hello b3ta
got myself a wacom bamboo tablet..
and haven't post in a while, so here we go

(cuak oh noes! i'm b3tarded, Wed 14 May, 3:24, Reply)

wow! how long did that take?
(wish i had talent like that)

woo!
( Agent Muu http://www.b3ta.com/links/187129, Wed 14 May, 3:25, Reply)

not much actually
30 mins maybe.
it all started with this: www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/data/jpg/faceraw.jpg
then added some black background with some fog, bump map displace, unsharpen mask.. and there it is... the drawing talent is quite null.. all made in gimp (photoshop alternative for linux)

thanks for the comments ;)

edit: oh noes, I've broken the magic! :D

I second this
and also realise I really need to get a wacom.
( hexachordal oh god is that an octopus in her vagina oh god, Wed 14 May, 3:27, Reply)

get one
it's really fun to use.
be it for drawing or photo editing.. a great tool indeed.
(cuak oh noes! i'm b3tarded, Wed 14 May, 3:35, Reply)

Well I've got a trust one
but it's rather pants. I can use it in flash, but in photoshop, it draws a shaky line. Which is shite :(

Like I said, it was in the archive.
Yes, it's long, but a fairly thoughtful interview on a subject far too close to my heart.. been a good ten years since I've read any academic commentary like that, interesting to see what's changed and what hasn't.

we had one at my old work, the one we had had a pink tongue thing , not a blue one
We took the spider off it so it was just the pump, hose and tongue thing.I fixed the tongue on the shelf beside the till with the sesame snaps on it and fed the hose back to the till. When people were looking at the shelf, you could make the tongue thing pop out. It was funny but the owner of the shop found out about it and removed it.

Shitty movies I saw on the weekend:
 
Impostor - based on a Philip K. Dick short story, fine cast, but somehow, completely and utterly uninvolving. Don't know if it was the writing or the directing, but I really didn't care about anything that happened. I do like to see Vincent playing the bad guy though (OR WAS HE?! SPOILER).

Mad City - I was really surprised by this, since I expected it to be absolutely fucking unwatchable. Mainly I was watching Ted Levine, but it turned out to be quite fun, and even Travolta came off well. Not as fun as Wag the Dog, which it brought to mind - media manipulation, &c.
