when i named cloud dipoots

Well I’m in a better mood! I don’t like it when I’m in a bad mood. It makes for boring and annoying entries like the ones below.
Looking at the incredible entries Ocha got at the WCS really cheered me up, as did reading all the great comments at my Elfwood gallery. btw, most people don’t know, but I upload new stuff to my Side7 account as soon as I get them done, which means you can sneak a peek at new stuff before it’s up on the site . Oh! And also cheering me up was the great Tigers game last night. We blew out UT Martin! Go Tigers!
I got my MAC submission (Vash the Stampede!) done:

and my MCX submission done. Huzzah! (and you know, it doesn’t look it, but I spent about four days working on the MCX pic, and about a day on the MAC. shows what inking’ll do ya for).

Bonus! I’m playing FF7 again (for the… oh, I dunno, 23rd time), and I’ve always wanted to do a diary of a game as a play it. Since I don’t have any new games to play right now, we’ll have to settle for FF7.
FF7 Diary, Day 1: I played during my lunch and dinner breaks today. I beat the first level boss and I’m currently at the save point right after. Has anyone ever let the clock rundown at this point? I’ve always wondered. Maybe I’ll give a try.
I named Cloud “Dipoots.” Which is “Stoopid” backwards. Isn’t that the greatest word ever? Dipoots! It sounds German. Ash and I had a fun time saying it at the basketball game last night. I couldn’t think of anything for Barret, so I named him “Big Baby.” I dunno.
I’m going to name Yuffie “Lactose” again.

(EDIT: In 2016 I went through my old sketchbooks and found the original drawing for the above art, here you go!)
