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. :la:
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. :D
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

Just some updates and some thoughts

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 10, 2012, 7:44 AM

:iconhitogata:

=hitogata




First of all, I want to congratulate :iconsashatheamibiancat: for catching my kiriban 12345 :)

Yeah, my kiriban is kinda hidden - but it's specified on my profile page (under the "status"). So I won't be posting journals every time the kiriban comes close because I'll probably forget them myself lol

Next is 15000 - good luck! =D



Anyways, as you guys can see, I'm seriously into pixels lately. I want to draw some normal illustrations once in a while, but I'll probably be experimenting more with pixels since I have lot of things to improve on =D
But, I think i'm well enough to accept them as commissions - so those will be available too soon.

However, I have some things bugging me for a while about commissions....
They're just my thoughts, so please don't feel offended or anything. I just want people who have told me personally, or thinking about commissioning me know what kind of artist I am before actually commissioning me.



Right.. First of all, it's great to have lot of people asking me about normal commissions (like chibis), but I realized while opening the pixel icons that sometimes I don't feel inspired or enjoy drawing.

You see, I personally am not against original characters no matter how they are well or poorly created - I love making OCs too, so I'm not going to go up to the person and criticize on their design ideas (unless i'm asked to, but frankly I don't really like giving them in the first place.). I will compliment if I like it, but I will shut myself if I don't. But even though I'm not against them, sometimes I feel I don't want to draw them even it is for a commission.

I found this trait especially when I have to do FCs (aka fancharacters), meaning not completely original, but the characters are based on existing works. Now please don't get me wrong: I find many of FCs fun to draw and I do support many of my friends who have them (loving purely on who the characters are). I tried to accept every commissions when I did the pixel icons, but I realized it doesn't work out for me >_> I did had to decline a few, due to poor refs and this FC issue.

So, here's what I'm going to do from now on. I will be declining commissions if I don't want to do it. Without questions please, because I'm not really good at explaining and to avoid fights over this. Just don't get me wrong - in most cases I feel unmotivated because of weaknesses: like for example, I suck at really short hair guys or spiky hairs, or animal faces (like those sonic stuff), or it's because the character is wearing a complicated armor, etc, etc. The list can go on.
So... if I ever happen to decline your commission, don't feel offended or ask me why... Just thinking of it that I judged myself that I am not capable to fulfill your expectations. Definitely no Sonic stuff... or Naruto (just because I don't like them). Other fandoms will be considered too.

I think a word that will describe an artist like me is "picky".
Since I have my commissions as paypal, I'm taking real money - and I probably shouldn't so picky about what to draw since these people are offering to pay me to draw something for them.... but I'll be honest: I don't want to draw anything I don't want to draw or inspired :| Even it's a commission, in a way it's my time offered as a service, so I think I can have the right to choose who and what to serve. What's the fun in drawing if I can't enjoy right?

Even with these reasons I have wrote down with my honest feelings, and if you're still interested to commission me when I open them, I'll be happy to get a note and discuss about it :)



Oh... but one more thing I want to add to this commission issue...
It's kinda off topic.

As I have posted on the pixel icon commission page and mentioned this numerous times in the journal.....
I. DO. NOT. DO. POINT. COMMISSIONS.

I can understand how some people try asking (which is okay... even though I don't like it), but what I find almost amusing is that they think that asking multiple times will change my answer. When I say no, that's a no, and it will remain as a big fat NO. It just pisses me off. You will be ignored completely, forever.

Setting your groundrules is important...If you keep on doing things you don't like you might grow to resent your art or burn yourself out doing things you hate, and not have energy or inspiration for the things you actually want to do! So yes, I think you're being reasonable. :)

Understandable. It's totally your right to refuse drawing a specific subject. I think it's unrealistic for people to expect someone to draw whatever just because they are paying them.

/decides against it
