Haven’t I been trying for ages to find a “ginger ale” that fits my palate? Don’t I love that very spicy taste that gets tossed out by most of the ones that aren’t bought in small quantities in a liquor store?
Don’t I really need to figure out how I managed to capture that in my first batch of homemade syrup but haven’t gotten since then?
Completely unrelated, but aren’t I rather pissed off tonight at Netflix for blocking all Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel access, with their tech support just giving the old “go talk to your ISP” spiel rather than “we decided to block your entire ISP”?
Wonderful movie. Seeing those stars - along with Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood, Don Rickles, Harry Dean Stanton and others - doesn’t break your immersion in the movie.
No, what does that is when you suddenly see Cliff Clavin (John Ratzenberger) from Cheers. In uniform, with the same mustache, looking like he just walked off the Cheers set.
Did you know it wouldn’t have taken that long except I set resolution wrong the first go and had to redo everything? Wasn’t the art I’d already done for the other thing handy?
However, wasn’t Vardy a waste of space in the friendly with Portugal? Wouldn’t the irony be that Leicester’s strength was the team itself, and not the individual players? And isn’t their real loss Nigel Pearson’s move to Derby?
If the workflow was something like take photo, grab bit I want in Photoshop, apply filters/actions/burns/dodges to get something that was a sketch with roughly the right contrast/definition/lines, put it in Illustrator and make it a line drawing, then pull that back into PS to do a bit of cleanup of the output to fix strokes/clean up sections, would that make sense?
Am I sad my ability to make a nice drawing is limited by using a laptop with a trackpad that doesn’t help to produce nice clean lines?
Since I’ve only been really working on the photo->line drawing thing for a few weeks, am I hoping to find something more streamlined eventually?
I’m using different software because I can’t afford the adobe tax right now but can I suggest cleaning up the line art before putting it into Illustrator? Isn’t it rare for me to tweak more than a node or two once I get the raster vectorized?
Aren’t I kind of excited that On Being has a show today about the evolution of capitalist morality, as I’m also knee deep in philosophical and sociological essays on the (dodgy) concept of authenticity?
Had I never heard of that before your post? Aren’t I fascinated and appreciative that you taught me something new today? Aren’t I out of likes? (So what else is new???)
