Happy New Year 2014.  Back to an even number. Over the past year I have been working with many different graphic software and hardware.  Upgraded to a new computer (still waiting on a new graphics card), Intuos5, got Sketchbook Pro 6, and played around with Iluststudio. With the past weeks of Holidays I found myself cut away from my new setup and back on my old Wacom Tablet/Laptop I had since 2005 running the original Alias Sketchbook Pro (before Autodeck got their hands on it.)  What a difference!  Drawing felt like drawing again.

Summer is just about over.  Over the past few months I've been working over a series of transitions.  First I got my hands on an Intuos 5 which allowed me to work on my main computer instead of a tablet laptop.  This however caused some issues.  Sketchbook Pro 6 failed me in not being able to cope with massive amounts of layers.  I first thought it was just my computer...but no its the program (Original Sketchbook Pro is fine.)  So this forced me onto Photoshop.  I don't mind finishing work on Photoshop but I do not like to draw on it.  Looked up IllustStudio, found a copy, and despite the language barrier its a pretty nice program.  Unfortun

So despite working on new pics on a pretty consistent base I am still slow and behind my modest schedule.  A good reason I cannot do commissioned work or even fulfill free requests - I can't even finish my own me stuff in good time.  Still if anyone has a suggestion of something they might want to see some day I'll think it over. Currently I have about 4 separate projects in various stages of completion.  My main big project is a follow up of the Nanael demon sequence but I've put it away for the time (hopefully only a week or so) to hopefully knock out a simpler quicker work straying a little bit from the more extreme less DA friendly stuff
