have you considered other brands? there are significantly cheaper competitors at this point

Briefly, though I tend to see friends, former coworkers, and other artists still prefer the Cintiq, and even tell me they regret not just getting another Cintiq. I think in the future I’ll more ardently look into other brands, but at the moment, it’s familiar and I know how it’ll work, so it’s a bit nicer on my piece of mind, if a bit worse on my wallet.

Cephalopods have tentacles. I think the word you're looking for is crustacean (or possibly arthropod)

Oh my god I am so ashamed. YES. ARTHROPOD. Gosh. Or rather, an isopod.

Wow I feel dumb about that. My animal knowledge is actually pretty good, I swear. :O

Guillermo del Toro confirmed they were working on the sequel's script like two days ago. But this will never not be relevant; your art is fantastic!

Yeah, I did see that. But, there's a saying from my last year at DigiPen when we were in teams working on producing a game: "It doesn't exist until it's in-game."

And that's kind of my view when it comes to movies. Until filming has actually begun, I'm doing my best not to get in on any PacRim 2 hype. Partly because I don't want to be disappointed if nothing happens, and partly because I cannot stand speculation (last time PacRim 2 furvor hit my feed, I blacklisted 'pacific rim' entirely).

So I AM excited, but I'm excited with a healthy dose of skepticism (not at the actual output, but skepticism at it's existence).

adorable baby baker. This reminds me of the cake I made for my dad's 40th that had candles stuck in the sides because I ran out of room on top. She's trying so hard and is so cute, but it still might be inedible.

Oh my gosh that's amazing. My sisters and I stuck 50 candles on a cake for my stepdad's birthday. It was AMAZING. I mean, until we noticed it was actually melting the frosting on top of the cake and my mom actually had trouble carrying it because it was too hot.

As for Archimedes, I think Newt intervened enough that Hermann wouldn't die. He probably still won't enjoy it though.

white-throated-packrat replied to your photoset:Blame the-oxford-english-fangirl. There was this...

Any particular reason she’s got a Hufflepuff scarf? Because she and Hermann seem like Ravenclaws to me, though I suppose Hermann could be a Gryffindor too…

Mostly because the-oxford-english-fangirl said it first! And then I was thinking of the same thing and why Hufflepuff and not Ravenclaw, and, well, personality-wise, Archimedes would be a Hufflepuff. When she's older she fits in to the matriarch/caretaker role and, while she's still brilliant, she puts others above herself almost every time.

curran12 replied to your post “I did pick the giveaway winners, and I’ll make a post later today...”

Is this new commission schedule going to conflict with my Journey series idea?

Nope! Your commission series and the two other larger ones I also have actually were what I was considering and why I'm going to look at commissions a little differently. I'm just trying to look for ways to both work on larger projects, but also have smaller pieces that can help bolster income while those larger pieces are being worked on.

It's... kind of my first step toward some larger changes, and better organization on my part. Especially since organization has been my downfall lately. So it's still being mulled over right now, and I'll probably be editing the info a few times before I actually post it so I know it will actually work the way I'd like it to.

snowharbour replied to your photoset “Ouroboros" It started as an eight page comic during post-movie...”

now it is only a question of how much you're gonna make me cry with Newt feels :x

Hopefully lots.

Maybe.

I have lot of post-movie Newt feels. Mostly because I think... I agree with a lot of peoples headcanons on Hermann's growth of character, but with NEWT... I think he FRACTURES.

So hopefully I can do the comic just to lay out all those feels, as I just... haven't seen anyone that has laid out what I've been thinking? Or maybe I've just missed a lot of it as my dash is just overrun with Hermann meta. XD
