Finally, I’ve started to make progress on my enormous backlog.  This is just a small bit of it, but it’s something. This is a sketch card, which is why the paper texture is so pronounced and the details are so shoddy up close.  Really wish these things came in plate surface, because I don’t like the thought of cutting them myself.

I’ll get these girls done when I get the time.  For now, there are bigger fish to fry.  Like packing for my trip home. (In case you missed Applejack)

First 50 or so miles out on my trip to the parents’ place. Beanie is relatively chill. That blob in the back is Cricket, who has apparently (apparrotly?) Developed a nervous eating habit.

Bird Names, Bird Names

So, I’m adopting a budgie and a cockatiel next week, but they need new names.

I’ve already got one budgie named Wheatley, and I’ve almost positively settled on “Rick, the Adventure Budgie” for the new one.  But the cockatiel is named “Babette”, and I’m with my roomie on never, ever calling a living thing by that name.

Damned if I’m not having trouble coming up with a game-related female name, though.  I want to be at least a little bit tongue-in-cheek with it, but it seems much more difficult to recall funny females than it is males.  GladOS is obvious, but not fitting for a pet at all. I could be lazy and name her “Birdo”, but there’s no fun in that without thinking some more about it.

Meh.  I’ll figure this out.  That’s what neurons and grey matter are for!

  • @regeener: Caroline!  How could I forget about her?  Thanks for the reminder. :3
  • @decopinkdingo: I’ve actually played JSRF, and it has some clever names.  I guess it’s really just one of those “I’ll know it when I hear it” things.  Although, depending on how loud she is, “Navi” may prove to be accurate over time. :P
