....is healthy.

these are some of the people that i love/emulate/wish i was as good as/hate (but in the good way). please take a look at their work, they really are amazing. and i will keep pushing on, trying to make my way up into the upper echelon of digital vector/vexel artists here on DA.

go on, go crazy for them.

okay, i just downloaded a trial version of photoshop so i could attempt to do some more vectors/vexels for the next 30 days or so. yeah, i'm that desperate. and hopefully that means new work being uploaded soon. we'll see. keep an eye it, if you care. :D

gotta love it.....

  • Reading: really into all Lovecraft right now
  • Watching: The Fall

  • Eating: toast
  • Drinking: iced coffee, as always
.....when your new computer craps out on you....

but it's fixed now, it seems. now comes the fun part of trying to gather all of my old info back onto it. and, to be fair, it wasn't the computer's fault that it freaked out, it was a user error of course. sometimes i'm really dumb.

anyways, hopefully i'll be on da more often (again....i feel like i keep saying that every few months). but with the new job (best buy), who knows when. 'tis the season.

don't know if anyone cares, i just had to vent my frustration. i'm just hoping that i didn't lose all of my book's files. cuz that would REALLY suck.

i need some help from someone better than me

alright....there's alot of new things happening with me. my husband and i moved back to upstate new york, where my family lives. and we're planning on building a house and all that domestic stuff that adults are supposed to do. good stuff. but for now, that means we're living with my parents (which also means i can use the internet again, yay! so i'm back on DA again, even bigger yay!) but that also means that in the 2 and 1/2 years we've been married now, we've lived in two apartments and two sets of parents' houses. and we'll move (hopefully only) one more time, but this time it'll be into our own house. not to mention three states. but anyways, that's pretty much all the news. i did get a nice new laptop, so hopefully i'll be doing more work to post soon, once i get photoshop or something similar.

on to what i need help with.....

i've been seriously writing a fantasy-type novel now for a little while. and i'm in awe of some of the artwork out there, specifically on DA, in the fantasy genre. i'm attempting some of my own, but i'm not very good at anything like that, and vectoring has its limits, at least for me. so basically, i'm looking for artists willing to help me out, in any of the following way:

- tutorials on airbrushing or the like for me to learn better how to go about it myself

- artists willing to work with me in that or

- artists willing to do some work for me for very little compensation (due to me being very poor), but with all of the applicable recognition and so forth (don't worry, i don't really expect this) :D

- artists willing to minor work, such as simple character sheets for main characters, etc.

- a mixture of any of the above or at the very least any resources you may know of

i dunno, i know it's a stretch, but i'm really into this right now and would appreciate ANY help in the form of links, tutorials, artwork, etc.

also, i am looking for someone to draw up my maps in a better form than the digital, free software i have now (although it's a great program and has really helped me wrap my head around all of this), so if anyone is interested in that or has good resources for this, let me know. i'm trying to get my husband to help me with this, but he doesn't think he's good enough.....bless him. :D

you may not be interested in any of this, and i totally understand that. this is just my serious project right now and i appreciate so much of what other people can do. i know my abilities are limited and would love to work some other wonderful artists.

thanks and much love to all of the DA community.
