I was checking around to see how many times my '31 Ford hot rod mod for GTA IV had been downloaded, and discovered that it has been downloaded over 12,000 times between 3 english-language sites--so that's not counting the German or Russian sites.
If every downloader compensated me a buck, I'd have $12,000. If I had even half that much, you can bet I'd make more models! As it is, I can't really justify making any more from-scratch mods, because I should be using that time for paying work or, you know, having a life.

Taking a break
Since I haven't been uploading much in the way of new art and have not been using DA much, I decided to turn the page on my years as a budding artist, and put all my old works into storage. Thanks for the faves and llamas, folks. It's been fun. I may return.
Lazy Nezumi Pro
For years I've struggled with trying to get decent lines in Photoshop. I had discovered that Paint Tool Sai had line stabilization and generally better brush behavior than PS, but it was a pain switching between the two. The way Photoshop's brush tool leaves little stubby ends (the "shoelace effect") was driving me nuts. The lack of stabilization meant a lot of re-drawing lines and wasted time.
I had searched previously for a tool or plugin that would give me line stabilization in PS, but didn't find anything. Finally today I discovered "Lazy Nezumi Pro" and am ecstatic with the ability it gives me to do clean lines with proper tails in Ph
Fury Road
Was pretty much what I expected from the trailers. Loved it, even if it wasn't quite what I was expecting (not sure what I was expecting).
In a world of car franchises that have lost touch with their automotive roots (cough, Fast and Furious), the characters of Mad Max still worship the mighty V8. And superchargers. Nitro. Necker knobs. Flame-spewing exhaust. Temples erected to the glory of guzzoline.
The film is gleefully insane without lurching too far into cheesiness....I was worried it might bring 80s camp along with some of the 80s visuals, but thankfully, no. Well, maybe a little bit. But in a good way.
It's a wild ride!
On baking motherboards...
So recently I decided to try resurrecting my faulty Dell XPS 1210 laptop. It worked well for a few years, but got very hot. Eventually it developed an issue where the screen would change colors, almost like it was reverting to 256 color mode or something, kind of a watercolor effect. Then it would switch back to normal, and repeat every 10 minutes or so. Needless to say, it rendered the machine useless for photoshop work, and in 2010 I replaced it. It had been sitting on my shelf ever since.
I had done some research on baking motherboards in the oven in order to re-flow the solder connections, but decided it was rather a lot of work for a
