Pirates love mutton!

Pirates love mutton with rum t' wash it down!
Monday ol' farmer goes into town.

Tuesday th' butcher carves up th' meat.
Wednesday he hangs it on butcher street.
Thursday th' tinker fashions a pot.
Friday th' hangman ties his last knot.
Saturday th' baker bakes his last bread.

Sunday  th' priest will bury th' dead!
For th' pirates have come t' pillage th' town,
n' eat all th' mutton with rum t' wash it down!

Avast ye bilge rats, Blue Gryphon here, ramblin' on with word silliness and a pastoral scene created in me favorite 3D software, Vue Infinite, by e-on Software. I created this scene as an excuse to use a low polygon model of a Sheep that I created using Pixelogic's, Sculptris Alpha 6, a free 3D modeling tool. The mesh is rather low on detail since I didn't spend a lot of time on it and banged it out in half an hour. I could probably have just painted one in Photoshop but I wanted something that I could easily change the point of view or perspective on quickly. Leave a comment if t makes ye feel better!

Blue Gryphon. Happy plundering to ye!

As we sailed cross th' deepest part of th' ocean a dreadful storm arose. Th' wind drove us over with their furies n' th' skies broke open with fire n' thunder! Then, lo, we beheld th' waters seeth n' writhe with steaming mist n' sulfurous stench, as th' coils of th' Kraken's tentacles rose up from th' churning depths t' grip our rigging! Men cried in horror as th' ill tempered sea beast lashed at our ship n' snatched them from her decks! Those what had th' nerve stood n' battled th' titanic creature, which only served t' augment its rancor. No shot, nor blade, nor harpoon sharp n' keen would stay th' creatures wrath as it splintered wood n' bone! Though we prayed to what gods would hear us, none answered as one by one we were dragged into the deep! Now we be asleep in th' ocean, killed one n' all by Neptune's plaything until time ends n' we rise up once again!

 Blue Gryphon fiddlin' round with his favorite 3D Rendering software, Vue Infinite, from e-on Software. Image created with 3D objects (Kraken, Pirate Ship, Infinite Water Plane) n' rendered in 3D space using custom atmospheric n' light settings. Additional work done in post process using PhotoShop fer frame, image tweaks, n' sig. 

What Pirate would be worth his salt lest he be having some bad habits! This pirate confesses t' enjoyin' a bit of a smoke from his briar pipe now and again! And what good smoke would go wasted without a wee bit of rum!

Pipe smokin' be a satisfyin' way t' pass th' time, I enjoy some blends from me favorite tobacconist, Uhle's Pipe Tobacco. Uhle's Tobacco Company I be currently disposed t' drink "The Kraken Rum". smooth and flavorful, put a beast in yer belly! The Kraken Rum Company

As always, comments from scoundrels, scallywags, and blatherskites be welcome. Keep em clean and friendly else I'll be obliged t' carve them out with me trusty cutlass and toss them into th' abyss!

The first post of a blogging Pirate!

Ahoy mates! This here be me first blogging post as a salty pirate explorin' th' uncharted blog infested waters of th' inter-web without so much as a map, chart, or compass! Daring n' reckless, to say th' least, but I be a Pirate n' feel compelled t' spill me guts about whatever be passin' thru me mind.

Cast yer eyes to these coordinates from time t' time t' see what I may have scrawled here!

Captain Gryphon

May Neptune help us all!
