Apparently my hometown(Toronto) is called “hog town” because we used to process a lot of piggies back in the day. Perhaps this is why there are 2423423453453453 hotdog stands down town XD?

Found this nice plugin that allows you to play mp3 files in blog posts after reading an art blog post. So not wanting to be possibly the only blog out there that doesn’t embed music into posts, I went ahead and installed the audio player. It’s a welcome change to how things are usually done. Do you find listening to music helps when drawing or doing specific hobbies? In case you’re wondering the name of the song is Cyber Dance(a remix version) and it’s from the Disgaea2 Arranged Soundtrack.

In other news school is done and now I can finally get back into sketching, cging and revamping the look of tranquil solace!

Starting inking another disgaea chibi today after doing a little cleaning around the house, writing up a lab report and customizing the look of this blog. Can’t believe the number of features built into this theme that I’ve only learned about after…a good 6 months of using it? Well it’s better late than never as they say! At least things are nice and organized now! Now that I’ve gotten the hang of using Paint Tool Sai, let’s see how long this line art will take.

Finally the lineart is finished! After having Corel Painter X crash on me and having to start over with Paint Tool Sai it’s finally complete. After working with Sai for inking this sketch I can say the program is pretty comparable to Painter and not as finicky when it comes to crashing, which is a very good thing.
