Vrooooom

Yes, the month of May has sadly been spent on beer and booze. Which are actually more or less sort of the same thing, come to think of it.

I’ve been working on something over the past month, and instead of hiding it behind veiled curtains until it inevitably dies off like I always do, today, I’ve decided to throw in something that should abate my singeing conscience for now. You should, in fact, be looking at it right now: it’s the post thumbnail of the day!

It’s my first time actually attempting to completely vector-ize something I’ve inked in pixels, and I’m finding that the effort required definitely isn’t as minor as I’ve once thought. Oh no.

The title of my post then, seems misleading, though. Vrooom, an onomatopoeia, is not generally associated with inks or vectors, is it?

Chiff went to Sim Lim Square to buy a new rig the other day, (Yes, another new rig. For all my monetary fortunes, that boy will soon have a fucking server center in his flat.) and characteristically showed up an hour late. I utilized said hour by heading to a nearby overhead bridge and watching for targets of opportunity.


Yes, I’m trying out panning, in preparation for September, when my reflexes and technical skill will be put to the ultimate test. I know the variables then will be a lot different than what they were that sunny afternoon (nighttime, faster cars, more people etc.) but hey, it can’t hurt to practice some.

Also, I’ve been putting the GRID demo through its paces, and I think it’ll be a Day One purchase for me whenever it gets delivered to our stores here. I never really heard about DiRT, but if I had, I’d probably have bought it as well. This makes me feel like taking out my old analogue racing wheel and pedals again for another fun ride.

Now I know why I got bored of Most Wanted.
