Description Just a preview for a piece I'm working on. You can see the sketch in the scraps area (although the entire background's different now). This character (Pathea) was painted with 37 layers.

Is this the same girl from "Someday"? I should go back and look at her again. Of course I'm faving this one. She's beautiful.

No, she's from that space story. I already have 2 more sketches for the "Someday" story, but those won't be done until some day. Heh.

I think I remember her now. "Arrival," right? They were in a ruin being attacked by spaceships shaped kinda like cell phones. (I'm actually looking at the picture this time.) I love that picture too. Silly me, the "Someday" girl has lighter hair and a different face. I should go back and look at the pictures before I refer back to them.

Good pic; 37 layers?!!! uuff, man If you use this number of layers in this girl, I can't imagine how many layers you use with landscapes with or without people...

It looks good as it is, and she's cute ^^

though I think it would be a little better with slightly darker shadows and/or brighter highlights to contrast more with the black BG... just my 2 cents ^^'

I have so got to get some more RAM so I can use that many layers. I'm currently stuck with 5-6, or I have to wait ten minutes for my system to catch up after each stroke.

Really, Nelson? "Inside Kim's Jet" has 50 layers (Just counted them). That's Photoshop Elements 2.0 on a 900MHz iBook with 640 megabytes of RAM. Don't know how that compares to PC thingies, but I have no problem making strokes or even smearing stuff with a large smudge tool set on the "chalk" brush, which has to be computation intensive. I just use however many layers it takes to preserve my ability to change my mind about stuff with minimal trouble and haven't had to worry about it since I was using the 366MHz clamshell.

Don't know what kind of RAM you have, but RAM is cheap. Go get yourself a nice big chip.

The RAM is the ish. I just need to crack open this casing and put in another 512 or so (I've only got a 256 in it at the moment - which was fine when I was just writing.

ziwu In reply to CommanderArgus [2006-10-18 06:59:24 +0000 UTC]

Go to Edit > Preferences and change the ram allocation for the program to 80% of total ram. It might help. I think its factory setting is 60%.

I've got that maxed. When I bought this system, MSWord was of primary importance, and I didn't discover what a RAM hog PSP8 was until I learned how to use layers. At 256, I simply need more.
