Update on the animation project:

By monday, I guess most of the texturing for navi1 was complete[90% approx].
Need to do it for navi2[neytiri] now..Same color scheme and strokes, but differences in proportion and details..
So, it shouldnt take much time to colour or make-up her..
Another thing worth mentioning: Shifting gears! From a pentium 4, 1GB ram to one with pentium 3, 128MB ram..
Guess this also teaches us to look at both extremes in the same light.
Never get over-excited over momentary happiness/joy nor distress in despair.
In short, level headedness.

And the performance in a photoshop test[creating a copy of image of a game menu in Permeative Technologies, Bangalore] on wednesday could have been better, not because some new tools can be used but because some steps could have been avoided or altered. 
Even working in Photoshop is a kind of art. 
Since there are several ways of doing it, you need to know which tool is best in the given circumstance and also need to be good in painting with the mouse.
Anyway, it was a good learning experience. Obviously, not the same could be said about the travel from Forum Mall to the bus station, which seemed to go on forever. Literally the "journey of a lifetime", fighting for every inch of available space in the packed bus in strange postures!!
Hope someone had "scaled out" that bus![in animation terminology!]
