Cameyo, you are so very right. You cannot escape yourself no matter your location.
For me, right now yesterday, today, and probablly tomorrow, I am doing a tutorial on a very basic level, and it is hard work because there is no scripts that they are able to watch. The reason I am doing this is because they are on a very very tight income, and ZB just does not show what they are getting into should they buy the program. They have never done digital art before, but are very interested in how it is done. But they want and need to know more before they will put out any bucks on this because they have such a tight money situation. So just doing a quick painting, sky, treeline, central objects to be a tree and water (they all want water LOL), and showing what I have done thru exporting it as BMP and putting it in the email as picture, and I also show them the alphas I am using and how you can scale it (can only show the end result so they can see what is meant by scaling it, and showing them at different intensities.
Hard tedious work, but they have been basically begging for it, and I could not deny them any longer, as it was getting to my conscious. So instead of working on what I would rather be working on, I am doing this, but I am sleeping better with myself at night. And when I am done, they will decide if they want to save for the program (or even a new computer so that they have one that can handle ZB or other art programs that are 3d). It is just alien to them, so helping to take that away so they can make an informed decision. Living on 600 a month with kids is not an easy job I am sure. So they have to know with a good degree of certainty that this is something they truely want, and something they can do.
It is as you say, you have to sleep with yourself and live with yourself, or it nags on your conscious.
Hey, sent you email, not sure if it was right address, let me know okay?
