deviant Art and or tumblr but still want a little pocket money for things you may want or need.
Well then, why don't you consider making a Patreon account? Patreon is a site where creators, like yourself, can still make content of any sorts where ever you choose. So, how does this work to get money? Well, if you have fans willing to support you, they can give you money in appreciation through your Patreon page and you can even set up special gifts or perks based on your content to give to these " Patrons ". There are many options for creators out there but there is a catch as always. You can always post things for fun or even the learning experience but if you want to be able to support yourself on said creations you have to work hard, practice and study a lot. Even after you perfect your skills to make content you have to be able to then make content that you feel proud of and that others will like in order for them to support your work. As I've probably said on this blog before my dream is to become a game designer/animator/most things in media today. Through a lot of practice and work I've learned coding, 3-D modeling and animating, I've learned at least the basics of adobe software like photoshop, illustrator, and premiere, and through lots of practice and hard work I am currently trying my very best to be able to learn how to develop a story, plot, characters and their environments and to be able to translate all of those things on a piece of paper or on a virtual paper. So, to ends today's post as I do with most I'm going to ask a question that I'll never get a response for but it does help my mind to try and think of the topic so I'd like to know, " are any of you guys out there planning to start a series of any type ( you don't have to say about what I just am curious if you guys are interested on the topic) and if yes, what are some steps you are taking and for the ones who are currently doing so, what steps did you take?" As always you can type your answers on the comment section below and if you do comment I will post it up and talk about your answer on the next day's post. See ya'll next post and maybe this will be the QOTD with a lot of comments. * laughing unsure *

3-D Animation

Hello and welcome to another post of LLG, today we are going to talk about 3-D animation. Specifically, what it is, how it is used and what are my experiences with it as I have worked on it myself in the past. Sadly all pictures shown are not my work as I have done very little quite a time ago and anything I have done has been lost and the reason I don't have any new stuff like in the past year is because I have been busy practicing and working on other things ( like hand drawing and digital art as of lately ) but sometime in the future since I do have a Blender ( 3-d modeling and animating software ) on my laptop.
So, what is 3-D modeling and animating? Well, 3-D modeling is simply where you create a 3 dimensional virtual object using special software. This models can be anything as simple as a knife to something as complex as an entire city! This has various uses as they can be used for things such as movies ( the entire movie or even a CGI edit ) games or even non entertainment stuff such as architecture and various fields of science.
3-D modeling given the right tools, great tutorials and hard work can be very fun and not too difficult for simple stuff. I've found that it so simple that even a middle schooler ( when I first got into 3-D animation and made a rocket ) can do it. Was my model like the movie toy story? not even close but it was really fun and when your the only middle schooler in the class with a fully animated and rendered ( rendering is a common term to use in 3-D modeling that is basically just loading textures, color and animations to a usable file type) you feel really cool :3. Now that would be the last big project I would do in Blender until I got to a game design class where I had to make 3-D models that could be placed in games which was even better as I learned not only how to animate and model but also call up said models and animations for a programed game. In the end I really think any young person with a computer ( hopefully a newer one as my last laptop couldn't handle the software and burnt itself >-<) to give it try. To end this post with the QOTD I want to know, " Are you guys considering trying out 3-D modeling?" You can leave your answer in the comment section below and till next post.

New Follower System and Photo Realistic Art

Hello and welcome to another post of LLG, today I'd like to talk about two main topics and that is the follower system that I added this morning ( didn't have it set up before because I didn't know it needed to be >-<) and an art style that I don't think I'll use too much but I will experiment with and find very interesting which is photo realistic art. With that said lets get just right into today's post. Starting off is the follower system which is a system that basically is where you hit a button titled follow which gives you notifications to when I post if you have a blogger account or possible even if you don't ( not too sure yet and my research on it hasn't helped me determine fully >-<) but following me and leaving comments lets me know if you guys are enjoying this blog which I do hope you guys are and if not please comment on how I can improve.
 Above is a picture of the follower button. Now that that is out of the way lets move onto the other topic of the day which is photorealism art. For those of you who don't know know what photorealism is, it is where someone draws something that is close to real life looks.
The image above is a perfect example ( made on Blender and not by me obviously >-<). Anyways, photo realistic art is really great for stuff such as FPS's and just art in general but myself I would prefer a more cartoon style. To end this post I'm gonna ask the QOTD which is " which do you guys prefer? Photo realistic or cartoon? " let me know in the comment section and I'll see ya'll next post.

Me and Art

Hello and welcome today to another post of LLG, today since I may have forgot to have been thinking of a topic of today >-< I decided to talk a bit on why I want to get better at drawing and no it's not as simple as just me being a bad artist which is true at the moment but it's a little more than that. First off as sort of apparent with the HP awhile back I like many people get stressed out quite a bit and the method I usually use to calm down ( Punching the heck out of a punching bag ) is not always available and it scares people sometimes 0_0 ( which is understandable for people who see a person going full demon on an object meant to be human like ) so drawing is a nice way to calm down a bit while creating something rather than destroying ( and a notebook is more available than a full size punching bag). Next is that I have many friends who are great artist and looking at their work just inspires me and I wish that someday I'd be able to inspire someone else in such a way.  moving onto the more competitive side of things I can be a stubborn person and when I see a skill I will try and learn it just because it presents a challenge and this was very apparent with me and martial arts which is a very exciting adventure for me ^-^. Lastly, since I was little I'd always hear stories of great heroics and started making little stories of my own character's flawless heroics. Later on in my life when I learned that heroes were human too and that just like me had their own flaws and personalities it just inspired me to make more stories of these flawed heroes and of course I also enjoyed a little story driven horror to be part of these stories or even on their own ( hint hint to a future project that I am starting to work on ^_o ). These stories I'd always share vocally to my sister and she enjoyed them. Even later on I started experimenting on a 3-D modeling and animating software known as Blender which was my first work in animation which I sadly lost when my 15 year old laptop literally burnt itself ( BTW the animation was a simple door opening on a spaceship but it looked really choppy now that I think about it and it wasn't even rendered properly ). Slowly I started to move my focus from a engineering career to an animating/gaming ( I love games and making them with javascript ^-^). That leads to today where I want to share my stories to the world, I know books are a thing but I've never been talented at writing ( or drawing but it has appealed to me more ) and I've always enjoyed comics, animations and video games and I hope with some help from you guys I will be able to achieve such a dream of mine ^-^. Kinda the reason I post almost everyday and when I don't I try and make up in practice. With that said I'd love to announce that as of today I received just what I have been hoping for and working so hard on this blog for and that is some pointers and advice from YOU GUYS! Sadly whoever posted this has not listed their name as I truly want to thank them.
    I'd like to thank the writer of the comment by letting you know that I did looking up examples to try and learn how to try and improve with shading on clothes and I deeply apologies for not being able to enlarge the image of the comment but that is as big as it gets >-<. Just to let you guys know that these are comments I am looking for, the ones who look at my mistakes and lists on how I should improve. Unknown user ( what the blog thing calls you since you didn't list a username) thank you and I hope that I can see another comment from you in the future. To end this post I'd like to end it with a QOTD and if you don't know what that is, it is just a question I ask about the topic that I talk about in the post and you just comment your answer or response in the comment section below. So for today's QOTD I want to know what is your favorite way to get rid or use stress from life? I can't wait to see your comments and just note that any comments you post I will feature in the next post so if you are like the person above that doesn't want to be known you can just comment as unknown user that is fine but I have no idea how to do that so you may have to search that up. With that it brings the end to this post and can't wait to see ya'll in the next one ^-^.

Nintendo Switch

Hello and welcome to another post of LLG and today I'd like to talk about another topic for gaming by talking about the Nintendo Switch and my thoughts on it. I'm sure to many of you probably know about all the stuff that I'm going to talk about today but I'd like to talk about it from my perspective. With that said I'd like to start on the console it self. The console largely consist of a WiiU looking tablet.
The " Switch Tablet" comes with two attachable controls on the side on the picture shown above. Also, the console has the ability to connect to a T.V. while also having a portable mode shown again above. This is an amazing feature that I think is very useful feature for games that are normally not portable such as the highly hyped Skyrim. Next, the Switch will feature a paid online service much like the Microsoft's X-Box. 
The last thing I'd like to talk about is the 3 most hyped up games for this console from my point of view. The game series Legend of Zelda is a timeless series and many fans have been looking forward to the next installment of the series known as " Breath of the Wild ". This game has been shown quite a lot and it is going to be one of the very first games released on this console.  
Beautiful graphics, solid controls and much more are seen in most demos shown so far and with a few years of development this is definitely a great game to look forward to. Next up is a much needed restart of a once wonderful series known as Sonic.
Sonic Mania is a promising game from a game company that has been struggling much as of lately due to many flops of games such as Sonic Lost Worlds and Sonic Boom but, Sonic Mania promises to be the much needed restart of the series by going back to the roots of the game series while adding some new features! While I have big hopes for the game Sega has had some problems with promising games in the past so I'd like to approach with caution. Other than that I look forward to seeing a game to match or surpass great sonic games of past like Sonic Colors or Sonic and the Black Knight. The last game on this list is the one I feel I'd most enjoy it's finished product which is Super Mario Odyssey.  
Is it goofy that Mario's hat is alive? yeah. Is it odd and inconsistent that the humans in the game have normal proportions compared to Mario? yeah. Does it make the game bad? No. While we can't say for sure how good this game will be just from the little info we have but we can tell that Nintendo is taking their gloves off for this title as it just looks so gorgeous and is very creative and playful with its self. Anyways those are the main titles that I am looking forward to for the Nintendo Switch and for today's QOTD I'd like to know ya'lls thoughts and what game you guys are looking forward to in the " Switch". See ya next post ^-^

Music Feature, Comic Feature , the Labeling System and Post Schedule

Hello and welcome to another post of Living in the Land of the Giants and since I didn't post yesterday and cause I have a lot to talk about in this post it is going to be a big one so hope you guys enjoy and I'll just jump right into it. To start things off I started using the labeling system on blogger for this blog so if you guys are only into the art, game or music post then you can just look at the bottom of a post with said content and there will be orange letters that will take you to any post in this blog about those things.


Also if you notice on this post's labels there will be another section called " blog ". That is a label to list things that talk about how this blog will work such as commenting, labels and post schedule. Next thing I'd like to talk about is what the post schedule will be. Since I've been getting used to this I've been experimenting on how I can post and still get things I have to do in my regular life so now that I got a feeling of what it's like I have come up with a schedule. So, I will do two post everyday expect for Fridays and Sundays because those days I have so much stuff on my plate I can barely do stuff already let alone do a blog post on those days. That being said I will post bigger post on Saturdays and Mondays and have two HPs on those days or one big HP. So, for today's topic I want to talk about a comic artist that I think is great who goes by Yuu who posts on a website I love called Tapastic filled with great content.
 Now onto the music side onto things, the creator of the comic series Anti-Social Media ( Yuu ) also has a sound cloud account and where she post songs that she sings. She has even gone as far as using a sound bank software to make a vocaloid of herself. I Enjoy the content she makes ^_^ and I think you guys would to so links to her stuff will be posted so you guys can go check her stuff out. (https://tapastic.com/series/Anit-Social-Media comic series ) ( https://soundcloud.com/yuushiki/tracks soundcloud ) Now after such a big post there is only one way to end this and that is with a QOTD. So with today's post I wanna know, " What is the goal you've struggled the most to achieve and why?" For me trying to be an artist when starting off so late and with little talent may be hard but it is surprisingly not the hardest goal I've strived to reach. No, for me the hardest goal I had was trying to be a black belt in taekwondo. Many of my friends will think that's absurd because I am pretty strong at the moment but for me it wasn't always like that. When I first started in martial arts I weighed more than I do now and that was 6 years ago! not to mention I had a bad case of asthma that once even got me hospitalized. Lot's of times I thought of giving up but through determination and people always taking it hard on me I pressed forward becoming one of the strongest fighters in my dojo even compared to ex-marines! That being said I can't wait to hear ya''ll guys stories and can't wait to work on my next post ^-^. Before I end there are finally some comments and that means that there are some comments to feature!
First up is from Colton listed above. I love your support but just know that I am not asking for equipment ( not yet at least >-<) so thank you but save your money for something for yourself ^_^!
Last there is from an unknown user who said...
Thank you >_<!!! ( I wasn't a nice pencil >_<) Remember to follow me so you can know when I post and make sure to comment. Till next post later!

Big QOTD

Hello and welcome to another post of LLG and today I realized yesterday's mistake on missing the QOTD >-< so sorry but I make up today with a story and a QOTD so lets get started. So, what is the meaning of the title of my blog LLG or Living in the Land of the Giants? Well in my close family I am the tallest even passing my father so I am at about my max height so what does that have to do with anything? Well, though I am the tallest I stand at a measly 5' 3"....yeah.... That wouldn't mean much by it self as it has nothing to do with giants but that comes in at school where even my shortest friends tower over me and my tallest friend is around 6' 7" ( something around there ) making the giant part.

So, now that that is out of the way this brings me to todays QOTD which is, what experiences, bad or good, have you had related to height? To submit your answer just go to the comment section below and maybe in tomorrows post your comment will be featured. Can't wait to see your comments! ^-^

Finally a normal post!

Hello there and welcome to my daily blog LLG. I'm excited to announce that with todays post we are down with organizing with most things on this blog and that means this post will have lots of content for you guys to enjoy and less stress on me ^-^ so without further ado lets get right into things. First of on the QOTD ( question of the day ) yesterday nobody commented so sadly there will be no features. Todays QOTD is brought about when I found out that Nintendo announced last year FlipNote 3D. I found this out today and was super upset until I found out that with 200 platinum coins on Club Nintendo that you can get a code to get it. With that said I want to know from you guys, " What is your favorite type of animation on flip notes that you have seen?" This includes but is not limited to, music videos, stick figure fights, video parodies and etc. You can let me know in the comment box below and your comment just may get featured in the next post. Also, with tips and a lot of studying I myself will be trying out some flipnote animation so expect a video to be posted ( or pictures of project progress). Also, after this post expect another HP ( Horrible picture ) of the day to be posted, all I ask is for you guys to please comment some pointers and advice as I know I really do need it and look forward to learning more. Thank you and can't wait to post to you guys tomorrow. Later and please share this blog with your friends so it can grow and make sure to follow me to get notifications for when I post. ^-^
