Spent the better part of yesterday afternoon fighting with Windows Movie Maker. Why you ask? Well the program was temporarily possessed, any time I tried adding music to the video that I’ve posted, the music would cut off after a few seconds when viewed in Windows Media Player or the video footage would slow to a crawl despite adding the “Seed up, double” effect. This lead to a lot of cursing and potential table flipping, but it managed to be finished. Should really use my youtube more often for these quick process videos. Well back to work, but before I close this entry, let me plug my twitter and facebook pages for daily art updates, especially ones related to my little “project”.

So Toronto got it’s first dusting of snow on Sunday and it’s been snowing on and off since then. Nothing serious like a snowstorm, but people will complain about it none the less, either it’s too much or it’s arrived too early. As for this blog author, I like it!

The town houses around here look so pretty with snow covered rooftops!

A little preview of some artwork from my little to do list. 4 images down, 7 more to go! Should sketch something new tomorrow and get right on it. This would be the most fanart produced in a loooong time, sort of a break from original character artwork, it’s nice.

After reading through a thread on the iro wiki forums, started playing around with brush settings in Corel Painter X. Tempted to give the program another chance with inking or maybe even try colouring something…and hope it doesn’t crash on me again.

Did some more tinkering with website revamp and managed to finish off the gallery page. Ended up condensing four of the subsections into one, making things nice and clean. All that’s left is to finish the front page and working on the pages that contain walls of text information about the site and it’s web mistress(me). You never really think about how much is involved in developing and maintaining a site until you try it yourself. Eyeopening.
