This Is Exactly What I Went Through In My Later High School Years ... This Definitely Hits Hard. I Wish

This is exactly what I went through in my later high school years ... This definitely hits hard.  I wish I hadn't given up.

Remember, it’s not a competition

Where will we go today?

I don’t like these as much as I thought I would but its done. Process thingy for the snowdin painting here!

A birthday gift for a good friend of mine. It's a day late, but ... hey, better late than never I guess. This was a lot of fun to make, regardless. :) Happy Birthday, Luis!

For anyone wondering about the balloons and banner and such, those are just reskins I made of some existing items. I found this one fantastic tutorial on learning how to use and make SFM reskins, and holy hell is it useful! :D It really does open up a whole new realm of possibilities in SFM for those who are willing to make use of it.

Here’s the link to said tutorial, if anyone’s interested:  http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=291500222

"Never again."

Sniper was clutching his chest as they exited the ride, as if he had just had a heart attack. Scout held on to his other arm for support, green and unresponsive as he wobbled.

"Again!" bellowed Heavy, bounding after them, large arms waving in the air. This was his first rollercoaster and he laughed the entire time, not once closing his eyes. Engineer grinned, following along.

"Glad ya liked it, Heavy. But the lines for this kinda thing are always long and it's almost getting dark."

"How unfortunate." Medic was grinning ear to ear as he watched Scout rush to a nearby garbage can and vomit. Pyro pulled the group's attention to a booth connected to the ride, where photos were being printed out from a large box which had wires running around the booth and up to the ride.

"Check it out fellas!" Engineer's grin widened – he had never seen such a device before at amusement parks, and excitedly made his way to the booth after Pyro. The group crowded around the photo from their round that the attendant had placed on the counter.

Up in front, both Engineer and Pyro looked to be having a thrill, hands up in the air, Pyro's pink purse somehow still around his arm. From the back, Heavy had the same pose, mouth open in mid laugh. In the second seat, Sniper clutched the metal safety bar for dear life as his mouth hung open. Scout, on the other hand was in mid flail, head plastered against the seat due to the force of the air, and tears and snot streaming down his face. A few seats back, Medic's eyes were tightly closed and nose scrunched up – next to him, Spy was calmly smoking a lit cigarette. The group turned to look at him.

Spy shrugged.

"What?"

"This is stupid," dismissed Scout, trying to pull his coworkers away from the embarrassing photo.

"I reckon I'm gonna get a copy to send to your Ma," Engineer grinned, searching his pocket for five dollars, the price printed on the top of the sample photo.

"Heavy want copy too!"

"Mpmee mpho!"

The above is an excerpt from one of my favorite fanfics of all time, Ceasefire Days by sawruhr. When I first read the description of that picture, I knew I just HAD to try and recreate it in SFM. I know I got a few details wrong, but hey, nobody's perfect. I put a whole lot of effort into this one (this is my first ever attempt at making a scenebuild from scratch!) and I'm pretty dang proud of how it turned out. This was so much fun to make, and I learned a lot about SFM's inner workings during the process. All in all, it was a lot of time and effort, and it was completely worth it :D

Also, if anyone's curious about where Soldier and Demo are, they're off trying to win stuffed animals at the carnival booths.

If you have the time, go give the full fanfic a look. Trust me, it's worth it! :D Here's the link: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9634285/1/Ceasefire-Days

If these were commercials, they would sell so much shit. You wanna relate to real women? This is how.

Tumblr needs more of this….whatever this is.
