Comic Books for the Masses?

burtabreu — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 00:26:22 +0000

I like to draw and have often thought of creating a comic book. My character skills are still a bit underdeveloped and getting a consistent result from frame to frame takes a lot of time. Using Flash as a way to build reusable characters to pose and render out as static comics (or with some [...]

Deviantart Powerhouse

burtabreu — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 07:58:36 +0000

This is just a quick note for those promoting their art. If you haven’t done so already consider adding a Deviantart page. I added three brush packs over the past 3 days. My site generated 200 or so downloads. Deviantart generated 1300 during the same period. It makes sense to cross link your various blogs [...]

DogWaffle, PD Pro and PD Particles

burtabreu — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:49:14 +0000

Ever since Dan Ritchie created DogWaffle it has had a fanatical following. I tried the demo some time back and loved the particle brushes. When they rolled that feature into a separate product called PD Particles -that only cost about $20- I purchased it. I recently dug up some presets I created and posted them as [...]

Wallpaper Madness

burtabreu — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 05:42:19 +0000

I decided to try my hand at a few desktop wallpapers. Not sure how good -or bad- they are. My aging monitor seems a bit off -stuff that looks good to me seems to be too dark, too light or too saturated to other people; can’t figure it out. It’s also possible I screwed up [...]

Cool Flash Component - Particulator

burtabreu — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 06:07:41 +0000

I’m playing with a new Flash component by the folks at FlashExtension.NET. It’s called the Particulator and it offers users an easy way to add some cool particle effects to their projects. You can adjust many parameters and object properties using sliders. Smoke, fire, sparks - it’s great to be able to do this right in [...]

Ducks Amuck

burtabreu — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 08:01:28 +0000

I thought the post title had a clever ring to it - until I did a quick search on Wikipedia and realized why. That really was a gem, I’ll have to watch it again. Duck Amuck on Wikipedia I wonder if anything we think is original? Maybe our ideas and inspired thoughts are nothing more than [...]
