I delayed on writing one of these and I'm not even sure why. But greetings! I'm BB. I tumbl at negativekarmaengine but on almost every other site you can find me under the username siveambrai. I'm a college professor at a small Baltimore university. I teach video game design and programming. I am a social scientist that works primarily on understanding technology use communities and the cultures they develop. I'm currently working with a co-author to write a book about geek masculinity and the media. I have a history of mental health issues and abuse but haven't really talked much about either publicly. I'm always happy to talk about college and provide help or feedback in anything related to it. I also occasionally perform acts of art, which has been almost obsessively focused on the Boat Trolls stuff.
Oh man that sounds like a super cool thing to do for a living, the technology communities bit. Welcome!
aaaaaaa i looked where you linked and there's boat trolls art i haven't seen did you not tag it 'boat trolls' cuz you don't want me to reblog it yet or you drew galley in the heal tank i'm starry-eyed <3
Thank you so much. They are super fun to make actually. Good way to learn some basic sculpting techniques since you have to consciously decide to harden them. Heh. Thanks. Yea it wasn't tagged cause its still a work in progress. I swear I will have it complete in under 2 years. I actually ended up scraping all the coloring for the tank pic and starting again.
i'm glad i got to see it, even unfinished. i like it a LOT. bel's expression, especially, and those sad purple gloves.
“Being Effie: The Hunger Games and War as a Form of Entertainment Media Consumption.” i can't even articulate the words to explain both just how much i love this title and how much i wish i could read a transcript.
