I have to merge my layers more often than is best, because otherwise it gets to be too many of them, and I can't keep them strait in my head.
I suspect this will be less of a problem with more practice, but practicing is a pain, when it takes so long and it's so hard.
I think I'm going to have to find a way to steal Dragyn's skills, instead of building my own. He made the entire Dark Lord of Chocolate page, including the drawing, uploading and the HTML in an hour. The drawing probably only took half of that. How can you spend a whole day drawing something, knowing that it'll look half as good as what he can do in half an hour? It boggles the mind, and fills me with rage.
I'm going to kill you in your sleep tonight, bro. I'm going to kill you and steal your powers.
