    Everyone on my Tumblr dash, PLEASE watch this. Especially if you are a creative artist:

    Adobe is going to scrap their hard copies (disks) for their software (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Flash), and have you pay a subscription for the latest software called the Adobe Creative Cloud. $50 per month. Could you really afford such an expense in the long run?

    This is really disturbing. Please hear what he has to say, it really is a serious situation for working artists. Pass this along so others may know about the Adobe Creative Cloud and how horrible it is.

    Yep… Just went to see how much Flash costs. You know, to just buy the program? Guess what? After spending a while looking, it appears that you CAN’T anymore. You have to pay an outrageous subscription fee. I hate adobe. Is there a petition going around to stop this nonsense? Because I want to sign it.

    Thanks! I know a lot of artists and people who like art follow me. You guys should go sign that.

    Today I just signed the petition in the voice against the Adobe Creative Cloud. For those who are not familiar with what the new Creative Cloud can do to you as an artist, I really suggest you watch this video.

    For those who have seen, reblogged, faved, here’s the link (as shown in the previous reblog) to sign the petition. Anything can happen, Adobe really needs to know that many artists are not supportive of them controlling not just the software..but the content worked on the Cloud.

  7. Some self talk

    HELLO NEW FOLLOWERS! (also old ones, hi there!). For some reason I keep gaining new followers even though I’m not posting much fanart anymore and it’s great! So welcome!

    I rarely make any personal posts here so I thought I’d write something now…(should I write more? Would that be more interesting for you guys? Or should I just keep posting art? Personally I do like reading what other people are thinking and doing, not sure why it’s hard for me to do the same. )

    So yes. Those who don’t know yet, I’m a 24-year old Finnish girl living up in the north. I was an exchange student in Japan in 2011-2012, almost for one year. I returned back last fall.

    I am currently pretty close to finishing my graphic design master’s degree. My aim is to graduate after exactly one year. Not sure if it will work out though, I just might screw up with my thesis ヽ(‘ー`)ノ.  I still somehow feel like a beginner. I just recently found a spark inside me to seriously try illustrating as a career, and then the school ends, ergh. So now my dream would be to continue studying art for a couple more years, preferably somewhere in Europe (I would go to the UK immediately if I knew how to fund my studying there). I guess some other countries would be an option too, but I’m not sure how many schools offer courses in English…(I do speak some Swedish and German too, but not well enough for academic studies). But yeah, these things have been on my mind a lot lately. I just want to try new things and surround myself with art and learn to live in another country again. After that I can maybe start thinking about a career…or not (*゜Д゜)ゞ

    My exchange in Japan was wonderful, but I still don’t think I would want to live there for a longer time. Always standing out and being treated as a gaijin is not all that fun after a while. I still want to keep studying Japanese though, I’ve come so far anyway. That’s why I’ve been trying to watch some animes again (yes…for…studying…*cough*). What I’ve watched lately: Fate/Stay Night, Fate/Zero (oh god so good), Steins; Gate, Mirai Nikki, Anohana, Princess Tutu, Noir, Mawaru Penguindrum

    One of my important goals is to goddamn start my webcomic too. I have pushed back two major storylines because I thought I wasn’t ready for them yet, so the comic I will draw is perhaps less ambitious than those but should be okay for my first try. It should still take years to finish (Can’t wait!). I just need to try to finish the script, I’m just way too undecisive sometimes. Also I can’t draw comics at all. But it’s okay, I have accepted that fact and I’m trying to move on and actually do something instead of just whining how I can’t do it.

    The story is mostly about human relationships. The main character a psychologist who finds an unconventional way to help his clients (there will be a dash of fantasy and scifi aaand some suspense too). The other main character is his ex-client and these two have a very dysfuntional relationship, and of course the comic will revolve around that a lot. Then there will naturally be a lot of other clients too and psychologizing and secrets and emotions and stuff. This is maybe why I am all head over heels for the new TV-show Hannibal (Psychoanalyzing! Mindgames! Manipulation! Suspense!), though my story won’t include cannibals and brutal muders (´∀`) maybe this blog will turn into an art AND comicking blog sometime in the future too. I need an outlet for venting about my troubles, because there will be many. Anyway, that’s it for now.

    You can ask me anything any time too, I’m always willing to answer.

    And just a reminder where else you can find me: my stupid tumblr, inspiration tumblr, Twitter, DA.

    This was an idea that Leppu came up with, and lots of people seemed eager to contribute to, so, I quickly assembled a bit of guidelines because I’m willing to be responsible for getting this to print. LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN??!

    I’m totally in. Join us!

    Sounds awesome! I’m in!
