So the other day, I was introduced to a Japanese art gallery the other day called pixiv (http://pixiv.net) that is really great for me, personally, because 1: it’s easy to browse, and 2: it’s easy to find really good art that’s in a style interesting to me, since it’s all usually anime or manga-based (or based on it, even if it’s not stylized).
Now, affiliated with pixiv is another site called Drawr that I have hence become addicted to. Drawr is an online oekaki site that functions much like pixiv itself does, with a main page for artist’s works, the ability to friend users, and the ability to watch or favorite other users. You can also comment on others’ works…by drawing a picture to reply to their picture.
As an oekaki, it actually isn’t as easy to use as others that I’ve worked with (like pchat), but it makes up for it just because the site itself is really good. And somehow, the people on it are…amazing. I’ve seen pictures in there that look like they are photorealistic, yet the colors automatically available in it are very specific. In order to create new ones, you literally have to paint it on the page, on opacity, mix it with another color, and then select that color – and yet, I’ve seen pictures that are practically gradients with the level of smoothing the artist has created.
I’m blown away.
Anyway, that aside, I’m having lots of fun messing around with it. I’ve literally just joined as of the 4th, so I don’t have a lot of practice yet, but hey, I’ll upload them here, too. That way I’ll have a nice triangle of places you can see them (drawr, DA, here).
Also, HVZ. I got tagged at the end of the night tonight, during the mission. I had a hurt foot anyway, so I decided to break one of the rules of Zombiland: don’t be a hero.
I was the bait to draw the zombies towards us instead of the rest of the group – me and one other dude named Patrick Something-With-a-C. Cassidy? Maybe. We both got zombified.
…Should never have switched to a nerf gun. I think socks would be easier. =\
Last count I checked: 486 versus 707, zombies in the lead. After tonight? Probably a lot larger of a gap.
PICTURES! In order from first to last:
