Some Anna Nicole Smith I did (there's another naughty one below the fold):

Here's a couple of later images. She was doing the Madonna "Blonde Ambition" thing at this point. She had the giant fake breasts and the heavy makeup, but was still pretty thin and healthy-looking. This would be before her brief movie career.

Another version:

And here's one that more closely exemplifies how she looked about the time of the movies, but before she largely (heh) vanished from sight for almost a decade. When she did the movies, especially the second one, you could see she was starting to put on a bit of weight. Still thin by any measure, of course, her middle was thickening up. She went full platinum at this point, sporting practically white hair and frequently featuring very stark makeup. She also still tied her hair back a lot, or just wore it brushed straight and simple. It was an effective look. It's also not quite what I used below...I'm still looking for a good example.

A variety of tabletop and card games we've filmed for 4NerdFamily:

I have been working on setting up a new Games/Let's Play channel on YouTube. The goal is to make the channel self-sufficient, and we've made some gains in that direction. After a couple of months of work, we've got about 250 videos uploaded, and we just recently were able to get a new game capture box for the consoles (instead of using a video camera). A lot of these early videos are rough, but I think it's time to start sharing:



You can find updates on Facebook, Patreon, and the YouTube channel. Input is appreciated.

This is the lazy version. I haven't done the good version yet. It's lazy because the problem with the image is there is a ton of white and off-white noise surrounding the image. If you did a magic wand and fill, you could see it easily. Or if you adjust your brightness and contrast. I'll eventually clean this image up and do a new background.

My only Black Lagoon wallpaper, so far. I'm working on another. Despite countless people telling me the show is worth it, I still haven't watched any Black Lagoon. Like Noir or Macross F, I'm afraid the show has probably been built up so high by so many people in my mind that it can't help but be a disappointment. Still, I know a bit about the show, and I'm a big fan of the characters of especially Rebecca/Reby/Revy, and Rock. For this wallpaper, I took a decent quality image that's probably fairly well-known and popular, cleaned it up, made a few areas more stark and contrasted to play with the lighting a bit. Since I started uploaded wallpaper to Deviantart, this has been by far the most popular.

This is one I did, or actually did very little. The original image is by an artist who goes by T-Kay, you can find his art on FurAffinity. (You have to be a member and logged in to view his page)

I just took a colored character image he did in 2015, edited out the background, which was easy because the background had been added in after the image was done, and recolored it to something I though was complimentary.

Still don't have that Godzilla image.

Pursuent to my personal pet-theory regarding the origins of Godzilla and at least some of the method to his madness, I recently became aware, while stuck in New Orleans thanks to a Southwest Airlines computer crash, that some Battleship Nagato artifacts were being displayed at the National World War 2 Museum on Magazine Street. Namely, some battleship binoculars with mounting, an officer's sword (likely but not definitely taken from Nagato), and the Admiral's flag placed there while the ship sailed as a flagship.

Now I need art of Godzilla attacking the Big Easy, preferable with Nagato riding on his shoulders or head.

Villetta Nu from Code Geass. Never seen the show. I've watched the Abridged Series of the first series. I don't even care for the actual "art" of the show, per se. But the character designs are great; just not the way they're drawn in the actual series. Also, Japanese Teenager Disease at work, again. Nu is supposed to be, like, 19 years old.
