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 GO SPORT, Wed 14 May 2008, 3:27, archived)

get one
it's really fun to use.
be it for drawing or photo editing.. a great tool indeed.

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 :(

TJ:
is it just me, or does this particular picture of the newsletter kitten seem like he's got an overgrown backside (or an underdeveloped front-end)?

FORESHORTENING, MOTHERFUCKER
 
I forget to even look at the newsletter most of the time..
cute photo set (even if the poor little pedigree is doomed to fuck knows what health problems later on) - in the middle of what appears to be a Belgian soft porn site?

Did you ever read the Bad Art Collective?
( hexachordal GO SPORT, Wed 14 May 2008, 3:28, archived)

No.
Only skimmed through. :[

It's so awesome :D
If you get another chance, read it properly.

I most totally will!

Did you get Bamboo 'FUN!' or just regular one?
I'm thinking of getting one myself.
( hexachordal GO SPORT, Wed 14 May 2008, 3:32, archived)

mine is bamboo regular (small one)
it's quite enough for a 17" monitor imho.
(cuak oh noes! i'm b3tarded, Wed 14 May 2008, 3:34, archived)

get the regular one
the FUNNNN one is marketed towards faggots. actually it's just more expensive but comes with shit software and one or two extra useless features.
( Shada is making a post on the internet, Wed 14 May 2008, 3:34, archived)

yup
and it comes with a mouse.
you probably have one already ;)

You lot are all useful.
Cheers :P

WHAT ARE THE HAPS

I AM ASKING ABOUT THE HAPS.

( Rapitinui kick it out of me gently, Wed 14 May 2008, 4:04, archived)

They are
uh
I'm not really sure. Hello!
why are the haps?
( abandonnship has lobster-like tenacity, Wed 14 May 2008, 4:05, archived)

because I have a porous, sponge-like brain and read too many Dinosaur Comics.
 
Today I have been spectacularly unproductive.. on the way to work I was thinking about all the things I need to do in the next ten days that I was going to put into a list.
I haven't even made the fucking list yet
( Rapitinui kick it out of me gently, Wed 14 May 2008, 4:09, archived)

Yeah, but if you did
it would just depress you because then you'd have this huge list of things to do
( abandonnship has lobster-like tenacity, Wed 14 May 2008, 4:12, archived)

better in my outlook tasks than in my head!
 
so many blogs, so little time.
Happened across this one this morning - I was looking for pictures of antique calendars, but this thread was in the archive of one of the sites I found.. good interview.

( Rapitinui kick it out of me gently, Wed 14 May 2008, 4:15, archived)

I'll be honest
that's way too long

what does it have to do with calendars?
( abandonnship has lobster-like tenacity, Wed 14 May 2008, 4:20, archived)

oh, nothing.
 
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.
( Rapitinui kick it out of me gently, Wed 14 May 2008, 4:48, archived)

Well if it's a genuine good article
why not

not drowning, waving.
almost 1:00 am, so good morning, i suppose. though it's bedtime soon.
( postbear better than disco, worse than hitler, Wed 14 May 2008, 5:54, archived)

I agree
probably more about the bed soon than the drowning, but it could go either way
