STUDIO MX includes FIREWORKS, DREAMWEAVER, and all that other stuff. Way too expensive. You just need FLASH. And, yes, get the educational discount or whatever discount you can.

Cultivate his bananas? Is that a new euphemism the kids are using? I don't know what cultivating one's bananas has to do with painting. Oh, is that what I'm not doing right?

CwStone, Flash is a good all-purpose program that works pretty well and is very solidly supported. It's expensive or cheap, depending on what you're used to. It's expensive if the price is more than ...

That's a tough one, digital artwork being perhaps more akin to photography than traditional painting. Maybe digital should be treated as such, so much money buys so big a print. Of course, this is w ...

Forgive what is undoubtedly ignorance and simple thinkin' on my part, but one advancement I think is brilliant is the mouse-gestures in Opera. You draw a shape while holding down a button to close wi ...

Who cares? If want to make video games, make them. If you want to paint concepts for movies, paint them. If you want to hang your work in a gallery - well, prepare to starve. Look at Walt Disney. ...

BadMange, everything but the scrapbook is real. The scrapbook and photos are a mix of 3D and Photoshop.

It does, though, matter how you're using the work, and in reality, the courts decide what is ok and what isn't. A sculptor somewhat recently lost a case in which he made a 3D copy of a photo. But ag ...

Art is a thing that advances, like any other technology, philoshophy, or discipline, so holding on to old ways could be considered, for lack of a better word, wrong. Ford was a great businessman and, ...

fukifino, there are indeed many conflicting statements in this thread, and, if I may say so, many misconceptions. PROFIT is not part of the equation. Permission from the artist may not be necessary. ...

fukifino, I downloaded Firebird, and I'm now testing with it, trying to get it to work there, as I understand Firebird is one of the most standards-compliant browsers. Thanks.

BadMange, do you mea ...

hi beat. Thanks. Unfortunately, no, I think the only way to see it is via a DVD the organization put out, but even I don't have a copy. Thanks for asking, though Exclamation

Derivative work is common and legal, depending on how close the piece is to the original work and how the original is used. It does not, despite the theory that seems to have stuck, matter if you're ...

Sup, dudes. I recently helped a friend finish a short film and then ended up doing the web site. The pages are CSS, and they validate, but I need to test how the pages look in different browsers and ...

Wow, Ron, very educational tutorial. I see how, after Step 5, you can get all kinds of different strokes. It makes Loomis's maddening parralel strokes make sense - they're just the finish!

Thanks ...

You're welcome.

You know, I like looser lines. Artists really seem to go through the pattern of simplification over the years, and I think indeed there is something paradoxically both simpler and ...

Welcome, welcome, Mr. Del Carmen. With your presence, the forum has just taken a step up. I look forward to more posts.

Oh, this picture is cool. Reminds me of an old movie title sequence. The ...

Note: If in Hawaii, don't go skinny dipping in waterfalls within walking distance of Craig's house. Some guys are the types that will GIVE you the shirts of their backs. Now we've met the other kin ...

I plan to upgrade, but I'm a little annoyed with Adobe's new validation scheme, which requires online or phone registration and limits the install to (I think) two machines. I usually install it on m ...

Fantastic, visual myriad. I love it all. Very nicely done.

elle oh elle!

Holy moly.

That's incredible.

Exactly. Art is not an invention. It's an observation. Defining it doesn't change a thing.

I think the thing that keeps people from seeing digital art as an artform is the lack of any standard format. In painting, you have the painting [on canvas]. In writing, the novel or play or poem. ...

The ones who agonize over the labels, like art and entertainment or art and illustration, are too concerned with being, not doing. It's like the fools who argue, violently sometimes, that there are " ...

My basic reply was that I know it but I have trouble doing it, and they are replying that they can do it everything, and easily.

That's just my point, Light. You don't post anything close to a b ...

Yeah, and here's a tip, for those taking notes from me:

If you press a pencil against paper and then move it, either vertical or horizontally across the paper plane, it will make a mark. This mark ...

Well if droning on and on is a talent, I don't think Light is talentless. Seriously, Light, my biggest problem with your posts is that the content could be condensed to a few sentences. It's pretty ...

Well I can't compete with better advice from better artists like Light, but I can offer this:

Whatever you're drawing, first draw the outside contour. If it's a human figure, draw the very outsid ...

Nice work. I like the site too. Thanks for no Flash Smile

Your approach reminds me of Ron Lemen's stuff. Did you go to the same school?
