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 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

Spring has fully sprung!

Fri Apr 21, 2006, 7:49 AM

Well I hope you excellent deviants are all well! Things are sailing along fine here with fire season under way.  I still haven't done any bush-time yet but there have been several grassfires in the rural areas around town to keep us on red alert.

The first member of my crew started back yesterday, with the others to follow next week.  After that, we'll be starting our mandatory field training which is always enjoyable.  We often take a truck out on the bush roads and practice hoselays, pump setups, chainsaw techniques, helipad construction, GPS and compassing, camp setups, and a meriad of other useful firefighting skills.. then have a tailgate BBQ for lunch.  A great way to spend our days while waiting for fires!

I can honestly say I love my job.. the fresh air ..the action and excitement, the professionalism, the comradery, and the good pay.  My father once told me 'if you can go to work with a smile on your face.. actually looking forward to your work day.. then you've got half the battle won'.

And spring is in the air.... ahhh! suck that air in and smell the budding nature mixed with the decay from last year! .. Other than wood-smoke, it's my favorite smell.

Love is in the air also! .. after being single for some time now, I've decided to get back in the game

Nobody serious yet, but a man can't stay lonely too long before he feels that tug, y'know? Especially in spring for me.. a time of new beginnings.. Actually of late my heart has been going out to a very special someone here on dA.. she fortunately lives on the same continent, so I may have to pay a visit in the fall

I want to say thanks to all who have faved my work lately.. I'm trying hard to find time to answer all comments, but visiting those who 'fav'n'run' may take some time.. bear with me please

now! ...back to my java... and my message center.. I've got today off, so a lazy morning won't hurt me

Take care my friends.

Love y'all

Skinner

I started a new group yesterday!
~geocaching

*wb-skinner Apr 23, 2006

ahh! ..an evironmental game of sorts... I misunderstood you though.. we use a similar premise to share forest-fire data amongst our bases via arcmap.. not really an evironmental purpose. But this geocaching you are talking about sounds interesting for sure!

~lexidh Apr 23, 2006

It's a great hobby!

*wb-skinner Apr 23, 2006

no doubt.. one I can maybe participate in when I have more time

... good group concept though!
