A while back when OpenCanvas was first introduced, it was really popular.  The first version allowed you to literally draw with a friend with tools like a dumbed down version of Painter.   Even though they don't have that capability anymore, Opencanvas has something that a few other programs don't...

A way to view how the drawing is created in real time.

Do you think that meeting an artist face to face, or getting to know them better, makes you look at their art in a different way?

Does finding out that an artist is a very nice person but not "very talented" makes you pay attention to their art more?

Or vice versa, if an artist is really really mean and egotistical, but very talented, makes you pay attention to their art less?

Art discussion, yay! :D

I'm gonna be doing chibi drawings of all the Mega Man characters (Classic first, then I might move onto the other stuff) one per day.  On Tuesdays however, I'm gonna do a Catcom cat, and on Saturdays I'm gonna do a Meowvel cat :)

I'll still be posting to DA, when I finish the series definitely, and I might post in-progress pics on Tumblr of other arts.

I'm trying to think ahead...

Even though my bigger tutorials take me forever to finish, they're a ton of fun to do (cause I get to draw Wave a billion time in all these crazy situations, mwahahaha).

I want to finish some more art pieces first, but for the future, what would you guys want to see?

I'm thinking:

1) Just more Photoshop Shorts!  More technical tips!  
2) Flash Tutorial 101, all the basics for someone that doesn't know flash at all.  (I won't be covering actionscript at all)
3) Something else...?

A while back I was on a forum, just talking about how I really wanted to be a colorist for Marvel, and some guy that was there surprised me with his response and pretty much called me a "sell out".

Now, it didn't bother me.  The thought of that mostly amused me, actually.

It makes me wonder... how do people that call artists that do things for money, or in this case, "sell-outs", think we live without any income?  Do people just expect you to somehow live off your parents for the rest of your life and make art for free?

Me: O___O That was fast!
Her: Oh, no no, I'm just reading the end first. :) If it's good, then I know the whole book will be good!

It blew my mind away!  Do any of you guys do that?  I'm personally... well, I go nuts if I'm about to hear a spoiler of any game/movie/book/manga/anime I'm just starting to get into.

A long time ago, you could only view the playbacks if you download Opencanvas, but now it's available to everyone! :)  It seems to take a while to load, but this is a great learning site for drawing, composition and coloring if you have the patience to wait for the downloads.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Opencanvas... well... When I was in High school, it was like... the coolest thing that was out at the time.  Photoshop didn't have as cool painterly stuff as it ]]>
