New Ninja Beaver business cards are winging their way to us, yay!
These form a collectable set too, numbered from 1 to 24, they are lifted from the (recently re-visited and improved) Ninja Beaver 24 Forms Tai Chi chart.
Only we know how many currently exist. Buahahahaha!
I had something of a desire to try and work in Manga Studio last night, so I sketched up another dragon and imported it. Well, when I say imported… I spent 20 minutes trying to import it, 5 minutes downloading the manual and another ten trying to work out how to get it to show up in the frame.
Once I did though, it was great fun to use.
For black and white I can’t see any downsides to it, but I have been completely unable to get it to do anything sensible in colour. I find the myriad options a bit overwhelming too. I’m not sure I need all the guffery of “Story” and “Pages”, as I would most likely assemble any book with Indesign in the final instance rather than Manga Studio. I guess it’s my fault for working in PS and Illustrator so much that I’ve never taken the time to learn other applications. Painter 11 is another expensive app I bought and I hardly ever fire that up.
Well… apart from Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. I love that programme so much it hurts, and am forever trying to pimp it on people. Below is the sketch from ASBP I imported into Manga Studio (eventually).
It’s been a couple of weeks now since we took possession of the keys to our new flat, and despite a couple of hiccups involving a somewhat narrow staircase we’re settling in ok.
There were a couple of casualties; the sofa and the wardrobe flatly refused to go up the interior stairs. A bit of a surprise, seeing as the wardrobe was a slimline one and the sofa, a two seater. Luckily, the parents have been most accomodating and my mother looked on it not so much as losing floor space but gaining some furniture… on my last visit though the sofa had been banished to the garage, poor thing. At this juncture I would like to thank Tiger Louie from the forum for her invaluable linkage to intosofa, and we are awaiting our new self-assembly sofa with baited breath. Not least because I think we’re both getting a bit fed up with eating at our desks!
We’ve also finally succumbed to the delights of a large flatscreen HDTV. We were sat there on the floor at the old flat after humping crap about for three days and the prospect of attempting to get our old 32″ CRT TV up these stairs was going to be the proverbial last straw. So I threw caution to the wind and ordered a new TV. Wehey!
Someone else got to hump that up the stairs.
