Whenever I see Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer on television, I usually dial in for a little of it. I like how Yukon Cornelius makes a friend out of Bumbles, the lovable, bouncing, abominable snowman. You can imagine how excited I was the other night as I wandered around Skyrim and ran into a lovable abominable snowman there. Unfortunately, it was not a lovable abominable snowman, it was a Skyrim Ice Troll which promptly killed poor Magnus StormWeasel yet again. Magnus StormWeasel… good hearted… dumb as a rock.

Skyrim Target Practice

My Skyrim character, Magnus StormWeasel, couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn with a bow and arrow if his life depended on it, so last night he decided to do a little target practice on a mammoth. This seemed like a pretty good idea because a mammoth is, after all, a mighty large target. Unfortunately, this particular mammoth seemed to have absolutely no sense of humor about this sort of thing and promptly ran over poor Magnus as he struggled to load his second arrow… dead again…

I am a brand new, level one Skyrim Nerd, and this is my level one Skyrim Nord, Magnus StormWeasel. Unfortunately for Magnus, I am not a “gamer” so as a result, he is a bit of a dolt and does mostly really stupid things like unexpectedly jumping out a tower window five minutes into the game and killing himself much to my surprise… and his too, I suspect…

In the leper hockey game last night, the referees had to call a time out because there was a face-off in the corner…

If only that crazy financial wizard Noah were around now to show us how he was able to float his stock while everyone else was in liquidation.

My Creative Process

Dennis — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 20:41:13 +0000

My creative process is a fairly simple one. I start with a fairly loose pencil sketch to incorporate some energy into the picture. I put that on a light table, do a tighter pencil drawing over the top of it, scan that into Photoshop and add color.
