Added 1 new A* page:This ended up being a pretty productive page. I felt like the black ink alone wasn't quite getting it done, so when I started laying ink wash over it I messed around with it more than I usually do, and I found some handy ways to manipulate it for more detailed modeling effects: for the nose, for instance, I was able to create light and dark areas out of what had been a more or less flat area of wash by going back in with more water, or strategically sponging some off with a paper towel. And I had found some weeks ago that although the white ink stuff I have can't really be used in or with washes normally, since it isn't waterproof and doesn't mix well, if I add it on "dry," then wet a finger and smudge it, it actually blends pretty well that way—so I used that technique for some highlights. ~~~~~~~ I'm going to be trying to keep my blog entries relatively brief for a while here, and that's because I need to make time to get some important (to me =p) things done around the site: gotta get the subscription mode done (haven't even really managed to get started on the cookie-based version, dar), and then enable buying the original A* page paintings. These are gonna be somewhat technically challenging for me so they'll probably take a while, grr. Oh but before all that I still have to finish up the script for this episode. ;) ~~~~~~~ And you know it doesn't really help when I go and waste an hour or so taking screenshots of internet videos for "research." Shhah!
