I'm going to draw for it, but since I have no way to scan, they're going to be just for me and whoever can stomach cellphone pictures of them on facebook.  Sorry!

Need it, but don't know what I'd use it for, and probably wouldn't succeed anyway. 

LeSean Thomas (Cannon Busters, The Boondocks) presents a quick bit on the importance of drawing before drawing, thumbnailing, and preplanning in general.

Damn Good Vid!!  Thanks Pi!

Nothin' I didn't really already know, but I love this guy's work.  I think I'll go post it to my FB.

<snip> ...I am losing my mind waiting to see the lineup.

You aren't the only one!!

I'm about to go crazy from nerves!

If this Jam is any kind of predictor of the final outcome of the tourney, I'd have to say I'm fucked. 

Good thing it's not, yeah?

Pi!  Are you in?  You said you would if I did.

He has a limited understanding of the concept of gravity and frequently finds himself attempting what I'm sure seem like really simple feats of climbing and free falling with varying degrees of failure.

I was expecting it to be super religious propaganda or something, but it wasn't. Very awesome action flic, along with some good story to go with. Definitely more subtle than Avatar.

I plan to see that this weekend.  Probably.

Eights hasn't changed a whole lot... like some other characters.  And many of the changes (other than clothes) can be attributed to her just growing up--but some, like the claws on her feet, slightly larger ears, and the longer tail were conscious decisions on my part.

Wow!  Thanks Josh!

I learned something, yay!

... but I still haven't figured out how to make my scanner NOT kill watercolours completely.
Okay, I'll go finish my intro pages now. Promise.

So far, the only way I can tell to get watercolors to look right scanned, is to use the really, really expensive kind, AND to use a good scanner.  Not one of those all-in-one machines, but one of the pricey ones, and even then there's no guarantee that the light blues will come out.

Stephanie Pui-Mun Law over at www.shadowscapes.com has some great watercolor paintings (and a tut!) but she doesn't say how she gets them to scan right... Maybe she photographs them?  I'll have to email her and ask.

I keep hearing about parents being outraged by this movie, there were no kids at the screening I went to, how about anyone else?

ahahaha what? It's rated R guys... don't take the kids. XD I didn't see any, but it was a late showing.

There are idiots everywhere man.  Don't underestimate human stupidity.  I remember somebody talking about how some dad brought their eight-year old (can't remember where, could've been here) and walked out at the first sight of you know what, but was letting him watch the gore.

I found myself looking at the ceiling for the sex scene (I'm the girl who blushed like a tomato back in High School whenever someone said 'Boobs') but the repeated full-frontal didn't bother me.  I guess because John is such a non-sexual being to me that it just didn't register that way with me, it became just a penis, no big deal.

Used to use nibs (look at my Heros stuff in my DevArt gallery--it's really old now), but I find them too messy and inconvenient to use now.  The whole time I was drawing Heros I was suffering from Multiple Sclerosis symptoms--I would shake and cramp up something awful--I had to stop frequently, and I absolutely had to be at my drawing desk. 

Now most of drawing is done away from my desk, and at any moment I'll have to put it down for the baby.  I guess that's why I'm finding Koh-i-noors so awesome right now.

But yeah, nibs are awesome, if you have the space and are able to give them your complete attention.
