painting...and crashing

ohhhh frstrrrrrrration
got up to sequence 6 (it is friday) - - target was sequence 8 - - however decided it really needed some painting play.
however - my sweet little netbook machine is just too too weak to handle all this heavy bitmap stuff and going so slow and periodically crashing when i save
grrrrrrrrr
am backing up like a mad cowboy, but methinks i may need some more grunt if I'm going to be able to keep speeding ahead.

must be patient
will post some tests by lunchtime i hope.


i really like painting
another process of working it out as you go along..
i start with a hazy idea in my head about what it should look like based on what is going on in the story...she is disappearing into the 'black hole'... but the actual tools (software paintbrushes, papers etc) are somewhat dictating what happens frame by frame and therefore on screen, and by inference, what goes on in the story.
it's a bit scary and random
