Velomobile, 3D art, why I was gone, and so on...

Sun Oct 18, 2009, 1:12 PM
Hi y'all! 各位好!

Over the past several months if you checked the "Recent Activity", you would see that I have not been on Deviant Art in many months, actually just about a whole year! Yikes! Sorry about that. But it was for good reason. The last several months of the medical transcription school has been challengingly rough. But I made it in good order and have completed the school at last. "I are a medikal transkripchionest now!" Ooo, don't let any of my instructors see that last sentence!

Due to the economy, it is taking longer than usual for recent graduates to find medical transcription jobs. Also due to that same creepasoid economy, the restaurant that I run with my Wife is in a bit of trouble. I am doing duties that were done by employees that we had to, um, "let go"... Ugh! I hate this whole thing!

Anyway, due to all that, I had to give up going to Canada to pickup the Cab-bike velomobile. I had BlueVelo.com send the velomobile. Overall it saved $200 over making the trip. But the trip would have been fun!

Anyway, as of September 10 I had the Cab-bike velomobile and starting September 15 actually began using it.

This stupid Florida is still like a blast furnace, still, in October. Fortunately, the Cab-bike is surprisingly not that hot. By wearing brief bathing apparel and removing all the windows and rolling down the windshield all the way, I find using the Cab-bike in this heat acceptable; not fun, acceptable. I cannot wait for the weather to cool down so that I can actually enjoy the commutes and wear more normal-like clothing.
Actually, I have turned it into a game, and I will explain that shortly...
I literally rain sweat despite the brief clothing. That's with the temperature in the 90s (32-35 Celsius). And this update: We have had a brief "cool" front with temperatures in the mid 80s (29ish Celsius). I still sweated profusely, still almost like rain.
That got me to pondering:
What temperature will it take before, WITH windows in place (remember, all the windows are taken off the velomobile for now), before I am forced out of the brief bathing apparel to at least, "street clothes"?

The way it is going, I don't think even 60 degrees (15-16 Celsius) will do it. It is almost as if the Cab-bike has a magic heater. Man, I wish I could find the magic air conditioner! (By the way, when I arrive to the restaurant, I go to the back and dress more appropriately in the Cab-bike before getting out. The sweat "trashes" those clothes too so I wear old ones. They are intended to just get me into the restaurant's restroom where I can cool and dry off and change clothes yet again before working. (It is not that my physique is awful or anything, in fact, I think it is quite nice; it is slender and very fit, just not apishly muscular or anything. But the brevity of the "clothing" is unacceptable to general society. Therefore I have to accommodate somewhat.))

For more details on the Cab-bike and photos, go to the following sites that I have set up (don't worry, there are no pictures of me. Only of the Cab-bike and "moving" scenes.):

Velomobile.us photos and commentary,
AND
YouTube space for "VelomoJOE" for videos.

Keep in mind that both of those above have just been set up, so there is not much on them yet. Keep checking in over the next few weeks to months.

Though deeply engrossed in medical transcription studies and then job hunting and the restaurant, I have managed to snatch spots of time and do art, both traditional and more 3D.

So at this time I have uploaded some and will be uploading more in the following few days... probably to disappear again. Actually, not so long this time. I hope to keep that "Joy's Growth" thingy coming along.
I am experimenting with various ways to "quickly" get a drawing out. I would like to know how Archie Comics does it. That is sort of what I am aiming for with "Joy's Growth", just simple, neat, colorful drawings something like Archie Comics. So far, I am doing them in monochrome.

I keep trying to involve 3D into it. One would think that would speed things up. But it takes so much dial, dial, dialing to set the positions and facial expressions right, that I use more time than with traditional methods. Plus the characters don't come out looking like the way I like. DAZ-3D has one shortcoming for rendering the really big Taqh Shasheerian amazons, and that is the "mesh" or whatever they use begins to distort. I find 3D usable for up to only "mildly muscular" women such as the Betaqh Shasheerians. But I cannot combine part 3D and part traditional drawings for they don't look right.
So I will probably continue the traditional drawing approach while trying to simplify the process so that it does not take so darn long to get a comic panel out. I did, however, include a series of "growth steps" of Joy in 3D that I will be uploading here. Look for those in the next few days.

Okay, that's it for now. I will now get busy with pictures for here, along with those job hunting and restaurant duties.

Okay, now these:

1. Here is a sort of FAQ (click here) on why I and many others like muscle women. I think it is much more widespread than one might think. The FAQ is well worded by an expert writer.

Additionally, here is this deep explanation!

2. As for me personally; for a complete, definitive explanation of the origin of my muscle women pictures and an explanation of why I am interested in that,
go here. (click here or on thumbnail) It is very complete and will explain all the
pictures on this site/space.

我會講一點中文。假如你想用中文, 情您用啊! 我喜歡有機會練習用中文啊!
(但是, 我有的時候不在Deviant Art 上, 有的時候兩-三個星期不在。所以, 假如
我很久才回答你, 不用覺得凌辱, 只是因為我必須書齋醫療副本, 所以兩-三個星期
那麼長時間不開Deviant Art.)
