always love the hyenas

Always love.. whatever the fuck that thing in your icon is. Really, what the hell is that?

um its a space goat?

It's awesome. I love it and its monochromatic glory. o_o

why tanks u <3

cuuuooooool :)

This turned out rather well. I really like those spots. Isn't SAI free for a month or something?

I have no idea. Maybe? Probably. In some cases, it might be free forever.

Man, really awesome coloring. I can't color for crap. Really good.

Awesome to hear you've got SAI, I've been trying to get used to it myself, coming off from photoshop I'm just amazed at how simple it is XD I am enjoying it.

I've had it for a longass time, pretty much everything in my gallery since I started doing the cheap sketches has been SAI. I've just been using CS3 to colour, still, because it has more diverse brushes.

Yeah, I've been trying to get used to SAI, still having problems with getting the window to resize and such like that. though :(

Which part, exactly? I might know. Maybe, prehaps.

basically just to make the window larger, but not maximizing. like, if you went to the very lower right corner of your screen, you know how you can click and drag to re size the window? I can't get any sort of arrows or anything to re size the window XD

The window that you draw in, or the window of the program itself.

the actual program itself.

You've clicked the little box with an arrow next to the X in the upper right to unmaximize first, right? If so, then I'm not sure.

Ohh yeah. Basically what I need is to resize it not from maximize. It's at like a 14" widescreen size perminatley on my 22" monitor. I want it being like possibly 1440X900 or something like that. I'll ask  syrinoth tomorrow though, I'm going over to their place to hang out and chill with them.

Thanks for the help though.

Now this is cool.

Ooh. That does look good. Much more solid than I'm used to seeing from you.

Quick question, assuming you've used both, how does SAI compare to photoshop? I'd like to get my hands on something a little more powerful than GIMP but I don't have a spare $700 lying around, or the fortitude to just install a cracked/pirated version of CS3.

Cause most of what you see anymore is sketches, which are kind of milky, at best.

SAI is much friendlier to someone who wants to draw with something that's closer to an actual pen or pencil. It _feels_ more like real media and it's what I've been using for all of my sketches. It also has a few features concerning how you can select areas and whatnot that make certain aspects of colouring less complicated and time consuming than they are in photoshop.
Photoshop is much friendlier if you're more of a computer minded person. I mean, at it's heart, it's for photo manipulation, so it seems to have more little toys that you can tweek a picture with. It also has more brushes and some more options in some of the tools, it's a more robust program, and it gives you things like the crazy pen tool which I still don't understand.

SAI is nice compared to something like OC, because it has slightly more intuitive menus and it doesn't have the problems with saving in certain formats or resizing pictures that I've seen in OC.

I have all of CS3 (so, Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, etc), Paint Tool SAI, OpenCanvas4.5e and OC1.1 and Paint Shop Pro 5 installed on this poor little laptop (I do not use it for much aside from art... kind of the consequense of a hobby also being a job and a primary source of entertainment), and use them all to some extent.

I keep meaning to also get Corel Painter at some point, but haven't yet.

Hyena, cute. ^^

Preshisssss. I want to cuddle him. Possibly to death.

For you, he just might go along.

looks nice^^
