This is hmm, Hannya? Well, I just wanted to do a test run with my tablet and create a 2d girl but look what it turned out…

Hannya - Wacom Bamboo Test
I wanted to color it but it turns out that my skills on handling brushes and blends is 0.

My First Tablet


Finally, I was able to get my hand on this baby. My first tablet, it’s Wacom Bamboo: Pen and Touch. Bought it online at Ynzal and just arrived yesterday and was really excited.

This is one of the second generation in the Bamboo family from Wacom. It’s a small tablet with both pen and multi-touch input. It’s black, sexy and has a sleek design.

Though it’s not a replacement for using mouse. I think this will help me, since my right arm is aching sometimes. Especially when doing vector stuff.

Size: Small

  • Approximately 6 x 3.5 inches active area for pen.
  • Approximately 5 x 3.35 inches active area for touch.
  • Approximately 10 x 7 overall size with pen in the holder.

  • Wacom Driver and Control Panel
  • Windows and Macintosh compatible
  • Corel Painter Essentials 4
  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 (Win) and 6 (Mac)

Firefox 3.6 <rawr!>

Finally Firefox 3.6 is available for download. It was released yesterday and what can I say, it’s great!

The features? One is, it has improved overall speed, more faster than Firefox 3.5. Second, HTML 5 and CSS. Third, a new type of theme called Personas and many more.

Aside from that, I was able to create an illustration. For the first time I’m able to use and finished an artwork in Illustrator. Well, I’ve use Photoshop for the final touch.

I say, it’s really hard since I do my all of my vectors in Photoshop. I’m not comfortable yet with Illustrator but I hope I may be able to. (´ー`)y-~~

Wallpaper Calendar: January 2010

Another year has passed, and it’s a new year, new decade. Well, never mind that. Here’s a wallpaper calendar for the first month of the year! Yeah!

I really wanted to create a set of monster but I’ve only created a trio. What do you think they are? I have no idea either. One of my favorite creature among the three is the blue one with tentacles, and the least favorite is the green one(by the way, it looks like a condom).

The wallpaper is available in 9 different resolution, so take a pick and enjoi! Ladies and gentlemen, Desktop Wallpaper: January 2010.

Other resolutions: 1024×768, 1280×800, 1280×960, 1400×1050, 1440×900, 1600×1200, 1680×1050, 1920×1200, 2560×1600

Win7shell Plugin For Winamp

Win7Shell logoI’ve been using Winamp for about 3 years now. And it has been always my favorite among the other media player. Since then, I always set up my Winamp to “minimized to tray” just to not get in the way in the old windows taskbar. Now came Windows 7 with its new and improved Windows Taskbar. I found its convenience and decided to take advantage of its features. But found out that Winamp doesn’t act as it supposed to be when pinned in the taskbar. So here comes Win7Shell to the rescue, found this plugin on the net while searching for an answer!

So what is Win7Shell? It’s a simple plugin for Winamp, that integrates with the new Windows taskbar of Windows 7. I’d say a must have plugin for Winamp. That is, if your in Windows 7.

Features

win7shell01

  • Shows playback status and progress in the icon background of the taskbar icon.
  • Uses taskbar icon to display a “VU meter”.
  • Shows playback status using icon overlays on the taskbar icon.
  • Customizes the aero peek thumbnail with:
    • Winamp logo
    • Album art
    • Customized information about the current media playing
    • Custom image file
    • Progress bar, showing playback progress
  • Adds customizable player control buttons on the aero peek thumbnail.
  • Adds ‘Recent’, ‘Frequent’ and ‘Tasks’ categories to the jump list.
  • Winamp is now easier to find in 3DFlip.

It’s free and great plugin for Winamp users out there.
