New Graphic Tablet ❣

Last week I got my hands on Intous Manga, a different Wacom brand. I was starting to doubt wither it was worth it or not. It was! The tablet is smaller than my first one, which saves space since I usually work with pen and papers scattered on my table. Although small it works magnificently! The pen is even lighter.

My imaginary manga cover lol
I had to admit I had initial problems when I was about to download the program but I'm glad Wacom's technical service helped me and in less than a week to boot! - Not like in Italy :P
With Clip Art Studio I'm hoping to make some comic panels once again other than artworks and...why not? A real one shot manga. Haha... We'll see for now.  

The substitute nibbles were actually on the back of the tablet

Here's a preview of the work in progress for a request on DA.

Random Thinking

   Come state? How are you? I'm surprisingly calm despite knowing how long I haven't been working on either Black Lotus or my own VNs. I find it really disturbing since I have so much ideas I need to get out of my head. Everyday I inevitably come up with something new and I don't have enough time. At least that's what I think... Luckily summer is due soon and I can't wait to work day and night on my projects again.
   The short KN I have in mind well focus more on backgrounds which means other than sprite work I'll start practicing backgrounds as well. It takes a lot of work and my knowledge regarding shadowing is that of a complete beginner. 
    Around summer I'll attempt to build Strange Chemistry's main blog with posts solely about game updates. This blog will become my personal thoughts' dump - or something like that haha...- but I won't mind if you drop by some time. ( ´•౪•`)
   Collabs for games are going to be rare since as you clearly notice I'm extremely problematic changing styles whenever I think it's all wrong. I hope to still be able to work with Pocoscon once again though, she's such a great writer and a great friend. 


   PS. I miss Grooveshark (╥_╥)

Contemplating....11

   Happy Labor's Day! This holiday will be the last break for me before summer vacation comes and I can work on my games again. Last time you heard of me was 2 months ago and since then I haven't posted anything at all. -I apologize!-  ๑•́ㅿ•̀๑) ᔆᵒʳʳᵞ
    It's quite difficult to work on artworks with my busy life, not to mention mood drops which happens often much to my dismay. So I'm looking forward for summer to continue all my delayed works!
    So today I learned Grooveshark shut down. To think I've been using it for at least 3 years... I listen their  music stream whenever I had to draw or study for hours so I'm sad about it's closure, overall it has been a great experience -I mean I rediscover bands which has more or less forgotten- .
    Now I'm looking for other online music streaming, this time "legal" - but Grooveshark will still be no.1 for me - and for now I'm satisfied with what I've found.
     For the BL project I'm working I'm starting to do Keith sprite and beginning some draft works for Sakura. - I have 4 characters left to go!-


   Regarding this blog, I mentioned a while back about the possibility of moving site. I still can't choose between Wordpress or Tumblr but the fact about moving is true. Until then I will continue posting here. Have a nice day!
