Figured I'd use my journal for something other than announcing my UStreams.

So I'm still without a job. I've applied to everything I could think of, even McDonalds. No dice. I've just given up watching the news now, as all it does is anger me. "The economy is getting stronger!" Yeah, well where's the jobs?

On a lighter note, I'm looking for some WoW buddies. I'm on the Winterhoof server, under the Horde name Valshira, and...well, I like the guild I'm in, but I doubt they're going to help me build up other characters from level 1 to 80. So, if any of you wanna roll with da Croc, pop on there and let me know. I can go Alliance too.

Finally, art. I've been drawing a bit more (this includes commissions) so at least I've been a tad bit productive. Now I'm not about to ask for more, cause I'm still pretty stacked up as it is. But, if any of you wish to donate a little money to me, rest assured, you won't go unrewarded for it. Just use Paypal (address is tyamet2000(at)yahoo.com) and donate as much or as little as you feel like doing.

So I've been thinking about this for awhile, so i figured I'd get some thoughts from everyone else. The subject is digital art vs traditional art.

Now, we all know about traditional art. Done using pencil, pen, marker, and paper, it feels more 'natural'. It's the way artists have drawn since time began, so it's how everyone starts. I fondly remember filling up notebook after notebook at school, with a mixture of notes and doodles. In fact, I still have some of those laying around. Also, with traditional, it's more challenging. If you don't have a steady hand, it makes drawing things harder.

As for digital, it's the 'new age' thing. Everything is done on a computer, from sketches to colors. Programs such as Photoshop, Corel Painter, OpenCanvas, or Paint Shop Pro replace pencils and paper. It's faster, and if mistakes are made, it's easy to fix with an Undo button. However, most artists also view this method as 'cheap', claiming that it loses the personal feeling most artists feel towards their work.

My feelings are...a little strange. I can see the appeal towards digital, but I can also understand how traditional art is better.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you prefer digital or traditional, and why?

Today at 3:00 PM EST, the Croc Block will be live. Tune in, toss questions at us, and enjoy an hour or so of random lemon tossing and gassy kitties.
