I must say I\"m also a fan of that purple greebly picture especially for the colouring I\"d be very interested to see a breakdown of how you do your colouring/shading as its one of your artwork\'s more remarkable features

and dear gods man... you did that big blokes picture with a mouse!?!? I\"m lucky if I can hit text boxes with mine, you must have the wrists of a sharpshooter.

Gods of spelling, I stand AGAINST YOU!

Thanks Kintall. I always thought I suck at colouring. :) Basically it comes down to adding a layer for colour and another for highlights. Maybe I can be caught in a oC session sometimes... but generally I\'m too shy for that. :)

Indeed, I switched to XP this christmas, and haven\'t yet found working drivers for my tablet. :I All drawings since have been mouse only. I occasionally miss the close/maximize buttons too, but rather because of lack of concentration than because of mouse. When fully engaged, I can write quite readable text with mouse. Some may even recognize my handwriting. Still it\'s not as speedy as it would be with a pencil.

Another thing I like in a mouse is the wheel. I currently have zoom assigned to mouse wheel, while shift+wheel controls brush size, ctrl+wheel brush opacity and alt+wheel brush hardness. Wheel drag is assigned to move view. (If somebody knows how to change the RMB functionality in Gimp, I\'d be grateful to know.)

I adore that >:D

What kind of tablet do you have, Cherppow? Though you might\'ve already mentioned it before... hm.

Hi there and thanks for the comments.

To Karyuu: My tablet is an old Wacom PenPartner 1998. :) It\'s 4\"x 5\" in size and connects to the serial port. *finds a picture* How about your tablet?

http://www.tablettes.fr/group.html?GroupID=61&ItemID=-1
The middle picture with the hairy hand is the exact one.

Making me search for pictures also sent me to Wacom\'s asian homepage, from where a working instance of XP drivers were extracted. \\o/ They\'re even nicer than the defaults, more customizable (in addition to that they work).

Must... draw...

\"Amidst the windy plains, a man stood perfectly still.\"

Here is also the above pic as an openCanvas event file (415kb). It may give a better view of my colouring style for those interested. My first event file ever, so please be gentle.

*edits*

To JellyWerker: Greetings! You can use it as you wish, as long as you don\'t sell it. :) Very polite of you to ask. Unfortunately that is the working resolution, so I don\'t have a bigger version. I had Win98 before, but it was getting old. Began to have compatibility issues with new hardware, such as cellphones. Thus moved on to XP.

*double edit*

While no one was watching a moosey moose sneaked in to the forums.

oC event file.

Wolltip moose -
I imagined it as peaceful herbivore, trekking the plains of Yliakum in small herds. It\'s main nutrition would be grass and leaves, but it also likes certain roots and mushrooms. They would most likely be quite shy and flee at any sight of possible danger.

That\'s pretty cool, mind if it becomes my next background?

Also, may I ask why you switched to xp?

Oh come now we are not that bad. They do say though that people are afraid of what they don\'t understand. Well I think that is the case for men. :P

Aww. *pats zorbels on the shoulder* You\'re correct of course, girls are all right. It\'s rather my character who is still a bit unaccustomed.


Maybe you can forgive him?

Girls ARE scary sometimes...
I\'ve talked to some girls once, and I make a very innocent remark, nothing offensive... and then they shoot me a look that looks like they\'re about to kill me....

What I\'m scared about the most is those girls who plot and lead you into traps, and then they have you cornered like an animal waiting for the slaughter....

BUT I have known some nice girls... and I talk to them alot, and we become good friends, but I think some of my fellow men are immature because they start, uh... you know...(jeff has a girlfriend! *friends point and laugh at me)

WELL
What I think to be the most dangerous thing about knowing girls, is a problem caused by the combination of your guy-friends and girl-friends, is that they ALWAYS seem to want you to choose between one or the other. Its either you hang out with your gilr-friends, or your guy-friends.

Why can\'t guys and girls intermingle in friendships?

PS: don\'t hate me
