Balloons.

I don't think this pic is ever going to really work so have it now before I ruin it completely.

Damn those pilots have got it in for you - what did you ever do to annoy so many of them?

Nicely done, Sundae

Thank you

good sir. Every time i touched it after this stage just made it worse, but the shading is very wrong still.

Balloons are pigs to draw.

I imported these and then messed about with them.

Yeah.

Mine are normally easier as they appear flat, but sometimes they just come out wrong.

My problem is

I only have Photoshop Limited Edition (a freebe) to draw in. So no fancy tools for doing curves and layers, or anything much to be honest! It's like Paint with attitude,

Never bothered with Photoshop at all

I learnt Fireworks for some reason, but really love the ability to switch between vector and bitmap/jpeg stuff. I tried learning the other ones but don't really have the time when I can do what I want this way.

I'm terrible for

embracing new technology. I have had this Photoshop for at least 7 years, but never thought about buying a newer version. My mobile phone makes phone calls and text messages, and that is it!

Yay!

I am constantly being given weird looks because I just want my phone to be a phone. I'm only just thinking about getting an ipod too.

Everytime I

get my mobile out there is a miniture eclipse!

This is why I hate them!

Though I am now actually considering one, too much time on the road these days! :(

I need to upgrade too at some point.

My mate's take the piss and try to change the tv channels over with it.

I was in Harrogate this week and the hotel there had massive 14" TVs -the remote was the size of a book!

My mobile is sooooooo big

it hardly fits in my back pockets of my jeans.

(Quinni TK421 Isn't at his command post on, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 15:50, archived)

It might just be my age,

but I rarely give out my mobile number. If I am not answering my house phone or my work phone... It is because I'm too bloody busy!

House phone?

How quaint! ;) I'm just not in one place long enough to use landlines at all anymore.

I'm just a grump about mobiles

all manners gone out the window. If i was talking to a freind in a bar and someone just breezed up and yelled "talk to me instead, now!" we'd both tell them to naff off. But if a phone rings? A hand goes up to shut you up and it gets priority.

(

TheSundaeLunch I'm a fucking shrub, alright?, Sun 21 Nov 2010, 15:48, archived)

Oooh

Not with me. A phone is for my convenience, that's why it has an answer message. I too find that really rude, the same as the whole 'I'll be 15 minutes late' calling deal. Couldn't get away with it when you didn't have a mobile, shouldn't get away with it now.

(

I wish i had invested in a mobile company

the amount of times i hear "Just getting off the train, home in five minutes" calls. Why not just wait five minutes and say "I'm home" in person?

Personal contact is to be kept to a minimum please.

My faves are the 'I'm just outside now' ones, though I sometimes have to make those myself.

I still user PS6.

Then again, I had a 16-tx recording studio in my bedroom through the 90s but no CD player. I, too, heart mobile phones which are just phones.

My band had a saying: Technology delivers, sometimes.

Reminds me of a John Lasseter story

about his 3D short, 'Tin Toy'. The toy's head was reflective and of course the reflection was mathematically correct in reflecting its environment, but it just looked wrong. He had his team make the reflection of the head 4 white squares, like a balloon in a comic. it worked and looked right even though it couldn't have been more wrong.
