Adobe Tells Users They Can Get Sued for Using Old Versions of Photoshop

"You are no longer licensed to use the software," Adobe told them.

[awsomelink]

Friendly reminder that GIMP does pretty much everything Photoshop does, and it’s 100% free. Fuck DRM and the license culture, we have plenty of open source options available to us as a consumer.

Lightworks is a freeware video editor on par with Premiere

Blender is an excellent freeware 3D renderer,possibly better than After Effects

Lightzone to replace Lightroom

Inkscape to replace Illustratr

Audacity to replace Audition (I also received a free version of Pro Tools with my Scarlett Solo audio interface)

If Adobe is going to be greedy shitheads, then fuck ‘em. Don’t use their stuff. Freeware can be just as good, if not better, than Adobe CC.

@syaosakuspringbash Day 2 -- Wings

there are layers to this joke. but could i add more?

[japhers]

Your designs always have such lovely details. May I ask, how do you find the time to do so much intricate detailing? I feel like it takes me forever to do stuff like that and it's a bit discouraging. I end up sticking with simpler designs despite loveing more detailed designs. I've tried using custome brushes but your details look so much more natural.

it’s 50% me finding lazier ways to make details and 50% me just liking detail work a lot! here’s stuff that might make things easier for you tho~

Fancy Easy Lace (clarification! this is a FireAlpaca thing; make your life Super Easier by adding a Border Layer Mode if you’re using Photoshop!):

Gold Details:

Roses:

Sheer Cloth:

Then mix and match and put them all together:

A compilation of stuff I know about drawing Asian faces and Asian culture! I feel like many “How-To-Draw” tutorials often default to European faces and are not really helpful when drawing people of other races. So I thought I’d put this together in case anyone is interested! Feel free to share this guide and shoot me questions if you have any! I’m by no means an expert, I just know a few things from drawing experience and from my own cultural background.

I'm that anon about CLAMP rep & Tomoyo. Sorry I send the message to wrong user

Did you mean this one? Because I’ll have words with you over it. I disagree with what you’ve said (mostly) and I’m SUPER curious about who you meant to send this too since this is exactly the sort of ask I would get on my main....

the third and final of @mythicalheartbeat‘s commission is of Kratos and Faye. never have I played the God of War series (though it is on my “maybe one day list”) so naturally I spent about an hour trying to find a ref pic for Faye that did not exist before I asked about it. I did my best and I hope it meets all standards.

the second commission for @mythicalheartbeat is of the dads having some sweet Dad Time(tm). I really love drawing them in soft moments. there’s something extra special about it, you know?
