Shroedinger
Formerly shroedinger
ProfileGalleryPrintsFavouritesJournal
I got sick of checking my favourite artists' individual tumblr pages separately, so I created my own to follow them properly. I will probably dump the small pics I occasionally spit out, requests I draw for /co/ and other horrible shit there, too.

That site is confusing as all hell, I must note. Seriously, I don't get it.
I don't like the previous journal entry. The page shall now have this one.
Just dropping by.
I hadn't been updating lately, as some of you may have noticed. This Shroedinger here would love nothing more than just spend my days drawing and my nights sleeping, but no, I run around and work instead, and even this "work" doesn't include drawing anything interesting. However, I have a couple of small pictures piled up so I'll come back here with some updates sometime soon. 'Till then.

And I'm still playing Tactics Ogre because I'm slowpoke like that. Ozma <3
I have just killed 5000 innocent civilians to save your skinny Valkyrian ass. And haven't regretted a second of it.
I avoid using DA as a blog ('cept for that time with new Umineko episodes), but I can't stay silent.

This damn series' end can't even be called bad, and you knew it's gonna end like this ever since episode 2, but somehow that made the pain only worse. Every minute you spend watching the less depressing part of the show you keep recalling the unavoidable end. So I was mentally preparing myself, but that didn't help at all. This is the first show in a looooooooong time to make me depressed.

Oh Yomi ;_;
Haven't uploaded anything for a long time now since I'm busy with stuff I don't upload here. So to keep the page alive, I'll do the first three requests to get posted here! As sketches.
They're "risky" because I have only ONE guideline - I don't do crossovers between your OCs and established franchizes. Really not my cup of tea. But _everything_ else is fine.  Let's roll.

Update! The requests to be done are:
1. Her OC Brutus for !cheerfulGurt
2. Virgilia and Ronove kissing for *Green-Makakas
3. Gaap and Beatrice shopping for ~emka103

But I say in advance, I'll take my time doing them.
Let's see how's it going for now (it's not finished yet, isn't it?).

UPDATE #3

1. Beato
2. Battler
3. Lambdadelta
4. Erika
5. Ange
6. Natsuhi
7. Bern
8. Rosa
9. Will
10. Lion
(11. Kanon)

Fuck yes 34! Finally, good taste has prevailed. In the end Bern outraced Rosa and while I strongly dislike her as a character it makes sense. Rosa being so high is as weird as ever. Kanon lost to both Will and Lion but 11 place is still pretty high, don't you think?

Also Yasu is still not a character. Isn't it sad, Yasu?
It's about me. This Shroedinger here is now almost a snowboarder, woohoo. I spend my trip learning to snowboard and I intend to continue if I find the money. It's awesome, even more awesome than I expected.
Now to pass those exams somehow, dear god give me strength.
Wow Ryu, wow. You managed to make an ending worse than everything I've previously listed combined. Honestly, it's so ridiculous I'm not even sad anymore. I disregard your ???? and end the tale in the Meta-World. Thank you, <see you again>.
Having understood that I don't know what it is I want from Ep8, I decided to list things I DO NOT want.
1. Yasu is the main mastermind.
2. Yasu is plotting stuff because she can't choose between the ginger, the lesbian and the glasses guy.
3. Amakusa = Battler. Seriously. Worst possibility ever.
4. Uncertain ending. "If you believe, it ended the good way, but the actual truth is unknown!" I am really afraid of this one.
5. Everyone is saved somehow and they drink tea together yay! Those people are capable of murder, I want them to be held responsible.
6. Personalities count as people.
7. Red Truth is NOT the absolute objective truth.
8. Bern gets aways with all the shit she does.
9. Reality and Meta-World get separate endings. Something like "and they all died but Meta-Battler and Meta-Beato became Voyagers and trolled happily ever after". I don't know if that's a possibility at all, but well.
10. Yasu is a eunuch. Please no. Please.
RAMBLING TIME. So. We have now read Ep7 in proper English and Ep8 is just behind a corner. This is the culmination, I'd say.

About Ep7 - I was surprised to find out everything in Ep7 is pretty much exactly how I expected it to be from the spoilers. The only thing that was different is that Jessica was never a bitch to Yasu, how could anyone get that from a phrase "she was curt to servants when Natsuhi is around" is beyond me. It's goddamn Natsuhi, Jessica has better things to do rather than piss her off and further complicate her own life. Not to mention Natsuhi will then relieve her anger on servants and they would be much worse off. And what if she tries to fire Yasu? "I'm sorry Madam but would you please get the hell out from my mansion and my island then, thank you. Oh and Jessica can stay, she's a bro." ...Hey come to think of it, not the worst thing to do.
That said, I wonder if they were friends when Jessica and Yasu went to school together. It's never mentioned, somehow.

Kinzo is no comments, who would think he's even crazier than we thought before. Well, like father/grandfather, like son/grandson/daughter/granddaughter.

Lion is awesome. There are several things making me delude myself into thinking Yasu is not the main culprit: 1. Lion. Look at him/her. I can't believe this all-around brilliant (in a non-Mary Sue way, too) person can turn out THAT wrong in the alternative life. 2. And Yasu herself doesn't look like the person capable of mass murder. She declined to become the head because "That would upset Krauss and Natsuhi". And two years later she kills them and their relatives and their children and the servants and herself? Ryu has some explaining to do. 3. Roulette doesn't make sense. That's not "leaving things to fate", that's an inevitable suicide. She's either dead or in prison forever in any outcome. And Yasu seems sane enough (at the last point of time we see her, anyway) to realize that. Could have just killed herself then.

A little thing I noticed - in Ep6 OP, there are human and meta characters flying by. People like Ronove and Virgilia are transparent. Kanon is not. Two Kanons theory, hello.

About ep8 - oh boy, if Ryukishi ends THIS in a satisfying way, he's a genius. If not, well, it was a fun ride anyway. Especially question arcs. I miss those times when Beato was everyone and their mother and Shannon was just a boring maid whom everyone forgot about (especially Battler DOHOHOHOHOHO).
So I went on a trip for a couple of days and forgot my tablet's pen over there. Why. Why am I so stupid.
Good news everyone!
I'm a little tired of doing them big comics and complex requests (I'm looking at you, Witchhunters pic), so how about some small requests. First time doing this here, but let's see how this turns out. I'll do 3 requests that are posted first.

Ooookay we're set now.

:iconroxj: - #1, Jessica, Willard and Lion, doing what I decide. Ohoho.

:iconliexianfue: - #2, Ronove flipping Virgilia's skirt.

:iconescargotage: - #3, Will and Lion doing their things - solving mysteries and pinching Will's ass, respectively

Cool stuff here, I say.

Valkyria Chronicles 3 will be on PSP.
VALKYRIA CHRONICLES FUCKING THREE on a FUCKING PSP.
YOU DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH SEGA, YOU KILL EVERY FAINT HOPE YOU GIVE US.
VC was the first game that made me truly truly happy I picked PS3. I spent months on it, I loved the setting, I loved the characters, I cheered for Alicia, I cried manly tears for Selvaria, cried girly tears for Isara, FUCK YEAHed at Vyse, Marina, Audrey, Rosie and other magnificent soldiers, created elaborate plans to get S-ranks, owned the Imps, got back on stupid Gallians with the awesome sniper-machinegun in Selvaria DLC and even finished Edy DLC though I dislike her. Because yes, the setting was great, and the gameplay was great, and the graphic was pure eye-candy. Animu games never looked this good, I wasn't even embarassed playing an animu game for once.
AND NOW YOU BRING THIS GLORIOUS GAME ON PSP AGAIN. VC2 gameplay is fine, sure, you didn't ruin it SEGA, but the characters are mostly retards, artstyle is generic animu shit like the anime was, there's no animated cutscenes because the graphic is obviously weak, nothing is left of the awesome watercolour effect, and the whole story has almost no impact. It's not. Fucking. Same.

God damn this shit, I'll go play Demon's Souls before it gets PSP sequel.

I ain't doing anything these days. And by anything I mean ANYTHING. Playing Demon's Souls is my most productive activity in the last month. Feels kinda good, but I feel like I probably maybe perhaps should draw and paint sometimes. Hmmm.
Right now may very well be the shittiest time of all I've encountered during  my not-so-long life. I'll have to abandon the page for the time-being. I hope it won't be long, I've only just started improving my skills, damn.
Which resulted in my laptop's total crash. Good riddance.
No drawing until I fix it somehow. I hope I'll manage to restore my files, I had such a good Gaap picture in the making, sigh.

Well, I just recently joined and I mostly just use this place as a hosting for pics (hense not much activity overall). Sorry for not replying on comments and all, I am really short on time now so I check site once a day for just a brief moment.
So, thanks for everyone commenting/faving in advance!
