So I go to upload my last two presents for voice meme participants, and realize the picture dimensions are waaaaay to big. Anyone know how to resize a file in Manga Studio?
Other that that, I actually finished a drawing! I'm also working on an art trade and a Challenge entry. I want to upload a bunch of stuff at once.
I have my 100th submission planned, but I don't know what to do for my 98th and 99th. Maybe I'll open up some art trades in the future if I'm out of ideas.
Edit: I figured out how to resize the canvas. Now to modify the drawings to make them fit the new dimensions...
If anyone has seen my latest submission, I'd love some feedback. See the description for what I'm looking for.
To all whom I have promised pictures: All sketches are done. Now I just need to color everything.
As the title states, I'm going to be posting my 50th drawing pretty soon. I'm working on #49, and I'm almost at the halfway mark with it. But what do I do for 50?
The answer is to copy Darkarax's idea and take suggestions. I know 50 drawings isn't anywhere near as impressive as Darkarax's 500 wallpapers, but I don't know if I'll ever reach that many drawings. Only time will tell.
I have no clue what I want the subject matter to be. I do know that I want my 50th drawing to be something special, but not too overwhelming.* I want to get it done before June 1, 'cause that's when I kick off the 30 Days of Art event. So, hit me with suggestions!
*When I say overwhelming, I mean like a poster. Kita once suggested that I do a "movie poster" for my story, The Rebels of Planet Aadau. Although I want to do it, I still don't know where to begin with that one.
My longtime friend on theO, Kita Mikichi, and her two buddies on DevaintART (DA) have been challenging each other to draw 30 pictures. Having seen her progress, both here and on DA, I felt inspired to do something similar here on theO (yes, I have permission to use their idea).
The rules are pretty much as follows: Every participant contributes ideas. Each day, the whole group draws out their interpretation of one of those ideas. Everyone posts all 30 drawings. The drawings don't have to be masterpieces.
So, now I need some input. Please answer the following questions.
1. Would you be willing to do this with me?
2. How should this event be hosted? Should I create a World specifically for the purpose of hosting the event and featuring the drawings? Should we all make a post in our own Worlds for this that we can edit as the event progresses? Any other ideas?
3. When do you want to do this? My thought is to start April May June 1. I know I said May, but we do have a student who wants to participate. Is pushing the date back OK with everyone?
4. When should we post our drawings? One per day? Whenever we can? Any other ideas? Keep in mind that not all of us will have easy access to a scanner *cough*likeme*cough*.
5. Do you have any points you'd like to raise that I didn't address yet? Any questions/comments/concerns/hula dances are welcome.
New question: 6. I think there should be a cap on how many can participate. If we limit it to 10 people, everyone can contribute 3 ideas. Is 10 people too many or too few?
Edit: It might be a good idea for all participants to subscribe to each other to keep tabs on each other's progress.
Edit part deux: Content MUST be within site rules. If you're not sure if your idea/drawing is too risque, it probably shouldn't be posted.
Edit the 3rd: Ideas be announced two days in advance of posting. That will account for time zone differences as well as the fact that not everyone can be online every day.
I hope I get some participants. This would be a good way to inject some more life into theO. Or to spam the Fan Art section. Whichever you prefer.

I thought that since it's the end of 2012, I might as well list some goals for 2013. I'll mostly concentrate on artistic persutes and things that pertain to theO.
1. Draw more. I want to get in at least one picture per month. That way, I can do an end-of-the-year art meme. I think this goal is going to have a lot of sub-goals.
1-A. Draw fan art from series that I've never drawn from before. Self explanatory.
1-B. Practice drawing my characters. They need some development.
1-C. Enter more Challenges. This year, there weren't a lot of Challenges that I was interested in. Heck, there weren't a lot of Challenges, period.
2. Start my web comic. It's going to be about me and my OCs. There will be much craziness. This goal can be broken down further.
2-A. Learn to use my tablet. I want this comic to be as computer-centered as possible.
2-B. Learn to use Manga Studio. I've had it for quite some time, but never figured it out. And when I mean "quite some time", I mean the version I have is no longer current.
3. Crack the Fan Art Top 25. Yeah, like that'll happen.
4. Buy a scanner. I don't want to have to go to my parents' to scan anymore. It's a waste of gas to drive just for that purpose. I'll have to do a lot of shopping. Large scanners are expensive.
5. Write more. Poor "Rebels" is neglected. "Survival Instincts" needs an update. I have to figure out what else to add to my library as well.
6. Make a wallpaper. I know the Wallpaper section is kind of dead. But I want to try my hand at one anyway.
7. Do my voice meme. It's still open. Ask me anything, so long as it's appropriate.
8. Start a Challenge. I have SO many ideas. I just can't think of any of them when I get on theO.
Wow. That's a lotta goals. And that's only for art. I have some guitar goals, but I don't want to list those 'cause this is a VISUAL art site. Then again, I do have some ideas about incorporating my music with theO... but that's for a later date.
So, since this is "Comment Day", what are some of your personal goals for the year?
