Thanks. So do you. Illustrator's the next thing I have to learn. Never did much in the way of logos, but I'm starting to be asked for them, here and there.

chapstyle In reply to jmdesantis [2011-11-18 04:46:10 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! The newer versions of Illustrator ( CS4, 5 and 5.5) all have some really great tools. My favorite is the Blob brush. Just like drawing with a brush nib pen, especially with a Wacom tablet. I do a TON of logo work, it get's pretty challenging sometimes.

Sorry to be a bit of a spoil-sport, but I'm not much for chain-lettering. Happy Friendship Week all the same.

I'm not fond of it either, to tell you the truth. Though it DOES make for an oppurtunity to get back in touch with friends on DA. How've you been lately? I myself had a good Christmas, got together with the family and got some cool gifts, and I'm cowriting a Fire Emblem fic. Well, please let me know how it goes on your end and catch you later.

jmdesantis In reply to Falchion1984 [2009-01-12 21:07:09 +0000 UTC]
It is, of course, always good to hear from you and that you're doing well. I'm glad you had an enjoyable Christmas, and hope your New Year's was the same. Both went well for me, and, as usual, I have now a considerable amount of more literature than I'd had before the 25th of December (I may honestly need a new bookcase in the near future).
As per how it goes on my end, things are good all around, and I have a few projects already this year which I should soon be able to begin working on (after I complete the current story I'm working on for Planet Lovecraft Magazine); and I can see you are keeping your skills sharp and busy as well. Let me know when the piece is done and posted, so I can have a look.
Well, certainly don't be a stranger, and keep me updated on your end of things, as I will try and do the same.

Falchion1984 In reply to jmdesantis [2009-03-12 06:35:03 +0000 UTC]
Sorry about the delay in replying, I was given a one-two-three punch with a biology midterm, a brit lit group project and a film studies quiz. Ugh! As for the cowriting, I have editted and gotten approval for chapters 1-9. MistressofIke, that's my partner, wants me to skip ahead and revise chapter 27. Once that's done, she'll post the revised chapters and 27. So, the changes haven't been made yet but I can link you to the fic so you can keep an eye on it if you like. Well, please let me know and catch you later.

Don't trouble about it; it's often difficult for me to get back to people immediately, and I haven't forgotten what school can be like.
As for the link, I would certainly enjoy having a link to it. Again, I enjoyed the bit of your work I have had the chance to look through, and though I cannot promise I will be able to keep up with the chapters even as fast as you put them up, I would certainly like the opportunity to read them. Thank you, and I hope it all turns out well for you.
