Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you finally made the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean more quality to the paintings, am i right?.
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast. Then only to realize you only have total control of the brush but when you are moving it really slow?. But when you do quick strokes the pressure drops a lot of paint making you redraw tons of stuff?
Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.
Have you ever open the customize option in wacom settings, only to feel dumb and no

6/18

Journal Entry: Sun Jan 30, 2011, 2:03 PM

Guys...

Why the HELL did I take Art & Design at A-level?

Would someone please remind me what I was thinking? I'm having one of those days where even the prospect of having done PHYSICS instead seems appealing.

I'm not giving up yet. But I am HATING Art right now. So much.

6/18 refers to things I managed to check off my "to do" list this weekend for my class crit tomorrow, when the teacher will apparently go through everything by everybody. There is so much crap in my book. There is so much crap in my book that I should have done but haven't yet. At least I think I may have wrangled the amount of final pieces I'm supposed to have, but yeesh... Anyway, I'm giving up for tonight and going to bed. Being cranky in the morning will not help me.

Remind me, somebody? The only reason I'm not depressed right now is that I've had my Insanely Cheerful Music playlist on since about 3.30 this afternoon - it's about 10pm now.

Also... Woody and Bullseye vs Bowser as a parody of Bellerephon/Perseus on Pegasus vs the chimaera - a possible response to Renaissance art? Going with a portrayal of a battle of fictional mythic/epic characters, but modern day ones? Is that going to be worth the epic win whatever the result, or just a bad idea? Opinions please, guys - I've already drawn Bowser, but I don't know if I should continue, as drawing Woody on Bullseye is hard. And it might not be enough of a link to Renaissance art.

Uh... Nothing else to report/whinge about.

Love and prayers,
Lutra xx

Hey, I'm taking Art- AS level at the moment and it sucks so bad, I hate it, but I wanna do it >< I handed in my coursework with loads of stuff missing, but oh well

I wish I could draw like you, then I would definitely get good marks XD

*Lutra-Gem Feb 1, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I feel for you, kid. But you've handed in coursework already? Man, that's early - our A2 group has until March 21st, I'm not sure when the AS group has until.

I'm by no means the best in my class, though all of us have different styles. I'm definitely not going to be getting an A* at the end of the course. Let me give you this advice: Art A-level will give you good marks for being able to show development, take ideas from other sources, experiment and try different things. Being able to draw well isn't going to get you anywhere unless you can do everything else too (last year I got a C, which was even lower than I expected, because I didn't do enough development or drawing from life in my exam project). This year I'm jumping though hoops to get all the marks I can to come out with a B overall.

Pick up marks where you can; listen to your teachers (so long as they're moderately sensible and know the markscheme - some Art teachers are insane, I know); and draw whenever you have the opportunity - there is always room to improve, and the more you do it the better you'll get! (Also, if you can afford life-drawing classes they are really valuable, and look good in the coursework.)

Good luck with it all!

Thank you for the advise ^^ But my teacher just talks shit, doesn't help out at all. Plus I am taking 5 lessons in 6th form all together, so it's hard to keep up with everything :l I'll be glad to get an E x-x I'm gonna try harder on my exam and next year tho, so hopes up!
Hope u manage to get that B (if possible higher)

Gosh, I feel sorry for you - I don't always get on well with my teacher, and there's some stuff she's hopeless about, but she knows what will get us good marks and she knows her art. I did 5 subjects, but General Studies is a doss subject. And an E is still a pass!

Thanks!

Awww...

I hope you get everything done!!

*Lutra-Gem Jan 30, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Well, I most definitely won't have everything done by this morning... But I might be able to get everything done by me final deadline of March 21st. Given that I need to produce new material as well as finish old material, and add to that essay I was doing back in September.

I'll... manage.

I usually do.

Bless you....I reallly don't know what to say. It does sound like you're having a really hard time. As I keep saying, I personally couldn't stand Art at school but there are reasons you took it. Firstly, you did enjoy it, and deep down, you still do. It's the fact you're almost being 'forced' to do it annoys you. Secondly, you took it because you want to make something of yourself, and I know you can make something of yourself. You are hard working, creative, artistic and determined (and yes this is sounding a bit corny but it all true LOL). *HUG* Never give up

Reply

*Lutra-Gem Jan 30, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

*sigh* You sweetie... You're right. I'm probably managing fairly well compared to some people in the class, but... Meh. Nyeh. Nyeeeeeeh. I still quite like drawing and painting and stuff, but you're quite right that it's the forced, prescriptive nature of getting a good grade that's upsetting me. Plus, I'm in a sort-of inspired mood, but it's inspired to do my own stuff, not school stuff. I wanted to enter the competition being run at #YuGiOh-Abridged-Fans; ran out of time. I want to make a birthday picture for LK as the LAC is going to be a sorta party for him; I will probably run out of time.

And... yes, I do want to make something of myself... but I could make something of myself without Art... Still, I appreciate those words - corn is a staple food, after all.
