Hi everyone, sorry for the silence! I relocated to Turku (Finland) for the summer and started a new (night time) job. I’ll get to move to my new apartment on June 1st. Until then, I’m hanging out at my parents’. And no matter how much I wish I was a “wherever I lay my hat there’s my home” type of person, I can’t help being more of a “wherever I build my nest, hang my posters, set up my work space, color coordinate my textiles and obsessive compulsively arrange my books” type. So until I get to my new home, I’m on a bit of a hiatus.

Also, Arrested development will be on Netflix tomorrow, so I’m probably gonna have to stream the whole thing on one sitting :’D

    What the city is missing: Thierry Cohen photographs cityscapes and then photographs deserts at night, combing the two to show us what our cities would look like with the lights off. The stars are not enhanced, they are actual photos from relative latitudes that would expose the same starry sky view if it weren’t for light pollution. Click on each photo to see which city it is.

    Light pollution and pollution in general

  • Taking some quick sketching breaks from projectsss. OCs from Amariah! I need to draw these guys more often!

    I’ve been making some new brushes while constructing the brush setting tutorials (I think I might have two more up next week), and this sketch brush I made for Dual Brush tutorial has become my absolute favorite! Combining that lovely brush and my darling new tablet..ah, digital sketching <3

  • I kinda feel like I should keep my mouth shut, because I seem to be good at jinxing stuff, but I’m going to tell this anyway: ROUGH SKETCHES FOR CHAPTER 1 OF AMARIAH ARE PRETTY MUCH DONE!! Inspired by Ava’s Demon, I decided to do it all digitally and in color (instead of the original plan of A4 traditionally inked pages), and in a 1 or 2 panels per page type of format. As soon as I get my new tablet monitor I’m going to start inking and coloring the pages, and when chapter 1 is finished and chapter 2 sketched, I think I’m ready to launch the comic :)

    This’ll be an exciting summer! Yaaaay!

  • Actually the Yiynova reviews are kinda winnign me over…

    …even though the website of the company is absolutely horrible. Hmm. HMM. I might actually choose the Yiynova MSP19U over the Cintiq.
