/. News

I have some news I suppose. I just finished some work on a 3D character on the mod Ruiner that I have been working on. Development seems to be moving well with that mod, I'm pretty happy with the talented team I'm with!
I also just ordered a couple of DVDs to help me with my struggle to teach myself digital painting. Check it out:

This one by Chet ZAR: http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/cza01.html It looks to be pretty promising in the way of painting some line-art purely in Photoshop, which is what I've been looking for. Most DVDs, especially at the Gnomon Workshop, seem to only do Photoshop and Corel Painter. I don't have Corel Painter, and I don't plan on getting the software, so I'd rather just stick to Photoshop for now.

And this one by Keith Thompson: http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/kth01.html I've seen a lot of Keith Thompson's art in books that I own and at his website. He's a very talented artist, and the way that he pencil sketches looks strongly similar to the way I do it (purely coincidence), so besides him just being a great artist (which he definitely is), the similar drawing style attracted me to the DVD he created.

I'm counting the seconds by until these two DVDs arrive, I've been waiting to learn how to paint for quite a while (especially digitally)... In fact I've wanted to since ideas started popping in my head... So basically the moment I split into two atoms is the first time in which I wanted to paint.
I have more updates to post, but it's late and I have to get up tomorrow! So goodnight!
