My old ASUS R1F tablet PC was on it’s last legs. The hinge on it was busted, my AC adapter was shot, the battery only lasted 30 seconds and it was getting slower and slower as time went on. I knew I would need something new, but I was hoping to make it last until after Christmas. Sadly, that wasn’t going to happen. So off to the store I go and purchase and new shiny Microsoft Surface Pro. After doing a bunch of research on the tablet/PC hybrid, it seemed to be my best option. Plus, lots of other artists in the art community seem to be giving it two thumbs up.
So far, things have been super nice with it. It’s starts up super fast and my Photoshop loads extremely quick. I did have to wrestle with it a bit to get going, but that seems a bit normal. The Surface dose have a slightly different feel when it comes to drawing with the stylus. That’s to be expected though, and if I’m brave enough I can make some adjustments to it… or I can just live with it. We’ll have to wait and see. A friend of mine also bought one two days after me, so we’re sort of comparing our experiences with it and using each other for tips and advice. Now I don’t have to worry about my Tablet PC konking out and me losing a bunch of art at the same time. That would have sucked huge balls. I hope to have a pic to post from this new one toy soon so you can all judge if my work has changed at all, if any as I adjust to it. Laters. ^_^
Hey crew, sorry I’ve been away for such a long time. Here’s another Alice skirt lift to make it up.
So here’s why I haven’t been around as of late. A member of my family suffers from a form of mental illness and last October they hit a rough patch. We’ve been dealing with that since that time and to help out, my Mother comes over to help watch the kids. Since I’m pretty sure my feminist, man hating Mom wouldn’t approve of my porns… it takes a back seat. Early this summer, we seem to have the illness under control again which is good… but the crazy times don’t end there. A friend of ours ended up leaving her jerk, ass husband and we offered her and her two kids our home to stay in during that transition. So yeah… no porns then either. Also, just this past weekend we took our yearly camping trip with my brother in law and his kids. So naughty drawings had to wait a bit longer. I think now though… everything is in order for me to start up again. I hope… I’m just sort of waiting for something else to happen to be honest.
I found my Battle Beasts! I knew I still had them. I even still have all the weapons they came with. Saddly, the moose on the end there had is weapon broken where they where kept. It looks like he was holding it, but ended up on the bottom of the toy pile which resulted in it being broken. That sucks, I’ll have to see if I can crazy glue it. I’m surprised that more arn’t broken really. These things are about 25 years old.
Hey! Have heard the news? Battle Beasts will be getting some sort of reboot this year! I remember those toys from when I was young. They where little anthro/mech animals. They all had their own unique design and weapon. I didn’t have a lot of them, but I loved the ones I had. I always meant to get more off ebay, but I never did. There are some pretty cool ones out there too like an octopus, rabbit, squid… the list goes on. I guess Japan will be giving Battle Beasts a new anime, toys and 3DS game, which is where these guys are from. Now I need to fine where my toys are.
No, I didn’t win the lottery, but I like to day dream sometimes. If I really wanted that to happen I should probably buy more lottery tickets. Do you know anyone that won a large sum of money through a lottery? I don’t know anyone myself, but I know people that know people that have won a lottery. From what I’ve been told, they pretty much quit their jobs and just live off the interest of the winnings. I’m not sure I’d quit my job, I’d probably still work it for kicks. I do know if I won several millions of dollars I’d like to start my own small game studio. That would be pretty sweet. Nothing large, just something that would allow me to make games that I might like to make. Oh, I guess I’d share some money with my family too… and go to Disney World again. ^_^ What would you do?
I’ve started reading a book called Disney’s Art of Aniamtion. It goes through the very beginnings all the way up to Beauty and Beast. I find it interesting, the flip I’ve done with regards to Disney. Back in animation classes, most of us sort of turned our noses up at Disney. Hate the industry leader because they’re the top of the heap. Then one day, long before I went to Disney World, another artist asked me “Why do you hate Disney so much”? … I couldn’t give him an answer. I tried to think about what reason I might possibly have to hate them, and I couldn’t do it. I felt like a fool. It really made me step back and think about my stance on the topic of Disney. It was about that time that we started to watch more Disney movies at home. I really started to study the films and pick out the good points and the bad ones too and really understand what they where trying to do with each one. I think it was after we did go to Disney World that I made a full turn around on my way of thinking. I really do respect the art they produce, on all levels and the love and joy they bring to all people. I trained to be in this industry, but I work in games, and I’d be lying if I said there isn’t a part of me the wishes I was in film animation right now.
