New Designs

Hey Everyone,

I'm excited to say that there are several new designs posted online. I hope you will go check them out! :)

The first is of my Fire Chibi design I've talked about previously. Finally got her fully colored and everything. I think she turned out pretty well.

The second design is one I did quite a while ago called Rain. I finally went back and gave her a more finished and completed look. I think that she has a really beautiful feel to her now. Rain was always intended to be an image based off the one word, rain. I always loved her alone with just the black and white and hues of blue, but with the background I think she has a more painterly and emotional feel than she did before.

The last two designs are just some cute characters I came up with. The first being the swimming little mermaid. Just a cute idea of a mermaid coming up to greet someone. The second is of a cute little centaur.

All of these designs can be purchased at my zazzle store. If there are any products you'd like to see them on in particular let me know, for now they're just on a few unique pieces. And I must say look pretty cool.

YouTube - Ezvid Review II

Hello again everybody,

So if you remember in a previous post I said I was going to start uploading some speed paints and possibly some simple tutorials to you tube. Well, you may have noticed how videos have not made their way up.

I just wanted to take some time to add some of my personal review comments. I spoke before about how I enjoyed Ezvid and how it really was easy to upload your videos straight to you tube. However, I am not as pleased with it as I once was for several reasons.

The first reason is the 45 minute time limit. Which I didn't think was going to be a big deal at first. Until I spent over 45 minutes on a video and the entire screen capture was trashed. In addition, since I plan on doing a lot of speed paints, the program will only speed up videos 600%, which in my opinion is still too slow. There are plenty of videos on you tube 10 minutes and up for speed painting. And after the hours I've spent looking at them myself, very few of those are going to get watched in completion. A speed paint that times at around 5 minutes is perfect to hold the full attention of the audience. Unfortunately, with this program that cannot be accomplished.

Lastly, aside from the horribly music options that you are forced to select (no you cannot just pick none, the closest they have is silent computer), there is no way to export the video you have created. This program will only upload to you tube directly.

I could see this being a good tool for live tutorials possibly, but it is just not what I'm looking for in a speed paint screen capturing program.
