Welcome!
So hi! The name's Tony. You might have seen me on YouTube, KittyCorp, or DeviantArt by the name picano. My hobbies are... 3D animation, drawing, gaming, and watching anime. I also have an obsession with catgirls, raccoons, and explosive characters (Bob-omb, Bomberman, Bomb-Boo...)

Finally remembered that I had one more boss fight to render!
Way back in the day, I remember struggling through Bomberman 64 and thinking that Black Fortress was hard... and then learning about a Rainbow Palace of which I couldn't imagine reaching --- and then upon renting a copy with it unlocked, not even understanding how to beat the first level! I had always loved the multiplayer --- and still wish they would release another Bomberman game in its style (2nd attack was still a bit too different) --- but had never truly beaten the main game until last year.
I suppose that I still have to get all the custom parts on 1 file... I have all but the hard-mode-only parts on my easy save file and am missing about 4 parts on the hard mode. I'm tempted to start a third save file to do so --- simply to keep my play time on my second file intact.

June 9th, 2013: Sometimes you just need a little something to get through the day...
Back from A-Kon! (Well, nearly a week ago now~) Definitely enjoyed spending 4 complete days with papersak and finally meeting feardancer in person, but I could have done without the lines to, during, and from the convention. I'll be posting some pics to tumblr later today.
So, why the cherries you ask? They just happened to be the drug papersak needed to overcome the road work. (And what genius road work it was --- nothing like turning entire stretches of road into an alternating one-way road.)

May 30th, 2013: Early render!
Since I'll be down at A-Kon this weekend, I decided to get my 3D out of the way early. Actually, it also doubled as my entry for a Nintendo facebook contest --- which just happened to have a deadline of last night.
Do wish I had been able to spend a bit more time on taking the photos of my Mario cast --- but I am rather happy at how Master and Crazy Hand turned out. And well, I'm definitely proud of my recreation of the ol' Smash's Peach's Castle stage.

May 26th, 2013: 1 Down, 1 To Go
More Belle art because, being one of my few original characters, she needs more love. That and though I've fixed up her model to be on par detail wise with my newest (Silica), her clothing (especially her pants) still need to be rigged better --- so that I don't have to do so many post-pose mesh fixes.
Anyway... with any luck I'll have another render out before Wednesday night. Why then? Because I'll be at A-Kon this coming weekend with papersak and feardancer! Also, because that's the deadline for the Nintendo contest I decided to enter at the last minute.

May 19th, 2013: Why do I wait until the last minute?
Transparency sucks! At least in Cycles, it always takes so long to render. That said, it really is my fault for not deciding on what to do until yesterday. Oh well, I did what I could and then covered up render artifacts with layer effects.
I really should start this weeks render Monday...
