• Practice Digital Inking Comic Book Art With Photoshop

    Photoshop Inking Demo

    On the left is a pencil drawing I scanned in. On the right is the digitally inked artwork done in Photoshop. As you can see, they have two completely different tones. My original pencil lines were more sketchy and aggressive. Then, the digital lines look more balloon or cartoony, but otherwise more clean. Of course, this is all practice. My goal is to make it look almost 1:1, so that it looks consistent. Drawing on a 4×5 tablet isn’t necessarily as intuitive as 1:1 graphite pencil on paper (which I’ve done most of my life and have more control).

  • Yellow Stinger Concept Art

    So when you actually sit down and do it pencil, ink, and colored, you get an understanding of what your strong traits are. My lines aren’t straight. And my inking isn’t that good, not modeled out. Coloring may still be too flat. But it’s a learning process. Lifelong.

    Wow! I AM IMPRESSED! This sprite was done by prominent at Fiverr for $15. I wanted it to look like Mega Man X quality sprite based on my own likeness and reference photo and holy shit did he deliver. I think I’ll have to commission him to do the rest of my sprites for the remake of The Project. Awesome job, prominent!

  • Me 20 Years Later

    I was digging through my old pencil box and found this portrait of myself from 1996 when I just started middle school. It’s suppose to be profound how much I’ve changed. Mostly, if I don’t pimp my own propaganda, no one would. Thus, it’s profound to me.

  • Microsoft Patch For Font Corruption Windows Update KB3013455

    http://www.infoworld.com/article/2885974/patch-management/microsoft-surreptitiously-reissues-kb-3013455-for-vista-windows-server-2003.html

    Well, well, well Microsoft, not bad turnaround time to fix my Windows Vista problem. Microsoft releases supposed patch for Windows Update KB 3013455. You have to install it manually though. But it seems to fix the problem. You can install the newly issued KB 3013455, BUT THEN YOU MUST download and install KB 3037639 AFTER it, which will patch the corrupted font bug.

  • Leia Pseudo-Holographic 3D Mobile Imaging

    Named after Star Wars gimmicky visual effect of Princess Leia, mobile phones might soon be able to project a holographic effect on their displays. According to the description of how the technology works, the LED shoots the light at 64 different directions. It layers images on top of each other, much like a CT Scan and the optical effect is something that is 3D. I imagine, when displays get high enough frame rates with more efficient power consumption, then this thing will become the norm. Now, the question is, how would you prepare a image for 3D holographic display? You’d have to prepare every layer or model the image in 3D. Not real efficient use of time for average user. But this stuff would be awesome for medical field and possible video gaming.

  • Jeffrey Robinson Was There From Bitcoin’s Start

    http://www.americanbanker.com/video/how-transparent-is-bitcoin-1072982-1.html

    C’mon, Jeffrey, get real. He’s gotta sell books, but he’s also playing coy. He was there when Bitcoin started back in Charlotte, North Carolina. Again, back to how the devils work: it was a bunch of old men taking advantage of teenagers. Aaron Sorkin was there fishing for new drama to exploit (or manufacture) for his Hollywood bullshit. It’s all so very convenient.

    In Sorkin’s “Social Network”, it was actually Mark Zuckerberg and the Winklevoss twins meeting with me at their “clubhouse” to steal my idea for Bitcoin. Zuckerberg handed me a sandwich. They put that in the movie, but made Zuckerberg into me. Why do you think they cast someone that doesn’t look anything like the real Zuckerberg? Pretty much, Zuckerberg and Winklevoss twins have always been in cahoots. The filmmakers even admitted that the film version is a “composite” of characters. They love rubbing salt in the open wounds.

  • My YouTube Marketing Strategy Reviewed

    How does “Sexy Asian Man Avante Garde Short Film In-Depth Expose on American Stupidty” garner 1700 views?

    Yet, “Dog Meat Review” only has 400 views?

    I thought Americans loved controversy about dog meat. Maybe it’s the thumbnails?

    And to date, my highest viewed video features naked wimmens, which I cannot monetize. Ain’t that a trip?

    And the one with some actual substance was my “Asian Penis” video, getting 9800 views.

    So if I have to sort my particular videos into their highest views by category:

    1. Sex/Nude White Women
    2. Asian Male Stereotypes
    3. Batman-related shit
    4. Technology/Technology tutorials

    Well, it looks like I better put more women into my videos.

    I can deduce my viewers profiles this way. They are mostly young males who love Batman and using technology. Hey, just like me!!!

  • Why Net Neutrality Is Vital To Productive Society

    http://news.yahoo.com/the-fcc-will-vote-to-regulate-net-neutrality-thursday%E2%80%94it-s-time-to-understand-what-that-means-214646803.html

    Why Net Neutrality is Vital To Productive Society
    By Chongchen Saelee

    SMDH. I really hope the FCC doesn’t regulate the Internet and let the greedy Internet companies get more power. For those who don’t know what “net neutrality” is, it means that anyone with an Internet connection should be able to access any and all information on the Internet without limitations such as censoring content, transfer speeds, special treatment between content providers, etc. In the case of pursuit of knowledge and free speech, I think it’s incredibly important to have net neutrality.

    The reason this has been controversial lately is because there is a political ulterior motive involved. It’s not that people are getting free Internet and 11-year-olds are making pipe bombs and blowing up their schools. People already are paying their Internet Service Providers (ISP) for access to the Internet already. So all this bullshit about how companies now want to control the actual bandwidth of transfer for customers willing to pay more for special treatment, or to give content providers preferential treatment to stream faster content, just sounds like money grabbing bullshit. The payment system already exists for us where we can buy into the Internet via different bandwidth speeds. So I don’t know what these greedy Internet companies want other than more money.

    So the only thing left is the ulterior motive of controlling “information”. And that’s political. Once that information is controlled, then we’ve now become a country that is living under lock and key. And that’s going to be incredibly frightening. If this is a CIA or NSA operation to lock down the Internet, then they should know better. If they truly had any intelligence, they wouldn’t be putting any of their government secrets and important stuff onto the Internet anyway.

    And I think that’s the problem with the way human intelligence thinks. They still need the Internet for their operations, but they also shoot themselves in the foot by regulating it. At some point, freedom really is about being free. There are no such things as freedom isn’t free. If it’s not free, then what is it?
