First off, sorry for totally disappearing for a minute there... I moved! I'm just getting back into the swing of things.

Anyway, I downloaded Firealpaca today.... I'm not totally hot on it. It's way easier to color and I assume line in it, but the interface is frustrating for me coming from Photoshop that I got fed up and went straight from sketch to color. My biggest thing, which seems kind of arbitrary but really helps me, is that in PS your brush cursor is a circle, the size of which corresponds to the brush size you're using. In FA it's just a pen shaped cursor that doesn't indicate size, and it really messes me up. I wanted to line this and make it nice but that one thing made just doing the sketch kind of annoying. I like the customizable workspace and the way the tool windows are presented in PS better, and navigation is way easier (holding down right click or just using the trackpad lets you scroll over your image... in FA it's how you zoom in and out??? you can't scroll around your window unless you use the side scroll bar or the nav window)

On the other hand, FA has a pen stabilizer which is amazing and I imagine makes lining way easier, blending colors is a million times better looking and easier and the program is smaller so it doesn't bog down my comp. If only there was a way to change the hotkeys, cursor and navigation the way I like it it'd be a perfect program for me. Ah well, it'll still be nicer to line and shade with over PS. (So I guess I'll sketch in PS, line in FA, flats in PS and shade in FA and this is getting complicated)

SO YEAH maybe I just need some more practice with it. I'll play with it some more.

Anyway anyway, this is Jo's final(probably also her skin colors are not right) look for my Bleach AU- the current storyline, when she comes back with her visord for the shadow war and before she is made a captain way later. I wanted to throw in a little of her Ghosttowns look and bring her scarf back... I realized that while Jo is pretty dumb sometimes she probably would be prudent enough to cover the weird metal plate sticking out of her chest that also happens to be her lifeline haha. Her sealed 'zan have changed very slightly, and I just realized now I forgot her tattoos which were also redesigned slightly *dies*

Her armor isn't totally gone, she just doesn't wear it all the time anymore. When she knows she's going to be fighting she can summon her armor bits freely as a part of her Zanpakuto

I'm going to do another outfit thing for her bleach self here pretty soon, and I've been re-writing her profile to make it... well, better than it was haha. Plus, Trickster's name and abilities have changed~
