Sketchwich is a collective art blog from the artists at Arena.net, the developers for the game Guild Wars. They have an insane amount of talent and make me weep. Go check it out.

Ok, I’ve finally worked out how to get the wp-tagcloud under control and deactivated Ultimate Tag Warrior. UTW was moosing the ‘save and continue’ options in the admin. Phew.
I’m trying to learn to paint again…
One thing I’ve noticed about my work when I paint is that it lacks contrast, so I’m trying to force myself to paint with harsher lighting. I can’t say as I pulled it off spectacularly here, but it’s just a start I suppose. I’m also finding myself rather frustrated with trying to find the perfect app. Painter has just too much, Painter Essentials too little. Photoshop, I find next to impossible to paint in, there just seems to be no natural feel to it at all.
The above image was rendered in Alias Sketchbook, as usual.. but let’s face it – it’s a dead app. Autodesk have done nothng to move the product forward since buying Alias out, which is a crying shame as with just a few small adjustments it would’ve been the finiest tool out there, bar none. I’m currently playing with Open Canvas on trial version as an alternative, but not having a huge amount of luck re-creating the brushes I’m most fond of from ASP.
