Back From the Dead (G)
4 years ago
Hello! It's been way too long, but I'm finally back for good(?)
Anyway, there's a ton of messages I haven't replied to but thank you all for the kind words! I know most of you here are hoping to get an animated avatar commission, and in the past I've attempted to get myself back in a position where I could open them, but unfortunately I don't think it's going to happen. In the icon commissions I took in the past, I relied heavily on Photoshop's GIF optimization options, which were better than any other program's that I've encountered since. I then moved to an upgraded computer though, one in which my old copy of Photoshop CS5 for Mac wouldn't work and switched to CSP as my primary digital drawing/painting program. As good as CSP is (I love it way better than Photoshop), Photoshop still did have far superior control over GIF optimization and exportation and I couldn't do even half the things with animated GIFs in CSP that I could in Photoshop. And once Photoshop switched over to a subscription-based payment, there's no way I'm ever going back.
I did (and still do) have a pirated version of Photoshop that I tried to get into the swing of using and could still theoretically use, but after not doing animated avatars for a while I got into the groove of doing other things (mostly 3D stuff) and didn't really have the energy or interest in trying out a new workflow. So I will cautiously say there IS still a chance that I feel up to taking some 2D avatar commissions, but if I do it will be a much smaller number and less often.
But the good news is I've been doing a lot of 3D stuff and am having a ton of fun with it, and would love to try out 3D commissions if anyone is interested. I'm not officially opening them quite yet, but check out my 3D work
