Pnate's Almost Daily Sketchbook

Well, picasa is owned by google and I don't see them going away anytime soon.
Anytime you upload a blogger page or blogspot page it saves your images into picasa. That's the host I use and I haven't seen a single image fade in over two years now.

Also, for bulbs I think that those curly-Q bulbs... Energy saver bulbs I guess (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp)? They seem to work pretty well for giving out solid neutral light. At least when I do my still lifes that's what I use.

But anyway, I want to see #614 done! That one is looking so good! You might still be using that block-in technique with the selection tool or shape tool, but this is coming along amazingly! I would suggest to keep plugging away at things like this.

Do you have any long-term goals in mind for your art? Like are you trying to be a character artist? Environment artist? Technical artist? The reason I ask is that you have a knack for pretty solid character designs and I would continue to explore them to the fullest if you were specifically looking at character art. But again, this all depends on your long-term goals. What type of industry do you see yourself working in? Are you considering freelance? All of these can help to shape why type of art in the long-term you could consider.

Granted, all of this is moot if you wish to freelance, because at that point you kind of have to be a jack-of-all-trades. And of course it doesn't hurt at all to be knowledgeable in everything.

I think that Marc Brunet said it here best.

Anyway... just something that I was thinking about while looking at your newest character design.

Carry on... it's early and I'm just rambly today. :)
