Engaged

1 min read
While my apologies to my viewers and friends for being somewhat nonexistent here of late. Many reasons and excuses I'm sure are the cause of this but none more so than for me the happiest news that I am engaged : )

I have several pics I've been promising to upload for some time now and I always seem to be busy or am no where near my computer when I have some free time. Despite this jovial news, I do plan on somehow getting back into the Dev Art scene and get some new projects up. Thank you to everyone who has taken an interest in my works and gallery and thank you to those who still read these journals!

Unfortunately for me, I won't be posting anything new for a while. I've lost one of my computers and so I'm currently unable to scan anything now. It's a major frustration and inconvenience. I do have a couple pics I haven't coloured yet so I have at least something I can do eventually but for now my time is spent on a project that might pan into something big and thankfully for me doesn't require a scanner. Sorry and thank you to everyone who still watch me and listen in from time to time : )

Also, I wanted to say sorry to anyone I haven't thanked or responded to as I've been getting behind in my messages due to work and other distractions. Thanks again for your interest  : )

DownSHIFT!

1 min read
Well, DownSHIFT! is beginning it's comeback. For those of you who don't know what DownSHIFT! is, its a web comic I used to do with friends. We lost the server and all of the backups and its been on hiatus ever since. I'd like to rebuild a web page for it but until then, I'm slowly rebuilding the archive here on Deviant Art. At the time of this posting, I've only posted the first 20 comics but I hope to get the rest up within the week. I have a few new scripts and Ian is writing again so hopefully we'll get something going again sooner than later.


With the new Forward and Back options above each image/comic now, you can easily navigate through the archive. To start at the beginning, Click here

Note: Please forgive the initial crapiness of the comic. It was done several years ago and it does get a lot better

I jumped...

1 min read
Well, it's something I've wanted to do for years and I finally did it earlier this afternoon. I went sky diving. My father and sister jumped with me and I thought it was brilliant. I was waiting for the moment when I might be nervous, scared or hesitant but I'm pleased to say I was relaxed from start to finish. Everyone I've talked to said that it was jumping that was the hardest part and my sister might agree with that but without trying to sound macho, there was just nothing to fear up there. You feel quite safe and surprisingly, you don't feel like you're falling. There's a bit of a rush like you might get on a coaster but all in all, it was a great way to see the sights and have some fun. It's a little pricy but I'm hoping to go again and eventually get my certification.

* On a side note, if you have used or are going to use any of my tutorials, I would love to see your work.

Ok, so I've been working on a tutorial as promised for a while now starting with Chibi Cars. I've completed the Sketching and Inking tutorials and am half way through the Colouring tutorial. The problem is I'm not sure how detailed or generic it should be. I've started by explaining every little step and tool use in Photoshop. I wonder if perhaps I should assume people know how to use Photoshop or if I should be incredibly detailed as if someone is new to Photoshop. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'd love to know want people want to see in this.
