Finished! (Somewhat)

After fighting with Blogger to design my page (I bought my domain this time) The page is suitable, for now.  I am currently looking for a web host so I can have full control over the site design.  This way I can include all of my projects in one location; or at least linked from one location.

8 or 16 Bit Color Depth For Digital Painting


The question to use 8 or 16 color continuously comes up. I have tried to get a definitive answer to this question, but found nothing concrete. I have been using 16 bit for some time now. Mostly due to the advice of a friend who happens to be a professional photographer. I have to say I don't really notice a difference in my paintings, but I kept at it since it might help with better print results. This question wouldn't be coming up again if it weren't for the fact that I am looking to move to a Linux environment. Unfortunately I use Photoshop and Adobe only supports Windows and Mac OS's. But the alternatives,such as GIMP among others, only support 8 bit color. So do I really need 16 bit color?

Still Working

I am still try to design both the look and navigation of my portfolio / gallery in the world of Blogger. Then I will migrate my previous tutorials to here or link to YouTube.

Coming Soon.

I am currently working on designing this site.  Please be patient, I should have things up and running soon.
