<description><![CDATA[For some reason our entire user database got deleted and then the process of fixing ended up surfacing a ton of database errors so we're going to close the FOURthewin blog temporarily until I get some time to rework this site using a more secure blog interface. Additionally, all the formatting of the entries and other data was lost as well.<br /><br />Sorry. :(]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[
.. was an adorable movie. I ended up doodling last night after midnight due to sudden inspiration to draw Zhong, my eastern dragon character thing.<br><br>However, since I watched that movie, I wanted to draw a western dragon.. So I made a western version of Zhong, and named him Oroloxis.<br><br><br>  <a rel="lytebox" target="_blank" href="http://fourthewin.org/blog/data/upimages/Silver-Ruby/SRDragonsm.jpg"><img alt="SRDragonsm.jpg" src="http://fourthewin.org/blog/data/upimages/Silver-Ruby/thumbs/SRDragonsm.jpg" align="none" border="0" hspace="10" vspace="5"></a><br>I used to draw dragons and dinosaurs so much as a kid. It's really been a while since I've really drawn any seriously. Not to say that I don't, and that I haven't, but I haven't really drawn them for myself for a while. It felt good.<br>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[HI REALLY QUICK UPDATE. My class was supposed to go to Pont du Gard this morning, but France rained all over the place, so our trip was canceled. I found it ironically appropriate to do watercolor for the rest of the day. Here are a few of the many pages I filled with cheesy backgrounds around Lacoste. Go homework, go!<br><br><br>

<title><![CDATA[Stuff!]]></title>
<link>http://fourthewin.org/blog.php?subaction=showfull&amp;id=1265058292&amp;archive=</link>
<description><![CDATA[I haven't really worked on much illustration-y stuff lately, but I did finally make a goddam site out of my webspace (speaking of which, Finni lemme know how much I owe you xD) <br><br>I need to remember to link it to my main page, but for now it still needs some tweaking. I found a free webcomic template and I hosted some of my game-related crap over here: <a href="http://chuwei.fourthewin.org/trainadventures" target="_self">Train Adventures</a>&nbsp; <br><br>It's full of old stuff that I've already posted, so not much worth looking at except the layout itself if you like it. It's very customizeable and the best thing is it does all the coding for me so I just drag and drop and upload my picture and description for the day and it automatically generates new pages for me and links back to previous ones. /Lazy people ftw!<br><br><br>at my "lolwork", this is the stuff I've been doing mostly, Ebay logos and fixing html shit for them. www.logomaker.com is pretty useful. <br><br><br>

<img alt="novadoom_logo.jpg" src="http://fourthewin.org/blog/data/upimages/chuwei/novadoom_logo.jpg" align="none" border="0" hspace="10" vspace="5"><img alt="novadoom_bottomlogo.jpg" src="http://fourthewin.org/blog/data/upimages/chuwei/novadoom_bottomlogo.jpg" align="none" border="0" hspace="10" vspace="5"><br><br><br>and for lols this is what their old logos used to look like so you can see why they hired me even though I have no experience......<br><br><br>]]></description>
