Okay I’m still trying to figure out how to do this. How do you do the sunhawk wrote. etc. Anyways I know you meant $110 Canadian. And if you want to pick it up thats fine. But if Drag0nfeathers is still interested than she? can have first say since she? was here first.

Yeah i realized afterwards that i wasn’t clear whether drag0nfeathers was actually interested or not but she did come first so don’t let me get in the way if she is still actually interested because first come first serve ^_^

Wolfen mentioned getting me PSP, so I guess I need to research that a little. Maybe I can even get it here, but it’s probably more expensive.

PSP is less expensive than Photoshop but it can still cost a few hundred dollars, last time i checked. I was in a computer store the other day trying to find CorelDraw which was also expensive :/

I meant to add, drag0nfeathers were you still interested in the ruby? You were here first, don’t let me trample you in my haste!

Okay, you want it for how much Canadian? The $145 or the $110? I guess that’s the best offer. Are you willing to pay the shipping?

I was thinking the $110 ^_^ If i came to pick up the Windstone and saved you the price and hassle of packing it to be shipped, could you lower the price a little more? Waterloo isn’t too far from me and I may be able to get a ride over there to pick that pretty dragon up ^_^

Awesome, Sunhawk! This is just what I’ve been looking for. I want to start getting into pixel art. Thanks.

You’re welcome! 😀

If you have a request for a tutorial, if i know about that specific kind of pixel art, I can try my hand at writing it for you ^_^ And if instead you learn elsewhere and get a good handle on it, it would be equally awesome to have you write the tutorial yourself! ^_^

I’m also interested in the Ruby Scratching and i’m not too far away from you just north of Toronto 🙂 Would you be willing to do that price in Canadian?

I’m not sure if I ever mentioned this, but I just graduated from McMaster University this spring and I got a degree in Fine Art and Multimedia. For the multimedia part, I had to come up with a senior thesis project. After talking to a lot of people in my art program and due to some interesting experiences we had trying to get a modest multimedia lab going for the fine art people, I decided to make my thesis a website dedicated to teaching artists about multimedia. My fine art university experience showed me that there was a definite lack of connection being encouraged between multimedia students and art students. The trick was – how to create a website that doesn’t go a mile a minute teaching about digital cameras, scanners and software without feeling like I was “talking down” to people who were probably smarter than me! LOL

So I decided, why not make it possible for artists to talk to other artists? Instead of me trying to write all the tutorials I thought should be included, why not make a website where everyone could contribute? Thus I decided to set up a wiki, which is the same software that powers Wikipedia, and then the only tutorials I would personally need to write was to teach everyone else how to write a basic tutorial!

To that end, this is my pride and joy – the Paint to Pixel Studio

I tried to create a user-friendly space where artists could meet and share advice and tips about computer/technology in terms of how you use it to promote your art and sell your art. Right now, the only thing keeping this project from living up to my dream is that I lack participation. If anyone has any suggestions about how to improve that, or wants to participate themselves on the site, please go ahead! You can edit any part of the site you like, except for the important pages like the home page and the “how to write a tutorial” page – I locked those just to prevent accidental erasing of the pages. Not that it would matter, my wiki can easily restore any page that is accidentally messed up or the text erased, because every editted version of each page is saved 😀

I thought it couldn’t hurt to let you smart people here know about the site and feel free to pass the word on if you know any other artists that would like to help write tutorials. I’m not looking for anything fancy, just written word explanations about the stuff you personally are familiar with. Could be anything – how to use a digital camera to photograph art, how to use a scanner, what’s the best way to get prints made, and so forth 🙂

Thanks for listening to my ramble ^_^
