Currently, the wizard is.
I have the weird habit of giving names to my large electricy-sucking appliances. And lately, my computer Filia (like the dragon Filia yes)
as failed me. I decided it was time to upgrade her. I've been searching for a computer that had certain things (like a dvd player) that
used to be extra when I bought Filia that now seem to be standard (one store I went in only sold flat screens).
Have I been out of the loop that long? Have computers upgrated so much since then? Or is this just flashy things?
I know I don't like flat screens. They make colors bizarre and that's really bad for making art.
So I eventually found and old-fashion computer with a big box for a screen but with all the new stuff inside!
I'm planning on buying that baby (after a few more weeks of salary is gained of course). I'm also planning on naming
it Howl ^_^
I'm thinking about donating Filia to my brother. (Altough he has kidnapping on his mind)
Now...to find a way to get photoshop CS without paying 700$. Does anyone know if they sell a student package?
oh, p.s.
I made a follow-up for the Zelgadis stripping comic. Here it is! Zelgadis gine Haywire part II : the fangirls strike back.
I'm rather proud of this page. It speaks very much for itself.
The idea of using different colours for the talk bubbles was shamelessly stol...inspired from Ichiban's cute icons ^_^

The comic is excellent! Zelgadis does not do well under pressure, it seems. And is "I made an icon! EE!" supposed to be me? XD (Lina being included at the end is great.)

Date: 2006-04-12 02:22 pm (UTC)I have photoshop 7.5 right now, but it's a crack copy and I really don't like using crack copies of things Even anime. The only anime I download is the one I know is never gonna get here. One of my friends downloads a lot and sometimes gives me her extras. I like having all that anime, but I can't help but feel a little guilty. Although, the american anime industry is making a whole lot of money off canadians! I bought a comic book yesterday and the Canadian suggested price on it was outrageous! 17.95 for a book originally 8.45! The comic owner only charged my 13.95 though, saying that that price was really stupid.
I think i'll check if my university as it at their librairy first. And i'll probably check for a few stores in canada too. Since 200 $ for you is obviously going to by more in canadian cash, i'll look around and see if I can get it for 200$ here ^_^ If it's all more expensive though, i'll get back to you on that one.
I depends what flat screen you have. Generally, a big box with a flat screen surface is excellent. However, a screen entierly flat (those board screens) usually as a less good color resolution, unless you pay for a really good screen that is about 600$ when a normal screen with a flat surface (flat surfaces are really good!) is cheaper.
And there would be a quality difference between mac and pc since mac is art oriented.
Yeah, I don't think zel does well under pressure either. I'm thinking of using that again in part three.
And maybe...who knows XD Icons are fun.

Date: 2006-04-13 12:46 am (UTC)Hummm...a cameo...perhaps...but I don't think the fangirls are going to appear next episode. I'm thinking fangirl attack in episode four. Next episode is purely going to be zel and lina madness I fear...
Besides, you're difficult to draw XD
