I wrote:Here's my entry. I was initially going to draw myself but I came up with Freddy's concept and I knew I had to do it. The main inspiration was the pic of Iron Man in his blog. The pose was similar until I changed it into Freddy doing a clipper. I then had to flip the image over to make it fit the background I chose.
It started as a tight pencil sketch. Then I traced the final illustration with technical to get I nice clean line for the scanner. Once scanned I layed in the 2 base colors and gradually added lighter and darker values. Using Photoshop I tweaked the contrast and added the textures to the armor. Later I changed the size of the right hand and trimmed the lower body slightly. Next was to tweak the background image and add a footbag and text. The overall layout is pretty basic. My main focus was rendering the figure. Hope you guys like it.
Points of interest:
-Color scheme is a mix of his favorite color and his school colors.
-His mustache from Cinco de Mustache.
-The discs on his hips can be thrown like a Frisbee.
-No palm lasers like his comic counterpart. Instead, I placed one on the sole of his right foot (you're so one-sided Freddy, you should be ashamed!) and it fires when he does his no-look scorpion-like sole kick.
-Headlights? Thats my own personal touch

Yeah, Cinco was a party we went to in early May. Most of us grew actual foliage for the event. Every time Freddy was asked where his mustache was, he simply replied, "It's in my backpack"
Later in the day he pulled out his 'stache, applied it to his upper lip and rocked it all night long. It looked like nothing more than black felt with adhesive on one side. Still, it was pretty funny.
My legs are pretty tired. I've biked to and from Taste the last 4 days. Hack circles were few and far between this year which made the festival less enjoyable than previous years. Didn't jog today so I could give my legs a rest. I will be riding to Millenium Park Wednesday morning to register for a charity ride and take another break from running on Friday to keep my legs fresh. Saturday night will be the L.A.T.E Ride and Sunday is an imprmptu kicknic at the Mayors Cup Youth Soccer tournament near Montrose and the lakefront. There will be a net set up. Any one intrested in going to that? Depending on how early it starts I will probably not be sleeping after the ride and go straight to the kicknic... that should be interesting.

I'll be doing the L.A.T.E. Ride the night before but I'll definately come to this for a pick-up game or two.Hopefully I wont be completely worn out to play. Hope to see ya'll out there.

We're going to be playing net this Sunday at Montrose Harbor [east of Cricket Hill, closer to the beach] . So, you north-siders, it's right next door to you, so come out and play!!!!!!!!
This kick is actually being held in conjunction with the Mayor's Office of Special Events; Mayor's Cup Youth Soccer Tournament.
When we held the World Footbag Championships in Chicago in 1999, we held our net finals matches @ this same event. During our demos @ the Taste of Chicago this past weekend, they asked if we'd like to come back this year and have a presence during thier Annual tournament.
So, come on out, give it a try! We'd love to teach you how.....

I have not played net in a while. With the hacking at Taste being kinda boring, I'm really in need of kicking the shit out of someone or something.
Still not sure whether or not I should ride my pace during the L.A.T.E. Ride or just cruise along with the others. I could blow off more steam if I crank, but that would leave me too worn out to kick later. They're so freaking slow though!!!
Decisions, decisions...

Biked (practically flew) to Millennium Park this morning to register for the L.A.T.E. Ride. The goodie bag came with tampons. Got my lunch from Fontano's then biked damn near an hour into the wind to get to work. My hands were starting to tingle and my ass was getting sore from being on the bike so long.
I tried deflating my tires to about 40psi to help smoothen out the bumps while I ride. The difference was noticable but not quite cushy enough. I'll try dropping it to as low as 30psi and see how it handles when I get home from work. Normally I pump the tires to the recomended preassure, 60psi and the bike just glides over the asphalt. I feel every little bump though.
I would have liked to tune up the bike at a shop before the charity ride but I acted too late. Most shops I called said I would not get the bike back for at least a week or 2. I couldn't believe so many shops were that busy. I need to give my legs more rest...

why do we need picture at the beginning of each page?
"...You have to get, really, practice, like eight hours every day. Then you get good level and then you can compete....There is no money, so players are like big family and that is what I -like" -Vasek-
Because then you get to look at something fun every time you or someone else opens that page of a blog.
"I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
Why do you like that scary woman so much... If i knew how to add a picture to modified I would, I have photos. No really I do. I added photos several years ago, but then forgot.
"...You have to get, really, practice, like eight hours every day. Then you get good level and then you can compete....There is no money, so players are like big family and that is what I -like" -Vasek-
So I should be sleeping and getting some rest before work tomorrow morning. Instead I'm making sure I'll have everything I need for the L.A.T.E. Ride tonight. I'll probably ride in sandals. Need to get some munchies for the road. I'll have a change of clothes, my Flash Stand and floor pump in Meinards car. I'm bringing my four square court... just kidding.
Ok I should be sleeping.
