Chuck/Curby | Ceratopsian fancier | On-and-off metalsmith

Hello there to any reading! Welcome to my little space dedicated to my chuckwagoneering.

So where'd the "chuckwagon/chuckwagoneer" thing come from? The name is an offshoot of a Transformers fan character I've had in the works for a while. I love the word chuckwagon and figured it'd be funny to make a character that turned into a food truck based on that. Chuck as a nickname for me seemed to stick, and the rest is easy to guess.

I have had a penchant for building things since when I was young. This led me down the path of piecing together Legos in grade school up to growing a love for model kits years later. Other days, I may be working on anything like 3D prints, metalsmithing projects, or similar kinds of tinkering.

If it wasn't apparent, I adore Metabee. He combines some of the best things: bugs and bots! Among other things, Medabots kickstarted and has stayed with me in my love of robots. I couldn't tell you exactly why I like bots so much though. They're just really neat :].

Otherwise, I don't feel like I have much else to say about myself right now. I'm just someone on the internet after all.

Quick Questions

  • Who's the Triceratops guy?
    Guiledart!

  • What's the deal with Guiledart?
    Cool guy whose design and personality scratch a deep itch in my brain. His figure has a "play dead" feature with dedicated rib-exposing, eye-rolling, and tongue-lolling action! Seriously. Plus my favorite: the tail gun. This last feature is never shown in his respective show, Beast Wars Neo. Likely because they didn't want a bunch of children seeing a guy pull a fleshy techno-organic gun, bringing Videodrome to mind, off his ass. I just know it'd have a meaty *chunk* or *thwuk* when getting pulled. It's gruesome, I love it.

  • Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
    In a slightly different place with a slightly different job and a slightly better car.

  • Is there something I must absolutely see?
    "NOoo WAY!"

  • What software do you use?
    I juggle between Affinity Photo and Krita for image editing. I use VSCodium as my code editor. Ellipsus for taking down the awful ideas which slop out of my scrambled egg brain.

  • Favorite vocal synth producers?
    Ro2noki, Mashima Yulo, Kareki Kashiwagi, and FLAVOR FOLEY at the moment.

  • Your ideal sandwich?
    Grilled cheese on nutty oat bread with two Swiss slices, a beefsteak tomato slice, and mayo. Oh, and mayo is subbed for the spread butter! It toasts more nicely that way.

  • Dream ride?
    A Honda Element or Pontiac Vibe if I'm being practical. A Pontiac Firebird if I'm reaching for the stars a little. Any Lancia rally car if I'm living a pipe dream.

  • Coke or Pepsi?
    Not a fan of either. Root beer for me.

  • Maximal or Predacon?
    As noble as the Maximals are, my heart lies with the cool designs and conniving goobers of the Predacons.

  • Do I know you from somewhere?
    Perhaps :]

  • Are you an existential kind of person?
    Don't get me started...
