Upgrading my monitor

Published July 28, 2007

The new piece of Inkscape practice is now up for this week as my journal header. I'm not sure how good Samus looks in cartoon form; the problem with a chibi-esque Samus is the she should be all shoulder-pad, and a chibi sized arm doesn't really work well with that cannon. I might have over-done the shinies too, although I think the style of battle armour would work well in some sort of space-themed action game. I'll have to keep that in mind.

I wanted to finish this off yesterday but was delayed by a killer headache. I'm starting to think my old monitor is up to replacement age; it's getting harder to judge colours when working with images and web design, and the picture is wobbling slightly from time to time.

I've made a post in the hardware section to ask for recommendations on a new monitor purchase, as I haven't been keeping up with latest developments.

Yeah, that one's a little confusing. I assumed it was something from Metroid, but it wasn't immediately recognizable to me.

I probably spent a little too long on the logo and had to go with the first pose I made for Samus. If I hadn't run out of time I should have drawn her again, but to keep in the spirit of the exercise I have to post it up some time Saturday.

Next week I'll do something non-Nintendo to break things up a little. I'm not sure which game I'll pick yet.
