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

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

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

A Big Thanks for Thanksgiving!

Mon Nov 28, 2011, 6:24 AM

Mood: Winter Downs
Listening to: Loreena McKennitt
Reading: Richard Heinberg: The End of Growth
Watching: A Game of Thrones, Season 1
Eating: Steak-and-kidney pie
Drinking: Green tea

Just to match the current fall weather, here are a few fog and mist inspired pieces.

:thumb263727645:

I've rarely been as thankful for a long weekend as I have been for this one. With both mine and my husband's families living back in Europe, my Christmas shopping usually out of the way by the end of October and overall very few consumerist bones in my body I find one of the most stressful US holidays extremely relaxing. I made a huge steak-and-kidney pie to last a few days (my husband supplied the very yummy Yorkshire puddings to go with it!) and then simply settled in for four days of beading and drawing.

While other folks flew half across the country to fight with in-laws over overcooked turkey, or pepper-sprayed each other at three in the morning at Walmart over doorbuster-priced X-boxes I finished my latest commission and two and a half lovely bracelets interspersed with a bit of running and a few projects around the house.

Hope everyone here also had one of the good Thanksgivings - not one of those that end up in the news. And for everyone non-US, hope you had a good weekend!

A Big Thanks for Thanksgiving!by *Ellygator

Journals / Personal

*Riabhach Nov 28, 2011 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

mine was good - relaxing - sad - my nice neighbor lady moved out but she is happy to be moving to Las Vegas - I will miss her but can't take away her happiness cause I am sad. I spent some time with my folks, got snuggles with my cat - so it was great - could use more days! ahahah Sounds like yours was perfect!

*Ellygator Dec 3, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

That's always a bummer. We lost some good neighbors up and down the street over the past 10 years. Always sad when you've had good times. Still I'm glad you did get in some down-time!

*ArdenEllenNixon Nov 28, 2011

I'm delighted that you had such a delightful weekend, Elly! We spent four days bumming around the house, with my culinary pirate in charge of Thanksgiving dinner (roast duck). He didn't set foot outside the house from Wednesday evening until Sunday night, and I only left for my traditional morning iced coffee run. Also, thanks to Nicholas being home to order me to NOT do anything (instead of, say, helping the landlord hang doors, which I did), I dare say I'm finally on the way to beating "The Cold That Wouldn't Die!"

*Ellygator Dec 3, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Hmmmmm, now I'm drooling. Roast duck is one of my absolute favorites. That alone already makes for a good Thanksgiving in my books. I am also glad you got some needed rest to recover.

I am now looking back on my four days of heaven with nostalgia. On Thursday my client "promoted" me to project manager on a rather effed-up project that I had been on just to help with training and communications. Now that I'm responsible for the whole thing, I think my life over the next few months will become the bad kind of interesting...

I am still in the design stage of your Aten commish - meaning I have a lovely paper cartoon all ready, but have not yet put craft-knife to clay. I am hoping to get a move on next weekend, but if you do have some kind of time commitments for her gift, please don't be shy to let me know. I am always ready to let you have the current one (maybe with the drop replaced by an ankh), and make myself up a replacement when I do have a little more time.

*ArdenEllenNixon Dec 4, 2011

Elly, my friend, there's no need to stress over the Aten. Jenna and I have a running joke that we're on time for everything except mailing gifts to each other (mine have shown up in February, for example). Any tardiness will more than be made up by your lovely creation, whichever one it ends up being, so please don't fret on my account.

I am glad that you've been promoted, less so that it isn't a promotion so much as a "Ah, crap, really?" move. Still, it is work, and I've often thought of something you said months ago, about having waited so long for work that you don't want to say no to anything. I'm desperate to paint for myself, but I don't want to say no to any commission opportunities. I don't know whether you had the option of accepting said "promotion," but at least it will be... lucrative misery? Dang, I'm not sure I can spin that one positively for you!

*Ellygator Dec 11, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

LOL! I am very glad for the money and the sense of security it gives. I also think I'd feel better about the project if I hadn't been given something that feels like an unwinnable scenario. No option to take the time this really needs to be done right. When I think about the challenge the image that comes to mind is performing appendectomy on a marathon runner while he's in a race. Not a pretty picture, and if the poor chap dies under the procedure I'll be the one who gets blamed. Enough to keep a girl up at night...

*ArdenEllenNixon Dec 14, 2011

Perhaps you should adopt the medieval methods, where you get paid regardless of the outcomes and get to hide your true identity behind a bird mask. Maybe not so much at the office, though....

*Ellygator Dec 15, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Ha, I thought being at top exec would also do the trick - they also get paid regardless of the outcomes. In fact they get even more apparently when the outcomes are BAD!

Should try the bird mask - I just got saddled with a totally stressful project from my client - this would be a good way to hide!

*ArdenEllenNixon Dec 15, 2011

In all seriousness, I think that you could make an excellent bird mask, or long-nosed Carnivale mask. A thought for next Halloween, perhaps?

*Ellygator Dec 18, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

That would be fun. The peacock masks used just store-bought plastic half-masks as their basis, but I had a ton of fun with paper mache for the Deatheater masks, maybe I'll break out the old glue and newspaper again...
