I have a few sketches I work at at my roleplaying group which are fun, but I need to buckle down and actually get them completed. Though with work ten hours a day Sun, Mon, and Tues nights, gaming on Thursday nights, and Warhammer on Fri or Sat nights I just don't have the time I used to (plus Borderlands, Demon's Souls, and Uncharted 2 are also eating up my time )

Hopefully I'll get something finished soon so I feel less worthless to the community and my watchers as a whole. If not, my apologies in advance

Its my Friday at work, so I got some time off the next few days and will hopefully have a celebratory piece thrown up in a few days (though I have no idea what I'm going to do for it, any suggestions?)

Thanks again everyone, and a very special thanks to a few particular people (you know who you are )

Many thanks to Phoenix-Phyrefox, as well as the others who have continued to support me!

Hopefully this will give me a chance to really get some more ideas on paper and onto here quicker! Keep an eye out

1.) Convenience; If I make a mistake with one of my lines, "undo" and its taken care of. If I were doing it on paper, I'm OCD enough with my work that I would scrap it and start over (I've done this before which is part of the reason I quick inking traditionally).

2.) Cost; I buy a program and "Boom" thats it. Free updates, etc. Sure a new version may come out every now and then, but I don't have to upgrade. Though when it comes to traditional media, everyone knows that there are some materials that are better than others and they cost MORE than what my program cost me. Plus when they run out, I gotta buy more ink, new pens, etc.

3.) Portability; I see this in the opposite light that the other people who claim its easier to just whip out a pen and start drawing. Sure, thats all well and good for doodling, but what if you want it to be something you can actually take further and finish? Why should I have to redraw my napkin drawing bigger when I can just draw it on my laptop and have it available to edit at any time?

Meh, I guess I just really needed to vent. Reading shit like that pisses me off and has drained me even more of any desire to draw. I'm sure that there are artists out there who, like me, are very insecure about their work to begin with, then to have deal with faceless elitists who say we're not skilled because of our preferred medium just makes it worse. I need to just stay off the internet and not read shit anymore.

Fuck it, gotta go fix the washing machine now :<

Since I don't always have access to a keyboard now I had to find a way to access shortcuts in Photoshop and the like more easily. Enter the Belkin N52te. It's a gaming pad with 14 keys (technically 17) and a scroll wheel. The entire thing can be programed with software they provide and it'll even change key bindings dependent on what program you're using (if you program it to.)

In other news, I'm finally forcing myself to sit down and learn Adobe Illustrator. I've heard good things about it, even that its potentially better for digital art than Photoshop, primarily because of its superior vector capabilities (which is what I use exclusively in PS.) We'll see how that goes as hopefully it won't alter how long it takes me to finish a piece.

well that it for updates, now I can finally get to work and do some shit. The only thing standing in my way is my laziness

He is one of the most amazing talents I've seen in my life. Most of his impressions are spot on, including the females. If you get the chance, go see him while he's on tour. If you don't get the opportunity to see him on tour, you owe it to yourself to head down to Vegas and see him at the Hilton! Its worth it!

Also while you're in Vegas, you should totally see the Blue Man Group too!

On a related note, I decided to check my gallery stats, and a lone piece seems to be enjoyed by a majority. This one actually and it also has the most number of favs of all my work with a great 44!

Rob put on a hell of a show, as did Ozzy. Didn't get to see In This Moment cos I was too busy backstage meeting the Ozzy crew.

I must say, I'm feel quite exhilarated now that I've drawn something again. Like I've accomplished something great! At least now I know I still have it in me!

-The first 10 people to reply to this Journal will get put up in it along with my three favourite deviations done by them.

-Those who do reply though, have to do the same thing in their journals. This is to help spread the virus and gain a bit of exposure (at least for me it is. Dunno about your motivations.)

Well not really, but that would be funny to talk about though wouldn't it?

This is just another quick update, yes I'm still alive. No I'm not working on anything new cos I can't come up with a quick base sketch that I like to save my life. So ya, I truly do hope to have some new content up as it has been a long time since I created anything. Also, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has taken my soul, so that may be a reason I haven't started any new work too. Either way, I am trying to put up some new eye candy for those of you who pay attention to what I do, sorry for not having anything yet though. ]]> ~ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe http://ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe.deviantart.com/journal/7498555/ http://ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe.deviantart.com/journal/7498555/ Tue, 03 Jan 2006 12:04:23 PST ~ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe http://ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe.deviantart.com/journal/7130711/ http://ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe.deviantart.com/journal/7130711/ Thu, 24 Nov 2005 09:08:16 PST ~ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe http://ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe.deviantart.com/journal/5936682/ http://ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe.deviantart.com/journal/5936682/ Thu, 14 Jul 2005 20:34:53 PDT ~ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe http://ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe.deviantart.com/journal/5861108/ http://ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe.deviantart.com/journal/5861108/ Wed, 06 Jul 2005 21:12:37 PDT ~ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe http://ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe.deviantart.com/journal/4975870/ http://ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe.deviantart.com/journal/4975870/ Sat, 02 Apr 2005 01:09:17 PST ~ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe http://ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe.deviantart.com/journal/4587926/ http://ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe.deviantart.com/journal/4587926/ Tue, 15 Feb 2005 09:18:53 PST ~ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe http://ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe.deviantart.com/journal/4489171/ http://ThE-ViRuS-oF-LiFe.deviantart.com/journal/4489171/ Thu, 03 Feb 2005 14:36:05 PST
