On an upside, I have been enjoying coloring THIS AWESOME SERIES a lot over the past week (still working on it now).
Some seriously great work from the writers (Johnny Wander team!) and artist. I highly recommend picking it up once it hits shelves.

Amazon Unveils a [Horrifying] Fanfic Publishing...
lingeringlilies:
Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.

While this talks about fanfiction (and I agree with OP), this discussion partly can also be applied to any...

So I got that XIM add-on (cause it’s finally on Firefox, haha). Anyone else who has it feel free to add me and chat or whatever. If you are so inclined :’)

So I lied. I honestly tried to play Mass Effect already.
Except just as I was about to finalize my character creation (which took forever because I’m picky and honestly none of the faces are really that good looking) the game glitched on me. I could move my mouse around and menu rollover animations worked, but nothing happened when I clicked on things. At all. So I had to force-quit.

Mass Effect: Acquired! \o/
I figured what the hell. Going the the cheaper option! :P I’m actually not going to allow myself to play it until after classes+work are over (because I undoubtedly will never get anything done if I do).
But I have a feeling this is going to ruin me. 8)

Mass Effect: PC vs Console
Steam is offering Mass Effect 1+2 for only 10$ right now. I really really really want it.
However I had been eying the Trilogy set for PS3 for a while (waiting for the price to go down…). I prefer games on console, simply because it’s what I’m use to. But this PC deal is suuuuper cheap and almost a steal.
So my fellow gamers. How does the game play on PC (or console)? My...

SO re-designing Yale’s Art School website is actually making me really angry
Like I keep picking through it looking for info to pull and paste into the new design
and I keep finding new pages buried within other pages. Like 4 pages in I finally find ‘general info’. Every single page’s navigation is different and I keep finding stuff hidden everywhere. 9_6
Granted I...

Quick someone give me a thing to draw. I need to vent some creative energy but I’m too tired to get indepth with bigger projects. I just want to doodle something for like 30min or so.
Animals. Things. Prompts. Give them to me.

Adobe kills Creative Suite, goes subscription-only →
Just a year after launching its $50-per-month plan, Adobe has made its Creative Cloud the only way to get the new versions of its full software suite. Customers ‘overwhelmingly’ prefer it. Read this article by Stephen Shankland on CNET News.
Yup, it’s finally happening. And no one is happy >:c
I’ll say it up front. I HATE subscription/rent-to-own for software....

Thanks everyone for the horrible website suggestions!
I’ve decided to re-design this particular gem because pretty much whatever I make will be 1000% better.

Alright my web-scurrying minions lovely followers, I’m in need of your suggestions once more.
Final project in one of my classes is to re-design a poorly designed website.
I’m in need of one. Or a few to choose from at least. Know of any? Smaller ones, like personal websites or small businesses work great (I’m not going to redesign Facebook).
That being said, we also need to...

How are you supposed to do the layouts? Digitally or like, sketching boxes on a page or whatever?
All of the above and more =_=
Research (from other magazines), sketches (pencil), font research (GD’s are very snobbish about fonts imo), and then digital layouts in InDesign. We’re suppose to do...

MAGAZINE LAYOUTS ARE BORING
I say as I curl up in my blanket cocoon.
Midterms officially suck this semester. Magazines are boring and cheesy and I’m terrible at layouts and I don’t want to do 20 rough drafts. =A=
I just want to draw grownup How To Train Your Dragon kids now. Or draw in general.
Actually I want to sleep.
Forever.

Youtube playlists?
Anyone have any youtube playlists (or hour+ long song compilations) to suggest? Looking for some inspirational tunes to listen to while working.
Or artists/albums in general will work too.

For all my new followers! Here’s a quick intro of myself, and what blogs I run. (Under the cut!)
[[MORE]]
I’m Pencilcat. I’m also known as AbelPhee on various other sites. This is my main blog. I post art, sketches and the occasional cool/stupid things. I own a ball python named Ayva, and a chinchilla named Chez, who you may see photos/references of.
I may not be the most outspoken...

Ugh, this week.
As you may have noticed I’ve been rather MIA this past week due to work. My boss recently fired someone, and guess who got alllll those hours that still needed to be covered. Ya money, but booo because it required me to do a hellava lot of driving. On the upside I got to play with a 13week old German Shepard puppy and 2 huskies today. I wanted to take them home with me~

woot woot. Looks like I’ll be doing more work for Boom Studios. I’ll be coloring a new Adventure Time mini-series :D
Work doesn’t start till May, so I gotta get the rest of my to-do-list cleared this month. ART GO!

Is that what I think it is
There are three things there so honestly I have no idea which you are referring to, but they are as followed: A sassy dragon >:P, me, and my chinchilla.
Unless you think there is something else…?
