So many of my friends are reblogging this, I couldn’t decide who to reblob it from! ;_; Professor Internet wins.

Month: December 2012
Some forward progress
So far I’m up to page 3 of The Hues. The rest of the chapter (24 pages total) is all thumbnailed and loosely scripted.
I’ve processed and sent off some sketches for the secret collaboration project.
The Hues website doesn’t look totally like butts now. (Going to save up for a Real Web Designer to make it look cool, but this’ll do for now.)
It still feels like climbing a mountain, but I’m trying to focus on the progress.

There is nothing about this that I don’t like a whole lot. I want all of this. Hair, corset, pasties, the works.
Cupcakes are a lifestyle.

Ray Frenden reviews the too-cheap-to-be-true Monoprice graphics tablets. How do they stack up to industry standard Wacoms?
After spending a week with the 6.25“x10” Monoprice, my Yiynova and Cintiq remain unplugged and I gave my Intuos away to a friend. The Monoprice tracks subtle pressure variances and small movements with less lag and more crisp fidelity than any of the others. It is, put crudely, fucking awesome, in both OSX Lion and Windows 7 x64.
I have one of these, 10×6.5 I bought about two months ago for 48 bucks. It’s a billion times better than my old Wacom Bamboo and works like a fuckin dream.
ATTENTION ALL PENNY-PINCHING ART FRIENDS!!!
ooo reblogging this for potential future purchase
oh
OH MY GOD THIS POST SHOWED UP AT THE PERFECT TIME THANK YOU
I have one of these! They’re wonderful.
For the people who ask me what kind of tablet they should start out with: This looks like a nice affordable option!
Signal boost, and corrected link:

I’m really glad these tablets are so affordable, AND WORK! My Bamboo has held up like iron in 5 years of heavy use, and it’s still going strong, but I’ll probably look at one of the larger-size Monoprice tables when I’m ready to upgrade.

I think I’m getting the hang of hand lettering. The letters on the left are from page 1, and on the right is page 3, which itself is the most dialogue-heavy so far. I was getting into a pretty good groove and the letters on the right more closely resemble my handwriting.

Tea storage – I need to paint this old wooden curio shelf. It’s super old, not my aesthetic. But USEFUL.
This is super pretty! I wish my tea storage looked half as neat.

That skyline looks familiar… hmmm….
This is a big splash page/panel with an inset panel up at the top, but I took the BG into a new file for the painting part. :) I’m really happy with this!
