It's really a shame I won't be able to even INSTALL the demo for this awesome program any time soon.

I don't have the Windows XP SP3 disc, which means, I can't install the east Asian Language support that's crucial for getting this program to work. |=

Hopefully, sometime soon, I'll be able to use it.

SAI is undoubtedly the Art Program that I will always come back to. I've experimented with GIMP(Hated it. It lags like hell, also the interface was aggravating), Pixia(. . . Nothing much to say, but it's a neat little program.), ArtRage(It's really good, being able to emulate traditional media. But still, laggy as hell. I only use it if I absolutely HAVE to achieve a certain effect), PhotoShop(I found that the colors seemed more vibrant, but also very blotchy with uneven tone. I guess that's because of how PS blends colors. And plus, it doesn't lag at ALL. . . until I've had it open for upwards of an hour.), Painter(I don't use it. It's nice, but it requires more resources than available) and a whole slew of various openware/freeware programs.

SAI runs smoothly(even with very large images), even with limited resources.(My PC only has 1 GB of RAM and a 1.33 GHz processor, running Windows XP. It fails, but it gets the job done.) This is what makes SAI such a wonderful program.

And this is also why I wanna get IllustStudio. . . to my knowledge, SAI has essentially been abandoned anyway.

I hope I'm not rambling too much. |:

I was psyched to hear the compliments, then I was pretty much shattered when I read the critique.

I pulled myself back together quickly though xD

I thank you for the helpful critique, everyone on my dA is apparently too nice to give me meaningful comments.

I WILL WARN YOU, This photo is kind of. . . Well, I had to mark it as "mature" on deviantart. (there's no nudity, it's just suggestive) I strongly urge you not to look if you're easily offended by sexual themes.

It was inked and colored in SAI. She's my character, Mei Phan.

Any comments?

C: Hi. I just wanted to let everyone know that there has been a (relatively simple!) fix for using SAI in MAC OS X.

http://biancajo.com/blog/?p=35

You can read about it there. I've checked it out, it's safe.

I just haven't been able to test it on a Mac ^-^;;;

I was just preparing for when I do get a Mac, I need my SAI after all.(sai is love )

Well, I was planning on registering here a loooooooong time ago(when I got SAI) but, I never got around to it. Why you ask? Because I was lazy. That's why.

Anywaaaaaaaaaay, I'm just another mediocre artist with big aspirations(and a deviantART profile. LE GASP)


I hope to share my work here with you guys and not suck TOO much c:
