Character: Rufus
Tools: Corel Painter

I haven't drawn in a while. On that note, dear self, in future, please do not be so stupid as to download an obviously malicious file, thus screwing up your computer and by extension losing a good few working days that could otherwise have been

i am so sleepy and jetlagged and stuff but before I flail unto bed I will say:

1. I agree. I was ridiculously excited when the thing arrived in the mail.

2. I'm glad you lived. Full stop.

3. Ah, how I've missed your flaily, joy-inducing comments. Again, welcome back!

p.s. Watched all of Baccano! in two sittings. I am going to have to rewatch it because it initially confused the hell out of me (I'm not good with dates, or when there's an excess of characters) but by the end I was in love. Let's see. Multiple story lines/perspectives (tick). Non-chronological narrative (tick). Psychopathic (to varying degrees), badass characters - both male and female (tick). People in suits (TICK TICK TICK). Now I will understand one half of the cross-over in I Met a Man (Save Me),one of my favourite drabbles by you. All I need to do now is rectify that other half...*goes in search of american gods*

1. Hohoho! Which version is it?

2. Me too, me too. *yawns* Still so damned sleepy and unaccustomed to the warmth and humidity back here.

3. FLAILING I AM GOOD AT. And god, there's so much stuff to flail about. *stares at the to-do list of doom*

p.s HOORAY. Hehehe! Baccano! does take a watch-through or two (or three, or four), but there are just so many lovely characters that it's insane and brilliant and wriggle-inducing. \o\ I do love me my Gandors - and, if you're on IJ, you can check out the community 1931, where I've done some translation work (albeit very bad translation work). :DDDD

AMERICAN GODS. I CAN SEND A COPY TO YOU.

1. Corel Painter X <3

2. Warmth and humidity. Too much of it here, where I am. Meant I couldn't sleep last night. As a result am falling asleep at keyboard. *joins in with yawn*

3. To-do lists seem to grow at exponential rates.

American Gods! Do you mean a hard copy or e-book?

[karanguni]

1. I've only ever played with Painter 8 and 9 (god, you leave art alone for a few years and this is what happens), so 10 must be excellent!

2. Tellllllllllll me about it. Sweat x100000000.

3. Indeed they do.

I have the ebook, but I just got you a shiny new hard copy. You want both? :D

[dnatio_memoriae]

Oh my.

For lack of a better way to express myself: O.O

Are you serious? Well I suppose, 2 X THE BOOK = 2 X THE <3, YES? *fails at math*

I adore having hard copies of things, but I'm also starting to think that e-books have their use - the ability to magnify text is a huge bonus when your eyes start to get tired, as mine do, after too much reading/viewing/functioning in general. Oh, the woes of ageing! I believe it's a case of nineteen going on seventy, here.
