Ottawa ended up getting dumped with 15-20 cm of snow throughout Thursday and Friday. A pair of Shinkis decided to take a quick moment to mess around in the snow before they got overwhelmed by it.<\/p>\n

(All images taken with a Lumix GF1 – Pancake lens and edited using GIMP and Photoscape.)<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Quite messy and tons of snow to “play” around with. Snowplows were working overtime while people were shoveling, using snow-blowers, and etc. Just like any Canadian winter really. One person even ended up losing a tire on their snow-blower from all the snow, damn.<\/p>\n

As for my Shinkis? They struggled to stand, walk, or even interact with their environment. Liberty kept losing her arm and two parts containers exploded. Not that bad though.<\/p>\n

With the lack of many images I decided to poke around Gimp & Photoscape to add various kinds of “effects” onto them. Some are good while others are probably too strong on such. I discovered some people’s “tricks” in gimp and it takes 10 seconds, not 20 minutes as “they” claimed :P. Think I’ll give in and use these effects in the future now.<\/p>\n

(Link – MySite<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Note that both Renge and Liberty are roughly 15 cm tall. The path that Liberty (I did with my snow boots) is just a bit more than that. I’d say the snow is about 20-25 cm?<\/p>\n

– Renge: “OI!~ I own that!”<\/em>

If Shinkis actually were real and went stray in Canada they wouldn’t survive long during the winter period. They would need some third-party “Cradle” (charging pad) or designed to be winter-proofed.<\/p>\n

They could probably survive, in theory, but they would have to have a very complex AI system and winter-proofed electronics.<\/p>\n

– Renge: “Humu….As predicted. More solid water leaves – snow – decended upon Ottawa. Taller than I; Lost I shall be.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

Two parts containers “exploded” on me when I was about to head back in. *sighs*. Time to pick up all the parts and make sure I didn’t loose anything. I double, triple, and quadruple-checked the pathway. I believe I got everything.<\/p>\n

Damages? Just a tiny crack here and a dent there on the parts container. Nothing bad. I didn’t store the containers in the “box” I had and got careless so my bad.<\/p>\n

(Link – MySite<\/a>) – Liberty’s and Sharatang parts. Damn.<\/em><\/p>\n

Decided to make a snow bunny after seeing the following and from seeing it constantly in Anime. Not a bad idea now that she mentioned it –

After looking at this article I gained a few more “ideas” that I wanted to slip in an edit instead of making a new article. I could of waited, but I wasn’t thinking that I would need to go out again to take these few shots.<\/p>\n

Now that is what I should be doing! Basically what Renge and Liberty are doing. Either this, or snowboarding down a nice hill or mountain like the good old kiddy days haha!<\/p>\n

Azunyan wanted a ride but she couldn’t fit….Poor gal.<\/p>\n

And the last image of a lost Azunyan, poor Azunyan. Took this image as a test because my camera was acting weird, probably beginning to freeze in -30*C weather.<\/p>\n

And with that, Shinki’s had their fun, and as did I with taking images of them. Crazy snow wanting to raid every nook and cranny ha. Even the Pokeball with Renge in it.<\/p>\n

Anyways, stay warm and hope you weren’t covered in massive piles of snow. Pst – Alaska got 18feet of snow<\/a>.<\/p>\n
