New Graphics Tablet

[dagronrat]

Got a wacom intuos tablet for my birthday a week or so back.

OH MY GOODNESS the difference with my old tiny cheap tablet, it’s amazing. It even makes a nice paper-skritching like sound. Squee.

And it came with a free copy of Corel Painter. I am not very familiar with this program (as one can probably tell from the above) but I have very much enjoyed my first proper try of it today. Definitely one to play with some more & learn. :D

I must admit I'm not so fond of Corel Painter because it's very unreliable despite all the great things you can do with it. But if you remember to save and backup every stroke you do, it will be fine. Congrats to the new Intuos. I love the paper-skritching sound as well. It was one of the advantages of the Intuos over the iPad. :)

Hee, thanks! :D

(Also how's it going? I'm currently mesmerized by the train-wreck that is brexit and looking forward to a couple of days visiting Wales for the first time.)

My health has decided to break down again and I'm working on my change of lifestyle (more sleep, less stress, better time management). *sigh But the weather is getting warmer here. :) Well, I hope brexit doesn't effect you too much. It's a shame that we can't travel that easily anymore, though. We should have met up while it was still in the EU.

I keep telling you, Sleep is GOOD! D: Huuuugs!

We're still part of the EU until Westminster get their act together and invoke Article 50, after which they have 2 years to negotiate before the UK is officially out. So travel should be unimpeded until 2018 :D /optimist
It's all more likely to affect my sister than myself directly. Certainly not pleased about it though. :/

Hope your health gets better soon. I understand I might have a fic of yours that's finished to read in not too long? ;) (Double hugs!)

Well, GaT is almost ending (actually it has more or less ended and the last chapters are being written), so you can read it if you want since it's really long. XD

Well, since you're in Scotland, you might belong to the EU again soon? There are speculations that Scotland will become independent and join the EU in a few years.

Hahaha, which would require another bloody referendum that'll probably be close to 50/50 and that's provided Westminster play along (unlikely, but then Westminster currently have a lot to answer for.) If we do have a vote it might be next summer, at latestish spring 2018, but even the head of the Scottish Nationalist Party doesn't seem all that keen to do it so much as aware this might be a necessary opportunity to do so (if it succeeds, she'll be delighted & unprepared, if not, she'll be out of a job probably). (Either way, it would most likely be a not so good thing. The "United" Kingdom seems so screwed right now.)

I'll most certainly start reading it once I'm caught up with Claude's latest fic. XD Yeay!

Uh, let's hope for the best.

I do know that sleep is important but the time it takes bothers me. *is too greedy when it comes to time

Yay. :)

I think of it this way: Quality Sleep = Quality Job, and not having to redo things 20 times over. ;)

:D

You're so sensible. I should be more like that as well. I have this obsessive trait which makes life really difficult for me.

[dagronrat.livejournal.com]

*pats* Saying that, I do end up doing things several times sometimes, just because I'm so darn clumsy. :P

(Hugs) Love you FS, just the way you are. To your health. :D

[fs-playground.livejournal.com]

Doing things several times over is actually all right since the quality improves that way. Doing them hundreds of times over, however... *shudders

XD I'm trying to improve since I get really sick from the stress I create for myself. I still hope that someone will invent a pill which makes sleep redundant, though. XD

[dagronrat.livejournal.com]

Oh gawds, that would be awful - sleep is the most relaxing activity I know!

[fs-playground.livejournal.com]

Haha. Well, it's in the nature of sleep. But eight hours more every day for fics and fanart. *starry eyes

[dagronrat.livejournal.com]

You're definitely a wide-awake dreamer. xD ♥

[fs-playground.livejournal.com]

Lol There are seven of me! And I easily get obsessed with the things I do. I have so many obsessions that I wish I could be immortal just to work on all of them.

That, or work while sleeping, which is what I'm trying to do these days (day-dreaming while falling asleep has become another hobby of mine).
