hey! do you happen to be at anime expo 2024? I too happen to be at anime expo 2024! I'm helping my friend sell objects in the artist alley at table C02!

consider purchasing some of her many dark souls and video gamey wares. you can also buy some cool stickers! wow I wonder who drew some of these!

and do you remember this little punk standee??

look at him again

my natural state trends towards chaos and disorganization so i have to make up for it somewhere

pater! i see your reblog. pureref is a good program, but if you start saving a LOT of reference, or want some sort of database-type thing that functions more like an offline tumblr/pinterest with tags, i'd recommend checking out allusion. pureref is good on a project-to-project basis, but started to become unwieldy when i started to jam hundreds of photos in there

Pivot! Has anyone ever told you you are a organization god? Because you are.

set up an image gallery 4 ur own website:

hello. with the instability and uncertainty of the various social medias in use today, its been the "cool new thing" to get back to doing the "cool old thing" and make custom html websites again. independence!

my friends have asked me how to set up an image gallery type thing for their own websites enough times that i made this tutorial a while back:

uhhh if this link breaks in the future for whatever reason let me know and i'll update it lol

why use glightbox over the zillion other image gallery lightbox things out there? well at the time this was the best one that suited my preferences: it has clickable arrows on the sides, an X button, keyboard left/right controls, a caption/description box, didnt require you to get a noncommercial license, etc. nowadays you could probably look into implementing something more modern like https://photoswipe.com/, but you're on your own there.

📣 clip studio paint is having a 60% off sale from now until june 23rd 11:59pm pst (deadline is actually june 24 1am pst but whatever)

that means perpetual v4.0 is $23.40 and ex is $180.60. updates from 3.0->4.0 is pro->pro 17.49 and ex->ex 50.39

question and answer segment ⬇

is clip studio paint good i do not like adobe so i use this instead of photoshop. i like it and i like drawing in it

whats the difference between pro and ex ex doesn't have the 24 frames animation limit that pro has and it also has a lot more comic page and comic printing features. if you dont do multi-page comics or animation just get pro

should i buy now? i think if you wait until november or december for their last sale of the year you can get 5.0 also. so if you dont really need it now you could just wait i guess

is upgrading to csp 4.0 worth it compared to the csp version im using right now??? look at the features comparison list here and see if there is anything that strikes your fancy. features that i cared for off the top of my head: 2.0 added liquify across multiple layers, align/distribute tools, and proper word wrap for text. 3.0 added better mesh transformation controls, made timelapse more efficient, and webp import/export support (lol). 4.0 added better snapping and you can now select multiple brushes at once in the menu to move or delete them (HUGE)

how do i upgrade to 4.0 from 2.0. or 1.0 youd have to upgrade twice, once up to 3.0 and then again to 4.0, so honestly id just buy a new license. you should buy a new license if you have 1.0 regardless so you can continue to have access to 1.0 imo cuz thats the only one that doesnt have the online checks

aw does it still have the online checks yes but its not every day. its like, either every 3 days or 14 days, something like that. they changed it from being every 24 hours after everyone got mad when 2.0 came out

im a time traveller from the future. the 4.1 feature update in october or whatever added something lifechanging incredible why cant i use it! perpetual license only gives you up to 4.0 features. which includes 4.0 and 3.2, 3.1, 3.0 etc etc. you dont get 4.1 or 4.2 stuff. you have to wait for 5.0 perpetual for those. if youre impatient you can pay 11 dollars for an update pass that lasts 1 year and is functionally the same as a 1 year subscription. the update pass is only available if u have perpetual license and never goes on sale so its always 11 dollars which is coincidentally about the same price as an on-sale 1 year sub.

i use ipad tablet or android phone perpetual license is only for desktops. mobile devices can only have subscription. 1 year sub is on sale for $10.79 though (its usually $27)
