Yup, supposedly canvas size and layers are the biggest eaters of space. But, I still can't keep my file size down. I go over almost every time. Oh and nice image, by the way. The reflection o nthe glass came out really nicel.

Actually, I would say that the biggest culprit of space hogging is gradient shading (i.e. fading from one color to another). If you only use a non-antialiased (pixelated) brush on full opacity the entire time, it's unlikely you'll ever go over the limit. Water-color style brush strokes take up much more space, because they create lots of in-between colors.

VERY interesting, Zack. Thanks... I've been wonderin' the same thing. I'm always afraid to safety save if I have to leave... for fear that I'm over. So I'm one known to leave the applet open for the entire time.

Taking a break from my first paint, decided to try one of the other paint engines. Dabbling about with it, came up with something whimsical as I saw how the colors were coming together.

Wow... I like this a lot! Welcome! I also found it weird tho how your name is Jack Sprat and when I was in third grade drawing stick figures with my friends one of my stick figures I called Jack Sprat ^_^;; Anywho can't wait to see more of your art!

JackSprat (edited Jul 12, 2004)

LOL Emma! No, she's not whistling....see...when I draw, I probably look really funny, because I know that I make all the expressions that I'm trying to capture.....she's going..."mOOOOOOOooooo"....and yes, I did that face.

Zack (Jul 12, 2004)

Hahaha! I do the same thing, Jack. That cow's awesome.

Anna (Jul 13, 2004)

It matches the expression on Zack's monkey icon. hehe

charmyc (Jul 11, 2004)

Done! I could have done a better background but i'm so lazy... I'm not very good with fan art that's why shikamaru look weard... anyway Shikamaru is my fav Naruto characters cause he is so like me( lazy... unfortunatly i don't have his IQ...)

This is really nice. I like the way you shade. Good job

Urei-sama (Jul 12, 2004)

i think its frikken awsome. the colors are blended really well. nice lineart as well!

Birute (Jul 12, 2004)

This one is pretty. You should concentrate on proportions next time(unless its suposed to be like that). And teh grammar: weard - weird, characters - character(or 'one of my favorite characters'), unfortunatly - unefortunately. Im not from an english speaking country so my grammar corrections might not be good :D

Knockoff (Jul 14, 2004)

This is really cool. I like the big canvas, cool background.
The shading and detail is really nice.

This is so purdy, Lori :) I love the way it looks so delicate.

Knockoff (Jul 14, 2004)

Your really good with flowers, this one is nice, looks like this flower is on stage with a stagelight next to it. :)

Aubrey (Jul 14, 2004)

Very purdy.. looks like a flower inside a barn door that opens on the top and bottom or something.. and the sun's just hitting the top of it.

Tablets for Sale...

cherikit-chan (edited Jul 11, 2004)

Hope this doesn't sound too stupid but can you only buy tablets online? Or are there places or stores you can actually buy them from. I've been looking around but haven't really found any...

I missed this one till now....it almost has a Frank Lloyd Wright architectural style to it, and you did a wonderful job on the reflection... on everything, for that matter.
