Finally a excuse to yap

I’m doing great Tastylemon16, thank for asking. I hope you are doing likewise.

I think, my presence on the site is honestly that of a sideline observer. So many people on this site are such interesting characters and a unique set of personalities, but I prefer to just be layback and watch the show. It’s always insane seeing how new users are reaching milestones, 1 year, 2 years, or more- it makes me feel old. Then again, I did spend 3 years off of sticknodes, so I don’t think I can be granted the right to be called a veteran. I like a lot of people here, and there’s others that personally annoy me or I’m indifferent about, but i hope that i have a decent state of relations with everybody here. I’m coming up on my 5th year on sticknodes website accounting for my older accounts.

It’s derived from my Roblox username, Ghostlyspooky. The ghostly part of it is, however, the downward part is honestly just something I came up with. It’s actually because my great grandfather from Africa inherited the name from the village chief after felling a lion, the downward thrust of his spear sent the beast’s spirit into the heavens- hence downward, or ወደ ታች, ghostly, በመንፈስ. The surname was passed down for many generations, and irl I’m called downwardghostly the IV. Yes this is bullshit, haha if you read it.

I’m not gonna sugar coat it, half of those submissions are just states. God bless the monotonous cheat code of submitting the United States stickfigures. Before hand I wanted to keep a 1 stickfigure per month schedule, submitting madness stuff, and later The White stickfigures to the site. However, I got pressed for time this last autumn and since then the streak has fell off. However, I want to keep getting better at art, animation, and stickfigure-making not only for the benefit of others but also myself to bring into fruition the things formulated by my imagination.

Oh, Helmet’s The White Zombie Series is the coolest thing on this site imo, it spoke volumes to me with the simplistic style yet expansive world with military, zombies, and apocalypse. I’m not the type of guy to make my own series or groups typically but I sure as hell love helping prop up and partake in others that peak my interest.
I love military, war, and the like.

Yes. The army is still in storage, taking up a full plastic tub container (and then some of another). This Summer will definitely be one of innumerable projects and fun. Though I don’t have any new editing software, cameras, or even settings, I think I can make it work. Wow, 10 months. Time flies by fast.

I’m cooked at digital art. I’ll leave that domain to the likes of Asry, Chino, and Tellure. I mean, hypothetically, I could learn if I got a drawing tablet, but then again- starting from the ground up. I’ve always liked drawing stickfigures throughout my life ever since i was young, I even have a tutorial on a forbidden YT channel NONE of you are ever accessing or getting your hands, ever (Ever), about drawing some.
I still have a long ways to go with traditional art but I think I can improve further. The only things I can use though is graphite and ink and pen. I did make a killer acorn house though once from a clay sculpture (if you ever want to see just ask).

Most definitely, but I’ve still have yet to decide what I’m going to pursue in secondary education. It’s between history and art to be honest, or some generic one with high growth prospects like computer science (bleh…)

Thank the Lord when I wake up, thank him for safe-passage throughout my day before I go to sleep, and grace (when I remember) before I eat. I attend Church whenever I can on Wednesday and Sunday, and try to follow the principles and guidance laid out by the Bible for how Christian’s should dictate our lives.

Yes, I’ve played video games since I was a kid. I had a PS3 (Now a few hundred miles away in my Grandmother’s basement), still have my Xbox One, and ran through a couple PCs (mostly $200 low-end office laptops that can barely one Roblox). I know how to play chess, used to play Sorry, uno, and the like.

Tough one… favorite show of all-time… you can’t hear it but the amount of ehhh and other contemplation noises being uttered in my room rn as I think about this is crazy. Red vs Blue by Rooster Teeth is probably be favorite show- a HALO machinima webseries. I don’t have a favorite film but from the few movies I’ve watched i can pick off the top of my head some like Stalingrad 1993, Hotel Rwanda, Despicable me, rise of gru.

1. Helmet, he’s my favorite animator. I’d love to help him animate something, see how he does it, or provide him tips.
2. That guy, he’s absolutely cracked. And his usage of gradients is insane- i would appreciate the experience to learn from the grandmaster.
3. Asry, I really respect Asry for their dedication going forth and creating their own manga. The improvement in drawing is phenomena…[Read more]

It is not about the quantity of the yapping, but the substance of what they say that matters 💯

And that\’s where faith comes in.
