I seem to have leave people with the impression that when I say I can do things with Pixia, I don't mean it. I guess I'm going to have to prove my mettle so to speak and show what I can do. There's only one way to dispel doubts, and that's through proof, which I am prepared to offer. I don't have any works to put up right now, but I will have a couple soon enough. That's a promise.

I'm just in the free account there too since I don't have the money, or means to spend money online anyway. The Ad blocker (built into Avant Browser) actually works 90% of the time and the pages load faster wiothout those ads sometimes too. As for the warning, yes you, as well as others, did warn me about DeviantArt's backroom headaches. I weighed those issues among many things, and the pros of joining outweighed the cons when I registered. Adam did mention last year that he was considering a premium service (also mentioned here) offering here at MyO, but I don't know if it's still on the table or not. 1 It was supposed to be in place October of last year. At any rate, I don't think TheO's paid option, if one ever does come about, would sacrifice quality in the free accounts. Somehow Adam doesn't strike me as the type to put profit above the user experience. I wouldn't be adverse to paying for a more featured TheO, as long as there's a way to do it without needing to have a Paypal account, Credit Card, Telekinetic Osmosis or any other means of electronic funds transfers.
I'm not really on dA to make friends and play well with others, so I'll stay off the forum if I can help it. The category browse thing is a button near the top left of the page, it says catergory with a downward arrow on it. I can get some screencaps if you need to see them.
It's not my place to comment on your choice to waste money like that, so I won't. All I can say is that my tablet never came with a coupon. I don't have plans to be a web designer, so I don't really need name brand software to make logos, buttons or basic web page decor, I can do things with Pixia, Irfanview and MS GIF animator when I need them.
I started out on paper and pencil myself, and I'm still learning digital art, but I'll never let digital completely replace the pencil and paper. There's something to be said for tangible media that you can't get from a PC screen. It's a wondcerful tool and all, but it just doesn't feel the same.
I've caught some eyes over there too, not as many as I'd like to have, but it's a start. You asked me if I'd do photoreference for artists over there, actually I would be willing to work something out on those lines for interested artists because I'd be impressed to see someone turn a photo I took into a painting or something else. And it would get my foot in the door for other things too I would think.
The weather can't be helping your hands out any, Hope you feel better soon.

Well, I told myself in April that I would have Draft 1 done by Christmas this year. Given that I've had most of the year to do it, I should be a lot closer to done than I am. I'm only pushing myself to get caught up, and I'm always careful not to overdo it. If I need more time I'll allot it.
I don't know them by memory yet, I had to look it up. I don't watch them anymore, but I did read "The Monsters Ae Due On Maple Street" the script for the episode, and I loved it. If I recall, I was the narrator when we read that in Literature class, I did my best Rod Serling impression while doing it too, creeped some of the kids out.
Not to their faces, but in written letters which is worse because it's documented and preserved. The President has came to my town twice, but I don't have a high opinion of the man so I didn't go see him speak.
So far it looks like they did good. It wass raining today, and ther was no leaks. We'll have to wait till it's really pouring to know for sure if it's 100% fixed.
I don't know what the landlord is planning to do with the building. He most likely got some insurance money from the blaze, which din't do as much damage as it sounds like. He'd have to gut the interior just to get rid of the smell, but the outside is brick so it wasn't affected at all. My sister's friend thinks the landlord will either sell the building as is and make it someone else's problem, or he'll fix it up and make luxury apartments out of them. Either way, he'll be off the hook with HUD. Isn't that convenient?
You too.

There's no such thing as a stupid question. I do absolutely nothing. I don't have a job.
Good luck on those finals and all.

No artist worth his salt will ever be 100% satisfied with his own work.
Having been there myself, it's creepy, really creepy, and cold, and smelly, and unsettling. Just like walking through the game. It's something I hope I don't have to experience again.
I suppose one could dye a whte strawberry blue, it would look kind of funky and unnatural, but it would be blue. Now I'm going to have to find white strawberries just to try that I think they're in season in spring so that'll be a while. I don't think I can pull off the silver though, too costly for the silver leaf.

Well, sometimes I had to just stop and not do my homework to let my mind open up. Don't slack off too long now, you don't want to fall behind. Yeah, some tutorials are helpful, some aren't for one reason or another. The ones I posted or mentioned are all good ones. Part of my soreness is from typing when I should have been resting my arms so they kind of overworked themselves. I do feel better after letting them rest a bit.
Like I said, it's just the international astronomical community politicing their own agendas for whatever reason. Pluto was a planet in 1930 when it was discovered, and it's a planet to me now, it always will be.
I might entertain weatching it if it ever makes it to cable TV like I did with Mothman and Tombraider, but that's to be seen. Horror isn't really my thing.
There aren't any stories like that in my family, but my sister has this thing she does at funerals. If you're eating something, you'd better put it down, and as far away from you as you can. She'll actually touch the body. She did it with our grandmother, she did it with our grandfather and almost made my brother (who's studying pathology) sick. What that does for her I don't know, but she's the most in tune to spirits from what people tell me, and that action does something. sometimes spirits watch over us, whether we want it or not, they do. Chances are your grandmother didn't completely stop seeing things, she just put them in the back of her mind as people do sometimes.
I don't mind hearing what you don't mind sharing. I can't return the favor, I've told all the tales from my family.
So am I.
