Astray - Dezzia inking fun by ~lenneth on deviantART

Maybe someday XD

In unrelated news... my husband bought me a Snuggie. It may well be one of the best. things. ever. And yes, it is pink.

In work news... work sucks. >_> I'm pretty worn out, ready for the holidays to be over, and I can get caught up on stuff in the office.

astray, my art

Your inking is like a million times better than mine! Awesome job, it looks like it came from a comic book. I still owe you something..if I can break away from my stupid LJ icon making and nerdy LOST shit xD

And yay for snuggies! I bought one for dawn as a gag gift..but I could use one myself haha, and hers is pink too!

Hope work goes better for you, can't say it's any better on my end. Damn retail and the holidays :/

Oh you're lurking on LJ again nao... I cannot keep track of where you're actually spending time these days XD Of course, all my LJ time lately has been spent in picspam it seems.. >_>

I keep thinking I need to add Lost to my neflix queue.. just gotta convince the husband :P We're almost done with Sopranos and BSG, gotta add something new, besides Mythbusters.

Retail sux.

Oh, glad you like the pic lol :D thanks! I am very pleased with the custom inking pen I made today. Makes my stuff look slick, mwahaha.

I know..I'm kinda like..all over nowadays. At least until classes start back up haha. And yea picspams are awesome..I am fulfilling my nerdyness by making tons.

And YESSS you MUST rent LOST so we can SQUEEEEE together. I'm like giddy for season 6 and all this icon making/picspaming is keeping my withdrawls in check for now >_>

I didn't know that was a custom brush! I thought it was..like a real ink pen haha. It's fab!!

Lolololol that is indeed a digital brush >XD *proud* Thank you! I think I read that you got Painter XI, too? I can post the settings if you wanna give it a try sometime :)

I hope you're enjoying your break... you needed it!

I may skip the whole "convince the husband" part and accidentally have it slip into the queue.. whoopsie!

It's very uh... comic-booky, for lack of a better word! I think it looks great :)

If I don't catch you around, hope you have a wonderful holiday season... aside from the work stress of course!

Every time I think "well this can't possibly get worse, can it" at this new store, it does :P It's amazing. I just can't believe it.

Happy (partially belated) Holidays to you, too :) Hopefully I can get back to my semi-social online status soon >_> I've been enjoying reading your bits on XIII so far :D

Nice, very nice. I love elves <3

Ever use the program SAI? I swear it's like you're drawing on paper, and it also has nice brushes. I found photoshop to not always be as accurate with my strokes, I've noticed. But SAI holds the pen more steady and fixes those kind of mistakes, I've noticed.

I don't really like drawing in PS very much either.. which is what made me re-create the nice PS brush I found in Painter. Glad you like the pic ^^

I'd never heard of SAI, and of course my natural curious instinct to try any art program I can find demanded I seek it out and download it! I'll install it later and give it a whirl, thanks for the heads up!
