Description
Io again. This might become my ID at some point, but I kind of like my pouty Thrush too much atm.My power went out while I was doing commissions the other day, so I drew this while I waited for it to come back on. It's really hard drawing other peoples' characters without a ref of some sort D:
Thank goodness for laptops.
Io Β© Me
Was litstening to Tokyo and Somesing by STS9, Subspace Interference, Green Astronauts, Lethal Industry, Louder Than Boom, and Alone in the Dark by TiΓ«sto while I drew this. There was some other STS9 stuff on the playlist, but I don't remember which ones played.

It can hold a charge for a really long time as long as I'm not playing video games. Power is back now. It was only off for half an hour or so.

Well that's good
π: 0 β©: 1
If I'm just frawing or listening to music, it can last from full charge for upwards of 6 hours. If I'm watching a movie or surfing the 'net, about 4 hours. And if I'm gaming, about 2 hours.

I love those wings and I always will

π: 0 β©: 1
Yay for wings!
I don't actually know... haven't though much about it. I suppose they're made of bone?

One more question...
If someone were to record it "barking" would it play back plain old silence, or would it have the same effect as if it were Io barking in person?
I hope that makes sense
π: 0 β©: 1
It does. I think it'd play back plain old silence or static or something.

Nice. Wish I had the chance to finish the HALF-DECENT alien/creature thing I drew months ago...but now I'm chained to school agains
Ur so funny.
Enjoying this HUGE snow yet?!?! Lol...it sprinkled a little so far...

D: Damnit, school. Suppressing peoples' creativity like that all the time.
XD YEAHhhhhh. There's a centimeter or so of ice on my deck, but it's not on the roads. I think the school board was like "OH NOES ICICLES" and panicked. School is closed today.
π: 0 β©: 1
School can be a bummer. I started reading my 3.5 inch textbook on Dreamweaver today and nearly died. Got confused. But at least I finally finished that alien creature thing I was talkin about!
Hey, possibly want to get together on MLKJ Day?
Yes, school board went "EEEK! The sleet will eat our buses!!!" It didn't matter to me. I don't have school on Tuesdays and Thursdays

Ewww, textbooks D:
I'll ask about it. My parents will probably say yes, because they want me out of the house XD I've been inside too much lately.
Luckyyy~~~

This might sound crazy now, but he looks.. cuddly xD'..Dunno why.
Well, I like it x3
π: 0 β©: 1
right... He stole your iPod at some point... I like it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Also, I believe the iPod game Tap Tap Revenge 3 stole your playlist or something, as I could recognize several songs from what you were listening to...
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha seriously? Wowww. I'd be surprised if they had any STS9. They're pretty obscure.
π: 0 β©: 1
eh... whatever... I don't really keep track of that many artists... unfortunately... Because I often don't have very 'easy' taste in music. I can't say just from listening once whether I like a song or artist that much. It just kinda grows on you. Except rap. That grows none. But, yeah...
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it takes me a while to get to like a certain song. Sometimes it doesn't matter, though. With "Feel it in my Bones", I loved it the first time I heard it.
Rap and country. Ugh. Never will they grow on me.

Yup, just decided that I have got to try Paint Tool Sai, because it's so freakin' awesome looking... I mean, go watch some speed paints on youtube, they're amazing... Say all you want about Photoshop, but if you use Windows, or have a copy nearby, Sai is better... At least for coloring's sake.
π: 0 β©: 1
I've heard that it's a bit like a combo between Photoshop and Corel Painter. It doesn't have all the features of both, but it has features that both don't have, if you catch my drift.
Tell me what you think
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll try to get Windows and Sai for my Mac, if I can get both, get them installed properly, and have my tablet agree with me and them, I'll tell you. But, yes. Sai is created entirely for the purpose of simulating to an extreme amount of anal-retentive detailedness, realistic art medium, such as markers, ink pens, watercolor and others. It is also an extremely small (read as really damn fast) program so it doesn't look all that pretty in the form of icons and such, but it includes such things as opacity masks (a temporary mask based on a painted selection) and layers, but it has a completely different way of controlling the paint tool as opposed to Photoshop, in the sense that it smoothly integrates not just a fade, but it had fade, size control, directionality and opacity controlled by tablet pressure. Plus it's got a scratch pad that is shared by all open windows of the program. It's basically a sub menu that you use like the drawing portion, but you can keep and blend colors there like you would a paint palette. Another interesting feature is the ability to easily and quickly rotate freely the canvas, and flip it without actually adjusting the cavas, aka, if you save it it isn't rotated any in the saved file. The only thing really different in shared tools is that, unlike Photoshop, it was never intended as a photo-editing software, and as such lacks filters and levels control among other features.

Nice. Although, I have to say that the paw holding the Ipod's a bit more than twice as big as the one closer to us.

Yeahhhh I know D: Noticed it right after I posted the pic. I'll fix it eventually.

STS9 is great. Glad to hear you listen to them as well! ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
WOW I'm not the only person who listens to them! Incredible! No one I know has even heard of them D:
π: 0 β©: 1
Right? I mean, I suppose they are sorta obscure in comparison to like....Lady Gaga. *snorts*

It might just be my super-ghetto high school 
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah, not just your school, I promise you. No one here knows of them either. And no one, except my boyfriend, likes my type of music so it's not like I can even share STS9 with anyone. You're very lucky.

Well, my "crowd" at school all kind of have similar interests. Art, video games, books, electro music, etc. I've learned of some good artists through them. Namely The Glitch Mob, TiΓ«sto, and Nalepa.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well I prefer more of the trance sub-genre myself if you are ever looking for some new artists.
Again, you are vveeerrryyy lucky cause I had to enjoy all those things myself, making the occasional friend through video games. Or WoW. I am very jealous. xD

I like some trance, but not if it's annoyingly repetitive, which many trance tracks are. I like electro because it combines analog music with electronic music, and often has a vocal component.
I don't play many multiplayer games. If I do, it's usually a co-op like L4D or Killing Floor. Part of the problem is that most of the multiplayer games I would play aren't out for the Mac yet D:
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, I totally get what you're saying. But I think pretty much every genre of electronica has that potential. 
I play on the xbox360 when it comes to most multiplayers. I do have L4D and L4D2 though, and I recently just got Team Fortress 2...which I found I suck at, haha.

Yupyup. He is the god of frequency, after all.

His head entertains me, how it converges and then expands again to that blunt snout. Reminds me of an old character design I had.
π: 0 β©: 1
XD He reminds me of a rhino, actually. Not completely sure why, but...
