I’m sorry if you’ve been trying to reach me. I’ve been busy. I have a couple commissions I haven’t finished and I’m picking up the slack for some brat who abandoned us out of boredom at my RL job (inoright?).

Derp.

This entry is about t-squares, and I’m very particular about them. My favorite t-square broke about a year or so ago, and it’s been a little hard to replace. I found it again today though!

C-Thru JR-12 T-square (sometimes called Junior T-square)

I like this kind of t-square because it’s not too big for comics (12”), it’s extremely portable (I rarely work at a desk), and it’s transparent (almost essential). I wont use anything else, to be honest. When I found it again today, I had to buy 2.

If you need this all this awesome in your life, you can buy it here. Occasionally, you’ll see it at a Michael’s or a Jo Ann’s craft store. But you’re more likely to find t-square variety at an independant art store or here on the interents.

Moar art, less walls of text! Draw what you want to say! You know you want to!

(The hypocrite writing this will resolve to do this too… ._____. )

Finally!

Kefka: Why so serious?

I’ve been accumulating DS games this past year. Some I’ve beat, some I’ve lost track of. Here’s my collection; it’s not big but can you see a trend in the kind of games I like?

• Final Fantasy IV DS (finished!)
• Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (just started)
• Hoshigami Remix (restarted a few times… this is a difficult game.)
• Luminous Arc (I’m near the end but keep putting it off)
• Super Mario Bros DS (play when I get tired of strategy)
• Harvest Moon DS Cute (just started)
• Rhapsody (Just started… hey, wasn’t this a tactical rpg when it was on PS1?)
• Princess Debut (oh man… it’s hard to admit I have this. It’s really fun though. Beat it once, and playing a second time)

Also game recommendations appreciated :>

Abusing my blog to send this to a friend.

I’m interupting this blog in order to point to this giant elephant.

My wall-of-text days are long since over, so I’ll just let the rest of the internet do it.

I usually don’t comment on this sort of thing, because it’s not really what I’m involved in, but this new request from PETA is just silly.

Of course, common sense, heavily-ingrained agricultural societies, and western cultural boundries are just temporary annoyances; make way for PETA and drink yo’ momma’s milk.

This is to top off a few weeks ago when PETA basically said all mexicans should stay in mexico so they can live off a diet of white-romantisized non-lethal tortillas.

If these were jokes, they would be funny. But they’re true requests. I don’t hate PETA and I don’t hate animals, but whoever is spearheading recent campaigns may as well start saying “Let them eat cake!”

DURR HURRR YAYYYYY (I’m a few days late on this news, sorry)

The article states that Cecil will be able to switch back and forth from Dark Knight and Paladin. OMG Hax out of context much?

So far, I am unable to find any character designs of the two (perhaps yet to be released). Thanks Wikipedia:

In any case, it is only a matter of time before Terra and Kefka are confirmed, amirite? Well you’d be surprized how much messege boards like to argue that it wont be them… Captain obvious needs to pay them a visit.

Trying the wp upload thing. Kinda sucks…

You don’t need Photoshop for digitial painting. At the bare minimum, you would need layers and anti-aliasing, which is basically someone’s Oekaki install.

If you’re looking for something more advanced than that, here are some moar free tool options:

• Aviary - Like a web-based Creative Suite. You can save your big layered work right on the intertubes.
• Splashup - Web-based Photoshop-like application for your browser. Looks a lot like Aviary.
• GIMP - Opensource Photoshop-like application for Windows. (Mac version here)
• Seashore - A very light opensource Photoshop-like application for Mac-only.
