The time when u discover...ur just talkin 2 urself

It's that time again folks!
For another one of my journal post, notice thingies

I'm proud to be a part of the team of artists who run
That group is like one of the most productive and busiest groups I've ever joined,
and I support their message of "all-inclusive creativity" all the way

Unfortunately, I'm unable to be of much help due to all kinds of developments/
circumstances going on in my life. Heck, I don't even get enough time to try to
even run my own group, ! But I'm glad I was able to create it
when I had the chance and I am so proud and happy for all the artists who have
joined me so far. I opened the group with great expectations and I need to put a
lot of work into it so that the members can truly appreciate the dynamics. So,
even though there is much left to be seen, just know that the possibility is always
there. I am but one person with many ideas I'd like to materialize, but I can't do
them all at once, as much as I'd want too...I simply can't.

As I had told the lovely head-admin of ,
I needed to get a new computer so that I can continue to be of service
on DA. That was probably more than 4 months ago...and it still stands

What I originally wanted to write in this journal post, didn't have much of anything to
do with the groups, but I thought I'd make mention, to at least show some level
of consideration. So to all the groups and people who support me on DA, I say ~


Anyways, I've come to realize I seriously need another computer to use newer
software applications, like Corel Painter 12...

My Win7 system rating is 4.7 (based on my graphics performance) and still I get all
this lag when trying paint something in that software. So I've resolved to stop searching
and trying out alternative software until I get a new PC.

Why would I talk about this here?

Well I simply wanted to indicate that from this point forward (until further notice)
all CG Arts being produced with my current specs, will be usually be done using
Autodesk Sketchbook Designer and Adobe Photoshop CS6.

I have found of ways, though various means of working seamlessly with both,
although there are set backs, like losing the vector quality of my line arts in SBD,
they both work so well and so fast, I don't know if I'll ever want to use Paint Tool Sai
again

I like PTS a whole lot too, I even planned on making a tutorial for it to feature
here on my DA accout, but working with it is slow compared to how fast I can
do pretty much the same thing in SBD. The only thing SBD doesn't do all too
well is modifying selections. Photoshop is "King" of working with selections
and applying colors (I stress on) accurately.

Truth be told, I'd do everything in PS if not for the smart vectoring system of SBD
(not to mention the file compression it offers)
So one makes up for what the other one lacks, and vice-versa.

And what about the all that manga...I said I was doing?

Well it just so happens that I got myself a copy of Manga Studio 5...
I've yet to install and run it.

Despite that, I'll keep those developments hush-hush,
so just enjoy the random deviations I post every now and then...
(usually on a Sunday )
