Christmas Treats

It's been a really busy Christmas season, but things are finally quieting down a bit. This year, I did something a little different for SantaPenguin. I made an activity for it this year. Mom also wrote a new story for the site this year. The first two chapters of it are up. They can be found here -> www.santapenguin.com There were more things I wanted to add to it, but there is always next year! :) I have also picked the freebies back up for the time being. I am rigging the Hiro3 version of the Four Kings' Uniform. I still have to make Kunzite's version (or add a morph), but it's coming along nicely enough. It fought me for quite some time; Hiro's rigging threw me for a loop. I've got it now, though, and may be able to show you how it looks in action soon. The Jupiter Boots are nearly done too. All that keeps me from posting them now is the lack of mat poses.

HolyClothing Design Contest - An entry


Phoenix Dress - Contest Entry by ~Rebehm on deviantART
I've entered the Holy Clothing Design contest. If you like my design, please vote for me? It would mean a lot to me if you did, because I'd like to use the prize to get Christmas presents for my family. 

My entry can be found here. Thank you very much for your vote if you do!

Christmas is coming! :)



We’ve been busy preparing for Christmas this month. Amongst these preparations are projects that will appear at our Christmas site. Keep watching Santa Penguin; we’ve got some good stuff coming soon!

One project is planned for early December. The earliest release date right now is December 1. Oh, it was a lot of fun to make. I can’t wait for you to enjoy it! What is this first gift? If you are looking for hints, visit my Twitter account. I talk about my projects there. 

I hope and pray that you will have a wonderful Christmas season! :)

Autumn 2012



 This autumn been a bit rough, but it’s starting to really look up.

God was kind to us concerning Hurricane Sandy. We’d prepared for a days-long power outage but we only had two comparatively small ones, each lasting only a few hours. We spent the storm praying, recovering, and working on things when we could. None of us can remember ever getting a hurricane this late in the season.

The damage photos and videos on the news are memorable. Please keep the people who lost their homes in prayer, especially the poor! They are not out of the woods yet. (courtesy of a snowstorm and several major fires)

Recently we had bad movie night and that was fun. :) Mom, my brother, and I watched random movies on cable. We found Hocus Pocus, both Scooby Doo movies, and… Twilight. There was a Twilight marathon, apparently meant to drum up interest in the new movie. (you won’t catch me waiting in line for it) We set a new record for how long we could stand Twilight, which turned out to be roughly three-to four minute chunks, and those were broken up with Scooby Doo. We caught the infamous “sparkle” scene.  Mom and I were disappointed; Edward should have been sweating rainbows. Instead, it looked like they’d merely overlaid a very washed-out movie of a rotating crystal-covered object on the actor.

Anyway, this month I uploaded a few new freebies.  The Dark Gem dress and AiharaYukii’s plushy are at my DeviantArt account at the moment. That dress was difficult to build but it taught me a lot and is a small triumph. I’d wanted to build something like it from the time I began to use Poser. It does a few tricks. It’s got morphs and body handles all through the skirt. This was tough, but so worth the trouble!

I don’t know how many more freebies I’m going to be building. I built this stuff to warm up for projects Mom and I are working on. Since I needed the practice, doing stuff other people can enjoy made sense. I’m not saying that I’ll never make another gift for you guys, but I need to shift my focus at some point and that appointed time comes swiftly. 

Christmas has begun a bit early this year; we’re building decorations and other things for it. One project is detailed enough to require an earlier starting date. No, you’re not going to find anything online yet. When there’s new content to enjoy, it will be announced. There’s no point in combing through the site’s files the way some of you have been.  I do not store project files online until they’re ready to enjoy.
Anyway, I’ve got a Twitter account where I talk about stuff I’m building while building. Take a look if you’re curious. https://twitter.com/Rebehm1
However, I will announce on SantaPenguin,com and this blog when the goodies are ready.

I hope your autumn went okay and that you’re looking forward to then new season.

Quick Update

If you were wondering where I've gone, it's exam season at my school. :) I got a perfect score on my first one.. in under five minutes. (a bout of food poisoning slowed me down earlier this month and I over-compensated for the time spent down)

I also need to fix my computer. Don't worry about the upcoming freebies, though; they're safe. I should be able to pick up working on them again soon, barring anything really bad happening. :) The best part is the dress is in the final stages; it only needs morphs and re-rigging. The ankle boots need a few more adjustments before I would be happy posting them. The uniform is going to take a little longer, since I would like to build versions for two or three different models. The projected models include Michael4, Hiro3, and, possibly Hiro4.

I've also been writing more, and while I was sick, played part way through Final Fantasy 12. It's my new favorite rpg. It's full of subtleties and details that add a whole lot of richness to the plot. The characters are likeable and believable. It isn't hard to imagine what it would be like to wander through Ivalice. I started reading other people's stories for it and came up with a few of my own (one is truly odd). You have been warned. lol

I need to head to bed and study for the next two exams later. Take care and God bless you.
