Photoshop, mine friend and enemy
To be fair it has been ages since I've gone near my tablet, but now that I've had a practice session I am rather displeased. I practiced with Labyrinth, because the hotness that is David Bowie never hurts for a muse and *le sigh* just not really anything workable came out of it. The last header I did involving teh Bowie was super awesome so maybe there is just no beating that, lol. I was thinking that maybe I'd do a comic header using Hush, because Hush has gorgeous Batman artwork or I could do Batwoman as I have that downloaded also so now I'm just torn. I'm not sure of the best way to work with comics. I think it's obvious that I shouldn't work against the text/natural framing of the comic art because that would just be giving myself an unnecessary headache. So really it's a matter of incorporating it in a way that I find aesthetically pleasing. I'm thinking I might go to Lindsey's under the pretense of helping her help Katie with math and use her interwebz for updating my screen cap collection (maybe some Vampire Diaries? it's sad that a teen vampire drama is really my most exciting night of television, I defend it with the hotness that is Ian Somerhalder I would have his babies in less than a heartbeat)., and seeing about the latest (or maybe at least CS3 which I had) version of photoshop. CS2 and I just have never gotten along as well though now I am used to it, but why not? It's something to do while I hunt screen caps. I just don't even know what I want. I feel irritatingly between fandoms right now. Actually, I'm in Batman I just don't know where to start with the comics to satisfy myself.
Also, I really want to get into Nightwing and Red Robin, because talking to Anna about them makes me crave all things Batman. Also Deadpool, I am excited for Deadpool. I think I am going to get all of the back issues of Deadpool Corps when I go to Moreno Valley on... Tuesday? I was going to go to day but it was all rainy and I didn't want to deal with the stupid people on the freeway who would invariably act like they've never driven in rain before (or never driven at all in some cases).
*sigh* I've come to the conclusion that I will never find a man, because I am forever doomed to live in fantasy land where all awesome fictional men reside and I'll be too busy having mental orgies to do anything else. Funnily enough I don't find myself attracted to Batman/Bruce Wayne ever really. I mean I love his character he kicks ass and takes names, but while his character is very engaging I'm just never into him. Terry McGuiness from Batman Beyond as Batman maybe or Nightwing as Nightwing maybe, but for some reason actual Batman just no attraction really. While that was a confession we all probably already knew about me (and something I'm sure I've mentioned before) for some reason it seemed worth mentioning again. Maybe it was thinking about Ian Somerhalder.
ANYWAY, I hope to get back on the photoshop wagon. I've been doing okay at the writing wagon. I'm back to blogging more regularly anyway, I worked on a poem today, the other day I got a start on a kind of sort of short story; truly the macabre route I want to go has been holding me back for a couple of days. It isn't as if the story is completely ghastly, but in some ways I want it to be. I blame my current foray into 'The Tommyknockers' for revisiting the thought, but my imagination had already come up with most of it long ago. My plan is to finish it sometime soon as I know the idea won't leave me alone. However, back to the topic at hand, I'm just holding off on the paid account as I feel it will be all the sweeter when our internet has caught up with the times, finally. I know I'm not going to bother re-doing/hunting down a comprehensive layout until then, but that's why I'm practicing the photoshop now to get back into the swing. It doesn't help that I'm not really sure what I want. I mean I could go completely abstract or something work with brushes it doesn't necessarily have to be a fandom, but I can be guilty of indecisiveness as much as anyone else.
Anyway, yay blogging habit, tomorrow after work and working out I'm going to revisit my writing guides. Practice makes perfect whether it's literary or genre fiction. If anything I can at least get down ideas and/or outline. There's no point in wasting my time checking RPs when I get e-mail updates for it or facebook when I get phone updates and etc... such creative ways I find to waste time. =P
Anyway, I need to go to bed so I'm not a zombie tomorrow, farewell.
