Cintiq+ New Laptop+ SAI PAINTER= HAPPYOMG GUYS....I AM SOOO EXCITED. I got my new laptop back, and bought a Cintiq...AND AND....
wait for it.....
SAI PAINTER!
I have been trying since like, SAI first came out to get it to work on my Mac.
I LOVED using it back in the day, but sadly, I ended up with a Mac at one point and Photoshop it was (don't get me wrong I love photoshop). Granted I learned to use Photoshop but I missed SAI and it's ability to color and blend things with ease all while keeping that lovely "crisp" edge and rich color.
Now I can do both! I was able to get Sai to work with pressure sensitivity on my mac

So yeah.... expect all the rest of my commissions to be painted in SAI with photoshop for texture, etc.

Freelance stuff will still be done in Photoshop, it's easier to work with transparencies.
WOOO! I'm so excited to get started! Will be home tomorrow evening. So stay tuned! :>

Cookbook progress listFirst a quick note: If like me you're driven insane by the inanity that is More Like This, you can disable it for yourself thanks to `parallellogic:

This journal is to keep track of my progress on the cookbook. I'm not reveal everything in details, but I need to keep track of how many pages it runs. I'm always faced with the dilemma of keeping the price low for the user (meaning less pages) vs. making it a really good reference (more pages, more printing costs). I hope to find a good middle ground. I must say also that I've been working on a parallel booklet focused on spices, but in my efforts to keep it short I ended up having a lot of compact text. So I stopped while I decide how to make it more engaging again.

Just a Notice...Hi everybody!
Just for those of you who are still interested in my doings, I'm giving a heads up. I'll probably be majorly cleaning my gallery (putting stuff into storage) and all that jazz. Also, when I do start uploading again, there are gonna be some changes regarding the series that I haven't addressed on DA yet. Lots of them.

Also, I apologize for my previous post. For those who responded, thank you very much. ;w; It meant a lot. I got a job set for me, starting next week, and I can start to build up from there.

I'm so sorry for my inactivity during 2012. @____@ I'm really not proud of it. I hope I can come back consistently again. I miss you all. ;_;
So what's going on with everybody? :3

Features!Came across two people I would like to feature which deserves so much more attention! Check them out

Adoptables?????So I Have this Critter...
And it's called a shervol. (That's a link, btw). Anyway, they're really cute and junk and I've noticed people have been selling a lot of adoptables lately, so maybe I should too? I CAN DRAW CUTE THINGS TOO, DAMNIT.

Anyway, I MIGHT set up a seperate website for playing around with them. Their basic story is that they live in the forests and jungles of my secondary world, Docerae and the people of the nation Vesondr have taken to domesticating them to show and breed and just generally hoard in all of their cuteness. Here's the writeup:
"The planet of Docerae is comprised of fauna much like that of Earth; mammals, birds, reptiles, and the like making up the majority. However, a separate, smaller family of animal exists; the hexapod. The creatures from this line of evolution feature not four, but six limbs, and share the qualities of both birds an

Use Pinterest to sell prints and commissions.If you are providing a service such as art or craft commissions or selling prints, you can direct more traffic straight to your page or site with very little effort.
You'll need to sign up for an account with Pinterest before you do this, and it's easy to do - http://pinterest.com/ I would reccommend linking either a facebook or twitter account to save yourself some time.
Each deviation on deviantart has a row of sharing options - click the pinterest one:
Once you've clicked it, this page will load (provided that you've made an account):
You'll notice the $5 sign over the image. That's there because I typed $5 in the description. If a user clicks the image, they can quickly trace it back to your page, and hopefully buy a print or message you for a commission service. Make sure you stick the right price in there, and make the description relevant so your image shows up when people search.
The great thing is, it doesn't matter how many t

happy, but not satisfied

Be happy with how far you have come, but not satisfied with where you are at.

In 2008 I thought my work was pretty good, now I cringe at the sight of it. In the future, I hope to have a similar reaction to the work I'm making now.

Thanks! It just takes persistent effort; small steps at a time.

*Mitch-el Nov 12, 2012

Dang. What a difference! I love it when artists compare their old work to their new work. It's encouraging to see how far they've come.

You've come a great way Sir Weasel, the main and best improvement I see is your ability to make an interesting piece (through better composition, light and textures). For example, I want to see what's behind that cliff, and I have a feeling the seagulls helped creating that interest. I've also came back to view that piece a few times, and it wasn't easly removed from my deviantwatch messeges..
I wish I could say the same, but I'm afraid I was stuck in my mediocre self for the past few years. It's the price for 'hobbying' art, and dedicating time to other fields of interest I guess.
