The Secret Lair
Just waiting out winter, though it’s been a mild one so far. Finally got Netflix but can’t get my new Vizio Smart TV to load. So I watch it on my laptop. Whoever cancelled “Firefly” needs horse-whipped.
Maybe a UK HM’er can tell me if this is true. BBC policy used to be destroy television programs after so many years. That’s why early episodes of “Doctor Who” are so rare. If this is true, it’s a shame. I liken it to deliberate cultural amnesia!
Reactions? Better name?

honestly I’m up for any critigues, ideas, texture canges, or mayber changing the name.
oops! sorry for the spelling error! critiques & maybe
I have had Netflix for a while, use it mostly to watch Anime. Got an Apple TV for Christmas and just hooked it up a couple days ago and I most say I love watching Netflix and Youtube up on my TV instead of my computer.
Sorry I haven’t been on here for so long. The last few months have been spent finishing my college degree, working on projects and traveling. The projects are what I wanted to discuss, actually.
In the last month and a half, I’ve been given the opportunity to write my own comic series, two graphic novels (one of which will be for DC), a short story that may soon be published and the new website for comics and movies.
Here is a sample of the series, with a few characters you’re likely to see, the main character, Chiller: http://th00.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2012/317/e/9/chiller_by_mcknighthc-d5kwuvr.jpg and her mentor, Jyn: http://th04.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/010/c/e/jyn_final_by_heinz57xc-d4lyewd.jpg.
I would mask another umbrella in front, so it seems she is sitting inside it instead of it looking as if the umbrella is totally behind her…
This is what I mean (in case it wasn’t clear)

You can see the part of the umbrella that is blue is another umbrella masked to that green square insignia and layered on top of the torso.
That’s brilliantly disturbing!”The Farm”
Talk to me Goose!
Atomic Punk, regarding the film/videotapes, it is true. BBC scrapped or wiped a lot of their older collections after a while, though some copies did survive through other countries that didn’t return the film or from private collectors/groups who managed to get copies. As of today, 106 remain missing.
Also Netflix is great, as is Hulu Plus for their Criterion section. I watch mine either through my laptop (Netflix and Hulu+), my Wii (Netflix and Hulu+), or my bluray player (Netflix). I prefer to watch Netflix on the Television, either through the Bluray or the Wii, though I favor the Bluray player, though often times, I end up just watching it on my laptop.
Awh, thank you Scatman. [blushes lavender, waves smallest red tentacle] I’ll make sure that if they ever come here, you’ll get the BEST cage available!]
The Farm. I’ll consider that. I’m still hoping for one that is a parody of “American Gothic,” but it’s better than what I have.
That’s great Mcknight!
Congratulations, McKnight, that’s great!
Sorry, I know it’s a bit past sunday. Living odd hours right now.

This is an RPG character of mine named Giladria. Oddly enough, not a priestess but an Assassin of the church, she just uses. Her skin tone actually is paper white. A racial characteristic.
I’m curious on any reaction/advice to the pose with the arms. Manipulating those particular sleeves was a true pita. I wanted to find a set of hands that looked more like she was caressing the staff than grabbing it, but kinda ran out of luck there.
Thanks for any input,
Jason
*grump* Too early, skipping whole sentences. She uses the priestly robes, which she is entitled to, to get into areas that are otherwise unavailable to the public.
Also McKnight, great news! Love the artwork. Based on that alone I’d read it.
Jason
To clarify, those were commissions. The character profiles and concept designs are all I can take credit for. Well, that and paying more talented people to draw pretty pictures for me.
Congrats to McKnight on your news. Looks like your headed to the “big show”. Don’t forget to give us updates on your work so we can follow your successes! Cheers!
@McKnight: Congratulations! Keep us in the loop. Chiller looks awesome.
@Kaldath & Vampyrist: I am so loving Netflix (and hating Vizio). Supposedly, Vizio is going to push a firmware update that should get Netflix working. We’ll see…
In all seriousness, I might disappear for awhile as a crank up the monster marathons. I should get a tablet and a treadmill. Get in shape while watching my shows on my schedule. Man, the 21st Century rocks!
Unbelievable that 106 episodes of Doctor Who are gone. :/
Great job, dreams do come true.
There is one amendment to what I was announcing earlier. Rather than Jyn, McKnight will actually be the mentor character to Chiller. Here he is: http://th06.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/059/2/3/the_immortal_mcknight_by_heinz57xc-d4r9rtt.jpg
(FYI, that’s a dagger rather than a sword. It’s the the angle that makes it look bigger.)
