I've been working in Illustrator for the past couple of months and last week I decided to start delving into Photoshop for artwork. This was a beast. For me. I learned a whole lot about Photoshop. Photoshop has more freedom in regards to shading and highlighting. All you need are masks, masks, masks and you can pretty much do anything you want. The downside, to me, is that once it's done…it's done. If you don't like it, you have to rebuild it. Yea, it may be only one layer, but with Illustrator, you can click on a path and be done. It's definitely a different way of working.

So I've been getting requests to chat from people I don't know. Now I'm beginning to think maybe it's from here. I don't know that there's any way to let one know you are from DeviantArt on Skype, but if anyone would like to message me on AIM, please let me know you're from DeviantArt. Otherwise, I'll make up some excuse to not talk with you. I used to be big into chatting years ago, and met too many unsavory individuals so that I lost interest and am very wary of strangers. Stranger Danger! Gotta be safe

I've never ever been able to keep a journal for long. I'll give this one a shot. Something to rant about: where the hell do people get the idea that's it perfectly reasonable to offer LESS THAN $250 for a website design, logo, template, illustrations?! Or to want 15 illustrations for less than $250 and have ready in one week. This rant is as old as prostitution, and can only change if designers will stop bidding on this kind of crap. I'm bored.
