TrepidationThe day went by so slowly it appeared to stop every now and again. I woke up much earlier than I was accustomed to, and had been forced to clean my flat several times before I could even think of leaving for work. It was the first time I could ever remember beating Mr. Defoe to the shop. I'd waited for fifteen minutes and when he'd finally arrived, it took a surprising amount of effort not to bounce impatiently.

I never did things like that. It was detrimental to my health.

At any rate, the hours had crawled by interminably, giving me far too much time to reflect on why I was so excited. Anxious, now that was mindlessly easy to explain

Vesi Vanhin Voitehista 4A few steps away from the apartment, Shoe brushed past Taivuttaa, inadvertently bumping his wrist.  Taivuttaa swore rather more evocatively than he would ever mean to, then clapped his pain-free hand over his mouth.  A muffled apology didn't quite beat it there.

Shoe gave him a curious look, then smacked himself on the forehead.  "For the love of—you're injured!  Why didn't you say something?"

Thoroughly embarrassed, Taivuttaaa let his hand drop to his side.  "I didn't want to be a bother..."

"You never could be," Shoe said, apparently quite sincere.  "Honestly... when Salugi

Time Wasted"Fannenpora is what Ba Ki was built on," he blurted, without intending to speak. Now that he had, it seemed he should continue, after all, she was watching him expectantly, and to back out would be cowardly. More than that, it would make him look like an idiot. "I'm the fifth generation, technically, but no one is really born there. Even new babies are said to be spirits that had no other place to go." Ba Ki's name literally meant 'no place', or 'not a place'. None of its residence had illusions, and none of them could ever truly forget why they belonged there.

But he wouldn't tell her that. She seemed happier now that they were topsi

Contra-Bandy ch14The answer burbled out of me, clumsy and heavily accented. "Mr. Bengal's first week curriculum. English lit 2010, my first year." It hadn't been one of the really remarkable points in my life, and the book I was holding now had not made a big impression on me. "It's about a woman who risks her life to protect her children from her ex-husband." Not the page-turner one would expect, and I'd always thought the book had been intended as a collection of examples of what not to do, in many ways. When I'd thought about it at all.

Mari looked at the book as though I'd just told it contained a bomb. "I thought that was a year."

"Yeah, but it'

Not What I ThoughtAfter Giovanni left, the day became rather boring. Therefore, it only made sense that the next two days were equally intolerable, even with the holiday sale. That had ended yesterday, and it hadn't been as fun as I'd hoped. I was shocked at myself, and did my best to ignore it, but there it was all the same.

The third day, I was composing a song with only the repetitive use of the word 'dull' in place of lyrics and suspiciously similar to the melody of a newscast theme when the door swung open. Apparently "I'll see you tomorrow" meant "I'll drop in on you once you've begun to give up the prospect o

OR IS IT?? No scans, just Painter.

100 Themes Challenge, #26 "Tears"

This is the moe (human form) of my new iPod _{(because Ethan needed the other one and several other circumstances I refuse to discuss)} His name is Ark. Worlds are dying all around him, but he's a kid with unlimited powers. So he smiles.

Okay, I'm not upgrading to the new version of Painter. No effing way. It crashed on the second day I'm using it right after I took that screenshot, and now it won't open.

This serves to directly contrast the kinds of pen lines I get with X and the ones I get with IX. They just get too darn thick in X, and that makes details just bleed together into nonexistence.

Uhm...which version of Painter wert thou employing? Now I'm curious, because I may have to upgrade my art program....=.

~Kid-Apocalypse Aug 24, 2007

The really dark lines, mainly his head, hair, and....left arm and hand were all in Painter X, nothing special about them, though. The rest was Painter 9, which is what I usually use. To get the notebook paper look, I used the rectangle shape tool and some old-fashioned elbow grease.

*Hagge Aug 25, 2007 Professional General Artist

Oi. Painter X was the one I thinking of employing myself. Hm. I should look into that more....

~Kid-Apocalypse Aug 25, 2007

I was only able to test the pen, which is the tool I personally use the most. The things that bothered me the most were the fact that the brushes were no longer in A-Z order (someone created a workspace fix for that later) and the fact that it crashed very soon after I started using the demo. Other than that, it had looked so promising....

Painter 9 I recommend whole-heartedly, though. Along with elbow grease.

*Hagge Aug 26, 2007 Professional General Artist

I wonder if it's because it was just a demo...hm...I'm going to be trying out a new program here shortly; Art Rage 2. It's a pretty simplified program according to the looks of it, but it appears to have some of the applications of Adobe Photoshop. It allows for layers...

~Kid-Apocalypse Aug 26, 2007

From what I remember of the last time I demo'd a version of Painter, it was the same as the full program, just with a time limit, but maybe. I've used Art Rage 2 before, I think... Is it any good? (i dun remember)

*Hagge Aug 26, 2007 Professional General Artist

Well, I haven't gotten the full program yet, but there are some applications I haven't seen before on any other art program...I'll let you know when I recieve it.

~Kid-Apocalypse Aug 27, 2007

Great! I think I remember being sad that the glitter things weren't in the demo version.

is that his tongue or a fang there? Anyway, he's cute. I think I want that shirt...

~Kid-Apocalypse Aug 14, 2007

I think it's a fang. Hee, I love his shirt. It's actually supposed to be black, but I felt like using a red crayon. In fact, I may have to get this back out and redraw his outfit to match his "story" one.
