Well for the first time ever in my life, I’ve been going through a bit of an artblock. The weird thing about it is that I have ideas but I haven’t found any that were satisfying enough to draw. Luckily yesterday I made myself a little inspirational wallpaper and as soon as I finished with the wallpaper, ideas started to flow.

Colouring old wip’s sure helps. Can you tell how much I like colouring a character’s eyes…I sure do. Not sure if I’ll put this in the junk section or not, it is sort of old…and the anatomy is atrocious…but I do need more original art. Could always mention that it’s old…hmmm.

Also as a result of new inspiration, I have a new idea for a website layout, so I better get sketching. And one last thing, if you noticed that this blog’s guestbook was broken for a little while, it’s finally fixed and working again, so if you want to leave a little message YOU CAN NOW!

That is all!

Looking at the site and a few of my favourite art sites gave me the inspiration to tweak Tranquil-Solace’s layout a little bit in photoshop…

I really wanted to have a separate section for my latest gallery additions and works in progress(wip’s).

And this wide layout would be used for all the other pages, excluding the main page.

I’ve even went so far as to doodle out my layout ideas. Hopefully I’ll have this finished, sliced and ready for dreamweaver soon.

I just love how you’re able to fix and “improve” on little mistakes with photoshop. Thinking back to the days of pens that leaked ink, crappy coloured pencils, I just wished that I either had discovered the world of photoshop and cging earlier or that I had more money to buy better art supplies. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to really finish colouring this!

Slowly getting back into cg after taking a little self-imposed break, feels good man!
