It was very informative and I enjoyed it. Thanks again BW.

Having to work when there's cool stuff going on just sucks...

Anyone have a couple million they can lend me so I can retire???

Sonuvabitch. I totally forgot about this.

This is very interesting and I totally did study Eisenstein and Kulashov.

I'm pretty sure I'll never do one of these webcasts, simply because I don't think I could talk about what I was doing or did from an intellectual standpoint. It'd be 30 minutes of "this just feels right to me".

Just listened to the recorded webcast. Good stuff. Like you said, it's a bit hard to keep up with what you were being asked in text since I can't see it on the tiny little screen, but it was still very informative.

I really like the discussion of overdone anatomy underneath clothes at the end, too. That sort of thing is why I'm such a fan of Alex Maleev. There's still those muscular figures, but they feel grounded in realism.

It was nice to have several people on board last night, and be able to hang out and discuss things. I think i'll do another one next thursday, maybe centered on drawing faces and making expressions since symmetry was an issue raised in regard to my work.

Ok, so I stopped drawing and watched a Rick James video. Then I logged in and said "hola" to Kat. And then city of heroes broke and doesn't work at all any more. Is this mere coincidence? Who's responsible for this--the spirit of Rick James? Kat? Castle?

There are people that need to die right now in Siren's and they're getting all cheeky because I'm not around to pounce on them. The person who comes up with the best conspiracy theory to explain this sad state of affairs will receive a small sketch of a body part...like a face or a shoe or maybe a fist or something.

Also I think thursday I'll be talking about using 3d in your 2d and doing some soul searching about how to tell if your being a hack.

Somehow, somewhere, it happened because someone got distracted by a nice pair of sweater melons.

Hey, don't try and blame your problems on me!

You really expect me to blame Rick James for my video card crapping out? I love Superfreak Kat!

Btw, Halflife 2 doesn't run either, so I guess it is a defective card. Does anyone think it could be anything else?

Maybe the driver broke. Update it to the current and see what happens?

Sounds like the vid card. I'd say if you have a spare lying around try using it and see if it works.

You may also want to check and see if the fans on the vid card are spinning, it MAY just be the fans went bad. I don't know what card you have, but occasionally that can cause an issue.

However I will say if the fans haven't been running right the card is probably darn near fried anyways.

We live in a wonderland today where you can get really decent videocards for about $90.

wow...I'm like 2 months late in seeing this thread...epic fail

Egh, I bought a new card and everything seems to be fine.

It occured to me that this Thursday is Thanksgiving in the States. Do people want me to go ahead with the Thursday night Livestream? Or should I postpone it until next week?

Yeah $200 is cool, but more than that and you're starting to pay too much for something that won't last you more than a couple of years anyway.

Well, if you upgrade as often as I do, that is.

Right now, though, you can get amazingly decent cards for $100, which I mention solely because the $100 mark seems to be a pretty common "oh crap, I need to replace this" price point. People aren't usually as willing to drop $200 to replace something.

Huzzah, what'd you get?

Also, if you hold it, I will try to remember to come listen, since I got no Thanksgiving due to Canadiosity.

Ok well I'll plan on doing one. If nobody shows maybe i'll just record me coloring something. If I get some people there I'm going to talk a bit about how I've been using 3d on this project.

Also I got a $70 card that was a generation or two beyond what came with my computer. I don't need cutting edge game graphics or anything. As long as it does a good job with my 3d apps and Photoshop I'm happy.

I can't attend that. It'd be like being stabbed over and over again.
