what is up?

The opposite of down?

sorry for the lack of updates... I seem to have gotten lost on the path of life...

well, it seems like I've finally gone out and found myself another anime to watch... Naruto, BELIEVE IT!!!

although it was a little difficult to get into at first I have to say that I'm really seeing why it's so popular... it's totally hilarious and awesome and thoroughly enthralling... what I really like about it is that it's so focused on character... you can really see the way that each character grows and progresses throughout, it's not just about the action although that's incredibly cool, but it's about the problems and challenges that each person faces and how they overcome them...you are there with them sharing their experiences and emotions, it gets you involved...and the comedy is just so foolish it's priceless... like seriously I laughed myself to tears this one episode,but I think that it's mostly based on the relationships between different characters and how they interact and react, plus the characters themselves are pretty humorous too...

the only problem that I think I have with it is the pacing... it takes forever to finish a story line... like seriously a single fight could take three whole episodes... that's an hour! I can quite literally watch it and work on something in the next window, because it's usually a monologue or flashback or just changing viewpoints... but I guess that's what makes it so easy to watch and so addicting it always keeps you guessing... like seriously there will be this huge important long sequence and poof! jutsu smoke and then end of the episode and you're just like... WHA...

sigh looks like I've also found another game to sap my time with... this one an nifty little rpg, one which I discovered while I was in mexico at the fresh age of 12... and I just found out that it's one of the earliest ones made by square enix(or squaresoft back then) no wonder I was so drawn to it. I Wonder how long it will last this time...

I think I'm coming down with an aircon cold... but I will try to post my recent artistic capers tomorrow at least...

cheers!

The Glitch playlist system tutorial

It has come to my attention that the playlist system on The Glitch is sorely lacking in the area of explanation... I've managed to figure it out... after much deliberation and frustration, so as to save you all the trouble I will post this short and hopefully simple tutorial on it...


It's actually quite simple... once you find the song you want click the + symbol in the corner up there(you may notice that "add 2 mystation" will flash next to "rate this song") then click on "my stations" and in the pop up window, type in the name of your new station in the type box under the middle panel then click "new" to create your new station. Select that and click on your song in the left panel and click "add to playlist"; from there it's pretty self explanatory... your new station will show up on the station list with the defaults to be used for whatever you wish!

Lulu from FFx-2 in real clothes(finally)

this is an illustration-fanart for my girlfriends fan fic "Love in Pain" I know you're used to seeing her in her traditional costume but... since the story is in a modern highschool setting(don't look at ME) I was requested to redo the costumes though still paying homage to the originals... after all would you go to school in something like that?

I don't think the pants work too well with the rest of the outfit now that I look at it... maybe leggings would have been a better choice...

Baralai from FFx-2 in real clothes

his style was requested to be "ghetto"(fail) with stoner eyes which I don't think I did too well... of course by the time I that I finally got around to finishing this the paper that was under them was pretty mucked up...finding the refs for him was hard enough... onion head!

many thanks to this:[link] by ~Baralai-Lovers

On the team

On The Team by ~freakdearts on deviantART

my third piece in the XN! finally I can post it...

In sports I don't really think that any one position is more important than the other all are just as needed...after all, where would a striker be without his midfield? (myself, I'm more of a support player) I really wanted to show that everyone on the team is a winner regardless of whether or not they shot the last goal

I could of done a different sport since soccer wasn't exactly specified, I even seriously considered american foot ball, but I chose this one because its international, team intense, and also one of my favorites to play... not to mention it's not every day that you get to draw a bicycle kick... (even if it is slightly incorrect) the action shots were rather a challenge to keep coherent as well...

the trophy is the final one they went with... not exactly my favorite but it's clearer... although it's a trophy, isn't it all supposed to be symbolic? or at least impressionistic

I rather liked working in greyscale... don't have to worry about color and you can focus more on shade and light... although it does look a little boring... sigh

Elements--Air

finally it is finished! I'm sorry for letting it take so long...


Elementals--Air by ~freakdearts on deviantART

finally this series is up... it's taken me through many different stages of my art and I've learned alot through it, light and shade shape and line... but I think this one is my favorite... of course I am an air sign so I ended with it so it would be the best... I'm really happy with the way it came out and the ease that it was accomplished with.

there were certain things that I wanted to keep consistent throughout this series... one was the size and portion of the faces, another including the hands of each element in the picture so as to give it a certain interest, another was their eyes, I used the same basic technique on them throughout, and their facepaint... the guys on their cheeks and the girls on their eyes... oh and the borders with their little graphics...I did these so as to make them all similar and connected despite the progression of my skills of my skills... so that they would at least look related... still I might redo this eventually... especially the fire one i cringe when I see it still
