I had moved onto detailing the marshland and had started on producing on producing the rivers. Then I found the forests clearcut, marshes dredged and rivers dried to oblivion. While I am redoing the work, it is incredibly frustrating. Gotta say though that even what I had achieved up to that point was awesome.

Now I just need to prepare some more art and write up a storm. Busy days.

The problem is that I am having a heck of a time forcing myself to do this. I usually manage to bring the necessary tools with me when I go out, but I seem to subconsciously avoid doing the relatively simple practice. I suspect it is due to the fact that, well, I have gained most of my skill in a surprisingly little amount of effort and I know that this training would require more sweat equity. It's probably also the fact that I have high standards for myself and each little sketch would bug me when I looked at their flaws.

Anyone have motivation in a can? I could also do with subconscious suppressants.

It is a pleasure to have such shiny tools and I might produce some simple pieces in the near future.

Feh, I will try to finish up within the next couple day.

I spent all evening actually working on the background of this piece, largely due to the detail. It ought to make the lighting easier at the very least and I might wind up recycling it in the future. Gave me a chance to play with the textures and a few other features I hadn't touched to date.

Oh, does anyone know how to generate the artistic variety of fractals? All of the ones which I have seen are akin to tendrils/filaments yet I can only find ways of producing mandelbrot variants on my own. Any good resources?

Ugh. It will require more tinkering for even a poor product. Anyone know if DeviantArt permits uploading animated GIF's?

I promise to return and possibly post something significant. Until then, I leave this as a placeholder comment.

I hope to get this submitted tomorrow. *looks at clock* Correction, I mean that I want to submit it today. Since it is 1 am, I do believe I shall crash.

At least I am being mildly productive during my current point in my life. I am unemployed, waiting for a bit of testing before I can get a full time job. I am trying to write and illustrate an RPG of my own making, so I have a solid reason to be doing art. I just need to get to it and try to practice the technical skills.

If I had more skill, I might be driven into one specific area of concentration rather then simply dabbling. Pity.

So I make a companion cube, exactly in the middle, with an orange portal on one monitor and a blue portal on the other. My monitors are slightly seperated and there is a bit of a black bar of the edge, so there is that natural break in the edge so it works well.

Fear the geek, for he knows gimp-fu!

Unfortunately, there is a need for me to run. I have work and have to travel through a snow-storm to get there. Ugg.

It seems illogical, but i don't wish to acquire any brushes which demand credit on their use. It's not that i don't respect the work or think they deserve it. It is simply that i will use a large variety of brushes and don't want to be distracted from the art-making simply for the purpose of recording which specific brushes i am using. I give credit for stock in general, but i also release most of my work under a derivatives-permitted creative commons license and accordingly would feel worse about the credit. If i make a piece with a proprietary brush, then those making derivative works (if they ever occurred) would be obliged to keep the credits and things would just be messy.

Instead, i have collected those free brushes found on DA without restrictions. If you want to find any of my brushes used or find some of the great credit-needed brushes you could do well by simply browsing for "gimp brushes".

Back to schooling.

I have a simple DA related question though. How do i provide the image-link for other users on DA? For instance, if i want to refer to Oni-Neko, how can i make the little avatar show up as a link to her journal?

I also have another image in mind which might be easier. My pc's in my game recently erected a great wall in the lands of the dead around the city. In that land, it appears that the obelisk towers are about 20-30 feet tall and seem to take on the appearance of crows. The ritual making the wall killed 13 of them, so the wall appears to be made of them (with the towers being the bodies and the walls made of feather-like stone.) I really must sketch that out and/or paint it as it is a lovely image.

A most wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Bad news: Physics labs take precedence over art.

The idea? Based on the image from. [link]
Halos are mis-remembering of the armor worn by the celestials. A metal plate behind the head which works like a flag on some of the old japanese armor types in addition to protecting from being stuck in the back of the head while permitting full mobility. That plus the adaptations to allow for armor on winged beings.

It will be up here sometime, though i suspect in scraps.
