It's been months since I promised I'd show you what my apartment looks like. And now that I've finally decided to go through with it, my dad's camera simply refused to work... and I had to take pictures with my ipod instead. The quality is so bad, I had to write descriptions on what's what (and gave up after realizing that it's pointless).

I've worked many years to turn this attic into a 12 year old's paradise. Hope you enjoy the tour.





During my short trip to Vienna, I bought the X-Men: First Class Blu-ray because it's about 50% cheaper than here.
Seriously... I know german-speaking countries have this obsessive urge to translate absolutely everything into their language. But this is ridiculous! I don't know what they were thinking with this title...


Erste Entscheidung means First Decision btw. It's called First Class for a damn reason. Why didn't they just go with Erste Klasse instead? JUST FFFFFF

Well...
Momo is sick again. My grandma's walking cane fell right on his head and he didn't stop puking for the next few hours. He's slightly better now, after spending an hour on the IV line and getting several vitamin shots and whatnot. The vet says he has a pretty bad concussion and that it might've triggered some other crap because green stuff started coming out of his nose too.
It's like damn clockwork! Every two months he gets seriously sick for one reason or another. And I just can't do this shit anymore. I love him more than anyone else in the world and I even avoided getting my own meds and checkups, just so I could pay his vet bills back in july... and it breaks my heart to even think about... you know, us parting ways someday, but I think he is the last pet I'll ever have.



Yeah, I also wanted to say sorry for being so slow (more so than usual) with uploading fanarts and stuff... so I just thought I should give you something to laugh at for the time being.

This is a drawing I made about 8 years ago, I found it on some really old back-up disk the other day.
All I want to know is... WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF DRUGS WAS I ON BACK THEN?!

I've started playing Oblivion again a few weeks ago, since I wanted to properly prepare myself for Skyrim.
God... no matter how hard I try, I can't be the bad guy in games like this. I joined the Dark Brotherhood (for the first time, because I've never killed an innocent person in any of my playthroughs until now) after completing the main story. And every time I get notified that I can't wear the the Crusader's armor anymore, I go on a pilgrimage to earn the gods' forgivness, which takes me about half an hour. NOT TO MENTION that I feel like a complete asshole whenever one of the guards or other folks start a conversation like "I used to think you were a hero...". Same goes for the Fallout and KotOR games. The only game where I didn't feel bad for being evil was Mass Effect... asshole Shepard = best Shepard.
IDK but, does anyone else suffer from this good guy complex in games?

I love Argonians! And I love Khajiit! And I kinda like Dunmer too. The less it looks like a human, the more I love the race. Except for Orcs, because Orcs don't like anybody, so I don't like them either.
But yeah, this is my character for now.



MY TABLET! The fucking new one from wacom that I spent all of my savings on! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
For some reason it just acts crazy. The drivers or something are in conflict with the very soul of my computer. It acts as if there is no pressure sensitivity and my mouse goes on and off all the time and I NEED THAT DAMN THING TO WORK because I have actual shit to draw that has to be done within a certain period of time. Fucking fuck

Oh, but while I'm already riled up and raging. Most of you won't remember this, but about a year ago I was asked by this comedy trio from youtube called chadmattandrob to draw a shirt design for their online store.
GUESS WHAT? I was never paid for what I did. They just ignored all mails after they had what they wanted. And they didn't even print the shirt but instead used the button set they requested after I sent them the finished shirt design.
Worst of all, I wasn't even the only one they scammed. Two other guys form deviantart went through the same bullshit.
Under other circumstances I wouldn't even be that surprised but they have a really popular channel and didn't seem like they would do something so low.



Now to some random shit...
Here's a drawing I made half a decade ago in art school. We had to draw the sculpture of a torso in class... and things kinda got out of hand for me...




Aaand I've decided to add a small segment dedicated to figures in (almost) every journal now, because they're my passion and I just feel like sharing. Perhaps a fellow enthusiast will stumble upon this and we can indulge in some fanatic rantings... I've talked my buddy's ear off about figures enough for three lifetimes already and he needs a break now.

First row, AVENGEEERS! Minus Black Widow (and some others), she has a crappy sculpt, boring paint and is not worth the money. I got so lucky with that Hawkeye though! The person selling it probably didn't know he's rare and sold it really cheap.
Second pic, Hulkling and Wiccan. Now there just needs to be a Northstar, Daken and Uninon Jack and we have us a new YMCA music video cast xD



OH AND
Whoever can get me this Loki, will be the proud owner of a slave-artist - that being me - for all of eternity~ BONERS EVERYWHERE

I might've been a bit harsh last time when I was talking about the Marvel Universe figures. After posting that journal, I went to look at this year's SDCC announcements and found out that they'll be releasing a bunch of the figures I said were still missing from the MU line. So I put together a small list of the figures I'm looking forward to the most.



And these are the character I still want to see get made:


They've announced an Astonishing Beast for this year, but I really prefer the Jim Lee version, or even Ultimate Beast.
There's also a pretty neat X-23 coming, so I really hope they'll decide to make a new Daken as well. The current one is just a copy of Wolverine with his tattoo and claws :S



OH YEAH! A (somewhat) important update! I've made a Sspreadshirt shop AND I CAN FINALLY USE THAT BATMAN DESIGN without having my ass sued!!! The shirt quality and prizes are a lot better there too! So I'll be slowly uploading the rest of the my stuff up there and maybe draw something new (any suggestions?). And once I'm done, I'll finally be able to close my cafepress account.


If you have any requests, I'm up for that too. Or if you want some special type of clothing, like hoodies, boxers or bags just tell me and I'll make it happen C:
Another thing. All the default shirts are heavyweight (better quality, etc.). But standard weight shirts are made of slightly thinner material and are a few dollars cheaper. There are also American Apparel shirts which are, in turn, a tad more expensive. So please don't be afraid to message me first if you're interested in buying something but aren't sure yet about what shirt is the right one for you.

This one's gonna be one big, angry rant. For the most part at least.

As some of you may already know, I collect figures and have a shit-ton of 'em - mostly of the 3.75" variety. It's all I ever spend money on and it's something I'm unreasonably passionate about. The amount of figures I own from a particular fandom often represents how much I love that fandom. Since First Class reawakened my love for X-Men, I thought it'd be the perfect time to update my marvel figures.
BUT THERE IS NOTHING TO UPDATE. There is still no decent Storm, unless you want to purchase the Giant-Size 6-pack with mostly repainted figures. Neither is there a new or updated version of Magneto. And not a single figure of Professor X in sight! I could list another dozen crucial characters to that universe that have not been made yet. And it pisses the shit out of me, because OOOH, DON'T YOU WORRY. There are waves of Captain Americas in every possible outfit coming out. Countless Wolverines. Different movie-Thors weilding the most ridiculous of weapons.
Each one of this year's Marvel movies got a figure line. I don't understand why First Class had to be the only exception. Because they're not in The Avengers? And don't get me wrong, I love Cap and Thor. I'm just generally mad at Hasbro right now, because of their neglect toward necessary figures and them producing maybe a total of 100 of the awesome ones, like King Loki, Fandral and so on, which end up costing a not-so-small fortune on ebay.



You'd have a greater chance of meeting the real fucking Loki than finding this figure.



Now that I've gotten some of this frustration off my chest, let's move on.

These are the presents I got from my bro. Seriously? I don't deserve him as a brother.



I don't know how many of you have elder siblings. But you know, when you haven't seen them in a while and you're just dying to finally spend some time with them again, watch movies, play games and whatnot, but you don't want to look like the attention seeking brat you used to be when you were little, pulling them around by their arm? So you just sit there, pretending to be all cool, waiting and hoping they'll be the first to suggest any superawesome activity. WELL FUCK. And it's even worse when they're surrounded by other family members and friends whom they also haven't seen in ages.



This is what I do when I'm bored and it's too hot for something that requires the use of brain cells... Left is a tower of Galactic Battle Game Die that I attempted and failed at many times. And right Is Savage Opress  and three Ahsokas praciticing their new circus routine C:
