Deviation Actions
Ah traditional, I always avoid it like the plague because I can make faster adjustments and get colors without any mess on digital ect. But there's been a problem just being strictly digital for years now, I have the beginners lines problem. Not drawing enough with my elbow/shoulder, and above all drawing with sketchy scratchy lines. Ultimately everything takes longer to do on cleanup because I don't have the control or confidence to make clean lines, straight or curved.
So begins my quest to finally fix this, about time.
I'm going to be doing ink-only in my sketchbook for a while. I used to do pen drawings many years ago before I got a tablet, often times it would be a better result because it forces me to decide on what I want to draw so digital has become too much of an easy-way-out. This time however I'm going to set another hurdle to clear. Even when I used to do ink drawings it would be very sketchy or scratchy, this time I'm going to make a conscious effort to do complete ones not just hatched together. By giving myself this restriction that I can't be as sketchy, in the end it should pan out to be better drawing technique.
I'm still likely to do painting by night, so my DA wont be completely dead. By splitting traditional by day and digital by night maybe it'll make me more focused on each. That's the goal anyways.

Incoming Backlog! and making simple CS6 plugins
For a while I thought about leaving sketches and unfinished work off my DA but decided that I would instead post a bunch of it anyways. People can enjoy the old sketches for what they are, and see my stuff in super rough state, but also by posting these publicly means I can't just hide it. I may actually finish some (especially if people want to see a sketch taken to finish. just speak up! It might give me enough of a motivational kick.
Unrelated to art I've spent a weekend trialing out some photoshop plugins I made.
It's clear to many artists that Adobe just doesn't give a damn about us, and they just put all their focus into making the gr
Shaking off an illness
I don't often get sick but when I do, it's an ordeal.
My grandfather died about a month ago and I've been sick ever since. A whole lot of the family got sick from the same sort of thing with all the exchanging hands and standing around in the chilly air. I honestly think we got it from one of the people hosting the funeral but that's all unimportant now. My uncle got antibiotics for bronchitis but I've been through the ringer with just trying to get over it. The worst part about it is how it just never seems to go away fully, when there's days I feel like it's passed it just sticks around even longer. What started as soreness and a cloudy he
Solving Adobe's dumb decisions with Undo.
Hey Photoshop users out there!
This issue became so annoying that I decided to force a fix... using the power of the internet!
Remember the atrocious ? Well you can get out of this Hell too!
WHY ADOBE, WHY??
Whenever you use step-backward or undo once, if you changed layers as well then it will go back on editing the layer before.
I've known about this little headache for quite a while, as I'm sure that everyone who uses Photoshop would run into it. For the most part I was tolerant of it but that quickly changed into table-flipping when working on a new piece. For some unknown reason that no one can answer this terrible Undo function wa
