Party & vacation time
As I mentioned before it’s holiday time for some of the people at Databox and this weekend it’s also “Midsummer eve”, a holiday/weekend where you celebrate summer with eating and drinking and dancing around a giant XXXX.
It usual rains on Midsummer eve and this year looks like no exeption. Anyway I assume that there will be not so much work done on PoH the next 3-5 days.
The calm before the shitstorm
Approximately two a clock (2 pm), I arrived at our office. I was happy to see that the garbage had been carried out and that my colleges weren’t there. It was calm and quiet, no one making bad jokes or laughing out loud, showing video clips of dancing bears or fat chicks eating cat food. No one demanding anything or telling me how “emo” I am. Ah, good times. Of course this didn’t last very long and things went back to “normal”.
I thought that a concept for Llaknels knives would a good thing to start off with. Llaknel supposed to look and fight like an assassin or rouge if you like. At first I made two quite short knives with regular handles but later I changed them into something that you hold more like iron knucklers. I also got some feedback from Tobias and Kristoffer and they suggested that I added some sort of stabilizer. Sometimes, on very rare occasions, they actually have something useful to say.
