I've spent the day doing pretty much anything but actual work

So instead of working on the gazillion prints on my to do list I doodled a half-assed egocentric knight and this one eating ramen...

For some reason watching anime or k-drama always give me the worst ramen cravings. Speaking of which, i want me some noodles... now where did i put that pack again  【・_・?】

Yes, be jealous..he's fabulous

Chii

After putting it off for a week of so, it's finally done :D 

I thought hair would be long to color -cuz you know..I have no patience- but it was surprisingly fun and it didn't turn out half bad..right?

The reason I think I kept putting if off is because while drawing this, I kept on thinking/planning about other drawings and I was rushing half way through just to get it over with..so obviously I redrew everything since it wasn't... humm how do I put this? Presentable.

Other than that, I really want to do a couple originals before getting back to fan art, just because I have more freedom over the characters xD..yes I'm being lazy. Don't judge.

Oh and here are some squids くコ:彡 ＜コ：ミ くコ:彡

Yes everybody loves squids and I deemed it appropriate.. i'm so gonna regret this later..oh well

It's Chii!!   ლ(╹◡╹ლ)

Lining the sketch of a potential print. ..yeah nothing super exciting, it was mainly to test out the video quality（。-＿-。）

For HD watch it on Youtube! 




Tip: For smooth clean lines, use a single weighted stroke (take advantage of that pen pressure!) and not multiple light feathered strokes C:

Here's the video as promised, though it's only part of the whole process...for some reason I hadn't noticed that ScreenFlow had black screened most of the recording until I was editing > . <

Anyway this is what I managed to save :S.

I know the quality is horrible and it doesn't show much, but I promise I'll have a complete video with better quality for my next CG :]

Errr...I hate titles

Woohoo! First CG... well not really, but the first one I had the guts to finish.. and that's presentatble as well ^^;

I've also recorded the process so hopefully I'll get the video up by the end of the week, so keep an eye out! C:

Time: 2 days on and off ..aaand while watching anime/GoT

Dear Brain: Seriously?!?

It's 3 a.m.
I have to get up at 6
Go to sleep? Nope!
My brain decided we were gonna watch anime and draw all night long ._______.

PaintToolSAI :O

So today I filled in for a friend and spent 3hours in the company of super-brain-stimulating bratty 12-13 y.o. ._____. 

It was not fun. 

On a brighter note, I've finally managed to find a technique to counter the lack of pressure sensitivity on PaintToolSAI on my Mac! YAYY!! It's not the best solution, but it'll have to do for now... or until I get Parallels working >.<

Overall I really do prefer the more painting oriented brush settings of PTSAI ..and the scratchboard ..and the rotation slider (yes Jessie you heard me ROTATION SLIDER!!! Goodbye neck-twists and awkwardly angled tablets :D) 

Though I still switch back and forth between PTSAI and PS mainly because like it or not I still need pressure sensitivity on occasions, especially for the highlights.
