Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you finally made the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean more quality to the paintings, am i right?.
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast. Then only to realize you only have total control of the brush but when you are moving it really slow?. But when you do quick strokes the pressure drops a lot of paint making you redraw tons of stuff?
Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.
Have you ever open the customize option in wacom settings, only to feel dumb and no

Sundays with Pessimism

Journal Entry: Sun Aug 23, 2009, 9:23 AM

BY THE WAY I have editted this journal about 18 times (for spelling and grammar mostly, lol) and every time I make sure that the edit is MINOR. But it doesn't seem like DA understands minor edits. Does this show up in your devwatch like a million times?

EDIT EDIT;
I'll make this more productive:
NYAF and NYCC have amazingly high table rates. NYCC not so much, since 60k people attend, but then it's basically the same amount of money for a NYAF table??? And NYAF has less than 20k. If you've attended either as an exhibitor: are they worth it? NYCC I'd imagine so, for the industry connections and all that but NYAF? That's some expensive shit for a dinky little animu convention.

No internet for a week made me want to come back and whine, I guess.

EDIT;
you know what
FUCK IT.

We're all going to be fine.
We're going to work hard and be artists and make money, even if it's not as much as we thought, and we'll be happier in the long run.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHhhhhhhh

I don't think it's just the artist that art struggling with jobs. Where I live A LOT of people are jobless, and not just the artist. As for the worth of an Artist's diploma I can't really compare it to a normal degree, since I know so little. Right now I'm a senior in highschool and I'm wanting to go to an art school because honestly I can't see myself doing ANYTHING else. Where I'm going though they have a 98% placement rate after graduation so I'm hoping that by the time my four years are over I'll have improved my art and will have found myself a good stable job D;

I believe if you have confidence in yourself then everything will work out. But that may just be my optimism :3

~leaunoire Aug 23, 2009

Your optimism is probably really important. I know it sounds hippie dippy and really weird, but it always does seem like you (hypothetical, general you not specific you) get what you expect to get.

!XxMikaruxX Aug 23, 2009 Student Digital Artist

I believe that 100% Mainly because it's the way things have worked for me before Haha.

Anyways I hope I helped you a little bit <3
