I finally got the application that lets you play back - seems like I was using another application.

 

Here one I drew:

foolakadugie, how did you conver them to YouTube videos?

Wow, I must have totally missed that last part of your post. To put them on youtube, I did a screen-capture with a program called AutoScreenRecorder. Then I just cropped them and put them to sound in aftereffects.

 

 

Wow, nice artwork all... Do any of you use those drawing tablets? or just a mouse? I have a Wacom Intuos 3, and makes doing work in Photoshop so much easier most of the time.

At home I do not have a tablet. I just used a regular optical mouse for these. At work I have the luxury of a nice big waccom tablet and it definitely helps. I might have to buy one for my home projects some day.

Very nice, Vyoma! I love the colors.

Wow, those are amazing.

 

Great work.

Thanks

 

Here is another that I did recently. I like it.

 

It would be awesome if it could calculate the rest of the colors for a tetrad or triad color harmony. A Tetrad is 4 colors 90 degrees apart on the color wheel and a triad is 3 colors that are 120 degrees apart.

If you are really talking about resolution, than 72 dpi is standard for web graphics.If you are talking about dimensions, than there is some debate on the issue. I normally think about my target audience.Some sites I make are specifically targeted to graphics designer. Most of that demographic have decent screens that andusually have them set to higher screen resolutions. In that case I use 1024x768. Even many normal users Have theirscreens set to 1024x768. Now, for example, imagine you were designing a website targeted toward older people. Many older people keep their screens set to 800x600 for easy reading. In that case, I would use 800x600.

They let you play back!? When did they add that? I did one yesterday - how can I check the playback functionality?And another one - do they let us embed it elsewhere like Sketchcast lets us? If that be the case, then I am totally shifting to Grafitti.

If you click on one of the graffiti images on someones profile it brings you to a page where you can see it larger. On that page there shouldl be a button (I think it is green} titled "Replay".
Click it and it will take you to the replay. I don't really use IE, but it seems that some of my friends have had problems using the replay on Internet Explorer. The replay function was added
maybe a month ago, so any of the images made prior to that will not have a replay. I haven't tinkered with it too much, but it doesn't look like they want you to embed it on other sites.

Ah. I know that face book application too. I added it and am fiddling around with it.
But some time back, I stumbled across Sketchcast.com. It is quite rudimentary and I have been hooked. The best part is, it plays back the process of sketching.

I have been making a lot many of these sketchcasts (more like artcasts), and atleast it keeps me in practice during heavy work days at my job.

Here are some (plugs) sketchcasts I made:

Yeah the graffiti aplication lets you play them back now too. FUN!
Nice drawings.

Lately I have enjoyed painting with the Flash-based Graffiti application on Facebook. Sometimes I think it is fun to see what I can do with the restrictions of a simple little paint program. The only real special feature that the application has is the ability to adjust the opacity of your paint. Anyway, below are some of the images I have produced with it. If anyone else has used it, I would love to see what you have made.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also the application has a somewhat new feature that allows people to play back the drawing line-by-line.

I have uploaded a few of these to youtube. Originally I had done this because of friend of mine couldn't view

it in her browser and the one I had made told a story through all of the layers of the drawing. Here are the

replays on youtube:

I live in California/United States and stayed up all night to watch this occurrence. I made up a special playlist for my mp3 player,

brewed some coffee and took a walk to a nice dark area over by the airport. I sat/laid on some grass, listened to music and drank

my coffee while enjoying the eclipse. There was one other group of people out to see it, but they didn't stay out long. I didn't

leave until a little while after totality when the moon began to peek out of the shadows on the other side, then headed home.

I attached my best photo, but my camera battery died very early into the eclipse, so this is all I could get. I charged the battery up,

but it looks like I need a new battery. On the bright side, the picture came out quite clear. Any moon picture before tonight taken with

this camera has turned out to be a blurry blob. Oh there were also plenty of shooting stars. Some were glowing orange as they

burned up. I don't think I have ever seen so many stars in Los Angeles before. Here is my picture, but the blood red color wasn't

very apparent at this stage (then my camera died). What a beautiful and relaxing night it was!

 

I don't think I would ever support killing another person unless your own life depended on it. I just don't see any good reason t o do so. As some people have already said, it is an easy way out. Sure they go through the stress and fear just before hand, but then it is over. Keeping someone in a boring prison cell for the rest of their life is much worse punishment. They know they will be there fr the rest of their life, with no chance of freedom and they have to wait it out. Not many people get the death penalty so I don't suppose that it puts too much more of a burden on our taxes(I could be wrong about that. I don't really know) to keep them alive.

I use Eusing Registry Cleaner to scan and remove obsolete registry entries. It will clear out entries and reference software that is no longer on your computer ans well as corrupted entries, etc.

I wonder how people in other contries can eat bugs?

If that is what you see and are accustomed to while growing up, then why should they have any worries?People eat chickens and cows and all kinds of other living things. Bugs are just another animal and source
of nutrition.

Stitches-removal has never hurt at all for me. It always just tickled a bit. I wouldn't worry about the removal.As for infection, if it is getting really red, you could try carefully using a small amount of antibacterial soap or some isopropyl alcohol (this would probably sting, though). just don't scrub it or anything.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is accurate, but I do not know if it is. I have found whole bugs in packaged food before. I would assume that some bug material would be hard to avoid as bugs lay eggs in and are attracted to certain foods. Just think of it as extra protein The only bug material that I am worried about that of the Cochineal (used in food dye, mainly Red 40) insect, which I am allergic too. It makes me go crazy.

Hype.1. I wouldn't ever pay that much for a phone2. I got my phone free with my service contract and it came with plenty of functions that the iphone does not have.3. I have hacked my phone to add more functions that I wanted on my phone.4. about 700 mb of the internal memory is consumed by the OS alone. The internal memory is only 4 or 8gb.5. I don't want to switch to AT&T service.6. No 3G support, no MMS, no Java, and an inferior browser.

I'll listen to music from any genre, as long as it is good. Normally in a playlist for the day I will have a nice mix of folk-rock, folk-metal, experimental, metal, electronic, synth punk, hip hop, classical, neofolk, neoclassical, rock, indie, jazz, etc.I am normally interested in music that fuses styles from several different genres. I love when bands mix different forms of world folk music with rock/metal/punk. More generally, I likemusic that pushes boundaries or completely breaks out of them. I am on a constant search for music that really doesn't fit into any current gene. I like hearing thing unlike anything I havepreviously heard.

sometimes my computer switches itself off at any moment without warning it just instantly turns off i don't know if its when i run some programs or not cause if i try to save something on windows movie maker it turns itself off and the turn on button won't work until i switch it off from the back and then back on anyone know whats wrong?

This may be caused by your computer overheating. Has your computer been making much noise lately? You may need to replace a fan in your tower.
Try opening up the tower and then starting up the computer to see if the fans are running properly. If a fan is either no working or if there is one making
unusual noises then I would get a new fan. While the tower is open, I would suggest cleaning the inside by blowing all of the dust our with canned air.
Sometimes collected dust can slow down the ventilation in some areas.

Here is a digital painting I did as part of a workshop at another forum.

 

Beautiful work Vyoma! I think this is my favorite of all the work you have posted here.

What programs did you use? I would be interested in hearing about your process.

I actually really like your color choice, just might need a little accent hear and there.

 

Below I posted an image with some suggestions that I think that I would make.

It is was a quick sketch so I hope I didn't make it too bad and I hope you don't mind

 

I added some subtle rendering/shadows on the pedals so that the flower didn't

stand out quite so much. I added a more orange color to the flower stems and

also orange accents on the pollen.

 

I also added another set of leaves to balance out the composition. I just recylced

the original ones because it was quick. I made the color on the new set of leaves

less saturated/more dull so that they didn't take focus too much from the flower.

 

In windows, I mainly use winamp. Occasionally I use itunes just to update firmware on my ipod, but I never use it to play music because it is a bloated resource hog. I also don't like that it has about 3 background processes that run on startup, some of which aren't even needed. Recently I have been checking out some other players. Media Monkey seems like it might be a good program. The stable version is really ugly, but the new beta is looking better. It has ipod support and pulls less resources than itunes. Also, the interface is set up in a similar way.On linux I use Amarok and love it. It is very flexible, configurable, open source, light on resources and just plain great. I would love to see it on Windows, but I fear that even if it was ported to windows it wouldn't be as great.

I always wanted a treehouse when I was a little kid...problem was I lived in So. Cal, and there weren't tall enough or dense enough trees at my disposal to do it.

I actually grew up in southern california and built quite a few of them. Some of them were eventually torn down by the city because they were too dangerous to climb up to.I think we mainly built them in those big Eucalyptus trees and to get up just nailed some 3/4 inch boards to the trunk as a ladder, so you had to climb up about 15 or 20 feet on those.
We built one with a nice zip line to get down.

Soon I will be needing a external hard-drive, mainly for college. I will hopefully have an laptop with Ubuntu on by then, but I also wanna use school/home(this) computers using Vista/Xp. And passwords, but not on the whole drive.
Any product links or brands I should look out for?

Also, is Ubuntu, Java and Openoffice enough for college? I'll probably get wine, and loads of beer

Seagate drives are normally very trusted, so any external enclosure with a Seagate in it should be fine. I personally Use LaCie, which comes with a seagate inside and the casing is very tough metal, to prevent damage when caring it around. They normally come formatted for a Mac, but you can format it for whatever you use. I have mine formatted to FAT32 so I can easily go between multiple operating systems. Windows, Linux and OSX can all read and right to the same partition.

I am not sure if I completely understand what you are saying. Are you saying that you want part of the drive (a partition) to be password protected and the other part unprotected?

The Ubuntu distributions are quite complete for general use, but whether it is enough for you to use in college would depend on what you will be studying. It has all you need to write papers and manage email and access the internet, etc. OpenOffice is a great suite of programs. Some of the artwork for the presentation template are cheesy, but you could always make your own. I never used Linux for school purposes much because I needed to be using industry standard software, which was not available on Linux.

I voted against.

 

First off, don't crucify (sorry for the imagery) me for my beliefs. I am very religious and I believe that every fetus has a spirit and, thus, each fetus is a person. If we have to sacrifice potential people to save the existing ones, this is morally reprehensible to me. I was watching House the other night, and a mother had the choice of sacrificing her unborn fetus (around 20 weeks old or so) to save her life or dying with the fetus (having a VERY slim chance of saving the fetus). The mother chose the latter, even though she had nearly no chance to live.

 

Also, what diseases could stem-cells potentially cure?? If it could cure AIDS, what are we doing? We are permitting premarital sex and sodomy, both of which are morally reprehensible to me. Sure, there are innocent people with AIDS that we could save, but at what risk?? Should we risk the morals that found our society for a few children that have been dealt a nasty hand in life?? What about Darwinism, the strongest surviving?

 

This may sound harsh, but it is meant to be an exaggeration. I believe that we should attempt to find cures to AIDS and cancer, but not through taking the lives of unborn children. If we cure AIDS and cancer, there will just be another big problem that will hit us. Will we turn to murder if we find that will help??

There are many stem cells sitting sitting in jars waiting to be used, so we wouldn't necessarily need abortions to conduct the research.

We might as well use them for something. Also, embryos are not the only source of stem cells. If I were to take stem cells from my own

body and grow more from them in a lab then what harm would that be doing?

 

There are people with AIDS that did not get it from premarital sex/sodomy. Some people are born with it. I think that they deserve a

chance to live a normal life. Why single out AIDS, when there are plenty of other relevant diseases and problems?

 

There are many potential uses for stem cells, since they are able to become many forms of cells. They could be used to grow/repair organs,

since there is always a constant shortage for people on transplant lists. They could be helpful in repairing nerve damage to help people who

are paralyzed. They could help people with leukemia, other forms of cancer and infertility. These are off the top of my head, but I am sure

that there are others.

I suppose that I might download it for furture jobs, because in the past I have made websites that dislayed quite a bit differently in safari and needed to be changed.It is a little annoying to recode something for a little 2 percent of web surfers.
