BlackTezcas' 5th Trial: An Artsy, Geeky Amazon Takes A Walk on the Dark Side

[BlackTezca]

Welp, time for another challenge isn't it?  Well then...

 

So, I've been thinking.  We all try to be good don't we? Do our best?  Keep on trucking?  Have good karma.  All that jazz?  Isn't just so stressful?  Being uptight, helping little old cross the street and only to get hit over the head with cane?  Realizing that the asshole next door seems to have all the fun even though they're kinda a prick?

 

Why don't we just let loose?  Be the life of the party?  Take the reigns, be in control, teach someone a real lesson?  Why not bring a little bit of chaos into this place?

 

Why don't we all take a walk on...the dark side...?

 

I'm BlackTezca, you all may remember me from such world destroying schemes like my villainous monologue introductory From Lurker to (Newb) Rebel!, the ongoing crime spree known as BlackTezca's Daily Battle Towards Feline Greatness, and my latest and possible greatest plot BlackTezcas' 4th Trial: An Artsy, Geeky Amazon Must Train and Smell the Roses.  I'm here to conquer the universe and party on with my evil, vile, and psychotic monk folks!

 

 

And I have come with a Challenge; A Challenge to celebrate those who break the rules, or make their own rules to hell with what those do gooders think!  To the big dreamers, the big schemers, to those who won't let things like morals and the law get them down.  Just like I won't let ANYONE, ANY HERO, get in the way of my main quest...

 

My Main Quest is to be as POWERFUL and BATTLE READY as Wonder Woman

(Ignoring the fact that she does has...you know...a Amazonian code and all that...)

 

In order to destroy all my enemies and make all of the weaklings bow before their rightful diety, one needs a plan.  A cunning and truly immoral plan.  A plan to tap into all of the vices in order to fully get in touch with the evil inside of me.  A Plan to get...

 

...I don't have such a plan, nor is my goal a mere million dollars.  But I do have villains who have come before me.  Who have inspired me!  These villains who are the pillars of this challenge!!  ROLLCALL!!!!

 

Obito Uchiha: "But a world of just victors, peace and love... such a world can be created too."

Details: Obito wishes to create world without suffering.  A world filled without pain.  And last challenge my body was in a lot of pain.  Mostly because I don't get flexible and don't stretch after beatdowns like Kickboxing.  So its' time for me to stretch!  I need to stretch at least 5 minutes after I do kickboxing, which is about 2 to 3 times a week.  Every workout needs to end with a way to get rid of pain.

Contingencies:  No Contigencies.  Stretching needs to be after every workout, including kickboxing, so after I do a kickboxing session at Easton, I'll be doing stretches that same night!

Tracking: I'll be tracking the stretching sessions using MyFitnessPal ( username BlackTezca ) with the workout listed as "yoga" or "pilates" and this lovely thread will be updated as well.

Grading:

A for extra stretching session for at least 5 minutes three times a week  ( 2 Dex 1 Con )

B for extra stretching for at least 5 minutes twice a week ( 2 Dex  )

C for extra stretching for at least 5 minutes once a week ( 1 Dex )

F for all else

 

 

Ursula: "Now I am the ruler of all the ocean! The waves obey my every whim!"

Details: Though I'm not planning on ruling the ocean, I do need to learn ULTIMATE CONTROL...over my body.  Thus my goal for this quest is do a handstand.  For this, I will be doing the 28 Day Hand Stand Challenge.  I hope to progress and try to get 5 minutes a day of hand stand practice, so that eventually I will be able to something I have NEVER done.

Contingencies: Now we have 42 days of challenge funness and...I'm a cheater so I am NOT practicing a handstand every day per say.  I need to have solid rest days too and a handstand and getting towards it takes a lot of work.  My hope to stretch out the 28 days over this 6 week period which should definitely allow for rest days.  Also, it allows for visualizing a good handstand pose, so more flexibility there.

Tracking: I'll be tracking the handstand practice using MyFitnessPal ( username BlackTezca ) and the workout code 'handstand practice'.  Of course I shall track on this thread too!

Grading:

A for 25 to 28 days of handstand practice   ( 3 Str 2 Sta )

B for 22 to 24 days of handstand practice ( 2 Str 1 Sta )

C for 19 to 21 days of handstand ( 1 Str )

F for all else

 

 

Shishio Makoto: "In this world, the weak are the sustenance of the strong. The strong live, the weak die."

Details: UGH!!!  I hate cooking; I hate making my own food.  I have a husband who likes making food, but as this is his living, he gets a bit burn out and he's not a fan of baking.  So I have decided to try my hand at some baked goods and some smoothies.  I'm pretty solid on making smoothies (mmmm delicious breakfast), but not generally on baked goods.  So I need to find some recipes and get to some baking during the week or weekend!

Contingencies: My complete and utter hatred?  Just kidding (not really).  Not really contingencies other than making the time for it and getting the ingredients I need.  I'm aiming for healthy recipes

Tracking: I'll be tracking what I make (and eat) via  MyFitnessPal ( username BlackTezca ) and also this thread!  MyFitnessPal will be updated with recipes too since those can save the recipe.  Which is an awesome too.  Maybe I'll take some food pics?

Not sure!  We'll see!

Grading:

A for 5 to 6 smoothies and 4 to 6 baked goods  ( 1 Con 1 Cha)

B for 3 to 4 smoothies and 2 to 3 baked goods ( 1 Con )

F for all else

 

 

The Joker: "He turns to me, and he says, "Why so serious?"  He comes at me with the knife. "Why so serious?!"  He sticks the blade in my mouth—"Let's put a smile on that face!"  And... Why so serious?"

Details: I need to relax.  I need to go with the flow and fun.  I need to play some videogames.

Yes...I'm doing a video game side quest.  Really silly I know, but I have been doing a lot of just plain old staring at my computer at home.  Sure I watch anime, but after Fate Stay Night, I really won't have anything to binge on.  So I need to play some video games.  I'm only aiming for an hour  90 minutes a week of some gaming.  That's it.

Contingencies: Well time is a factor isn't it?  When it comes to the other things on this list, gaming is pretty much on the bottom of priorities.  However, I'm hoping that having an hour only for this challenge to do some gaming, I'll have some flexibility.  If I find it to easy I may up the ante later.  We'll see.

 

...Realized another factor...my desktop is dead.  Hmph.  That's an issue.

Tracking:  I'll be tracking using this thread.  Expect some rants or thoughts along the game I'm playing, how I feel about it, if I'll continue it, etc.

Grading:

A for an 7.5 to 9 hours of gaming this challenge ( 2 Cha )

B for 4.5 to 6 hours of gaming this challenge ( 1 Cha )

F for all else

 

 

Sailor Galaxia: "I will create a new galaxy... ...at the place where destiny begins"

Details: MY ART QUEST!!!  It's time to draw!  This time I am aiming for the Seven Sins project that has dug  into my brain like a parasite and just won't go!  Though, of course, I aim for full images, I am gonna allow for sketches, WIP, etc to count.  I have to or else there is no way I can complete this side quest.  I am planning on doing the full set, but for sanity sakes, I am aiming for 5 (like usual) to make an A.  This why I don't beat myself up for than usual.

Contingencies:  Welp, hoping I don't get burnt out really!  This is a larger project for my art quests than others I have done, even if the grading is the same.  I also tend to take a long time or get stuck in a rut, which is unfortunate.  My hope is to get some of the harder sins done first (Greed, being old, Gluttony being a new body type for me, Envy being a brat, etc) and then the other sins will come a bit easier (Wrath being the easiest, Sloth next easy, Lust being sexy easy, and then Pride being the middle).  Let's hope it works out!

Tracking: I have an art Tumblr and I also have a DeviantArt (WATCH ME FOR ACCOUNTABILITY).  I'll use those for tracking and on a weekly basis...like a weekly update or something, I'll post art on this thread.

Grading:

A for 5 sins drawn (sketch, full image, WIP) ( 2 Wis 1 Cha )

B for 4 sins drawn (sketch, full image, WIP) ( 2 Wis )

C for 3 sins drawn (sketch, full image, WIP) ( 1 Wis )

F for all else

 

Another mega evil five quest challenge!  I feel like soon a four quest challenge maybe in the future.  But not now! MUAHAHA!  EVIL FIVE CHALLNGES!

 

 

Now let's see some starting measurements!  Sure this may all change by July 27th but who cares about the rules?!  I know I DON'T!!!

 

 

Starting Measurements:
Date: 07/18/2015 @ 8 am
Weight: 126.4
***Body Fat***: 23%
Waist: 23.5
Waist @ Navel: 24.5
Hips: 35
Neck: 12
Chest: 32
Left Bicep: 10
Right Thigh: 16.5
Wrist: 5.5
Forearm: 8.5

 

What's interesting is that for the most part, this challenge doesn't LOOK as a bad as the last one.  Physically it should be a lighter, in fact I'm aiming for less soreness and pain here!  The handstand will be tough and I'm not looking forward to the baking (even though I love baked goods), but overall it's not an delivish challenge...

 

Well...until you get to the art one and it stars get to get pretty evil.  That will be tough but I think I should be able to meet the parameters of this challenge and then some.  It's just a matter of figuring out the kinda of character portrait I want to do (full body, torso, bust, neutral pose, action like pose, masks, nor mask etc).  That, with my normal day routine should make things tough.  But you know what...

 

 

Let's conquer the world my fellow villains.

Yesssssss yessss!!!  My evil plan to destroy all smartphone devices via gif overload is working...

 

I am planning on making cookies!  Well cookie scones!  Here is recipe I stole:

Cleaning Eating Cookie Scones.

 

They looks so yummy and it has been a while since I had a scone, so this will probably a good first one.  I'm also looking ways on making more protein style treats too.

Welcome to my...EMPIRE!

 

My army grows strong...

[RisenPhoenix]

Man, nice challenge.  And I was gonna be all like "Who uses villains for challenge themes?" and then.... kinda realized I had a villain for my challenge theme.

 

 

Very nice though, lots of things you're trying to accomplish.  As for the cooking/baking thing, I always like using epicurious to grab recipe ideas.  Or, you know, just google.  It's amazing how many people have already thought up things like maple bacon brownies or Sweet potato-kale-onion fritatas.
