Love the second one

I do not have the tablet yet, although my friend who's going to give it to me hasn't quite forgotten, she found it and said last time she was here that she'd put it in her car so she will not forget it

Anyways, I'm getting a new computer relatively soon (Mac laptop!), so I may not do a whole ton digitally until I get that, and that's a ways a way so I'm not sure...

On another note, I haven't seen you around lately, how are you?

Awhh really?

oh well I guess I'll have to wait, impatiently... *fidgets*
Humm a Mac Laptop, I don't know how you can do it, I can't get on with Macs at all. Well I guess its because I know all the short cut keys for windows and I like the two or even three mouse button instead of just the one without pressing a key on the keyboard.

Honestly I have no idea what I've been doing, I think I just keep getting distracted, going to post then not doing it then going and doing something else totally different... Well I have finished my human form project, now it's onto urban landscape. I've been going around Canterbury drawing some very errr zippy pictures

hey, do you know how to keep plants alive? I bought some mini roses, they are all dead now... well kinda of maybe... umm, I don't know what to do with plants...

Lol.

Macs, you can actually change mice. You don't need to stick for the single button, I'm going to get a mouse for my laptop because I can't stand the laptop pads or the Mac mice. As for shortcuts, I mostly use the internet on whatever computer I'm running, so the shortcusts aren't that different. This biggest thing for me is going to be adjusting to the file system.

Plants, hm? Make sure you water them daily and they get sun (but not too much sun). Too much sun and they burn up.

Human form project? What did you do for that?

Oh, I had to do portraits of my teachers in art class. I did our German teacher and our Earth Space/physical science teacher. I did a chalk piece for the science teacher, and did a space background with a purple-y nebula thing in the background. It totally kicks butt ^.^

I made these for Kathi

I've finished my human form project now, all done! I did this umm well I'm going to take some pictures of it and put them on here

I've got to finish some bits for the urban landscape project and now i've got to finish that in the next three days so i'm ready for the next project which is public art

Have you adjusted to the system yet?

Cute & Brilliant as always Zippy!
Great work.

TrekkieMage · **Fri Jun 02, 2006 4:26 pm**

They're adorable!

I haven't adjusted to the system yet because I don't have the machine yet

I'm going to see if I can lure my parents into buying it for me before the end of the summer.

I can't wait to see pics of your project!

Yeah, right now in art we're working on doing four pieces in four different styles of the the same still life. I'm doing flowers. The styles are impressionism, realism, surrealism, and cubism. I'm doing everything but the cubism in colored pencil, and I'm doing the cubism in oil pastel. It's due on June 12th...Getting to the end of the year!

Wow I've been really busy but now at x-mas break I finally have time to catch up on some things!

I can't wait until I start my next project at college, I get to choose my own subject, which is a bad thing because I will want to change my ideas or take too much on, or do too little and stay with a fixed idea... humm. I don't think I could base it on star trek

TrekkieMage · **Wed Dec 20, 2006 11:17 pm**

Long time no see

I love the texture on Seven's suit. I can't wait to see more ^-^

Some nice work. Maybe I missed it, but how arer these done?

z-i-p-p-y · **Sun Dec 24, 2006 1:33 pm**

Well first you have to get a base. That is the person underneath without any clothes on, like a base body. Or you could make one yourself.

There are two ways of making the doll, pixel shading or tool shading. There is more on here:

He is tool shaded, first I got the base, then I add an outline around him then used the burn and doge tools in paint shop pro.

TrekkieMage · **Mon Aug 20, 2007 10:30 am**

Cute!

Yeah, most of the stuff I've been doing is half-finished - work has been taking over my life

There probably isn't a whole ton of new stuff because the server crashed recently and we lost a few weeks worth of posts. But there is some good stuff around ^_^
