Yoshi! Hey there :)

If I was to give you $1000 right now, what would you do with it?

If you want to go into developing video games, what would you say your graphic art skill is like right now?

Hey Yoshi, In your first post you say you are interested in both horses and trains, two of my favourite interests hobbies soooo some questions?

With your intrest in horses are you a horse rider? If you are what style European, Western, Jumping, Dressage etc? Do you have a favourite horse breed?

What is your favourite train, railway era and railways of which nation?

I wish I was a horse rider, I know all about it but never had the chance to ride a horse myself. Into styles, I vary. Out of Euro or West, I lean towards the European style of riding and showmanship. Personally my favorite horse breed is the Scottish Clydesdale, they are just so majestic and they tend to be a very tame breed. If the situation would arise, I would own a Clydesdale and as strange as it sounds focus him/her for show. Grooming and putting good care into him/her to impress judges.

Now switching gears, trains. Oh my god, just like horses, I love trains. Lionel Trains to be exact and I have had a few in my life time too, mostly display but still. Another dream is to make a large-scale layout and allow others to see this said layout. But onto my favorite train? My favorite train of all time is the mighty diesel locomotive, directly the GE Evolution Series. I don't know what it is, its just these trains stand out to me. They are iconic and very remember-able to me.

Sadly, if I was given 1000$ right now, I would try to help my mother pay the land taxes which are actually 900-1000$ a quarter. Insane price? Yes. Kind and respectful choice of action? . . .YES. I don't want her to lost her home. :(

My graphic art skills are not bad at all, just out of practice since I don't' have my scanner working anymore it seems and that I haven't been able to do much. Over all, I still draw freehand and its something I tend to do enjoy a lot. Completely. :)

Ah the Clydesdale a good choice. I used to holiday in the lake district a lot and always whet riding at trekking centre where they used just heavy horses and rode a Clydesdale and Clydesdale x Shire.
One of the horses I used to ride at home was a Clydesdale x Cob but he died 18 months ago.
Clydesdale showing is pretty popular, they even do a few ridden classes.

I have the tiniest layout at home but I would like to build a massive one to. I don't know much about American trains but I remember loving those big Dash 9s on Train simulator xD

I think it draws back to them being fairly tame and able to handle themselves well actually.

Those Big Dash 9s, oohhhh... they are great engines. Powerful ones too. Speaking of trains now. Enjoy.

Where do you get your insane work ethic?

What motivates you to work with me?

 

[JJ Styles]

I tend to enjoy games that come packaged with an editor of some kind (map, scenario, ect)

If i recall, Starcraft 1 and Warcraft 3 came with Map editors. Have you tried making any custom maps for those games in the past?

Where do you get your insane work ethic?

You know, now that you asked me, I really don't know myself. In all honestly it comes down to my mood and if I am not distracted away continuously. If that focus is there; I'll work on it til I am drained out which can take days. However, like yesterday through, after I was drained, I just crash and have to sleep and recover for a while. So like today, I am not going to be as active I am normally.

What motivates you to work with me?

I don't know either, its just you asked me to help you, and I felt inside if I can help someone, I'll make them feel better, so it makes me feel better, overall, its just inspires me to work if I can make someone happy. Its the loyal, selfless nature I have and express at times.

Plenty of times. Oh, man... any game with an editor, I go to town and act like a child in a candy shop. My most recent adventures is playing with the map and asset editors in 'Cities: Skylines', but from my older titles is Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, Locomotion, Starcraft 1, Tony Hawk Underground, there is a lot of titles I own with custom made content. xD
