Any of you use Mozilla Firefox? Raise your hands. Any of you?

Oof. Quite a lot.

You know how in Firefox, if you go to the address bar and type in a letter, it immediately gives you a list of websites you visit? And they're organized by frequency of your visits? Keep your hands raised.

Well, when I go to the Wizards of the Coast website (they make Magic: The Gathering), I type "W". I check the Wizards' site pretty much every day.

Now (you can put your arms down, geez) you may notice that many websites don't begin with "W". You will also note that deviantArt isn't under "D" but rather, the user name of the artist.

As such, I sometimes will hit "W" and tap the down arrow one too many times, and hit the second "W" website in my list; :iconwblstudios:

Now, it used to be that you could delete things from your address bar, but not anymore. So every now and again I pop onto his journal. And when I do, sometimes I read his rather depressing journal. It's depressing because he posts how everyone is out to get him, and how someone else banned him from something, and how he wants to go off the grid (which is weird because whilst off the grid he's still updating his journal) and so on. He is a terribly, pitiable man. I look at his journal and think of Patton Oswalt, "You're going to miss everything cool and die angry."

Below is his journal in case he decides to delete it or rewrite it as he always does. The Leona picture he's mentioning is a picture I drew ages ago. He asked if I had it, I said I thought it was on some harddrive somewhere, forgot to look, apologised, looked and couldn't find it. That was the story. I don't recall him ever asking for a "larger-than-ever" picture of Leona, but it's certainly possible he did. Then, the drama came, much, much later and was unrelated.

This poor guy is trolling people who accidentally hit his journal because of a user-friendly feature. I'll try to make sure it doesn't happen again, but frankly, I don't care one way or the other.

WBL, it's only yourself you're hurting.

:iconwblstudios: "Hi Pacguy! Hi Fett! I'm in Despair!"

Going off the grid is fun.  I'm enjoying my vacation.

Looks like yet another person who tried to flame me out in the whole Chachi-posts-kiddie-porn-but-I'm-the-bad-guy thing keeps checking on my page, thanks to the watcher box.  Hey Fett!  Did you ever find that missing Leona pic?  Did you ever draw that larger-than-ever Leona pic I requested?

Now that my journal is working...

Well, it looks like after PacGuy765 promised to do a commission and then cancelled it, after he blocked me, then two almost identical profiles that CLAIM to be his sister and mother come and spam my page. Within two minutes of each other, at 7:59 and 8:01. Then Pacguy765 shows up at 8:15. The watchers block is watching you. And you've been reported for harassment.

And now he's so desperate to spam and flame me, that he's put in his own signature that I'm a troll.

Wow.

Thanks for the link to my page in your signature, idiot. That's free advertising.

Your harassment has been reported.

Hello! I'm going to several DA pages asking these "few" questions which I hope you don't find too many to answer :ashamed:

How do you do the below steps, Traditionally or digitally ?

1. Sketching
2. Pencilling (if you do this step)
3. Inking

If any of the steps is digital then what software do you use ? And which tablet do you use if any ?

Also, how do you put your figures into perspective environments ? do you..

1. wrap them in a reference box or similar ?
2. go beyond point 1 and try to apply more boxes to each outstanding bodypart etc ?
3. skip any reference box(es) and simply "feel" the perspetive for your figures ?

Regards

I draw traditionally and colour in photoshop. I rarely do perspective at all because I'm super-lazy, inept at it, and just do vacant pin-ups. I need to learn perspective. *sigh*

Thanks for answering.

While I understand much of general perspective by simply analyzing the camera/eyes and it's view window/plane/frame (whatever you like to call it) from "outside" (third person), showing me why perspective rules work etc, I avoid doing the same thing for figures since they are organic and have may have many parts going in any direction rendering my patience obliterated (hehe), so I have had no choice to either use a single reference box or avoid perspective methodically, meaning just imagine/guess where things should go.

Still though, I ordered this book (which I haven't received yet): [link] It's quite cheap, so I thought wth perhaps it deals with figure perspective more efficiently than what I know and at the same time more accurate than simple guesswork.

Thanks again!
