My fortune from Sunday’s Chinese buffet lunch:
Good news, bad news.
And some sketches, done in MyPaint:
Who are these people?

I have to work with Flash and several other Adobe products at my day job as an AS3 programmer. Flash alone costs $700. It simply isn’t worth it and here’s yet another example of why:
What the hell, Flash?
Open source is the way and the truth and the light. Why? Because closed source expensive stuff isn’t really any better plus it’s closed source and expensive. And don’t give me that “industry standard” crap. It’s only industry standard because too many sheep buy what the advertisers tell them to buy. I know from experience: whatever it is you are trying to program or create, you can do it with open source software. And if everybody who uses Adobe products (for instance) took 1/100th of the money they gave to Adobe and contributed it instead to the open source counterpart projects, everybody would win.
Except, of course, for Adobe.
Which means everybody would win.
By the way, if you need to make a .swf and you absolutely must get your proprietary rocks off, get KoolMoves. It does anything you’d want to do and costs less than 1/10th what you’d pay for Flash. And, on top of that, the developer is an actual person that you can talk to. Imagine that.
Still slowly working on the fantasy comic in my spare time. For now, I’m still figuring out what the characters look like. Here’s another go at Mike’s character. It was sketched way too small to make a good inking candidate, but what the heck. Oh, and the new WordPress media uploader rocks.
Mike the Dwarf
Not really worth posting, but it’s tonight’s meager practice.
The main points of this exercise were 1) to learn how to use MyPaint-GIMP-Inkscape in a comics production chain and 2) to practice drawing, inking, and painting stuff (as always). I wanted to do actual backgrounds but ran out of time, so here it is. I have no idea whether boots of frost resistance actually exist in the Skyrim universe, but I couldn’t resist the SkyrimShots title, so there you go.
