oh the summer heat

oh man I am really getting tired and tired and tireder of work D: I mean I have a good pay but the day shift is KILLING ME. I go home and sleep till the next shift and draw nothing in between. I dont even have time to go check my emails & deviantart & facebook/hi5 stuffs.




I CANT WAIT FOR SUMMER TO GET THE FUCK OVER WITH




Anyone else having a perfectly boreass summer?




sob I havent been to the beach either D: I live right NEXT to the freaking sea and I STILL havent been for a swim.

I really need a [b]life[/b]




Commenting is slow but on the way kind folks

oh the summer heat

oh jesus the worse place to work during a public transport strike is the AIRPORT. D:
I never had such a bad week of overtime and constant dealing with upset people etc. But at least they resolved the strike and transport is back to normal.

And thanks to the over time I am a but closer to affording my CINTIQ tablet

(and I managed to sleep for 20 hours after that double nighshift on end. New record lol)


Meanwhile I started lifedrawing & manga classes I wanted a chanllenge and an excuse to take leave from work to secure some drawing time and learn something interesting.

I will now try to do my best to catch up with a week's worth of commenting :S

oh the summer heat

Oh hello everyone



Epxo is over. But it was great! As a result of the wacom stand I have officially started to save up for the cintiq tablet. JESUS CHRIST IT IS AMAZINGLY SEXY. And it will speed up my production by at least 3 fold.


Also as a result I'm up for commission work. CHEAP PRICES! Both traditional&digital available. Prices from euro 5-30. I am not expecting much interest but I try nevertheless

Sketches with pencil shadings, Traditional linearts, speedpaints are at 5 euros

Basic colouring, digital linearts(1500by1500 pixel min size ), basic watercolours at 10 euros

Polished colourings/with lineart, high detail watercolour and other tradional mediums on A4 paper at euro 20

Multicharacter highly finished pieces both traditional and digital at 30 euros.


Mode of payment is a bit complicated. After reading a couple of tutorials I have decided that I will use the half and half method, where on payment of half the amount i finish off half, show to user, if they like I continue and give them final product on payment of second half.

Also because of copyrights and stuff, I will be unable to accept comissions of existing characters from cartoons etc... or the copying of another artists work.

Meanwhile I havent tanned yet D: I look like a deskinned SHRIMP *sobs*

ANYONE ATTENDING THE EXPO, and who recognises me, come say HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. I am a hopless socialiser D: and I also suck at recognising you guys from DA. LOL

TODAY I HAD JUST COME OUT OF NIGHTSHIFT D:, so it was more of a zombiecon. I dont think I ever drank so much coffee in a day to keep awake D:



DA duties resume next sunday after the whole expo is over



WORK SUCKS. Cause it takes up most of my time D:

AND I JUST BLEW THE MAJORITY OF MY FIRST PAYCHECK ON COPICS (and a cute little red bikini with little red BOWS. I AM SUCH A SUCKER FOR BOWS.!)


I need the money yo D:
Sorry if it takes me a while to comment sometimes. I have limited internets access. Something is still wrong with my connection :/

OH anyone visiting the tradefair, go sya HIIIIIIIIII to mister Horace!


Hes on show right next to a ginormial venice painting at the member's exhebition.


MEANWHILE


The digital arts expo IN TWO FRIGGIN DAYS TIME

FIVE OF MY WORKS should be on show at the main gallery SHOULD the A1 prints come out fine. Im worried about that because stretching 800by800 pixel images to fit A1 at high resolution gave me veryvery pixellated images, which look fine when you look from afar, but blurry from near. LOOKING FOWARD <3

EDIT: PRINTS READY! I just have to mount them onto foamboards now, here are the deviantart versions of the artwork that will be on shown at the expo. The prints are A1 in size (GINORMIALLYHUGE):




OH SHIT NIGHTSHIFT D:

Something is really really wrong with my internet :S sometimes it works then suddenly it all slows down for a while. Restarting doesnt work either :/ Its probably something with my laptop though, my brother&father's computers internet hasnt wavered at all.






Meanwhile does anyone know where I can buy a MOLESKINE sketchbook on this goddamned island? The only shop I was told that sold them closed a year ago. I ordered one off play.com and Im itching to test it out. Ive heard these sketchbooks are gods especially with acrylics and inks. Thing is purchasing things off the internet is a bit of a hassle so if I can find moleskines for sale here it would be much easier.


And anyone know of a good sculpting clay that doesnt need/much baking? I'd like to start work on an experiment and sculptng the character involved might help me loosen up. I feel strangely blocked recently. Summer has just started and Im stiffer than ever. I hate art blockage


Meanwhil I hope youre all well, Im off to comment spree before my internet dies on me again :/
