Fallout 3 Fan Art? Don’t Mind If I Do!

8:35 pm in Art, Nerd Life by Dave

I spent a week making this.

Have you played Fallout 3? I was hesitant to play this game. I was afraid it was going to be another over-brown shootin’ game. But then came the customizations. Oh the customizations! And then the abundance of missions to do.

In this illustration, I used the character I played as (Asgard) and the outfit I used most of the game (until I got the Enclave armor).  This particular gun, the Rock-It Launcher, allows for junk to be loaded and propelled.  I chose books as my ammunition, as it would be teaching the kids something.

If you get a chance to play this, do so. If you played through it once, play though it again but choose the opposite path you did from last time.

Oh, and visit my Deviantart for other nerdy things.

I’m Not Stupid, My Intelligence is Just Different from Yours!

9:34 am in Art, Misc., Nerd Life by Guest Nerd

The Thinker

We all have heard it. We’ve all been called it. We’ve all had our feelings and sense of security threatened by this overly-simple, six letter word. Stupid; such a small and simple world, but how can it hold so much negativity and power? If people would realize there isn’t truly a stupid, then we could work for a better world. Stupidity is either an all or nothing deal, as intelligence isn’t truly a measurable, or tangible for that matter, subject. Each person has a specific mental intelligence, and they are all unique in their specific intelligences. None of these intelligences are superior, more so they are equal but many societies bias some as “superior” over one another. So if you’ve ever been called stupid; just select what mental intelligence fits you best and stand proud with it!

  1. Mathematical/Logical Intelligence. More common amongst males, this type of intelligence views the world with numbers and defined logic. One who operates on this level of thinking is often described as being “cold” and “uncaring.” Although this is honestly not their intentions, they do not realize they seem socially cold. These people are often interested in deep thought and are the day dreamers of our world. A prime example of a user of this type of intelligence would be Albert Einstein.
  2. Artistic Intelligence. Quite the opposite of the mathematical and logical intelligence, these people view the worlds in colors and shapes rather than numbers. These people tend to be outgoing, friendly, and bubbly. These are the people who enjoy photography and remembering the “golden days.” This type of intelligence is often taken as bubbly and bright. A popular example of this personality type would be Pablo Picasso.
  3. Social Intelligence. This is similar to artistic intelligence, but not quite as bubbly. These people know how to be socially accepted and just “get along” with almost anyone they meet. These people can smooth talk their way into any conversation or opportunity that comes there way. They are often quick-witted and comedic people and are the life of the party. A great individual who fits into this role would be Stephen Colbert.
  4. Musical Intelligence. These people are the people you see constantly playing some sort of instrument. They have a passion for music and often are attending concerts or trying to organize some themselves. These people are often trying to make beats out of just about anything, including tapping their pencils in class! A “classic fit” to this intelligence, would be Ludwig Van Beethoven. Pun intended.
  5. Emotional Intelligence. These are the people who base their decision making off of emotions. Whether these emotions be controlled or not are completely up to them. To be honest, the largest determination in success in life is the ability to control this type of intelligence. You could fail math class, or science class, and still be better off if you can emotionally stabilize yourself like these people. An example of an emotionally intelligent person would be George Washington, or anyone who is able to make sound decisions and hold their temper, honestly.

Although there are many more intelligences, so many so I could write a book, these are the primary. If you can figure out where you fit and be comfortable with what you were born and raised with, you can truly see who you are and that you are an intelligent being. You have value and intelligence no matter what any ignorant fool may state using that cliché six-letter-word. Remember that intelligence is not just school!

What’s Going On Over Here?

Parody is Protected

I have been neglecting this site.  It is a sad state of affairs.

However, I will start pony promenading my artwork on to this place, as it is highly nerd related. This was also discussed by one of the admins. A discussion I wrote off because either I wasn’t really serious or I wasn’t really serious. I am serious now.

Artwork. Here.

Kitbash: The Art of Recoloring

2:48 am in Action Figures, Art, Retro Games by Dave

Mario Recolor
Here is a guy who’s made some corrections in a process called Kitbashing. Basically, they take existing toys and recolor them/modify them to be more close to their cartoon counterparts.

This is a nice waste of your time. I was always annoyed about cartoons not being close to the toys, especially Slash in TMNT looking totally different in the cartoon and vastly superior as a toy, and vice versa in other cases.  This guy, however, rectifies these inconsistencies and does a damn good job at it.

This was not intended to denounce Bawls Energy Drinks.
