The new design is finally complete. My genius-of-a-programmer friend, Michael Stokes, helped me finish writing the cookie for saving user preferences, and so the new design is now officially done. I still have bug testing to do for the various browsers, of course. But so far, Firefox and Safari are already looking pretty good. Hooray! [...]

hairball-refined-all Photoshop “fur brush” Settings

Recently a friend of mine asked me about a special technique that can be used in Photoshop to paint fur. The technique was originally shown to us by an artist at Dreamworks, Richard Daskas. Mr. Daskas used this technique to paint the fur for a concept painting of “Monkey” from Dreamwork’s Kung Fu Panda, to [...]

The comic book film genre has come a long way. With X-Men marking ground and establishing itself as not just a good comic book film, but as a great film in general, the door for such films has since swung wide open. We’ve since been given Spider-Man and its subsequent sequel. And now, it appears that the latest installment to the Iron Man franchise will be adding itself to the genre’s success stories.

One of the tricky things to painting digitally is trying to create that “illusion of depth”; not “visual depth”, but that physical depth you get with physical media—how paint layered upon paint has a physicality to it, a “texture” or “height” vs. digital painting where, no matter how many layers upon layers of pixels you have, it will always appear flat. Many people may not know what the difference is between a digital painting and a traditional one, but they can “see” or sense the difference. Well, this technique demonstrates how you can achieve an “illusion of depth”, making it more akin to physical media.

“Today, we humbly remember and honor those who died on this day: The men and women who give faces to what it is to be an American. We remember that unity is more important than division, and that what makes America great is her people; their hopes, their dreams, their ambitions, and their desire that other people should know such freedom. I truly believe that we are a beacon to the world, and to commemorate this historic day, I launch a new blog: www.APatriotsVoice.com”
