it's seriously making me consider calling the suicide hotline instead. I wish I was drunk, or high, I've never done drugs but I'd fucking do crack just so I didn't have to deal with this. Maybe I'm just having a bad day...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c4WYzr30B0&playnext_from=TL&videos=CXkkSqZiOiA could something like this be extracted as a hi res image? It would put an interesting spin on art if I used it in my images
EDIT: I meant if you actually use fumefx w/ or w/o krakatoa to MAKE your own particle effects, then make an image file

you might have heard, but I am working on a webcomic, so expect that in a few months. A bit of info about it, there is going to be sex, but plot essential sex, and as for updating, it will probably be about once a week with an additional mini comic being updated every week as well. There will be male and female "porn", but I hope people don't just read it for because of that (who am I kidding)

Before ANYONE asks, there will be NO CAMEOS, NO CROSS OVERS, and hopefully only a small amount of FILLERS

when I get a site I'll post a link

to find decent pictures of strippers. Well, without actually going to a porn site =(

I'm getting mine in a few hours, can't wait =)

I have literally been unwatching 6+ people a day on FA, and I'm only being honest when I say that it's because I have standards on who I watch. This is not about hating people because of my perception of their quality of art, I unwatch people because I my submission inbox is pretty flooded as it is.

The people I DO HATE, though, are the crap artists charging $80 for "fully colored and shaded picture with a background". I see myself as a shit artist, but I charge what I think is fair and I DO NOT change prices until I feel I have made some sort of notable progress in my art. So when I say that I hate people who charge extra for stupid things like $40 dollars for inked and grayscaled works, then $50 dollars for inked and flat colors, and finally $60 for inked, flat colors and a background, I mean that I REALLY HATE them.

Well enough of my bitching, if people want to get screwed over for a pic that any reasonable artist wouldn't even dream of giving to a commissioner, then that's none of my business.

Yeah, so, every time I set my alarm, something seems to go wrong. This morning, when I woke up at 5:20, my speakers, mouse and keyboard were unplugged. Then, because the alarm is browser based, when I needed to wake up at 7:30, the sound for my browser is magically non existent. I should forget about upgrading my computer and focus on finding a fucking exorcist =P

upgrading my PC, but I have trouble telling one video card from another. I currently have a Radeon HD 2600 XT. Anyone have any suggestions for upgrades?

I bought a few thin linen gloves for my drawing hand when I use my tablet, the only problem is that they get dirty rather quickly, and I'm asking if anyone would know a more suitable material, something thing and not too abrasive or anything that has a lot of grip. Also, I only need my pinky and ring fingers covered, as well as the bottom of my hand.

this http://www.instructables.com/id/Jac.....er-Headphones/ , I want to try this, but I want a semi decent pair of headphones first so I get a good range of sound

only if it's something I want to draw, so make a guess as to what peaks my interest. Just send me a not or something
Edit: I was specifically asking for porn, but whatever

anthro anatomy is something that is hardly looked into. We all know what a wolf or cat anthro would look like on the outside, but in more mainstream art styles artists also learn what's inside, as well. I created a group on DA called "the furry anatomies", and every week I plan to have an "assignment" involving either the muscle anatomy and/or the skeletal anatomy of an anthro creature.

This isn't about "how to draw like this", it's about insight into a what I feel is a very under appreciated subject.

so tonight I was supposed to work on another promo for my sketch challenge thing, but my sister and her lesbian friend and her girlfriend dragged me out to a gay club, where I got a quick lap dance from one of the "women" on amatuer night. Afterwords we spent some time at a hookah bar, and then we did all sorts of stupid shit, like having one lesbian sit on the other lesbian while driving, and then ordering at McDonalds and yelling at the guy to give us 6 cheese hamburgers. Anyways, I haven't slept in over two days and I'm about to pass out, so I'm having a little trouble telling the story right, so I really need to get some sleep

as stated above, my paint tool sai has been crashing a lot, saying that there's not enough memory. if I'm lucky it just won't perform the action I was trying to do, but if I'm unlucky then that action might be something as simple as saving the file. It also tends to "glitch" the canvas a lot, which means that I can't save it anyways or I'll lose all previous progress.

a bit of info
the installer was the unofficial english pack demo, but I bought the official certificate and applied it to that

I need someone to play with, all these servers are so empty, my steam user name is Seth Iova

I've seen a few artists doing this, but if I did it would anyone be interested? I'm not talking about my usual sketches but more refined and fleshed out. If anyone's interested send a note and we'll work stuff out. Also, I'd like to post these on DA, but it's your commission
Sketches are $10
paypal is seth_iova[at]yahoo.com

you MUST sent me reference pics, or at the least a descrition

you will not receive your picture until it is payed for

and I put this on my alternative art account  LittleRavenPrince but if you want something that I'm not comfortable with, i.e. Cub, inflation, TF, Muscle growth, non-morph and similar interests, I'll have to charge you extra depending on how uncomfortable I am with it

it's not that I want to put people with those interests down, it's just that I'm honestly not comfortable with it

if you have any questions or comments just reply or send me a PM

Pretty depressing, I've known jess for almost 3 years and to hear her crying because she feels like shit everytime she logs off, yet she's done this month after month until she's just so burnt out that she has to stop. The guild might not even make it after she leaves.

If this guild disbands or falls apart I'm going to probably quite too, it's not a guild of 14 year old kids, it's people I've grown close too and if I'm not in this guild any more I'm not going to talk to them anymore, and these are the ONLY people I talk to AT ALL. I'm an INTROVERT, I'm SHY and I don't TALK MUCH yet I open up to these people. I don't have any friends on FA, that's not a complaint, that's just how it is. I have acquaintances that I talk to maybe once a month if that.

What I'm trying to say is that this is a big deal not just for me but everyone else in this guild, and if you think that it's just a game then you misunderstood what I'm saying in this journal. I'm sad that that my friend, who has literally put the guild ahead of herself, is pushed to the point where she has to do this, and I'm worried that I'm not going to have people in my life that I've talked to 4 days a week every week since I was in high school.

I think this is the first time I've seriously talked about myself here, and I'm not going to make a habit of it. I just want to put this here so I can look back on how I felt today.

It burns so much and yet I can't stop!

Every artist has a piece (or two) that they're ridiculously proud of, yet never get recognized. The same can be said for the opposite as well! So here's a chance to let the artists talk about the pieces they have over or under appreciated.
List the pieces that you adore and find are under recognized, and the pieces that you hate and are over recognized!

I love these pieces, but you don't!

one of the few pictures of one of my favorite OC's. at the time I was really focused on my line art, and while I still am, I try to do my best on color too

messed up proportions aside, this one was a defining picture for the character

I don't really dislike these pictures, I just dislike the number of times I had to redraw them because I felt I was doing a terrible job
