The girliest site on the internets!

Still diligently working on revamping the site(revel in the girly colour scheme!), it’s amazing how much work is involved in getting things to look just how you envisioned graphically, let alone making sure that the coding is correct. Imagine, you have a set of transparent gif banners that photoshop claims are completely transparent only to add them to a test page and have an ugly, horribly pixelated, white outline around them. Not much fun, so after a couple of tries, along with looking through youtube tutorials, that was rectified. Transparent gif matting…it’s your friend. Guess it’s all one big learning experience, once the gallery page is up and running, it’s just a matter of doing some typing and done! How some people can have the patient to arrange hundreds of pieces of artwork, over a span of 5 or more years…is just amazing. Thank goodness for junk folders!

Happy to see the facebook getting more likes, been trying to change the url of the page to something easier, apprently it needs at least 25 fans in order to change things. So here’s the plan, as soon as 25 or more people like the page, however that happens, I’ll have a little draw for a free wallpaper or some kind of gift art. People like free stuff and I like making stuff for people, works out nicely. So tell your friends to like THIS page and free stuff will be drawn!

Fan page anyone?

Been working on my mock layout in Dreamweaver and in Photoshop and learned of the wonderful world of tables, definitely a lot easier than the weird way everything was set up before. Div tables and simple backgrounds are your friends people! As part of the whole site revamp plan, guess who made a fan page! Be sure to take a look or possibly like it! Now back to html coding.

Of vectors and videos!

Of tablets and halloween!

Recently, I treated myself to a new intuos4 [large] sized tablet as mentioned before! And in the month that I’ve owned it, I can say, I absolutely LOVE it! It has definitely made inking and colouring that much easier, I can understand why a lot of digital artists prefer the intuos3’s and 4’s for their sketching and inking, mind you, wacom’s graphire3 served me well and the bamboo fun was great too, but maybe not really cut out for inking or drawing? Either way, I’m definitely sticking with the Intuos4 until the magical day that I could afford a cintiq…one day…
