A quick thanks to Destructoid, it's been long overdue (shortblog)
Justice | 4:10 PM on 08.11.2009 19 comments




What's up folks, every now and then I see people giving thanks for the swag Dtoid has given them, and I've been blessed enough to win a few things from the big robot so I figured I'd give the props where they are due since I haven't really since my 10 things post. Recently I won the two haiku contests (Ninja Blade and Neves Plus) and the Valkyria Chronicles Artbook. The Ninja Blade soundtrack is awesome, especially since I love all things Japanese, and the mix of traditional Japanese music with hard beats is highly addictive. The Cat T-Shirt is bigger than I thought (which is a good thing) and I've already worn it to work! The Artbook is fully of gorgeous art, as a fan of anime (and someone who draws in a Manga-style a lot), it's been very inspirational.

Just before you say "dis iz nawt nooz" I was sketching the outline for a new Destructoid wallpaper hot of the heels of my last one and I ended up painting it in (something I've never done before). I know it's pretty lame, but hey, as my first digital painting I like it so I thought I'd share it. I'm still working on a Destructoid version, but I have no idea when that will come out. It'll be vector based though, since (thanks to a few recommendations and my job) I've learned Adobe Illustrator (something I thought I'd never do since I was commited to Flash). Here it is!



Anyway enough about me, so here's a "Cheers!" to Destructoid (the robot, the site, the editors , the community and the cocks), it's coming up to three years here for me, and it's been a very enjoyable ride!

PS: I hope to frequent IRC and the forums (again) soon so see you all there!

Yep, the Neves shirt is awesome! So far I've only worn it once, but it felt damn good when I did.

I'm totally jealous of that art book.

Justice's Destructoid Blog
Oh snap, thanks for the comments guys! Blehman poetic is gone, only Justice remains!

It's big enough for a desktop background (1500 x 1333) so if anyone's interested (unlikely but hey!) let me know the dimensions you want it in and I'll get it to you!

@BS3 Owner
It could be old jazz records even! I like all music genres, as long as it has a good beat (excluding death metal and screamo, I just don't understand those two).

That art is awesome. You should make it a wallpaper size for me :) (1280 x 800) would be great.
