                <description><![CDATA[ It's a promo site where you get points for prizes. Hooray for marketing! An online friend asked me to join and I didn't think much of it but after looking at the stuff they gave away, I thought, meh why not? It's in beta so invite only. If you want an invite, just PM me. It reminds me of the video game promo sites that used to be so abundant like SlimeKnights, Hanger G3, Konami Stars...etc. I got a lot of free grub from there so more free grub for things I like is great! The new prizes are all fashion stuff though...<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> which I have no clue about xD. I hope they get in more cute novelty flashdrives!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am very sad. Recently the company that makes openCanvas will no longer be translating their software into English. This makes me very sad. Even though I can't draw very well, I had a great time using their software and was looking forward to their next versions.<br /><br />I'm still going to keep up my help forums for people who need help in oC (usually oC 1) and I will still be adding tones to this account when I can.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hee hee, you thought I was no longer adding any new tones didn't you? Can't say I blame you since it has been a while. Stuff always gets in the way. Anyways, enjoy the new tones I am uploading over the next few days. If you don't have openCanvas, you can still use the image to make your own tones for whatever program you are using. Just click on the image instead of "Download" and save it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The next convention I will be going to is FanExpo which is hosted by a company called Hobbystar during late August. I don't care much for the company as most of the people that work for it are kind of mean and rude but they do know how to throw a big convention with big name guests (even though they make you pay with blood). I'll be buying more art supplies from a vendor there (if they buy a vendor's space) and I was wondering what kind of tones people like. To be honest, I don't use software for art very much. I use old fashioned mediums like Copic, Neopiko markers, paint etc. not only because there is more of a feel, but it keeps me away from the computer (which I spend too much time on for school, work and procrastination). It costs more sure, but it makes me more serious and also, I don't get bugged by people asking how to pirate programs when I say I don't use them. Don't get me wrong, computer art is great (saves on scanning tweaks and stuff) and I do doodle on the computer from time to time (heck I drew an awesome Sailor Moon pic on Windows 3.11 paint with a mouse) but right now it's not my cup of juice. This is like how I love film photography over digital. Though it's very sad people don't know how to take a centered shot with a film camera. <br /><br />Anyways Canada Day is coming up and I hope to be able to buy up a butt load of giant sparklers and fireworks! Celebrate with giant BOOM!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow, it was almost a year since I submitted my last tones for oC. Buying tones is expensive X_X 4 bucks a sheet!<br />
<br />
Here are four new tones from a Korean screentone company I picked up when I went to a convention.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to think positive for the most part. I don't need shrink bills eating away at money I can use for something else XD. Tell me if you like the tones and if you know other oC users, tell them about these tones too!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A lot of bad/sad stuff has happened to my family and I recently and I've been spending most of my time trying to keep it from derailing me (especially in school but probably unsalvagable).<br />
<br />
Anyways if you haven't already, the new oC update is out and it's free for anyone who has oC 4. This update also makes my making oC tones redundant since it's easy to make tone in that program. Oh well. So if you haven't already, upgrade! It's great!<br />
<br />
also, if you are looking for an oC forum/club to hang out in, get help, show off some artwork for extra traffic hits check out the forum I set up here: <a href="http://opencanvas.informe.com">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't know about you but I think it is frustrating browsing through the oC club forum here. It's just a long dA megathread (and no matter how many times I set it to show newest post first, it doesn't). Also the oC club seems to have gone inactive (20 weeks???!!!). Looking at the comments, people want to join the club but no one is updating the club list nor checking the comments except users like you and me. Not a good way to welcome new oC users or potential users huh?<br />
<br />
I have been and will be sending notes to everyone listed in the oC club about the new forum I have set up. It will be way easier to navigate and post your questions and actually link and find info than the defunct dA account.  I hope the club moderators at least reply to my message so we can actually have a functioning club and community (that doesn't take much mod work to make it easier for all of us). <br />
<br />
You may have recieved this note from me:<br />
<br />
Hello there fellow oC user!<br />
<br />
I have set up a proper forum for oC users to help each other out since it seems the oC clubs on dA have fallen inactive and the mods have not replied to anyone asking about oC for quite some time. Also it will be easier to navigate than using a giant dA thread.<br />
If you are an expert, I would also welcome any assistance you can provide in helping other oC users!<br />
<br />
Thank you for your time!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://opencanvas.informe.com/index.php">[link]</a><br />
<br />
So if you are an oC user, please help me make an easy to work with oC community that doesn't depend so much on the mods. Please spread the word and join up.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ You've probably heard by now that the best selling RPG series in Japan is now officially being developed for DS instead of PS2 or PS3.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.slimeknights.com/slimeknights/link.html?i=tnJHO2">click here for official site to view screenshots and movie of the game</a><br />
<br />
to add humour to this, a pal of mine made a funny image with a laughing miyamoto and someeone else high up in nintendo holding a DS. the caption read "grudge f*cking: because winning isnt enough" in response to fall out nintendo had back in the day during the n64 to sony.<br />
<br />
On a side note since I messed up my final exam, I will be working on redoing tutorial files for oC to escape depression as well as cleaning the house for holiday guests.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry for the long absence but I have been EXTREMELY busy with real life issues -mostly school related and being sick all the time. I am going to start uploading new tones for oC4 in August as well as put up tutorial on how to make and use tone in oC4 (should work for oC3 as well).<br />
<br />
I have sketches of characters but they are not fully inked and I have issues with putting up work that is not completed. <br />
<br />
Now for a cheap plug - video game companies are now catching on to the fan community bandwagon and wanting to give you free stuff for joining and participating in their forums. So why not take advantage of free stuff? Missed a preorder bonus? Want something rare or something that you have to otherwise import? <br />
<br />
Konami has now made a new community so join and and help me out too XD! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.konamistars.com/konamistars/?u=kainnero">[link]</a>  <--so join pretty please! I wanna get that Suikoden art book!<br />
<br />
If anyone has something about oC they want me to do, like looking for specific tone or what not, tell me okay? I'll put it in my to do list for my August upload.<br />
<br />
There are at least new 25 tones coming your way oC4 users! Get ready for it! ]]></description>

<br />
Manga Studio is a translation of the Japanese software Comic Studio. It is software tailored specifically for comic book making and I think the best part is it comes loaded with screen tone. The price for full version is like 299 USD but if you are a student, you can probably get it for much less. I have seen it go as low as 129 USD. <br />
<br />
I think there is no point to buy the debut version if you have a machine running Windows. If you check the comparison chart, Mac users get better deal on Debut, which is like 50 bucks, compared to the Windows counter part. ]]></description>

On another note...did my screentones get lost in the mail? (sniffle)<br />
<br />
There is "new" software being translated. ComicStudio by Celsys is now translated into English for PC and Mac called Manga Studio. Google it. You might like it. ]]></description>

What are SlimeKnights you ask? Why don't you come and see for yourself. You won't regret it and even SquareEnix want you to be there with their cute bribes of free demo discs and other goodies!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I finally got my butt into gear to upload a file. Heh, I plan to use this account mainly as a resource for openCanvas users. Don't expect numerous updates. I do things when I do things and I am so busy in real life that I forget to do some things online. It happens. <br />
<br />
Since lots of people seem to have oC 1 versus buying the latest version, and considering that the company that makes oC doesn't support version 1, I thought I would slowly make a PDF file resource on various oC topics.<br />
<br />
I may upload a few pics when I feel like it, but then again, I am totally random. ]]></description>
