Paradise Lost WIP

No, I understand Avatar is ground breaking so I'm looking forward to that. I didn't know about your Valkyrie. It seems to be going around then? :). Haven't seen the Avatar nor Valkyrie TV shows yet , (cringe, I have no TV) but I've heard the Avatar movie is coming out soon? So I'm I'm really looking forward to that.

No, I wouldn't hope to imply I'm competing with the big dogs. Not at all.
But we, er, Mark, had the name first, (didn't he, lol?)

Alright, lets me get back to work people! :beer:
 
Why shouldn't you compete with the big dogs? What's the worst that could happen?

The Avatar Valkyrie has borne that name for about four years (since early drafts of the script) but it's not like anyone specifically copyrighted it, or anything.
 
I wasn't aware of the Valkyrie history, name wise I guess. lol. No, Mark called his ship that and I had never heard of it before then so...first for me. lol. that's funny though. It's just a name.
I think Mark's got it under control though. :beer:

On one hand I know I should draw the line and start specializing but on the other hand there's too much that interests me. So I guess I'm F'd in that sense, lol.

On the other hand, my age pretty much allows me to not give a Sht.

I accidentally stumbled across the quote below tonight while looking for an old mans face to model tonight, for something 'else' to break from the other stuff while knocking back the cans and listening to Pink Floyd 'Pulse Live'.


There may be no concrete difference on turning fifty, but I have a feeling that this is probably a psychologically important landmark. It seems like an age where you can finally accept that you are what you are - in both good and bad senses - and feel at peace with yourself. This isn't to rule out scope for self-improvement, or to defend being completely set in one's ways, but more to acknowledge that any real or imaginary pressure is off. Other people might still wish for better things from you, but the fact that you have turned fifty makes it more likely that such wishes will remain wishes rather than becoming expectations. (And so may begin the slippery slope to crotchety old man status, when one becomes impossible and is proud of it.) So what benefit may derive from the new serenity? I think it is an age-related license to be oneself. On the one hand, one can try doing things even if one seems entirely unsuited to them, without any fears of embarrassment. On the other hand, one can avoid doing things that feel inappropriate or uninteresting, without too many concerns about causing upset. Overall, one can be open about one's thinking. So this is the theory. Only time will tell whether this turns into my own practice. Meanwhile, let this very commentary be an early exemplar of some openness about my thinking.

Well there ya go. I might be semi normal after all. :beer:

(I'll try and refrain from chatting in this thread but couldn't resist this one. There won't be any picture updates of this one in the next month or two probably so don't look for those. I have to get the coulds down so that'll take awhile.

I'll take a quick stab at another face model tonight, or something else, (need the practice). If I get anywhere with it tonight, probably not though, I'll post it in another thread.) Cheers. :beer:
 
Well, Fifty is the new Forty so perhaps you should also consider whatever sage observations people have to offer, regarding being Forty.
