We now resume our regularly scheduled BlogCandy, the blog version of the YouTube channel, VlogCandy. In this one, I’ve been challenged to make a painting. For the blog, I’ll be talking about how I relieve stress. Video ova hee’uh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7vJ9_Mi9a0
The Challenge:
Make a painting.
It’s the Valentine’s Day card from my previous blog! If you want to actually give it to somebody, fold it backwards hamburger style and then fold it again forwards into a working card.
I “painted” the bottom-right picture in about a half-hour and stol- …er, borrowed-without-asking the cover drawing from this guy. (I found it on Google.) It’s digital, obviously. If I had done it by hand, it’d be a lot more detailed. Feel free to buy me a Cintiq to bridge the gap. 
The Blog:
How do I relieve stress?
If you haven’t noticed, I’m a huge nerd, so the answer is “video games” by default. The biggest stress reliever in my arsenal of games would probably be Counter Strike: Source. Shooting others in the head always lets off steam and anxiety. …unless I’m losing, and then I just get angrier.
Also, movies. I love Westerns and those classic black and white samurai movies. Recommendations: High Plains Drifter, Sanjuro, Netflix. As for shows, I’m a big fan of Dexter, and I’ve just started getting into Heroes.
And if I’m still not relaxed after all of that, I might take a couple of shots of tequila, enough to loosen up, and go drunk-post on forums and Facebook.
Lots of hyperlinks this post, but that’s all. See you next time!
