@Digital thanks for your hard work. :) I'm grateful to be part of this community and can't wait to see what is in store for it.

I second what @Aminirus says - I started off with an Wacom Bamboo tablet (the really old one, like seven years ago old) and then moved to a Intuos Pro Medium. If I didn't break it during a dorm move I'd stick with it; sure you still need to practice hand-eye coordination drawing but it's...

Updated my commission thread with flat rates. :)

Hey @WinterBlues! I'm interested in learning more about your style preferences - I've worked on quite a few website designs within and outside the pet site industry. I enjoy making sleek & modern layouts in any case so I would love to see whether my work interests you. :)   Please shoot...

I second @Aminirus on Facebook groups. I tested out making a Facebook page for my art, and ran a few ad campaigns to see how well it retained active subscribers/followers.  Spoilers: It didn't. I ran a few different ads with different demographics and different price points but what was common...

I'm not sure how many of you guys are Canadians or follow provincial election news but we just had our general election yesterday in British Columbia.  :) I don't want to share my political views, but this is certainly super fascinating for myself (and maybe others on this forum). There's...

SO JEALOUS I love Three Days Grace XD I don't think they ever come to Vancouver though :c  My friends went to see John Mayer the other day, but I didn't go because the tickets were expensive. I already paid for Apocalyptica tickets for September (it was a splurge buy, I got it for my sister...

/stalks this thread for information :D   I'm currently with Dreamhost on a VPS. I upgraded from shared hosting because one of my clients's websites is taking off. I'm pretty satisfied with their customer service (they've been extremely helpful) but I am not a big fan of how the prices are in...

YESSS @Digital I saw the trailer when it just came out.  I got soooo hyped for it (I still am haha).  I can't wait for the movie to come out. I think it's the one I'm most excited about this year - I walked into the first movie with low expectations but was blown away how good it was. I was...

My boyfriend and I went to see USS earlier this year, and we have tickets booked to see Coldplay in September :)  I'm super excited for Coldplay - I used to play guitar and sing their songs. I kind of have most if not all their lyrics memorized by heart. ><  Originally I was going to tag...

Everyone has really great points here.  I don't consider myself a professional writer, but I find committing myself to a daily or weekly goal (word count, chapter, etc) really does help me write.  Committing deadlines to my agenda makes me want to "tick" them off so I have to actually finish...

Yessss I got that vibe from your descriptions! It reminds me of the Fantastic Beasts book. Or the "dragonology" books. :) Thank you! I still have yet to read your book - it's on my to read list! I'll get around to it haha. :)  And yes, I look forward to having a book. I'm a pretty awful...

Chiming in to say I like the way you described the animals @Digital- especially these sentences:  As for myself, I'm working on a book, and here's the first few paragraphs of it. I'm doing my third re-write of the manuscript and it's super slow going :c 

I use two planners - one for keeping track of events and things to do in a weekly format with enough space to expand on my task details, and another that has a monthly section at the top of each page where I can keep myself accountable to monthly goals and tasks.  And sticky notes! Always have...

I think @bird touched upon some key issues, namely that audiences have matured. This leads to the evolution of game economies and communities to fit the interactivity and social requirement that most "matured" audiences consider as the new status quo. I've seen a shift in game economies where...

Thanks @singsong! :-) 

Wow, great news! Congratulations @SingSong and @Matthew.  Looking forward to discussions and content for the forums :)

I use Adobe Photoshop for my paintings. I tried out several other programs, but I never really got into using them. I also use Photoshop because I sometimes work on web and graphic design, so it's just easier for me to use a program for most/all my work. Beats having to relearn programs haha. 

  Cadence's Commissions Characters + Environments  My commissions are closed for the meantime, sorry! I have just gotten a big graphic design contract with a local firm, so I will be working with them as an independent contractor from now on. :) Thanks for your interest and support! 

used to be a night owl, but I changed my schedule around and now I'm most productive in the morning when everyone at home is still asleep. I'll get up at 5 or 6 am and have a good 3-hours or so before everyone wakes up to draw or write :)
