BTPoke's Blissful Tempora Pizzeria

Also, I noticed there aren't a lot of Saf Zone refs - only 4. I know in the reffing tower that it says that refs aren't needed at the moment, but if a spot comes along, I'd like to give it a try. I'd ref more battles, but it can get sort of tedious :/ A saf zone trip would be more interesting though, since the posts are shorter (generally!) and I'd have to come up with a story; something I think I'd be able to do well enough.

I second this motion.

[DarkestLight]

Rossy: You can start back up. Anyh approved ref is a SZ ref by default.

RL: As you can see I changed that line in the reffing tower. Anyone that can ref is more than welcome to jump in.

[Oslo]

Lol, now that there will be more SZ refs I'm relieved I nabbed four adventchas while I still had the chance. *nod*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Congrats on your 2000th post Rossymore.

[Rossymore]

Oh yah. That happened. I'd only slightly noticed.

[Mew Master]

Hey guys, some news from me.

I've been working my butt off in recent weeks to get various copies of my artwork 'up to par' so that I can sell them. Today, I got the first batch of Prints made, and let me say, they are SHINY! They all came out great (with some minor tweaks here and there I'm going to go discuss with them on Thursday), and I'll be going to my First Con in the Artist Alley at SoDak in Rapid City, SD next month, with the next one in Sioux Falls (hopefully), and others along the way!

So I'm really excited, and maybe this will be the break I need to stop delivering tacos and start focusing on Art and Paleontology (I'll be spending my time not drawing to research and publications).

[DarkestLight]

Congrats. I read that, but Ive yet to see any preview prints. #1) Don't get discouraged at any point. Keep the hustle going

[Mew Master]

DL: These are what I'm selling, though the printed versions are a bit darker.

And one WoW piece: http://dr-studios.deviantart.com/gal...72628#/d2983o8

And that's all I'm basically getting as of now. It's a total of 23 Prints, with at least one more in the works as I frantically try to finish old pieces for the printers.

[Blademaster]

That's great and all, but is selling pics of WoW and Godzilla, y'know... legal...?

[DarkestLight]

Yo.... remember that tournament ..>.>..

[Mew Master]

Blade: Actually, yes it is. One can sell fan work via parody and creative commons. As well as major producers of said media that the fan work is based upon don't really care so long as you're not making t-shirts, buttons, or the like (cuz real money is in merchandising...). Many consider it free advertising. There's also the issue of style, where if you make the piece too close to the original style it can bring in some copyright issues (tracing and such).

If they didn't Artist Alley spots wouldn't be so competitive and most of the work produced wouldn't be fan art.

All right, summer is here. At least according to the thread title. Now I have two ideas for matches, and the first one of them, well, I was too slow realizing it, it might be too late to post it now.

Anyway, it would have been an ice hockey Pokemon battle, like 3 on 3 or something, the battlefield being an ice hockey rink. But I figured out I should have started it earlier, it might take too long, too long since the IIHF Championship 2012 Helsinki Stockholm ends already next week.

Another idea, on the other hand, would be a huge Dragon Type Pokemon Battle since this is the year of Dragon according to the Chinese calendar. I should post that soon.

Summer? What you talking about? Half the world is in winter...

[Mew Master]

Summer? What you talking about? Half the world is in winter...

The uniportant half....*runs, snickering*

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Ayeun, you might notice that I said summer is HERE. Unfortunately, I don't live in Australia.

[Rossymore]

It's been raining for a few days here. You sure about that summer thing?

I'm not.

[Perfect Chaos]

It's been raining for a few days here. You sure about that summer thing?

I'm not.

My 110˚F weather over here says hi

Should've begged my parents to bring me home for my May holidays. Worst. Decision. Ever.

[Ash0011]

I'm also not sure, I seem to live in a place where the weather can't decide if it wants to give us pneumonia or burn us to a crisp

[Mew Master]

Ditto

[DarkestLight]

<.< I dunno what ya'll are talking about. Its spring. Spring is meant to be stupid.

[Ash0011]

meh summer vacation is about a week away so...

[Mew Master]

Though according to Cartoon Network, Summer doesn't start till June 1st :/

[Ash0011]

summer vacation officially starts summer for all who are in school

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Spring is meant to be stupid.

Spring is stupid.
But SUMMER IS CRAZY.

[Oslo]

Less summertime talk. More sangria talk.

[RaZoR LeAf]

Wettest April in the UK since records began (in 1910).

Sangria! Hooray! Lets all get drunk and not remember anything the next day and only find out were were inappropriately touching people a few days later.

Not that I've ever done that...

[ChobiChibi]

Drought my ass XP

I remember this time last year when it was sunny and lovely and we had all the parties to celebrate end of semester D:

Ohey Welshie! Greetings from your abusive, Bristolian neighbours down south a bit...

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I've had about 10 BBQ's so far. Last year it was 25

I'm getting kinda depressed by this weather..

[Cynder]

England - the only country where even after the wettest April on record that they're still enforcing a hosepipe ban ¬¬

Not that I'm affected, of course - I live up north and don't bother with gardening. Niether do my parents other than keeping the grass cut. In fact, the only use the hosepipe gets is washing the car. Woo! xD

[Mew Master]

... Hosepipe... srsly? You English name stuff weird...

[ChobiChibi]

... Well, what other name is there for a hosepipe? Enlighten me!

[Mew Master]

Hose. It's just that simple

[Ash0011]

you mean a hose or a pipe each are similar enough to where they can be confused but different enough that it matters, the paradox of the english language

[Mew Master]

I mean calling a long tube in which water flows a 'hosepipe' is like 'Sahara Desert.' It's redundant.

[Cynder]

Only seems wierd because you're not English... xD Out of curiousity, what exactly do you call them?

EDIT: Seriously? 4 posts before I can post? F-- Hose ban though? Really? Sounds silly to me xD

[Ash0011]

no, more like calling the sahara desert a desert

[Mew Master]

But Sahara MEANS Desert. You're calling it the Desert Desert.

Cnyder: Actually we just call it a water-ban

[Ash0011]

we, over in texas had a burn ban, a fireworks ban, and a water ration, almost none of which anyone payed any attention to (aside from the water ration)
also sahara doesn't mean desert, it is a desert

[Cynder]

...But a water ban is like saying that water is actually banned - using that name I'd presume that you're not allowed to shower, wash up, drink, etc. Whose terminology makes less sense now? xD

[Ash0011]

its a water ration not a ban
