All of my submissions have been removed
I think I'll stay around just so I can favorite other peoples art. =)
Closing my account
I'd like to limit the amount of sites I upload to, as it eats up time and drives me up the walls, and so Weasyl is getting the axe. Plus, this seems to be more of a furry site. I don't really fit in here as an abstract artist.
Facebook Artist page!
I went ahead and made myself an Artist page on FB since I'm already using it so much. https://www.facebook.com/GreyScaleAndi/ Thought I'd share!! I'll be uploading work to it, both new and old, over the coming days!
Dear illustrators and other digital artists!
I’ve a question. Do any of you use any of the Surface Pro tablets to draw on? If so, how is it? I’m asking because I’d like to expand my creative tools and try new styles and things and am considering moving away from having to use a desktop to render. I’d rather make tiny fractals in Apo, map on t…
Hiatus
I will be focusing on only my writing for all of September. So no new space Fractals till October. But even then, I make no promises. I may extend my hiatus, depending on how well it goes. In the meantime I’ll reblog others art onto my Tumblr, so you’ll always have something nice to see. =)
Back from Vegas!
I need a vacation from my vacation. =)
Going to Las Vegas, wont be back till August 13th.
I'll still have internet access on my netbook and phone, but I wont be able to create new fractals nor upload any that I have already finished. However, I have a queue going on at my Tumblr, so if you want to see new work before I get back, please go there. AndiGreyScale.me I'll upload my art here…
Interested in a $10 fractal?
Looking at commission interest again. Thinking of opening up 5 slots tomorrow. I figured I could have the option of +$10 for recording the creation of the custom fracal and letting the commissioner decide on whether or not I should upload it as an unlisted video on YouTube or let them download it f…
$10 commissions?
I’m going to be needing running shoes soon. Sadly decent ones cost $80+ and I'm poor. >_> So I’m thinking of maybe taking on 5, $10 commissions. I’ll be doing Fractals with custom gradients and styles (NO 3D!). After the first 5 are done I’ll do 5 more. =) Would anyone be interested? I think I got…
New domain name for my website/blog!
It’s been changed from AndiGreyScale.com to AndiGreyScale.me I did this for 2 reasons. 1: The .com domain was about to expire and I didn’t feel like spending $13 to renew it. 2: .com is boring and doesn’t really reflect what my blog/website is about, while .me does. Plus the .me domain name cost me…
If I were to start doing livestreams..
Whats your preferred streaming service and what days work best for you? (It must work on Linux otherwise I can’t use it).
If you wanna watch the creation of a Fractal..
Click here! Done by my idol, ChaosFissure!! <3
Back to working in the library
So this means uploads to DA will be slower, but I will eventually get it done. I've just been busy the past few days. I'll also start renders before bed or in the morning so it can render while I'm in the library, writing. =)
Altered the two original Nexus pieces.
I duplicated the raw fractals in GIMP so the colors and details pop more, just like what I did for the other four. So if you want, go ahead and take a look here and here. =)
Plans for the rest of February and March!
I'll be turning 26 on the 24th. =D I fully intend to finish uploading my work to my P2U account over at DA. I'll also be deleting my Flickr account and moving my portfolio to my Tumblr, making a custom page for it, and showcase only 12 instead of my usual 50. Starting next month I'll be going back…
Got my P2U account up!
http://p2ugreyscale.deviantart.com/ Now I just need to start uploading things to it. =) Also changed my avatar and header!!
Trades: CLOSED
I'll accept the first 3, so first come first serve. Just reply to this journal if you're interested! I'll start on them Monday (I got things to do today, busy busy!) I'll contact those I'm trading with in private messages so we can get everything worked out. =) I'll check back here later today, so…
Opening trades tomorrow morning.
I’ll accept 2, first come first serve. =)
I wonder if I should sell my fractals the same way people sell adoptables over at DA
The owner would have all rights to the fractal, and I'd send them the raw fractal (Chaotica renders them out as .png images) and they can do as they want with it. I don't think Patreon is the right path for me. At least for now anyways. /thinkingoutloud Edit: I can do some in different sizes. Like…
Looking to commission someone for a Watermark!
I've honestly no idea who to go to or where (DA?) But if you're an artist that can make a lovely watermark that I can slap onto my Fractals, feel free to let me know here or in a message and we'll work something out. =) Tired of looking at my boring, ugly "© AndiGreyScale 2014-15" with basic font.…
After my next two renders are done, I'll be opening trades.
Seeing as I can make custom gradients and do colors that ya’ll would like. =) So for those of you interested in eventually doing a trade with me, I'll most likely request a Jackalope (my favorite mythical critter) in one of my favorite color palettes. =D Seeing as I don't got a persona/fursona/muse…
System is fully upgraded.
I'm now using 14.04 Ubuntu. =) I wont open my Patreon till the 1st of Feb, so any new patrons will have an entire month of goodies and this also gives me more time to get everything ready. ^_&
Sorry for the lack of Fractals.
Just waiting on that external DVD/CD drive to arrive. Tomorrow. =P Oh and the wonderful creator of Chaotica was awesome enough to reset my Studio lisence so when I upgrade my OS tomorrow I wont have to buy it again and I’ll get the latest version. =)
Checked my funds. I got enough to buy the Studio version for Chaotica
So tomorrow I’m going to be opening up my PC tower, clean it out, then upgrade my OS from 12.04 to 14.04 Then clean out my room and bathroom. Got some shit I don’t want or need anymore. Busy day, but I hope I’ll still have time to make my Patreon video. I think I’ll upload to Vimeo as well. =)
Think I got the amount of goals and what each "unlocks" all figured out for Patreon.
Now I need to figure out what to offer patreons depending how much they pay once a month. It looks like $1-5 is considered more like just a tip and access to sneak peaks, the activity feed and thats it, so I may go with that. While starting at $10 patreons get access to more things. In my case at $…
So I've been thinking about goals for Patreon and what to offer.
I figured the first goal would be $100 so I can finally upgrade my OS and buy Chaotica Studio once again (1.5.3 version). Offer the fractals meant for only Patreons once a week (I’ll have some for non-patreons too of course). The second goal.. maybe $500? I’d love to do a monthly give-away thing wh…
I looked around Patreon and there doesn't seem to be any that do art like mine.
There’s a 3D abstract/fractal artist and that’s really the only one that comes close. However, I read their latest blog/update for Patreon and apparently visibility is still an issue. So that’s worrisome. But! I am still seriously considering it. I could have mine set up so people pay just once a m…
*Starts to seriously consider Patreon*
I don’t know how a Fractal and Abstract artist would fare on there though…. I also have a very small fanbase, unlike a lot of other artists here on Tumblr. I’ll have to do a lot of research first. I could possibly make 1 fractal a week that’s “free” (as in, can be used as wallpapers, avatars, whate…
No more new art until Weasyl gets the uploading bug fixed.
Like some other people I can't upload any new work, at all. I get sent to an error page. In the mean time my art is being uploaded to my website and Flickr. I've got another piece I'll be uploading within the next 24 hours (most likely later tonight though).
Wow I'm sorry for not posting any updates here!
I've just had a lot going on the past few weeks. But I'm back to making more art!
No more Fractals till August!
I thought I posted this here already but looks like I didn't. I got to much work to do as I near the end of my semester, and it's eating up A LOT of my time and energy. So I wont be Fractaling till at least August. Just don't want anyone thinking I died or stopped completely. =P
Website update!
Gave my website/blog a makeover! AndiGreyScale.com Rather proud of how it came out. =D
Oh boy I really need to add a Journal update!
Ha, it's been awhile. I'm sorry! New semester, but also my last. Five classes, they are draining me of all motivation and energy but I shall keep on trying. Working up giving my blog/website a bit of a make over. Hoping to get a more powerful computer in the near future for larger, better Fractals.…
Sorry, no new work till the end of the semester.
I got finals coming up and drawings to finish for my college drawing class, which are eating up almost all my time. x.x
Midterms are done.
Now I get a week off from school. Woo! More time for art!
May be looking into commissioning someone to make me a decent watermark.
Tired of the ugly boring text sig on my pieces, but I know if I try to draw it I'll fuck it up. Mmmmmmmm.
Trades open! First come first serve!
There are only 2 trade slots. Please reply to this journal if you're interested. I've never traded before so I don't want to take on to much. I'd like to do all communications here, but if you prefer Tumblr that's okay with me as well! I'd like to work out the details on the trades through messages…
Considering doing trades.
After I get my new graphics card that is. scratches chin
Going to wait on making videos and..
I'll start sharing the parameters to my Fractals too. So ya'll can give it a whirl, once I start making the videos. I would just rather wait till I get the new graphics card first. Mine is very weak for the kind of work I do and I'm worried I'd break something if I tried recording while also fracta…
Electronic skins, phone cases, prints and canvas are available!
13 of my pieces have been licensed with Gela Skins and they are officially available as of today! You can see the current 7 available here, here, here and here.
Will be uploading most of my work here instead of just favorites.
I decided to make Weasly my secondary gallery (Flickr is still my main) so I'll be getting around to uploading the majority of my work in the next few days. So if ya see lots of art from me, that's why. They'll all be posted in my 2013 folder, because that's when I started Fractals.
Got my headset and a reminder!
Now I gotta plan on what my first tutorial will go over. Scratches chin I'll most likely start with Apophysis 7x15, since it's completely free. Chaotica has a free version but the resolution is very limited. But I'll get to that one eventually too. I hope to make my first video sometime this weeken…
What would you like to see in the first video?
I'd love to know ya'lls thoughts on what I should go over in my first video. :3
Fractal Software links and info!
Here's a link that has all the current Fractal generators available; those that are free and those that cost $. So if you're curious, feel free to give any of these a try!
Videos will have to wait.
Till I feel way more comfortable with Chaotica.
Alright well it looks like I'll just be making videos.
Sorry, no livestream. Wasn't able to find one that works on Ubuntu and I didn't get much help on the official forums, so I'll be using SimpleScreenRecorder to record my work and upload it onto Youtube.
Mmmm...
Couldn't get Livestream or Join.me to work on Ubuntu 12.04 so I went to the offical forum for help. I'll let ya'll know how it goes. In case there's no decent way for me to stream my desktop live I'll just record it and upload videos instead. I got SimpleScreenRecorder for that.
Considering doing a livestream.
I'll just need to find which live streaming service works on Ubuntu, first! Once I got that figured out I'll let ya'll know when I plan on doing it. If there's a specific time you'd prefer, please let me know and I'll see about doing it when most of you are able to view it.
Getting used to the place.
I wont be uploading all of my pieces from the past year; that's way to many. But so far I'm liking Weasyl
