I know that I've said this before... but that pic with you holding a Yoshi plush is unbelievably cute.

Also, Happy Birthday, Ziel! (*tosses over another Yoshi plush*)

Happy Birthday! I made you a realistic looking fox cake.

Thanks, everybody!

@Kobuk: That cake is too cute to eat
*guards it from anybody that approaches it with a knife*

@the lone shadow wolf: Anybody is welcome to post in the staff intro threads! And there's 3 hours to go, so definitely not too late

Happy birthday Ziel

and that cake is way too cute

Don't think anyone would be able to get to eating it.

Perhaps its a little overdue, but happy birthday anyhow

.

I wouldn't cut that cake; I would preserve it.

Got another piece I wanted to share, because it gives me a reason to update this thread.

Voltage-X on FA has been doing some pay-what-you-want streams recently. I watched for an evening or two, and decided to jump in on it myself. She does some very cute work, and probably should have more watchers than she has right now. /shameless plug

I couldn't come up with any ideas though, so I linked my ref and told the other people watching to come up with something. Somebody said 'He'd make a cute Rambo'. And thus, this happened

I added the idea to make it a NERF gun and darts because, well... NERF WARS! But I also wanted to keep it fun and light, and thought the NERF gun just kinda pulled it all together.

They're just NERF darts. Worst they'll do is stick to your forehead

the lone shadow wolf · « **Reply #86 on:** May 14, 2014, 01:39:00 am »

that picture of you going commando with a nerf gun was just adorable

and if you are going to start a nerf gun fight

word of CAUTION i am a stone cold killer when it comes to nerf wars i can reload in seconds and dodge bullets with ease and have quick agility and deadly accuracy

start this war and i asure you you will be lit up so hard your fur will be coated in darts

ok how was that was i too much

Yeah, until you find out that they fit perfectly inside of a 1/2 inch PVC pipe. Use them like blow dart guns, it'll give you genuine welts. Unbeatable range too.

I've discovered that there's a decent-sized community out there that's big into nerf things. Particularly in the area of customizing stock NERF guns, or even building their own from scratch. Simplest two changes you can make to a stock one that'll really boost it is to remove the piece that restricts airflow when firing the dart and upgrading to a stronger spring. Taking out the restrictor piece, even with the stock spring, will get you 30-40 feet of range. Never did measure the range for my friend who replaced the spring, too, but it was quite impressive.

Update!

I just got back from vacation. Went with the family out to Arizona/Utah to see a bunch of the national parks out there. I took way too many pictures to share even a small percentage of them. So I'll just choose the one of a rainbow in the Grand Canyon

We visited both the North and South rims of the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches. And a few random other sightseeing places, too. It was pretty awesome. I'm so used to the fairly boring scenery in Ohio/Michigan, that pretty much anything larger than a hill was at least mildly interesting to us all.

Ziel · « **Reply #93 on:** March 30, 2015, 05:31:14 pm »

Been a while since I dropped in here, but I figured this was big enough news to poke my thread back to life with.

Basically just wanted to say that this has happened.

Carry on.

Mylo · « **Reply #94 on:** March 30, 2015, 05:53:47 pm »

Holy crap that's awesome Ziel!

*expects lots of fun pictures*

Ziel · « **Reply #95 on:** March 30, 2015, 06:12:44 pm »

I'll hopefully be able to get some good pictures of it after it gets here.

The waiting up until this point has been pretty easy because it didn't really feel like it was really happening until we got the DTD done. Then it was still kinda waiting in the dark unsure of the progress. Then suddenly it's done! These next few days while it's in transit here are going to kill me.

Kobuk · « **Reply #97 on:** March 30, 2015, 08:52:07 pm »

Nice suit!

You'll have to let us know how it fits, vision, etc. So what'll be the first event or con you'll wear it to?

Storm Fox · « **Reply #98 on:** March 30, 2015, 09:14:25 pm »

Yes, will do! It should be here Thursday, if the FedEx tracker isn't just teasing me. I'll have to see what I can do to get a few pics of it myself and such.

His convention debut with likely not happen all the way until MFF in December. I don't currently have any others planned this year, but we'll see if something comes up.
