Well, Mother's Day went extremely well. Bought my mom some flowers and a card. We went over to my grandma Jeans' house to visit for Mother's Day and to check up on her. It was also my grandma McAllisters' birthday yesterday as well, so, headed over there, talked for a little bit, then went home and back to the same old boredom, again.

My brother arrived at Fort Louis in Tacoma, Washington a couple days ago where he was reassigned. He not only is closer to family in general, but at least he doesn't have to take a plane all the way from Fort Benning in Georgia just to come visit us on holidays and leave time (talk about saving money...phew). My mom also informed today that my brother got put into a stryker brigade, which will later be going down to California, spend a month down there and then deploy to Iraq in February of next year. My prayers are with him. When he does deploy he's gonna need a lot of support guys. All I ask is that you keep him in mind when the time comes.

Nothing much in the way of anything happening over here, just more yard work and such that needs to get done.

I do have more military gear on the way, though.

Good News: The gear itself has been sent and is on its way.
Bad News: The camouflage I was currently bidding on has gone up too much in money because some jackass decided to slap down $25 to counter some other guys' bid. Lol, they're woodland camo bdu's guys, not a set of classic transformers.XD I'm just surprised the length people go just to get a set bdu's when there are tons of other sets just like it on ebay. That, and paying $12 for shipping is a definite no. I tell ya...=/

I'll get pictures up of my new gear and camo when they come in for you all.

We just bought Mario Kart for Wii which has proven to be pretty fun so far. Although, I still gotta get used to using the steering wheel instead of the remote itself. They've got street and dirt bikes on it now! Yes!

On another note, I'm probably going to stop putting up artwork on DA for a while, except for the two Jin-Roh sketches that I'll be putting some detail into to get those done and over with. I really want to take the time and get some practice in with photoshop and using pen for better detail, along with practicing some anthro anatomy. I really need to work on it. I might put up things here and there so you guys aren't left totally in the dark.

Any tips or hints for artwork that you guys can give me (traditional and digital) would be very much appreciated.
