I've done Karate and kickboxing for 13 years. Got my black belt when I was 12, and my second degree when I was 17. Once I got my blackbelt, I started picking up other fighting styles as well. I know Basic Judo, Muay Thai, and various other fighting styles that I've studied on my own time. and have a bit of talent in the use of the Katana and Bo staff as well (ya' know those swords we bought in China, I actually know how to use it). I know how to fence, but I suck at it. Makes my black belt in Kung-fu look pretty weak.

We can spar to see how you compare. All you have to do to win a fight is keep your head. If you stay cool, the fight seems like it's in slow motion becasue you can read your opponents body motions to see where their momentum is coming from and where to stop it (or keep it going if you know anything about Akido). Just watching the way someone is standing tells me their attack options. Anyone can beat anyone. And in a real situation, a swift soccer kick to the balls works wonders. Yeah it's a pussy move, but even I'd do it if I had to. Poking eyes works too.
Expert Hint: When I fight someone, I always look at their chest, because wherever their chest goes, that's where they're going. Looking at their eyes or an arm or leg is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. I sometimes smile when I fight just to throw people off.

I have a tendency to be lazy. (Something we probably all can relate to)
I still have to make my Blizzcon costume, and so I scheduled each part to be done at ___ date, and gave myself 2 days for each part, just in case something happens. I'd be done about a week before I leave for Blizzcon if I do it right.
But my problem, is that I am being lazy right now. How do you get out of a lazy / tired / I don't want to do it funk? Something we all must learn, but I think other people's ways are more efficient than others.

you get some sticks, build a bridge, and get over it.

Should I start using C4Ds? For some reason I'm not fond of using them.

C4D is Cinema 4 Dimension figure. It's They are used as a resource in graphics. Much like the flower like figure in your Peach sig that Zeph gave you. I don't really like to use them, but they appeal much more as a "cool" factor. I personally like to work from absolute scrap, with the exception of one render. I'm asking you if I should start using them.

The flower in Mac's sig is actually a stock photo, but yeh.
I really liked that C4D, just saying. I used it in my Lucas sig. Made an awesome effect.
(on the right side)
Emergency, how did you make those purple lines you have in your sig then? A brush? By hand?

Made own vectors, and rotated it. Then added the glow.
So...I should start using C4Ds?

I thought I was the only one who doesn't watch TV. I am overjoyed.I just don't watch as much TV as I used to. I've been more involved with the summer reading program I signed up for at the local library. By the way, any books you'd care to recommend to me?

They took Toonami off of Cartoon Network, stopped watching TV ever since.
