Clutch

Just let me know

Well those were collateral damage Changing the breast structure required it... as for the choker, I removed it because a fellow over on conceptart.org did a paint-over to show me his thoughts on improving the chest, and his paint-over got rid of the choker for clarity. I saw that and immediately liked having that collar bone popping up a bit, so I went with it.

What confuses me is that you said it reads better except the breasts... but the chest structure was the part that I was deliberately trying to improve. Ok maybe I'm not confused by that so much as I am saddened

Anyways I'm going to edit my previous post of the image with a few touch-ups instead of posting the image all over again. But from this point forward I will force myself to not touch the image again. I just realized that I have never done a landscape in my entire life, so I need to move on to that and stop dwelling on this one.

Except? But that was the only thing I changed

You are correct about the shadow of the hammer... I did make a shadow for that, and I suspect that somewhere in my photoshop file is a layer that I hid a while ago and forgot to turn on.

Yes, in theory. It can be done through a method called "eyepiece projection", where the camera (with it's own lens intact) is pointed directly into the eyepiece, focused to infinity. Some still astrophotography is done this way... if fact my first attempts at astrophotography were done using this method.

The problem that you will run into is getting the camera to stay fixed and pointed directly into the eyepiece. There are special eyepiece projection mounts that you can buy for $30-40 which will accomplish this task by essentially holding the camera up to the eyepiece, however I think they are designed for small point-and-shoot cameras.

This this this, a million times this.

I'm actually thinking of seeing if I can get in on a life drawing course at a local college, just because it's the best kind of drawing practice. Nothing beats drawing from a live model. And asking someone to model for you can be kind of awkward, it's easier to just go to a class.

But if you were into dead chicks, the size of your potential dating pool would increase by.... billions I think.

Something to think about.

In other news, I noticed that Livestream now supports dual displays on Macs (before I couldn't get it to record on the cintiq, so it was pretty worthless for me), so I think I'd like to try doing that sometime if anyone is interested. I love talking about art.

Yes for planetary images you really have to use a webcam or some other sort of CCD. I bought a webcam from Phillips, the SPC900NC, took off the lens and replaced it with an adapter that allows it to plug into the scope like a regular eyepiece. It's a full color camera, which is not great for astrophotography because you lose detail when the channels are combined. So I also have a monochrome CCD camera... I shoot that through color filters to get each of the color channels (r, g, b, and sometimes luminance) then combine them in photoshop.

But the idea of using a webcam is simple... air turbulence causes the image you are seeing/imaging to be distorted. Recording a video, instead of taking single frames at a time, allows you to get around that by capturing lots of frames in a very short time. Then you simply use software (Registax) to grab the best frames and make your image from that.

Keep an eye on Conceptart.org, every so often they cut the prices of their classes in half, from $90 USD to $45. I think the classes usually run 3-4 hours.

Yeah they do seem a bit flattened..

I -really- wanted to be done with this one oh well

I was thinking that I just wanted some panties on the ground

Liberty wasn't an option because I didn't want any actual nudity. Plus, I don't think there's any rules against going commando when you spank someone.. just do what feels right

Ah I thought that looked familiar!

Actually I may even be thinking of a different one by Massive Black
