day 0007 -- meh

There was no post yesterday because I spent half the day troubleshooting my desktop's hard disk issue. (note to self: read the damn motherboard manual) I had to format and reinstall, but at least she is running like a race horse hopped up on some good speed.

After reinstalling, I realized how badly I need a font management program. I am trying out Suitcase and FontAgent Pro right now. I really like FontAgent Pro and will probably purchase it (only $99!!!) when my trial expires. Suitcase is less intuitive and hides your fonts deep in C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Extensis\Suitcase\Suitcase Font Database.suitcasevault\primary\PostScript which I really hate. Also, there is no option to change this directory. FontAgent places them in C:\FAP which pleases my data organization obessive compulsiveness. I forgot if FontAgent lets you change this directory, but its not so huge an issue. Anyways...



This is nowhere near complete, but I wanted to get something up today. It took a long time to render a version of the skull I was happy with, and now I need to add more depth and texture. The Zappers need a bit more work too. Looking at it now, I think the skull/gun proportions are way off.

If anyone has suggestions that could help the skull look more cartoony, I'd be much obliged.
