I’m still internet famous for the time being. This is far too amusing to be real, but IT IS.

Let me back up a bit: If you recall, the other day I did a fan art piece for NSFW (a comedy video podcast on TWiT) and tweeted it to the hosts… and I figured that it would bring some funny and get some retweets and that would be it.

I, uh, apparently made enough of an impact to get said piece plugged during the aftershow (sadly, it is not included in the actual podcast and I wish I knew how to capture a live Ustream feed) AND retweeted by everyone in the pic. (Though… due to Twitter’s 140-character limit, my Twitter handle got dropped! Bah!)

I PROBABLY should have linked the actual DB entry rather than the fullview so I could get an accurate viewcount, but based on server logs and bandwidth usage, it got about 2700+ views.

It doesn’t end there, either. It’s been uploaded to the BBpedia and as of this posting, made the featured photo on the front page (despite clearly NOT being a photo). And yesterday morning, it got mentioned during TWiT’s coverage of the first Google I/O keynote. I didn’t actually get to watch the video version of that in full until just a couple hours ago and it turns out about 3/4 of the way through the event, Leo Laporte decided to display my horseapples doodle live.

Here’s the youtube of the Google I/O video, my drawing shows up around 1:33:50 (I’ll crop out that part and repost it to my YouTube account in a bit so you won’t have to wait for that monster to buffer all the way)

Yeah. I got praised by freaking Leo Laporte, the king of the internet! Maybe not by name but, hell, that was partially my fault for not embedding my Twitter handle or something in the corner. I’m under no delusions that this actually means anything in the long run or that I could pull off anything like this again. However, please indulge me in letting me enjoy my few minutes of internet fame. :P

The reason I haven’t posted this to my deviantArt is because the mods there don’t take too kindly to any depictions of Pedobear (even though I’ve warped his portrayal a lot by having him chase a 21 year old dude who’s been branded the analog of Justin Bieber, as opposed to little girls). It’s not written anywhere but I would rather err on the side of not getting smacked by the dA banhammer. ^_^;

Update @ 11:00pm

I am INTERNET FAMOUS… for, like, 5 minutes. Maybe 10. And the story that goes with this pic might be a little more important than the pic itself…

It’s a followup to the last piece, and while I was finishing up on it, I lurked in TWiT‘s #unfiltered chat room while yesterday’s NSFW was recording. And, uh…. both this and the previous pic got flashed on the livestream– the first pic during the pre-show, and BOTH during the aftershow. XD And it’s STILL getting some minor retweeting action.

(…maybe I should have direct-linked the page it was on rather than a direct link to the fullview so I could get a more accurate view count. Oh well.)

Also? For being very simply-designed, Pedobear is a freaking pain to draw.

In other news, STEAM BANDWAGON. I HAVE JUMPED ON IT. (Steam ID: Ayarane)
Looted Portal since, you know, it’s kind of free right now (until the 24th). Strange, strange little game. Though I can’t say I would mind having a gun that lets me make portals. :P (Oh yes, there’s an RT gag in here somewhere… blue and orange Warp Portals, bwahaha)
It makes Blastoise work a little, though… a consequence of his being dual monitors (which halves his graphical oomph) but once he gets going everything is right as rain.

What the hell is this? It’s redonkulous, that’s what. Not only do I do fan art of freaking pundits on the TV, now I’ve taken to doing fan art of podcast hosts! WTF!

In all seriousness, though, I like NSFW way, way too much, so this was going to happen eventually. :P Both hosts were greatly, GREATLY amused. :) I like these instances in which I get to blindside such awesome people with Instant Ramen as payback for providing all that win.

In other news, commenting has now been enabled on the main Ayarane Project feed (as in, what you see when you go to layer-infinity.net). Trying to shunt all feedback into the LiveJournal feed is not proving effective, so may as well just open the gates on all sides henceforth. Just like on Facebook, you’ll always have the option to come to the core LJ version if you wish. So, pick your poison!

I promise this will make sense eventually.
Let’s just say that if things fall into place (or reasonably close), you’re going to see quite a bit of variations on this pic.

Left to right: seraphzero, neophoenixte and some dood in a cape.

Shiny armor is shiny!
Remake of Hikaru’s original FE Bromide. Numair’s probably getting a remake, too, but I’ve not yet decided on how that’ll look.

Also, I’m going to preemptively address a particular detail– that is Excalibur that Hikaru’s about to draw out. Not a…
Gah.
Maybe I should have just given her Omega Crescent, I forgot how Excalibur has a handle that has unintentional phallic optics if you can’t see the rest of the sword. (Of course, I remember a “WTF OUT OF LEFT FIELD” moment in Level 2 Drawing back at Chaffey in which my otherwise-awesome professor pulled some crazy interpretation about Excalibur and now I can’t unsee it and ohgod why am I going there?!)

…

I’m going to sit over there now.
