Speaking as a girl, amazing drawings definitely raise my opinion of a fellow, but if I didn't find him otherwise intelligent/attractive/sensible/good natured that wouldn't be enough to get him laid.

Some guy in New Zealand wants to ban cats nationwide. I think that's awesome. You kiwi NG folk should be proud of your country.

I saw him on the news and he was saying something like "cats should be forced to wear bells, because it's been proven that that reduces their killing of native birds by up to 50%", and I thought "that sounds reasonable. Bells aren't such a hassle for cat owners."

But then he quickly went into his crazy thing about cats being serial killers, and suddenly he sounded like a crazy person.

People like him should really learn that you don't have to go the whole nine yards.

You're both just jealous cause he's a great thinker of our time.
Wasn't this a South Park episode once, by the way? Eric Cartman became the Schindler of cats.

Besides the bells, I think there is a lot of sense in keeping cats indoors, or only letting them outside on a leash. With the main critique I hear against his suggestions being that he would limit what poeple can do within their own homes; that seems to me to be a healthy solution. Sure you can keep a cat in your house if you treat it right; but I don't allow you to go around and kill birds in public places; why should I allow your cat to do so?

Also; that's brilliant orn

I'm so sensible I look both ways before crossing the street, ladies.

Traditional art isn't necessarily expensive. You can draw on anything with almost anything, and a sketchbook and some writing utensils is a much cheaper initial investment than a tablet and a laptop is. Plus you're left with hard copies immediately, so you don't have to further invest in a printer, paper and ink for an equivalent product.

Assuming you already have a laptop it's possible to get a cheap tablet (I think Nae's mentioned a few). And if printing isn't crucial, you don't need to invest in that either. Now, buying a small set of pencils and some okay paper is still probably cheaper, but being set for drawing digitally isn't that much of a leap.

Most of you most likely already heard from my facebook page but i'm going to be selling prints of my pixel art pretty soon. I have a few ideas as to what kind of canvas paper I want to use but I thought i'd run it by you folks first. I'm pretty unfamiliar with the whole printing process, this being the first time iv'e ever done this. So if anyone here has a more extensive opinion as to what I should use feel free to chime in.

What i'm looking into now is Epson's bullshit and this dog shit.

I like the high quality matte papers, myself- the canvas will have extra texture that isn't necessary for printing, though I've used it for digital paintings that looked a lot like oil paintings. Glossy papers tend to be shiny and gross. Is there a printing place near you you can look at? I think they'd probably have samples. The velvet is probably nice but I've never printed on it.

I'd personally stay away from anything with texture when it comes to pixelart.. unless you have really big pixels.
