Yeah, I'd just started to layer cardboard textures on my pictures so
I overdid it a bit. Nowadays I tend to keep it on lower opacities,
generally under 40%

Do you use Photoshop much?
π: 0 β©: 1
No I mostly draw my pictures by hand. I do use my computer for other works but mostly drawingsΒ

Photoshop is a powerful tool if you can get it. If not, GIMP pretty
much does the same thing for free.

I don't have any photoshop programs I know my father has photoshop he good with it.Β

Oh, you can't use his? It's really a wonderful resource.

I don't know how to use + he has it his houseΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh. Well, you could ask him to show you a thing
or two? Or you could just download GIMP for your
own computer and learn that one instead

I'll think aboutΒ

No rush. It's just something to think about if
you think you'll want to explore further in your
arts or pursue it as a career.

Ok I'm planning to be an author as I have written novels and short stories.
I got one book waiting to hear back from 3 publishers and going to work on another novel project along with other stuff to work on. I enjoy writingΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
Yowza, 3 publishers? Nice! I've only completed one novel
myself, and it was really only a first draft
Writing is a lot of fun, too true.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah 3.Β
First was Bean but there waiting period is over 9 to 12 months which is almost a year.
Other two are Tor UK & BBB "Blood Bound Books" I should get an email from Tor UK by the end of June and BBB at the end of July or Aug.Β
Keeping my fingers crossed and hope I get my writing off the ground.Β

Well, good luck! If you're a success that'd be pretty
sweet 
published?
π: 0 β©: 1
Only one. It was for an online magazine and I never got paid for the story.
It was an cyberpunk, horror story called [Hacked] and the most annoying thing was I was told the story could only have 1.500 words which in total is 10 pages. I never wanted to write another story that magazine as making a story that short was hard.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sounds like "flash fiction" or fragment since most short
stories are a few thousand words
get paid. My brother submits stories to websites too and
it's slow going trying to get a paying gig for him too.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah I asked the guy to pay me as I wasn't going to posting these for free and never said anything back.
I don't want to post any of my work online I want to publish it so I know it's going to sell and I'll be making moneyΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm. Well, I'd like to make money too, naturally, but
I posted my novel to DA as I was writing it because I
knew the feedback from the people here would help
me to improve my writing.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well when I get an one of those 3 pubishers telling me they like my book then I'll making cash from my novels.Β
Say when I do I let you know so could have an copy of my bookΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
That'll be good
a publisher yet because I don't think I've got my
writing quite up to snuff for it yet. Nice.

I had to look through a lot and what's shocking is most publishers don't want any new works coming to them and these were big name publishers which shocked me. I was lucky to find those who would take the time to look over my work.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, some publishers won't take anything unless it's
from an agent or unless you pay them to read it
This is why a lot of authors just e-publish or go to print
on demand sites
π: 0 β©: 1
I know and if I had money I would do that.
I don't like those e-reader things. There not kool as reading a bookΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree about that
can make a larger profit. I just wish I had more finished work
to put out there.
When you write your books do you create an outline first?
π: 0 β©: 1
When I write a book I state what year, date and place is as I like to tell the reader where everything is happening. I'm very detail with a lot of things in the bookΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
I see, very setting intensive. Do you worry over things like
narrative voice and stuff like that? I'm troubled about that
in my own work.
π: 0 β©: 1
Some stories of mine have narrative at the start of the story but it's most shown through the main characters of the story.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, so you prefer first person? It's a good way to go.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah first person is better way to write. Some times I have more then one person the story is being told throughΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
Some writers do multiple points of view, I never much cared
for that unless it was done in the form of letters or journals
like in Bram Stokers "Dracula"

That's just me though. If you check out
my novel let me know what you think, it's
collecting dust in my gallery.
π: 0 β©: 1
Where can I find your novel in?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's in my "Writings" folder
in there as well.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ok I'll check them outΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll let you know what I think of itΒ

I see someone with a key-hole eye!
Not really sure why, but the coloring reminds me of a David Lynch film. 
I like your slightly psychedelic pictures like this. Very cool!
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed. See what happens if you poke him in it
Ooo David Lynch is fun times. I shoulda put in a dancing
midget and some curtains
Thank you, Tormenty!

I've only seen Dune and part of Blue Velvet. I got to the part where the nitrous-addict
was having some weird kind of sex. o.o Kind of hilarious. What's his best movie?
You're welcome, Foxy!
