Originally posted by Xkeeper Well, do some web work. And I mean, something besides this place. Build a portfolio. Write a blog about the things you know. And get on Twitter and talk yourself up a little. I guess that's how I did it, more or less. I did some web jobs for little to no pay to start with, for other people, or built websites myself, built a portfolio, and tweeted a lot about web development stuff. Eventually I was picked up by a web development company. I still have massive amounts of stuff to learn, but I'm also in an environment where I can pick up all kinds of exciting new things.You've got the talent. You've got the skills. Your work is solid. I pick on the AcmlmBoard, but I also keep in mind you're dealing with an often-demanding (and sometimes vindictive) user base here, which makes things a LOT harder. I'd like to see you work on something where you can spread your wings. ![]() --------------------

Hah, I wish I had advice on the motivation front for you though.
Problem is, with Depression that's one of my constant bugbears. That and confidence. I still go into work terrified every other day; afraid I will fuck things up. I know I have gaps in my knowledge (big ones) and skills that are underdeveloped, which helps break my emotional equilibrium. All I can suggest there is keep working on it. As for direction, well, work on any gaps in your knowledge? I'd recommend starting a WordPress blog (I say this because it is a platform that people often ask for plugin or theme development with, and a good platform to know) or an ExpressionEngine site/blog (ditto), and write about the kinds of things you're learning—like once you've figured something out, write a "how to" for it. Both of those platforms are used a lot out there, and writing about it is a good way to a) learn more and cement your learnings and b) look like you know shit which impresses people. ![]() --------------------

And re-draw, trying to refine it…
The character is called Tickets and she's the mascot of the Adelaide Roller Derby. She is drawn here wearing Salty Dolls attire. Perhaps if this turns out any good, I'll do a Mile Die Club and a Road Train Rollers one as well. ![]() --------------------

I'm not entirely convinced that this is a good test of the quality of a monitor.
Anyway, on an sRGB IEC61966-2.1 colour profile with a standard gamma of 2.2 (instead of Mac gamma of 1.8) I can see #040404 clearly, and #010101 if I view the monitor at an odd angle. This is on a MacBook Pro with a matte screen. I'd get up and go play with my Cinema Display but all I'm expecting to see there is that it won't do funny things at an odd angle. If I turn brightness down, I'm lucky to see #080808 I can't be bothered calibrating to 1.8 gamma. --------------------

Type with your feet!
Type with your cat! Type with your boobs/dick! Type with a spatula! Type by holding a spatula and your cat with your feet while waving your dick or boobs around! Can't you see, guys, the possibilities for this are endless. I'm really looking forward to the accuracy levels when type with your right butt cheek gets going. --------------------

Just for Supakitsune, the extra-special edition type with your furious fists of anger.
Bonus points if any keys come off the keyboard. --------------------

You're just upset because your ideas weren't anywhere near as awesome or based on random stuff in the lounge room as mine.
Of course, I'm admittedly less annoyed by the fad because I ignored the hell out of it until the very end, where we were suggesting things like fish. I wonder where that fish did go. A fish, a fish, a fishy OHHHHHHHH. --------------------

I think this still tells you more about the configurations of monitors than their quality.
A huge amount of what affects this is software.Also reminds me how much of a nightmare it is trying to come up with consistent colour for the web (but then, that's why I'm in the sRGB colour space and 2.2 gamma anyway). ![]() --------------------

Yep. Definitely should stop.
They're positioned correctly… the problem is that her head is too wide. --------------------

I don't know why I bother with a lot of things.
Been having all kinds of problems with my emotions since they took me off Efexor. Now feel like I can't do anything right. I suppose it's because all the brain-chemicals have bottomed out, but I'm still feeling pretty worthless. --------------------

I don't think I'm going to bother trying to redraw this again.
I tried to make the head less fat, and put the eyes closer together and then she looked too "nice". And Derby girls are not supposed to look nice. So then I pretty much re-drew most of it again. And I think I give up. ![]() I've lost my mojo. Did I ever have a mojo? The word mojo is funny. --------------------

I think I will NOT redraw that picture again. I think I've also discovered why I'm not a professional illustrator.
There's only so much re-drawing the same picture over and over again that I can do. And I know I don't do it fast enough to go with a budget timeline or stuff like that. --------------------
