Funny thing about drawing forests: three trees selectively copied and pasted is indistinguishable from one hundred unique ones.

Presenting a new desktop background for your (and my) enjoyment. You can check out the full-size image if you want to see it in detail. If you’d like it for a background, just click for the appropriate size below, then right-click to “Set as desktop background.” For Macs, I have no clue.

(Session 16’s up)

A new desktop background! It’s been over seven weeks since I made a new one. This one has some compression issues, though I like it too much to care about that.

Pretty relaxing, yeah?

Only in 1280 by 800 format this time. I’m down to my last 16 MB of WordPress upload space. I may need to go back and move some of the older pictures to other upload sites, at least when I start running lower.

Today, I got a bunch of hits just on the few downloadable backgrounds. Well, give the people what they want, right? Here’s a project I did three weeks back:

It’s a bunch of asteroids flying through space! It’s 1280*800, so it works for a desktop background. That’s what I’ve been using it for.

Also, I’ve started posting the adventures from the D&D campaign.

Pi day is only about two weeks away (March 14), so I made a nice little background. Now you too can shout to the world just how much you love pi.

That’s 16,968 digits of pi, by the way.

Well, I’ve been doing alot of Photoshop drawing lately, so here’s one I think turned out really nice:

Btw, the title’s a quote. Any guesses on the origin? Anybody?

You have no idea how lucky you are. Today, you have come to a blog, perhaps with the intention of wasting time, or maybe of seeing what’s going on with me. Little did you know, however, that you would stumble upon the greatest Ericcomplishment to date. Maybe I’m giving it too much credit, of course; after all, I only recently finished and am still on the high of completion. Nonetheless, it is amazing.

It was two nights ago that I got this idea. I scrambled out of bed and wrote it down. The next day I got to work. Photoshop does take up alot of memory though, so I was finding myself having to shut it down often. I fought my way through several frozen screens and error messages. After two days of work, I arrived at the end. The final piece of the puzzle was put into place, and the finishing touches were added. Now it’s done.

The best part, you may ask? Well, the fruits of this project are being passed on to you, the readers.Today, I have finished the coolest desktop background ever. In two different sizes of course. Just click the link below to see (and subsequently save) the image. Don’t be deceived by the simple look of the background. Once you see it in full, you’ll find more detail than you may have thought present.

Hello, all! I’m back in America! I guess the first order of business is to reset my circadian clock. It’s 7:55 AM here in central time, but 8:55 PM in Kuala Lumpur. I’m doing my best to trick myself into thinking it’s morning, which it is. I had a tough time adding up whether I should try to sleep my way into central time or stay up as long as possible. I decided to stay up by watching some movies (“V For Vendetta” is pretty good). I also tried to make a list of all the gifts I got and who gave them to me. Much harder than I thought it’d be. Next I tried to a little sketching. It was going good for a while, but then I dropped Loraine’s pencil during a bit of turbulence. I don’t like doing ink drawings as much. It’s much harder to shade.

I’ll have more reports from Malaysia (including pictures) when I’m not so jet-lagged.

My mom has informed me that they’re having some trouble getting the Garth Brooks thing worked out. I’m not sure if he’s trying to cancel or what. More updates as I get ‘em.

I’m resolving to put more substance into my posts, whether it be links to cool stuff, photoshop projects, or other good stuff. I have this feeling that my site has become more of a simple online journal. Granted, that’s how it started, but I think there was a golden age of my blog where I would post some pretty cool stuff. So here’s the beginning of a new era for Eric Online.

You may remember us talking about “Meredith Martin: Time Traveler,” Meredith’s hypothetical TV show where she travels through time to learn about history. Well, here’s the main title screen, perfectly sized for your desktop background!

And here’s the lyrics to the theme song, written by our own Brad:

When no one knows what histroy tells
When evil guys their lies try to sell
There is a girl with a secret machine
Who travels to places we’ve never been

(Chorus)
It’s Meredith Martin: Time Traveler!
With her the past is never a bore.
Meredith Martin: Time Traveler!
She’ll find the truth, that’s for sure.

Professor McGraw-Hill locked it away
She keeps it hidden, but in a day
she will adventure to times long ago
And all the great happ’nings of time she will show.

(Chorus)
It’s Meredith Martin: Time Traveler!
With her the past is never a bore.
Meredith Martin: Time Traveler!
She’ll find the truth, that’s for sure.
She’ll find the truth, that’s for sure!
