Anime: Occult Academy

This is a series I've been meaning to watch for a long time now and finally got around to watching it. It's the first time I've watched an entire series in the space of a day. Personally I love watching supernatural comedies so I knew I was going to like it anyways. There are times where it's predictable and times where it throws you off guard. And to be honest people like figuring out bits of plot to feel smart but still like to be surprised so I think it was very well done on that part. The animation style was a little unusual at times, it's like it was made to intentionally look a bit older than it actually is, which is good to a bit more variety to the animation styles on display. All in all I'll just say it's a series well worth watching.

Final Year of University

My final year of University is fast approaching. It's been a long time coming yet it feels like no time at all. Currently still trying to set down my final year project, but currently it's looking to be something along the lines of making a board game. This year will probably be a particularly large amount of work which is why it's particularly important I do a project I can truly devote my year to.

Mini minecraft texture pack. Slimes and glass

Slimes and glass, what a great combination....Originally I was trying to get my glass to look all cracked, but in the end I decided to go with the swirly design which would suit the overall theme. Also I was originally goign to do all mobs before doing the blocks, but currently mu plan for skeletons is for them to have pumpkins on their heads (So I moved onto the pumpkin block, couldn't make it any way I liked so then moved onto another random block)

Currently I have 2 ideas for ladders so I'll do one soon. One is actually to make the ladders vines. I really like this except it won't make sense for vines to be made out of wood...

Anyways here are the videos of slimes and glass

Here are the current spiders from the mini minecraft texture pack. I'd like to work with them a bit more if I can figure out the skin zones on their texture.
