Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you finally made the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean more quality to the paintings, am i right?.
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast. Then only to realize you only have total control of the brush but when you are moving it really slow?. But when you do quick strokes the pressure drops a lot of paint making you redraw tons of stuff?
Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.
Have you ever open the customize option in wacom settings, only to feel dumb and no

Holidays and crazy ideas...

Listening to: Rule the world - Take That
Watching: Firefly
Drinking: Pepsi

Updates

A quick note to let you all know I won't be around for ten days or so - we'll be visiting my parents in Northern Germany, and since I don't trust my father to find out his password for his internet connection so I can log in with my netbook, I#ll be internet-less.

And God have mercy on my soul, but this morning while drying my hair (these things ALWAYS happen while I'm drying my hair), I had the sudden inspiration to turn my Rhyddion Chronicles into a comic rather than a novel. And for this first time in ten years, this idea wasn't rejected immediately.

I know what you're going to say - that you've been telling me this all along and that it's the natural way to go, and I know it's something a lot of you would like to hold in their hands. It's something I'd die to hold in my hands as well. The thing is I'm not sure my hands can actually draw all that stuff.

But we'll see. I'll mull it over and do a couple of test pages when I'm back from holiday (or maybe ON holiday. Nice time for art.) That, at least, should be fun.

Seeya all again in August

I nearly killed myself over the first test page. I think I might go with your version.

~Celebel-Quettandil Jul 26, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yeah, well, I feel like you have so much things to convey that are not adecuated to convey through drawings. You'll have to think your story on a totally diferent form if you go on with the comic. I think you're more into the subtlety and ambiguity literature can give you.
Or maybe I'm reading too much into your writings... U_U

=Gold-Seven Jul 28, 2010 Professional Traditional Artist

No, you're right - sketching one page (from chapter three), that was the first thing I thought, and will probably be the reason why I'll stick to prose

An image *can* convey a huge amount of subtext, but it needs to, definitely. And that much subtext is more easily conveyed with actual text.

~EruNuo Jul 17, 2010

Ich wünsch dir einen schönen Urlaub

Und was ich von der Comic-idee halte weißt du ja inzwischen.
Pass auf dich und deine Familie auf! <3

=Gold-Seven Jul 26, 2010 Professional Traditional Artist

Danke! Wir haben die Kinder mal eben für ne Woche bei meinen Eltern abgeladen und werden hier so tun, als wären wir nochmal Studenten...

!KodawaruOnna Jul 17, 2010

How exciting! Can't wait to see those test pages.

*enonea Jul 17, 2010

Hab einen schönen Urlaub im schönen Norddeutschland!

Die Idee mit dem Comic finde ich großartig! Ein Roman mit Coverillu und Innenillus hat zwar auch was für sich (und erreicht vielleicht mehr Leser), aber dein Zeichentalent sollte genauso im Vordergrund stehen wie dein Schreibtalent!!!11eins

~TinorialPeredhil Jul 16, 2010

I have absolute faith in your talents! Assuming, of course, that the kiddies are willing to share their mommy with some artistic inspiration. Have fun on your vacation.

=Gold-Seven Jul 26, 2010 Professional Traditional Artist

We've just dumped the kids on their grandparents for a week.

*CircuitDruid Jul 16, 2010

your a good writer, but your also a great and expressive artist. I'd be horribly exited to read a visual novel from you
