Description Lazy to scan again, so sorry for quality, anyway - it's just a WIP. I kinda like the way it's turning out! Hope you like it too. Dark background again though I promised to myself not to draw it 1 million times!

Oh, I've forgotten - here's the song >>> [link]
(but I guess you all know it - I love the video - and the song is spinning in my head all the time)

March, 2nd
-----------------------------------------

I'm tired of working on PC - and Spring affects my brain - and it's so nice to draw not fanart but illustration for my own story (aka not-actually-metal-not-really-opera) - actually it's a re-drawing of an old work that I haven't finished, haven't submitted and I even don't remember if I began drawing that work I tell you - Spring affects my brain!

Sorry for a bad quality (was lazy to scan it - used a camera) and for submitting WIP again - but I love so much her face here - shame on me - no will-power at all - but I even read manga backwards!!! (if it's still publishing - in two directions - forward and backwards from the middle) - err... what am I talking about - it's not my fault - it's all because of Spring!!!

Have a nice day or night!

Ah, it's Casey and Angie (but you have already guessed)

AND DON'T FORGET TO CONGRATULATE YOUR KITTIES WITH INTERNATIONAL CAT'S DAY!

watch a special cat feature in my journal >>> [link]

(actually coincidence 'cause when I did it I had no idea that today's a international cat's day)

March, 1st

Awesome colouring as always! But I think faces are too light (well I'm not a master how you in colouring skin but it's my thinking about it). Scene is adorable, too!


P.S. Well I haven't got a cat

Thank you for your opinion. It's not a scan and still not finished - so color ain't exact at all - basically I don't make colors bright at one step or even in two steps - I usually do it gradually to make blending smoother and have a balance with BG. After all you can always make colors darker - but making colors lighter can be a BIG problem. Plus I'm going to draw a dark BG so it's easy to make the whole picture look too dark - and that's a thing I try to avoid.

That looks like that's going to turn out very well. There's something dynamic about it. Their faces are drawn so very neatly and well. I hope you finish it.

AngieVX In reply to Brandee-Ssj-Doll [2010-03-03 08:48:27 +0000 UTC]

Aww! Thank you! But you see only a part of the picture now - because it's cropped - don't want to show the whole thing now - but the whole piece is even more dynamic (at least I think so). I feel much more comfortable drawing semi-realistic now (though my semi-realistic style differ a lot from those things that inspired me 1st (Heise's style - when I first saw it I said I want to draw like her) - again I think it does differ - but I like my semi-realistic more though it is weird to me and her technique is far way better than mine)

Brandee-Ssj-Doll In reply to AngieVX [2010-03-04 05:02:25 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome Vera. Even more dynamic than what you've shown? Well if that's the case I can't wait to see the finished product. Don't hold anything back. I'm glad you're having confidence in your abilities, skills and techniques because you have all of them.

Thank you! It has nothing to do with Valentine Day but with International Cat's Day (and beginning of Spring)
Their relationships here are rather complicated in reality.

Oh me too (we comemorate something like Valentine's Day only in June), dunno International Cat's Day, only women's day .

here is beginning of autumn.

Oh a pity, thought that couple has a good relationship.

1st March is Internationl Cat's Day, and yep, we celebrate International Women's Day here too!
Don't worry - they're relationships are good too - they feel very comfortable together - because most of the complications in relationships are artificial when people do love each other.

AngieVX In reply to illusorya [2010-03-02 17:38:09 +0000 UTC]

And it's a rare case - I like the way it's turning out. Actually it's bigger than this - I cropped it . And the colors are softer (because I'm lazy to scan). Also I'm going to re-name it later.

Spoiler: actually they're relationships are a bit complicated at this moment - because she knows that he told her a lot of lie (not cheated and not actually lie in really), though she doesn't know the whole truth. Anyway they need each other, especially her and she hates it because it makes her feel weak and lonely. Long story actually

Thank you sooo much! I'm happy you like it!

Aww! Thank you! I don't worry about preview scans quality too much - it's just a preview after all to get some preliminary feedback... and I'm really happy with the picture... couldn't help to post this stuff!
Don't worry about them - in spite of it all they feel quite comfortable together. Hard to explain. It's like mind says: "no" - heart says: "Hey, mind, stop saying nonsense and watch what will happen !!!"

You ain't lazy - and when you lazy - it means you need some time to think (and it's good to think before drawing than first drawing then thinking how to fix it )

hmmmm, time to think sounds a lot better, i have to admit.

and I hate trying to fix stuff that I did. that's why i never do it

Yeah, I really miss Kimi...even now, and there didn't happen anything yet. At least Superseb is still driving
But you watched it? me too! There's now a Russian in F1
Did you know him before F1?

And I'm so happy that my two favorite Brasilians are now in F1 too... Go Bruno, go Lucas!!!!

AngieVX In reply to Stephy-McFly [2010-03-12 21:51:37 +0000 UTC]

Yep! I watched it!
I've heard something about him but I haven't followed.
This season is going to be interesting.
Poor Bruno - had to perform his first lap on this car today and had no chance to practice before! Actually I was a bit scared for him during his first lap (when everybody's on the track and there are also new pilots like him) but it was fine!

Stephy-McFly In reply to AngieVX [2010-03-14 14:51:23 +0000 UTC]

yea, I feel sorry for him too. I was hoping so much that he would be able to finish the race today...but he couldn't just like Lucas

And poor Superseb, he did soooooo well! He would have won

AngieVX In reply to Stephy-McFly [2010-03-14 15:03:10 +0000 UTC]

Yep, poor Superseb - he deserved winning but his car betrayed him again - actually I kinda disappointed with overal results

AngieVX In reply to Stephy-McFly [2010-03-14 15:20:27 +0000 UTC]

I think it's too early to judge mew point system - now 25 points seem huge but it's because we've got used to that a driver can get maximum 10 points per race. I don't think it's worse than 10-8-6 (which was ridiculous). But at least you know that Superseb is very fast and a car affords him to be fast. Reliability is another question but we can't judge for the 1st race also.

Stephy-McFly In reply to AngieVX [2010-03-14 16:07:04 +0000 UTC]

yep, and it wasn't actually a part that was built by Red Bull. so you can't blame them. and we'll see how the new point system will work. but I think it won't help to make F1 more exciting...just imagine someone wins 5 or 6 races...how are you supposed to beat that guy...
