| On Bleedman -- His art style is VERY cute. His storylines.... very strange. Entertaining, yes, but in more of a 'bad fanfiction' or 'soap-opera" way than I think he intends it to be.
But if I were to do Comic work, Bleedman is certainly not who I aspire to be. I much more admire artists like Gabe of Penny Arcade, or the guy from VGCats. I guess to an extent I admire artists that I can spot constant improvement in their work and/or are funny. Blah, and I don't want to go to work today. I don't know how long I can keep up that first-panel cheeriness  (edited by Tarale on 12-14-05 05:18 PM) |

Probably, but considering I was doing this on the end of Panel 4 (ie, I was absolutely fucked) I'd had enough of fiddling with things and just threw it together. 
All artwork I do after a day of work by default has corners significantly cut. After THIS week, even more so
YAY LAZY |

Originally posted by Alastor the Stylish Yeah, but I'm not exactly in the mood to spend hours and hours on something after an 9 hour day + 1 hour bus ride (each way) + cooking dinner + doing dishes + washing and ironing, etc either. It's not so much laziness for laziness sake, but rather pure exhaustion. Besides, I'm sure those who make webcomics on a daily basis either cut corners or have developed clever time saving tips when they do this stuff; whereas that is my first ever comic strip of any sort and I have not had time to work out all the time-savers/tips/shortcuts yet. I did work out how to make a bunch of really cluttered and awful layers though  So if I do this again I need to work neater layers-wise or I get too easily frustrated right now.
I'm itching for holidays; the longer I go without any kind of a break (I am not entitled to any kind of leave thanks to that surgery earlier this year using it all up) the more mentally lazy / irritable / corner cutting I get in my non work-related life too.... |

| Today I have the weirdest headache... it starts in my throat when I breathe in, and ends up a sharp pain behind my left eye at the peak of my breathing-in cycle, then goes back to my throat as I breathe out. I also have a hot, inconsistent (muscular type) pain in the back of my neck
I wonder if I'm coming down with something, or if it's just stress from what has been a completely insane week so far. It's the last week of the School Year, so it's been exceptionally busy and full-on, so it could simply be that I'm worn down to the point of absoute exhaustion. Roll on next week, when all the buggers go home and the phones get quiet! |

| Well, I've been having so many headaches for the last year -- and problems when driving -- that tomorrow I'm going to get my eyes tested.
My housemate thinks it's funny. He says I'm "sooo" getting glasses, "nerd" |

| Frankly, you've been pretty mean.
Without explicitly saying it, you've told me that I'm untalented, unskilled, that everything I've ever drawn is ugly, and that I should quit drawing. Your basis for this seems to be simply that you don't like the style that I choose to draw in. You have repeatedly bashed my drawing style, but not given a single decent technical critique, or pointer on how to improve (other than to tell me I should quit). If you were to treat anybody else in Modern Art this way, I would be requesting that you be banned from Modern Art. It is not acceptable to debase and insult Modern Artists simply because you do not like the style they draw in. For most Modern Artists (myself included) this is a hobby, and something that they are working to improve on in their spare time -- I would like to ask you in future that if you wish to comment negatively on people's artwork, that you do so in such a way that will be helpful to them, or that you do not post at all. Frankly, I'm surprised at your manners, and have been for pretty much all of this thread. |

| As far as I'm concerned, there is simply no place for rudeness here.
Most artists put a lot of time and effort into their work (I put a month of a half into shading that piece). I think then that regardless of whether you like the style of that artwork, it deserves to be commented on at a serious level. I don't think you would appreciate it if something you put a lot of time and effort into was as rudely dismissed. You say you don't have the "knowledge" to back up what you're saying. I don't think you need special knowledge to critique a piece of artwork. You simply look at the picture and find things you think look good (you might think the shading on the hair is good or something, I don't know) and things you think look bad, wrong, or a touch off (you might, for example, think the arms are too thick). This does not require special knowledge, an art degree, or whatever. Just simple analytical skills. You then write a response without being rude. You can say politely that you don't like the artistic style, without using words like "ugly" or insinuating that it required "no skill". I'm just saying that I'd appreciate it if in future you responded to people's artwork in a more tactful manner. This doesn't apply simply to my artwork, but all art in Modern Art, be it musical, written, photoshopped, sprite comic, or drawn (or whatever). (edited by Tarale on 12-15-05 06:32 PM) |

Well, aside from the possible problem with the snowflakes and the text, it's good.... I can't suggest a fix for it either really; as white is the best possible contrast color for this. |

Meh, online advertising is interesting.
|
Obviously in just about every media we're exposed to, there's advertising. TV, Radio, movies, billboards, newspapers, public transport, telegraph poles, and of course the web... Most people are so over-exposed to advertising they filter out most of it anyways -- regardless of whether it's TV, or whatever. People simply don't listen to the ads on the radio, or they record TV shows without the ads (omg "stealing" tv!! -- another issue), or whatever. The internet really isn't all that different. What seems to be different about the internet is that several unscrupulous companies have worked out that they can manipulate computers/users to force advertising on their potential customers through spyware and popup advertising. And they also can be avoided once you're aware of it and such. Some browsers and platforms make it harder than others, of course. What I think is interesting about "online advertising" is that a lot of what is considered "advertising" on the internet really doesn't fall into the category of "advertising", at least in my mind. I'd consider it closer to "social engineering" -- a lot of things on the internet don't so much try to convince a customer to buy or install something using good-old-fashioned salesmanship, so much as they trick somebody into doing so. I don't consider that "advertising". Some of the actual advertising on the web is fairly well done and if done properly has been useful for helping me find products that I have been interested in / purchased / installed -- without social engineering and trickery. AliasSketchbook Pro for example is something I saw advertised on an art related site. And webhosting is something I've also found through internet advertising. Oh, and unrelated -- work blocks the Google Ads on this site, simply to save bandwidth.

Just for fun, show off your toys!*
|
* "Toys" may refer to anything from actual toys, games, to cars or other vehicles, computers, appliances, etc. Anything you have that you love to play with / tinker with / etc. Body parts may be considered toys, but please don't post them
I have a new Pinky: St doll! 
And a Before Crisis wallscroll: 
And my computer, which is always a fun toy (minus the times where it's not working properly, in which case it's evil... eeeeviiiil I tells ya) 
Post your toys.
I'll post my geeky Evangelion stuffs later (edited by Tarale on 12-16-05 07:23 AM)

In the short term, my plans include making it through this year... if it kills me.
|
I don't really want all that much. I want to get my finances to a point where I'm not in a constant state of panic about debts that I have hanging over my head (that may or may not be my fault). I want to find somebody with whom I can share my life -- preferably not somebody who abuses me like I have found in the past. I have realised in recent years that I want kids... but not yet. I just want a quiet life and somebody to share it with. For the moment I'd just settle with my life being a little less stressful and people in my life pulling their weight around the house. Damned housemate arsehat... shit, he didn't pay his fkn rent again either today!! ARGH!! Well that's it, I have no money for groceries... *walks off rambling about bills and groceries and money and rent*

There's still entirely too many things on my mind lately.
|
I had my previous threads about some of this stuff deleted, for security reasons, and I apologise if I have to do it again later. Well, the debt issues are still problematic, but clearing up. Instead of $35,000 of wrongful debt, it may now only be $10,000. Which is MUCH more manageable - I may actually be able to get a loan for that amount of money! Problem is my credit rating isn't all the best; and I've been trying to fix it with Baycorp to little avail.... I think as of end of last week I've done all I can with my credit file, and I need to find a time (when it's not friggen Christmas, so probably not this year then) to go and apply for a loan. There's still the issues with my housemate. I'm an idiot and I fell in love with him, he doesn't seem to know I exist anymore. I want to tell him how I really, REALLY feel, but I think it's just going to be a waste of time. I can't help but get the feeling he's still holding a candle for his ex.
Moving house at the beginning of the year... this bothers me too... partly because of all the packing and moving, partly cause I don't know if it's wise to live with my housemate again considering my feelings for him. It probably isn't, but finding a home is expensive if you're by yourself; and I can't (mentally) afford to go back to my mother's -- she only triggers and worsens my clinical depression by treating me like I'm 13 years old. What really really bothers me though is -- none of the things I've written about above are things that I need to deal with right now and probably not till next year, but I can't turn my brain off and stop thinking about and worrying about it all. I guess it's because this entire year (with the debt and all) has been so highly stressful that now I'm in a cycle of adrenaline and cortisol overproduction/use that I can't switch off.
With the debt issue partially resolved (or at least, time bought), I *should* be able to lie back and take a deep breath and chill the hell out, but I can't! Instead I'm stuck in this weird cycle where I still feel like it's a matter of daily urgency to plan things, sort things out, etc. Rationally I know I have time on my side now though... (which I haven't had for the last 6 months at least) Any hints on turning off the overthinking/overplanning/worrying/stress? Any hints on how to just "let go" of your worries after they've been problematic for a long time, and convince yourself that it's okay if you give yourself a break? | ||||||||||||||
