Painting Realistic Hair/Fur Sucks

xD It would be cool to see your past works.

-goes to see if I can find my portfolio-
My Portfolio
it doesn't have my most recent stuff such as the poster and logos I drew for the 2008 Greater St. Helen's Graphic Competition

YAY I am not the only one! My sister was telling me how her boyfriend doesn't have the same problem and he works on large files too so I thought it was something I was doing wrong. I have the exact same situation where saving would take 5 minutes + and stuff.

I've get 3gigs of RAM so I think next is I need to upgrade my graphics card...

Side question: Would the printing quality difference for 150 dpi and 300 dpi be really obvious? I'm working on something myself but only at 150 dpi because I don't think my comp can cope with 300 dpi.

I think it depends on how high the printer can print up to. Otherwise I'm not sure.
I only know that 72dpi is web and pretty much anything above 120dpi is good. 300 dpi is will kill my computer as I go on and 500dpi is godly. x.x
I seem to always start out with 300dpi but then am forced to downsize to 150dpi, 120dpi in order to not kill my computer x.x
I really want to be able to keep this one at 300dpi though

You can run Fiesta and Photoshop (with a file that large) at the same time before?!!?! I think my computer will die of lag at that point, haha.

I'm probably really prone to BSoD so I don't do it often
did it yesterday since I wanted to sell off my lanterns while I was working on my dragon.

Sounds like your tablet is really flipping out. =[ Hopefully you can get it fixed soon, I don't know what I'd do without my tablet.

I broke it~~~~~~~~~
This afternoon when I went to get up to open the door for my roommate I tripped over the cord.
So the cord got yanked out of the socket and when i went to put it back I discovered that the USB socket broke off into my cord and I can't get it out.
Now I can't use my tablet until I am somehow able to get a new cord, which hopefully is possible
