Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu
(the song is Tenkuu no Canaria, from ToS *w*b)

Design Contest WIN 4000 POINTS, 20$ AND MORE!I've wanted to hold a design contest for a long time now, and finally I've gathered enough points to do it

Go here to browse entries: http://taravia.deviantart.com/favourites/55430170
What I'm looking for:
Everything! Wolves, foxes, fennec foxes, ferrets, servals, bobcats, tigers, other big cats, small cats, deers, dragons, gryphons, dogs, birds, hybrids, original species.. bring it!
I'm leaving the details to your imagination, but here are some things I really like:
-White base color with black and red markings<33 (mostly on canines)
-Cute and fluffy things! No need to go all big eyes and oversized heads, but animals with fur. Creepy and slimy things just aren't my thing.. Still don't be afraid to make something dark/evil
-Anything tribal
-Native american stuff
-Feathers!
-Tawny, golden, brown, white, red, blue, cyan, gray, black (well, not all combined)
-I like more natural base colors, but with smaller markings in unnatural colors like blue or red
-Long tails, big/long

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you finally made the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean more quality to the paintings, am i right?.
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast. Then only to realize you only have total control of the brush but when you are moving it really slow?. But when you do quick strokes the pressure drops a lot of paint making you redraw tons of stuff?
Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.
Have you ever open the customize option in wacom settings, only to feel dumb and no

2010 - Looking Ahead

Sat Jan 9, 2010, 9:18 AM

Mood: Relief
Listening to: John Serrie
Reading: Tintenherz
Watching: Good Eats!
Playing: Staying warm!
Eating: Celery stalks (diet time!)
Drinking: Green Chai

Before we get started, a quick acknowledgment of a fictitious birthday. If Nagini hadn't felt particularly peckish on that fateful night in spring, Severus Snape would have turned 50 today. Happy Birthday, Severus!

And just to show the bandwidth of inspiration from romantic to tragical to comical, here are some of my Severus faves. The man surely has become a cultural icon since he first snarled and stalked his way into our collective hearts and into Harry's nightmares in "The Philosopher's Stone"

Well, I for one have to admit that I am happy to see 2009 over and done with. The year saw my business nearly tank, the cancer-diagnosis of a relative, money worries out the wazoo, too many sleepless nights, zero vacations, a total write-off of my old car and an accident of my brand-new car. I know some folks here have been through much worse, but I really am glad to have the last 12 months over and done with.

Art-wise not much happened, except that I have had less time for it than I would have wished. I did make some good advances in beadwork, including some ambitious brick-stitch and 3D projects and the whole series of Shoowa bracelets. Drawing stalled a little - I had time for some HP fan-art, but nothing on the scale of my tarot - as did my silver-clay work, and I didn't make a single art glass bead or decent stained glass project all year!

I would like to announce here with a flourish, that I have marvelous and ambitious projects planned for 2010, but I'd be lying. And we all know what they say about resolutions and good intentions - flagstones on the road to hell, all of them. So I will just see what I can get up to. All I can promise is that I have some nice knot-work ideas for silver-clay, that HP fan-art is not dead yet, even though I seem to have taken quite a break these past few months, and that I have some cool patterns planned out for more beadwork.

* If you ask me to make artwork available as a print, please check if it uses copyrighted material. DA will not take print submissions that are based on such materials. This means, no prints of drawings based on movies or TV shows like the Harry Potter Movies, Brokeback Mountain, CSI etc. If you want a drawing as a print please note me instead.

~ElenaTria Jan 10, 2010

Oh I'm wishing you the best for this new year...

Thanks for featuring my work once again.

It really doesn't feel nice when you don't have inspiration or the time to draw...

*Ellygator Jan 10, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

You are very welcome. I hope you have a good year, too. It was depressing to hear about all the bad news from Greece with first all the fires in 2008 and then all the unrest and civil unhappiness in 2009 (I know the news stations always report the worst, not the best, but still...)

Hope we can get some good art out there in 2010!

~tapena Jan 10, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

thanks for the pics

and I hope you have a much better new year!

*Ellygator Jan 10, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Thank you! Same to you!

~tapena Jan 10, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

*tavington Jan 10, 2010 Professional Traditional Artist

Here's wishing you an awesome 2010!
I'm sorry to hear all the troubles you had last year and I know how frustrating it is when you don't seem to get the time to do anything.

If you're ever in London and have some time to spare, give me a holler and I'll come down to meet you!

*Ellygator Jan 10, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Will do! It was easier with my former employer, because they had offices in London, but you never know!

~Alzirr Jan 10, 2010

Ah, Sev's birthday! It will sound crazy, but I almost forgot that he died, because in my version of things he is saved and we live happily ever after

I'm too much of an optimist, duh...

And yes, 2010... I hope this year will be better for everyone, especially you. I lost hope concerning my own art, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

You're so talented, in so many ways...

*Ellygator Jan 10, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Hey, I can live with the idea of a surviving Snape! I think he deserved to live!

~Alzirr Jan 11, 2010

Well, I just thought Dumbledore might want to pay his debts, and so in the last moment Fawkes appears and sheds his healing tears onto Snape's neck

...damn, I wish this was the canon version
