Hello and welcome back to Flashback Friday where Friday is full of deja vu. And that’s a good thing!

Cammy was added to Street Fighter II: The New Warriors. Why they didn’t just make the move to Street Fighter III is beyond me. She’s British special forces…or something like that.

Here’s Zoë returning as Cammy. The biggest challenge was fitting the beret on her head. Once again I had to resort to covering up one ear with it.

Here’s the comparison to the original. This is one of the pieces I was most looking forward to redoing. The dimensions of the original were just terrible. The idea of giving Zoë abs didn’t really work out either.

That’s all for this week. More fighting in the streets next week.

Hello Top Men and Top Women. It’s time to write things!

On Friday night after gaming I sat down to draw a mash-up. Nothing special there. It went super well and I got all the way to colouring it. I then stopped and went to bed. On Saturday I went out to a local anime mini-con and then off to Les Dés Truqués for a day of gaming. I got home and my computer had reset after an update. I didn’t think much of it. Sunday was more of the same with a visit to my mom for Mother’s day and then back to Les Dés Truqués for a couple of hours. On Sunday night I sat back down to finish shading last week’s mash-up which I had been putting off and then went to shade the one I’d drawn on Friday…only it wasn’t there. So it turns out I hadn’t saved it at any point in drawing, inking or colouring it. And MyPaint doesn’t keep any quicksaves so the work was lost. Disappointed I redrew and coloured the mash-up. All that’s left if the shading, just like last time. I don’t know that it’s better than the first one, but I did save it this time.

I got my first box of the Star Wars Destiny expansion today. I say first because I will no doubt buy more to get more of the cards and dice I didn’t get. I don’t have a complete set of the first set and I’m unlikely to do so without plunking down the cash for the dice I’m missing which isn’t really appealing so this may be a game I don’t go full completionist on. I did get Palpatine, which is cool because I figure he’s going to be one of the money dice. My other legendary dice were kind of disappointing. The set has a Rogue One theme going on and since I wasn’t crazy about the movie, I’m not super crazy about the set. I look forward to seeing more interesting stuff in the next set…like an Ewok maybe?!!!

That’s all for this week. I know it was short, but I’ll try to do better next week. Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday. Carja V.
