Then.. there was this. It started out as Thor.
Forgive me Robert Downy Jr. I swear, I liked you before Iron Man in “Only You”! You just…didn’t have that awesome beard.
It was definitely a lovely vacation but now it’s time to get back to slaving away work. Supercon is in a month so prints,charms and displays must be done and commissions are due.
I got to get some fun in as a warm up. You know how it goes.

I just went back through over 900 liked posts and dug out all the art tutorials so i can keep track of them. I guess this might be helpful to some of you guys, so here you go.
Here we go then!
Freeware
Alchemy - this is a really fun program. You play around making abstract shapes until you start to see something in them, kind of like a Rorschach test. Then you use the shapes as a base to draw it from.
MyPaint - a pretty decent painting program that also has the benefit of working on Unix systems.
openCanvas 1.1 - I haven’t used openCanvas in years but it was a nice program with a pretty unique feel to it.
ArtRage - Only used this a couple of times donkey’s years ago just before I got oC, but I’ve heard good things about it.
The GIMP - In a similar vein to Photoshop, but free. I couldn’t get on with it when I tried it out a few years ago, but it’s pretty popular and is available on Unix systems and Macs.Sketchbook copic: a bit different program
Not-free-ware
Photoshop - Standard painting fare. Probably the most flexible program (particularly the latest versions) but not designed to act in a “natural” way. If you’ve used it for painting versus something like Painter you know what I mean. Who the fuck pays for it though? Google “Photoshop tumblr masterpost” and take your pick.
Paint Tool Sai - Far more affordable and definitely worth paying for if you can. The brushes are very decent (especially when they’ve been tweaked a little), the gui is simple and intuitive, and I dare you to find a program with which making smooth lineart is easier.
Corel Painter - My program of choice for most things. More tools than you could ever possibly use and pretty cheap on a student license, providing that you can prove you’re a student! It’s got a few bugs but if you want realism or a more natural feel than PS or SAI this is the program for you.Anatomy

Operation Star Wars Weekend was a success! I wish I could’ve stayed longer! I loved it so much and I loved meeting my fellow SWTOR guildies! They were EPIC!
Disney World bound for Star Wars Weekend with some guildies from Jen’jidai and my two favorite Canadians.
Yay! OC Pony drawings! I know there is a Carebear or something named Loyal Heart, but.. FUCK THE CAREBEARS! That’s right. Up the butt! I didn’t want a artist pony so… I took my best trait - which is pretty much loyalty/passion, etc.

It’s not often I get to draw Lune. I really just wanted to doodle a different expression on her other than the snarky grin. Don’t mind the super long torso. It was just a doodle I never returned to.
I also had that one song stuck in my head - the same line repeating over…and over and over! Make it stop. OH GOD! IT’S STARTING AGAIN!
Everyday I’m shuffelin!
Quick! A new song….
Gonna dress you up in my love!
