@ imaginary people "but most of them are just crazy assholes" awesome! and yeah I remember mad balls too now that you mention it they were squshing and gross ( I think they even had a cartoon?)!
EDIT: because I'm wasting my useless life HERE'S the Madballs...
@Hey Apathy - my style's not for everyone. The apartment's not just yellow, either - the living room is a combination of golden yellow, yellow ochre and the lemon yellow you see behind the table; the spare bedroom is done in magenta, rust red and diox purple, and the main bedroom is turquoise, phthalo blue and ulramarine blue. My place would give you seizures for a month afterward.
@Imaginary People - glad you like it. Drop me a line if you'd like a custom piece of your own at any point, I'm considering doing this for a living once the apartment is finished.
@Greasemonkey- Unfortunetely I'm going to be in Ottawa performing at some art festival that weekend. I was lurking on the other thread but didn't want to speak up because I wasn't sure if I was in the Ottawa show or not. It's too bad because while I don't drink, smoke or eat sausages, I do do scenes from Blue Velvet and rather passionately I might add. I'm sad too cause I could really use some flesh and blood socialization these days, hopefully next time. (I've often wished this place was a cafe and all these cats were popping in out drawing pictures and talking to one another face to face)
@mojo - RE: SBP Scratchdisk. No, at least not that I know of or can see. SBP is meant to be really light weight (it really slows down the higher above 400 dpi you go), so there shouldn't be much of a need for one. If you're finding you need files to react faster, try saving alt versions with flattened layers. Like have your base file of 5 or more layers, make a flat copy, work on top of that with more layers, and so on.
If I have to go above 6 or more active layers, I just use Pshop or Manga studio. I try to keep sketchbook pretty light and no hassle, but that's just me.
I'm fiddling around with a Doctor Who piece that is completely kicking my ass right now, but when I feel like giving up on it I look in here for inspiration. You guys are awesome.
