			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, I woke up this morning and was inspired do some digital painting with OpenCanvas on my computer, and of course, using a tablet.  My tablet is an older Intuos2, works like a charm, and I don&#8217;t have any intention of getting a new one unless this one breaks.  Together, it feels like painting on an open canvas&#8230; sorta.</p>
<p>I purchased the program several years ago, it&#8217;s inexpensive, incredibly small (under 10 mb), easy to follow user interface, and has some great features, like &#8216;Automatic Event Recording&#8217; which records your actions as you go so that you can play and view the entire progress of your work of art, like a movie.  Unfortunately, the parent company &#8216;PortalGraphics&#8217; no longer supports English for the program, or on <a href="http://www.portalgraphics.net">their website, you can click here to see for yourself</a>, more information about OpenCanvas <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opencanvas">can be found on their Wikipedia page, click here</a>.  The last English version I believe is some form of OpenCanvas 4.5, I have version 4.509E Plus.  It will be impossible to get a legitimate english version OpenCanvas serial, so you may have to download OpenCanvas, and settle for a crack or patch (it is known that patched versions have problems of some sort, don&#8217;t know, since mine&#8217;s legit).  I&#8217;m pretty sure you can find an Open Canvas download quite easily though.</p>
<p>Anyways, I had originally planned to do some fan art of either anime or video game characters, however, I found myself browsing through my old sketches instead.  I found a bunch of old incomplete sketches and decided to finish some up.  After going through most of them, I realized that many would never be completed, and that&#8217;s OK with me.  I did however, find an old sketch of my &#8216;Nemean&#8217; monster, whom I eventually made into a fully rigged low poly 3D model (by today&#8217;s standards of low poly), <a href="http://www.scottxiong.com">click here to go to my website and check it out</a>.  I liked the pose, so I decided to just touch it up and finish it.</p>
