2010 review

I know it’s sort of early to do one of those “year in review” type posts but with Christmas around the corner, who has time for blogging? So…this year art wise, somewhat prolific, but I can thank all the vague, secret art work I’ve been drawing for that! Hopefully in the coming year I’ll be able to draw more original stuff and keep the site updated more regularly. Just a matter of putting one’s mind to it I guess. To any of the artists on the big, wide internets, do you have any special plans for the year? Do you want to start a webcomic or perhaps launch an online art portfolio? Or perhaps you want to try selling your work online or at conventions? Whatever your plan is, I’d love to hear! Lastly, I’ve learned yesterday that the pentool is your friend!

A little artist versus WMM!

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”.

Snow daaaaay!

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!

Paint, paint…PAINT!

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.
