Smoop is no more

And no that doesn't mean he's dead. My old username SMP has been superseded by Praying Mantis. SMP was once the moniker I had on every website I visited, but that changed years ago everywhere but here. To give you a bit of background, my last name is Prentis, and Praying Mantis is a play on that. It's a nickname I had in highschool, and more appropriate of a username than those that I've previously had (Deathdor, Spastic King (hah), SMP, Grinner, Eggnogg). What's the story behind your username? I'd like to hear it. What names have you used in the past?

I wouldn't make a blog without an excuse reason to do so, so here's a couple of drawings I completed for university.

Hope you likey. Created as an ode to messy closets, junk filled garages and cluttered rooms.

Besides that what have I been doing? These uni holidays have given me a good opportunity to veg out for a few weeks, so I've mostly been playing Terraria, smoking pot and watching TV shows. Deadwood is the shit.

Your drawings look fantastic as always! The perspectives are nice.

My username dates back from 7th grade, when I realised that if I'd lived in the Roman Empire, my name would be spelt with an i because they had no j. It just stuck.

I'll probably never change my nickname. It has become part of me over the years.

Zuurix is main character in the book I write. He's god-like being, but his power is taken away from him, because he almost… Well, Zuurix almost destroyed everything. But he's good guy… Sort of. Long story. Really long.

Art is nice.

Well, it was nice knowing you as Survival MultiPlayer.

Thanks for the compliments on the art, peeps.

@Iasper - I always read your name as Lasper until now. Oops.

@Kamira - Minecraft copied me. I should sue.
