That means free access to Photoshop CS2 - and that already has most of what you could ask for, really.
All you have to do is create a FREE ADOBE ID.
I am not sure about commercial use, but MAN. FUCKIN’ SWEET DUDE
Reblogging for the greater good.
I’m unlikely to pick it up as I honestly never use PS anymore, but here everyone who follows me. Free stuff.
oh wow this is perfect i was just lamenting that i’d have to buy creative suite for my new laptop WELP
Signal boost for any of my followers who need art programs!
The cs2 programs date back only a few years, and still have much of the functionality of today’s more modern ones. The differences between most of the versions are little more than slight modifications or additions of minor features, and UI changes. Go for it guys!!
I like how they say a few years like it didn’t come out around my senior year in high school.
SPOILER: that was over a decade ago.
They’re not giving them away, guys. This is the same as before. Does nobody online actually read anymore?
Quote from the page:
Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 products, including Acrobat 7, because of a technical issue. These products were released more than seven years ago and do not run on many modern operating systems; Adobe no longer supports them. Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software. Only customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products may use the serial numbers provided during the download.
Important part bolded for your leisure. It’s right there in the text, easy to read and understand. Because of this clause, if you haven’t actually got a purchased copy of the programs, you’re illegally downloading the programs and you’ve deluded yourself into thinking it’s legit.
It’s come to my attention that a seller on Amazon by the name of Orica Boutique is selling “custom Yu-GI-Oh cards” with stolen artwork from multiple sources. Yes, mine is one of them, and there are MANY others whose works are recognizable, such as DrGraevling and X-teal.
I don’t normally make a big deal about people posting my art and such because it’s the internet, but when they’re profiting from it without permission, sourcing, or anything, that’s bullshit and needs to be addressed. Just a friendly reminder to you folks, when you see this kinda shit, report it (or at the very least, tell the artist who’s being ripped off).
Also, if you recognize any other artists’ work in this seller’s gallery, let those artists know.
A good friend of mine passed away recently. The guy has been known by many names, Badman in particular but to me he’ll always be Ransak. (His DeviantArt name.) I met him over seven years ago, he was the champ-to-beat when I joined the OCT scene. And since that first silly comic tournament where we both referenced DBZ in the finals he’s become a valuable friend and one of the best people I know.
To Ransak, from the first time we got to hang out IRL he drank me under the table playing Speed Bump to the last time I got to see him, deliriously happy with his fantastic wife and fellow OCT goofball Knolli.
I don’t know what else to say except that I miss you, man. I can stare at this keyboard trying to find better words but I know you’d kick my ass for floundering around instead of driving forward. So that’s what I’m gonna do.
On December 23rd an artist you may know of, by the name of BadmanBastich, unexpectedly passed away. While the details are unclear, it is known that he did not likely suffer.
I knew of Badman through reputation only but there are many people I know who knew him personally and described him as an exceptionally warm person even while being wildly inappropriate. While it’s a shame that I never had the chance to know him, I wanted to contribute something to the Tribute effort kicked off by AnimeFlux.
rabbidhectix asked: Hey drgraevling, do you mind if i ask you a private question real quick? I'm starting my first life drawing class on the 19th of this month and I was wondering if you had any advice I should keep in mind before setting foot in there?
Not sure exactly what advice to give. Keep your sketches loose. Don’t try to get details, just try to follow the shapes of the body of the model. Don’t try to create any master pieces. You’re not there to create a flattering image based on a model, you’re there to practice shapes. Similar to when you’re drawing still life.
My part of the Badman Tribute. He and I had a running joke from the very beginning of our friendship. He wore a lot of cool hats, and he always kept the foil sticker on them. I always teased him about it, saying one day I’d tear one off and see if he noticed, to which he said he’d have to trash/burn the hat if I did.
This is the hardest thing I’ve ever drawn, not because of technical stuff, but because of what it is. I know this doesn’t do him justice, but it’s my small way of remembering some of the great times we shared and what a cool dude he was.
I miss you, buddy. Know that you’ll never be forgotten.
Right before New Years, Animeflux gave me some very sad news: BadmanBastich, our friend and peer had passed away just a week prior.
Badman was a great guy to stream with, or to just hang out and chat over Skype together with mutual friends.
He was also a great artist with a very expressive style and a bunch of fun and cute characters. So as a tribute to a lost friend and peer, I’ve drawn his character Bobbi, together with MissNips’s character Nipsy.
