So I found myself with some free time, and was able to start on one of those projects I've had on the back burner. Of course, I couldn't possibly be in the mood to do something constructive during...oh, I don't know...the day. **mutter** No, I had to decide to start work at midnight on Christmas Eve.

Ah, who needs sleep, anyway?

Time to completion: about 3.5-4 hours. Materials: Super Sculpey. Tools: my fingers and the tip of a mechanical pencil (Bic, neon green plastic). Based on a sketch I made at work yesterday. Sculpted while laying on my back in my bed with my arms raised above my head (seemed like a good idea at the time, because our house is cold right now and there were blankets...but my biceps and triceps are a bit sore this morning).

I'm rather pleased with the little bastard, especially since I've never, EVER attempted sculpting something even remotely like this before. I mean that literally. I took a ceramics class back in freshman year of high school...I made a couple plates, a lot of bowls, a cookie jar, and a teapot for my mother. That's it.

Three guesses as to what I'm making, and the first two don't count. ^_~

And look! I even figured out how to use an LJ-cut! Pictures under here. )

Well, you know (some of you anyway) how I won that AMV contest back in...er...March 2006? I was supposed to upload a copy of the video to AMV.org then, but I had problems with the compression aspect (the files have to be under 100 MB, and due to the size/quality of my video it was WAY above that).....and then I got lazy, and busy, and just never got around to it.

The last couple of days I found (totally by accident) my PS2 controller (don't ask...) and decided to mess with the machine. So I slapped on the forearm for my Ed Elric costume (yes, I AM a nerd AND a dork), buckled down, and spent a few hours beating the end of the first FMA game.

...of course, that reminded me of the video, and so I had to dig it out, find a compression tool, and get it up onto the site.

And here it is. Since I know a few of you had mentioned wanting to see it.

I apologize in advance for the quality/pixelation. This is my first time EVER compressing a video, and I...pretty much ended up swearing at the computer until it worked. Kinda. The original was MUCH higher quality...which was why I couldn't use it.

In other news, I think I've decided to grow my hair out again, to at least a foot or two in length. **sigh**
