♧ Being deprived of motivation due to Ornstein's shining armour

The end of the $13 simple model

So the progress of Cute Souls has been on hold for a while, after I finished brushing the golden shining dragonslayer armour. My motivation has been much emptied after this and would like a small break.
I'll try to finish it soon anyways though the probability seems small, especially the background.
Meanwhile, I (really) just found the awesome function in ClipStudio Paint about the 3D design model. Found it while I was looking for some texture for brass. Played with that for just a short moment and I was immediately willing to throw away the stiff 3D mode that I bought with ~$13.
I've been looking for a more proper/flexible/realistic human mode for long while without spending a lot. But there was never a conclusion. I'm glad I found this by (such a good) accident. Though it takes some time to get used to, the virtual model is so versatile. Not only it can be posed to any that a real human can do, it also allows you to change light source and even customise head-to-body ratio! Exactly what I'm looking for and perfect for anime-like illustration!
Still, for the most of times I'll probably just pose myself in front of a mirror..

Poisonous Roaku?

With a personal trigger a few days ago I decided to pick up on python again (I once read the "mouse" book about 3 years ago but eventually gave up). Since most people recommend python 3 and listed many differences between python 2 and 3, I thus checked the differences between perl 5 and 6.
Although didn't read, I've seen perl 6 books, they are mostly much thinner than counterpoints for 5. Some say that's still under development, which I'm not aware of and don't really care. However, I do want to know if it can be of any benefit to my own use.
While the answer is obvious. While the syntax has been changed all over those I commonly use, it's appealing in the ability of giving non ASCII variable names, built-in "use strict/warnings", less hassle for Data::Dumper and GetOpt, and the most important, the default utf8 usage.
I'm a bit motivated. Maybe I shall take a closer look after python (hope I can read to the last page this time!).

About my below-the-chickens intonation

Being a sound mixer is fun, but not as fun as actually making the sound.
Or maybe my opinion would change with a better software.
Whatever, two traces of apparently-less-than-40-hours-per-day practice for Shikata Akiko's insane Do-Re-Mi songs, on Dec-8 [Hajimari no Oto] and Dec-14 [PF alpha] respectively.
They were taken in between of changing to a new rosin cake, which does look yummy.

Regardless my intonation, these two songs would be good examples for a chicken-derived rearrangement, though just by thinking on a bunch of chickens making these pitches I'll laugh...
Plus I don't have a chicken, and currently have no intention to buy one. Unless there's some instruction on how to play them properly.

↑I have to include this picture here as I spent 40 minutes on it.. ^^;
