Time to move onto other things! And first on my list is something, ANYTHING by Yoko Shimomura (<3) So I went with my least favorite Mario RPG, Partners in Time.

More doodling time! I do it often to work on my shading. Plus, drawing objects is more fun than drawing copyrighted characters.

Here we go with another Partners in Time follow up!

Time for a blast from my not so distant past.

Merry Christmas to y'all (that's pronounced ya-all, just in case you were REALLY wondering.) This is a somewhat late anniversary post for this thread, is it not? My first post here was a Christmas-y related thing. Well I'm now I'm back again, but not with much. Here's a little drawing I have for you all today!

Two posts in a row? Ooh nelly, I hope this is about something ACTUALLY important, Turtyface. Well it is, it's Birthday Greetings #2!

Heyo, this is Turty coming in with the first song done of 2014! But since I haven't gone to sleep yet, this post doesn't count as my 2014 post. Technically I'm breaking the laws of time and space because I know it's still 2013 somewhere in the world, but here's a little thing I just put together! Day One: Bass's Theme. (That's the Bass from Mega Man, the song I used was his shop theme from MM10)

Now one thing you may notice, I am definitely playing the saxophone, but what's that lower sound? Why, it's my bass guitar of course! I realized I haven't recorded myself on the bass and since it's almost been a year since I've had it I thought it was time to record myself. Now since I obviously don't have the proper recording tools it sounds a bit muddy. Hooray for distancing the USB mic from the amp! But for less ear strain I separated the sax and bass 60% left and right, and lowered the volume a bit.

This is a huge first for me, playing two instruments at once. I'm surprised it synced up perfectly without me having to do almost any editing. There are a few mistakes here and there but that's because I just literally learned this about ten minutes ago. Whoopee!

NOW here we are! The OFFICIAL first song of 2014! What did Turty do!?

Well, I got absolutely freakin' nothing done today, so I might as well top off the uselessness with a random sketch that just came to me randomly. We didn't have school, but I must still feel like I'm in Forensic Science.

Well I should be getting all of my work done, but the lord knows I'm still gonna procrastinate on it anyway. Might as well do something beneficial, right? Well I decided to practice my saxophone by recording a new song. Day Two: Jigglypuff's Song.

Monday after Symphonic Band was over I was soloing in E major (for absolutely no reason) when my friend Johnny boy tells me to "PLAY JIGGLYPUFF'S SONG!!" I had no idea why he said that until I tried, it just so happened to sound just like my solo. So two days later I decided to write out the whole thing. I mean, why not? Listen to my failed attempt at vibrato!

Suicune's gone away? Well now, Turty comes out to play!

Jeez, that one came out amazingly! It sounds just so close and perfect.

In honor of my beating A Link Between Worlds, and also my falling in love with a certain song again, I give to you the Lorule Overworld theme!

I remember last year Valentine's Day was a huge blowout for me. Not doing anything like that this year, but let's take a count, hmm? How many of you people have heard my voice before? 4? Maybe 5? Well let's boost that to ALL of you who hear this!

Who wants some late mid-morning poetry? Only two hours before I "wake up" I'm taking in every moment of exhaustion.

Note: This may suck really bad. I'm not thinking right now. I might just remove this when I get back from school in the evening.

"The Man Who Could Move Mountains"

If you look up at night you just might see
stars that look just like a man punching a tree

There once was a man who was very distant
and all day and all night he would move the mountains
far and wide to places unknown for that was his job,
never resting and always moving was this man

He doesn't stop for tea?
He never breaks a sweat?
Wouldn't pause for anything
Not even a death threat?

Every night he would leap from peak to peak
scoping out where his next moving adventure would be
how he would get there, and also how long it'd take
for his calculations were never wrong and very precise.

But the man on the mountains
Does he ever get lonely?
Is he alright up there
Just him the one and only?

If only you could have seen this mystery man
traveling from sea to sea on his stony walls
only focusing dead on the task ahead
and never regarding anyone else at all.

The mountain moving man
What an incredible sight!
But how does he stand it all
Every single night?

If you bundle yourself up warm tonight and start to dream
The man who moves mountains may come and be seen.

It's been such a long time since I've actually done something. I lost my mojo sometime in early February due to some type of upset feeling I had or something. I just couldn't Famitrack anymore (is that the verb? I dunno.) But thanks to my new and only favorite LP I was inspired to attempt this!

Wow, that one is great!

Could I get the .ftm file~?

^
(me too, pls)

I come back from the grave once again to give you a nice little ditty all the way from a techno-1960!

It's been 4 whole months since I've posted anything? Well then, let me rectify that real fast...

BAM!

I seem to have some sort of affinity for Victory Road. I felt if I had to show this to anyone or upload it anywhere, it'd have to be first. No matter how much I pretend to dislike being here~

Ah-hem, anyway, I'm here because you ALL should know what day it is. It's the North American release of Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, which is important to me because I'm North American (but also not important because I'm not buying it for another week but whatever.) So to celebrate, enjoy this, the final Wii Fit Trainer drawing you guys'll see from me.



I might do another, maybe by request, but as for original ideas I'm done and dry. This was going to be in color at first, but the details are far too fine and I'm sure I'd mess them up. And black and white is my native thing, so I consider it a classic. Enjoy smashing everyone, and don't forget, stay fit!

Hmm... I don't post here too often anymore. I mean, after all, it's been well over a year. So what brings me back to my favorite little thread? Well... read on...

But this song was still pretty difficult to do and I'm never going to try it again, not even in another 6 months. I did the whole thing without looking at the old one, so it was almost like starting all over. This version has added guitar and complex drums along with the reworked Square and Bass. Now I'm gonna take me a pretty long break from doing music stuff. Either 2 weeks or another 6 months.

Ahahaha~

Seeing how this specific song grew from the past two years is quite adorable. Your 2 years of strenuous effort has become a marvelous piece that will last forever. I certainly hope you're proud of yourself.
