Awww! Cute! I haven't gotten a chance to look at the contest entries for this year's AE-chan. Is this for AE 06, or AE 07? If it's for 07, hope you win. And if it's for 06, good luck! Ha ha.

That reminds me, people vote for the 07 entries, right? Where do we vote? (My friends and I usually check out the AMVs and Artists Alley, instead of other things. Food's nice to look at, too.)

Hey, I just thought of something, wanna meet at AE?

She's so pretty~ Such a cute picture. I like the sleeping mushrooms What did you use to colour it?

ApplexMint In reply to Jenzay [2006-05-15 06:59:44 +0000 UTC]

The coloring was first done with my watercolor pencils XD
then the color was smoothed out on Photoshop

Thanks for your kind complement ^^..

Jenzay In reply to ApplexMint [2006-05-15 23:58:30 +0000 UTC]

No problem ^^ You did a really nice job of smoothening it.

|D well... I know a faster way to color now..
=_=" instead of making 4-5 color palette for my drawings by hand...
I could use photoshop alone for it I guess...

Jenzay In reply to ApplexMint [2006-05-19 03:35:51 +0000 UTC]

Good point. Digital art is nice that it's quick and there's "undo". Except that I don't have a tablet, so everything takes too long. And, I find that I like seeing my finished piece on paper, rather than sitting on a computer screen forvever

ApplexMint In reply to Jenzay [2006-05-19 06:39:38 +0000 UTC]

Haha... actually, that's my feeling as well
However, with the contest I am entering.. I have to update my skills through learning how to CG
I did something similar before but 3D...
Really, my 3D animation skills could only be used in making houses at max ^_^" People is just a little too difficult

My 3D skills are... well. -_- I made a rubber duck for school, and his eyes came out really wierd o.O With instructions and everything, too. -__-;;

ApplexMint In reply to Jenzay [2006-05-20 09:48:03 +0000 UTC]

XD well.. computer graphicing is just eye straining...
so... instruction or not... does not really matter
one would still have to put in a lot of time...

It's way better than anything I can create...at least as far as my knowledge let's me imagine right now, since I don't draw often and am in Dire need of photoshop to see if I really can draw and colour like that...
But till then I'm jeaolous of your skills...

ApplexMint In reply to radlionheart [2006-03-16 08:50:24 +0000 UTC]

X3 well... the truth is... I really have no skills
-_- still remember my aunt forced me to take all these art lessons when I was 3... coloring, piano and all
but I just dropped all of those after 3 lessons

XD regret that I did not get any drawing lessons... it might have helped a bit...

but I'll work on that on my own
sure it will come around sooner or later ^_^"

Either that or it will be extremely expensive to get someone to come to my house and teach me that

radlionheart In reply to ApplexMint [2006-03-18 05:39:15 +0000 UTC]

yeah I would think.
I've got money to spend though...
So...I guess whever I get the chance I should look up a local teacher in a phonebook and see how much it'll cost.

but whatever the outcome is... ^_^ tools is not the most important thing
I must work on my skills if I want to improve

^_^ I've never really given up on drawing...
Lazy at times because I am busy with other things
but... drawing is what I do to make me feel better... when I am sad... when I need some place to hide ^_^"
it's usually in my fantasy or the bathtub >_>

CKYgirl In reply to ApplexMint [2006-03-16 06:01:43 +0000 UTC]

i hear ya. i love to draw, but slack on it sometimes. it makes me feel good, when something goes right...although that's not often. I struggle with it. baths are great for relaxing and hiding.

ApplexMint In reply to CKYgirl [2006-03-16 08:52:19 +0000 UTC]

really... the pictures I uploaded so far...
they were all drawn when i was crying...
drawing them out tend to make me smile along with them.. that is the reason why I drew...
kind of needed a painkiller ^_^"

CKYgirl In reply to ApplexMint [2006-03-16 15:20:35 +0000 UTC]

I get frustrated that nothing I draw ever looks how I want it to. Your drawings are lovely. It's good that something so nice can come from sadness.

ApplexMint In reply to CKYgirl [2006-03-17 03:03:03 +0000 UTC]

Well... that's why I stopped for a little while
but I picked up the pencil again, because I know I won't get anywhere unless I conquer my fear and go on with the practice ^_^"

In terms of the sadness thing... it's a long story
but... I gained a talent because of that XD
