AllGuinness

Recently I came across a site called CubeCraft where they make all sorts of little figures that you can download, print, and fold to create a little guy of your very own. Inspired by this, I decided that I had several characters at my disposal that would be ideal for this format. Later I got together with Tojo and we created several figures, some of which may later appear in the game we are developing, and will be available sometime in the next ten or fifteen years. Anyhow, I now present to you,

The No-Action Figures

(click the above image to see all the images in the photo set)

Lobot THM
The first in our collection is our ever present lead character, Lobot THM. This figure was the first one made and was a kind of test case. Hopefully there will be a version two with the computer on the head in three dimensions. (Click the names to download the file to cut out and fold your very own figures, make sure you print in landscape. Probably easiest to save the image to your computer and print from there rather than out of the browser, but you do whatever you want. I’m not the boss of you.).

Bendon Bunyard
This figure looks surprisingly like Bendon. So much so that my daughter correctly identified him when seeing the figure. Note the fine detail of the watch and pen. (Also this photograph represents the figure before a number of improvements were made.)

Freddie
Speaking of the daughter, here is a test case that I made by applying photographs to the template. In this one I also modified the body template to be in the shape of a dress. It came out pretty well.

Big E
This classic figure has all of the features you would expect to find with E, including the sunglasses and belt-buckle. A future version may have a microphone included.

Bob King
This figure is accurate down to the nicotine stains in the mustache, and the shamrocks on the sleeves. Check out the bill on the hat.

Iribarney
Last but not least comes this menacing figure wearing the traditional medallion to protect his spirit, or some equally crazy shit.

That’s it. Now get to cutting. I promise more of these in the future, and if you have any requests, send them my way.

Up next for the art department is a complete redesign of this site. It promises to be less useful, but at least more interesting than this current boring template.

See you… In the FUTURE!

It’s true! We work hard to make sure that you get the most out of your exclusive AllGuinness membership, and here is but one of many projects to prove it.

Want to spread the word? Try something like the following:

Over the past month and a half I have written all of the interesting things that have happened to me here on this site. That is to say that nothing of particular interest has happened at all. Why is this? It seems that others have things that they actually do, or at least think, while I do nothing and think not only inane things, but the same inane things over and over. Naturally, this is no big deal for me, but it certainly makes for an unchanging website.

The question I’m asked most frequently by people I see infrequently is, “have you done anything new on the house?” and the answer is no. We don’t do anything on it at all, at least not recently. The reason is that the next jobs all require some outlay of money that we don’t seem to have. Meanwhile we spend money at a regular rate on other things we need far less, so I suppose we are to blame for our own situation.

I paid my quarterlies. That’s interesting, to nobody.

I’m planning another trip to Walt Disney World. Ditto the above on relative interest.

I did recently get a physical exam that showed I was in pretty good health. My liver works at a slightly reduced capacity, but it is within acceptable parameters for life, so there is that. What does this mean for you? I may well be around for a while to enthrall you with posts of this compelling nature.

Projects (A.K.A. Things to be planned and not completed):

Learn to play piano and guitar.
I have a cheap guitar and cheap keyboard, and have gotten some software to help me learn to play. This is not so much so I can entertain at all the parties I host, but rather so that I can expand the music education of my child. I am relatively certain that I can not depend on the school system for this.

Learn to program in Objective-C for the iPhone (and Mac for that matter).
I am one of the eighty-six billion people who are signed up as iPhone developers, though in my case it means very little since I have no experience in these areas. I have a book and the SDK though, so I may be making a stab very soon.

Get Organized.
I almost had a breakthrough where I got the whole house clean and organized, but now I seem to have let it slip backwards again. I must redouble my efforts.

So that’s me. Stop me if you’ve heard this.
