Description Mirelle wasn't about to let this perfect winters day go by without at least one snowball being thrown. X3

Sorry if I got her character wrong Mirzers. I figured since she was based off of Fayt (somewhat) she'd like to play. And every other entry to this contest seemed like it had them being lovey-dovey or angsty. I wanted to stand out. Plus Mirelle likes snow. X3

I believe that Zeke and Mirelle were puppies together. Mirelle loves him but perhaps he is hiding something to make him so cold towards her?

This was also a sort of quest of improvement for me. I did a trade with Mirzers a long time ago and... if your brave take a look at my first attempt at Zeke: [link] . I hope I did better this time around. ^-^

I was trying for the 'animated movie' feel. I'm not sure if I succeeded but, for now, I'm as pleased as punch with the result. I hope you like it Mirzers!

Wish me luck on the contest

Both characters belong to *mirzers
The picture is all my doing.

I glad someone else agrees (pft, that sounds so conceded!) but my old pictures give me chills- they're pretty bad.

Hopefully I can say the same about my current pictures in another year.

tee hee! I love it so much!! Do you have any tips or tutorials you know about shading?? You do an awesome job on it and I really need some help in that =]

Asheltots In reply to Eccentric-Zeal [2007-12-16 05:25:58 +0000 UTC]

Thank you

Hm, I don't know any tutorials off hand, most of it just comes from experience I guess. My guess would be just to search for coloring tutorials here on DA- you'll get the shading tutorial in with it. X3

Oh, a comic artist eh? I'll have to browse through your gallery some more!

Eccentric-Zeal In reply to Asheltots [2007-12-16 05:54:59 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, and I just started. I'm so excited because the plot keeps growing inside my head, it's going to be a good long one which is a good thing because it'll leave everyone eager for more

I'm actually working on the first page right now. Once I get the hang of coloring in photoshop elements I'll probably redo the pages.

Asheltots In reply to Eccentric-Zeal [2007-12-16 06:28:01 +0000 UTC]

I'm an aspiring comic artist myself but I can't find the time or self-discipline to start it. I admire you. A friend and I have most of the details and plot worked out, its just down to the script and actual art.

I only have one tip: The pen tool is awesome. It will really save you some time and it usually, at least with me, makes the end result look a lot cleaner.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Eccentric-Zeal In reply to Asheltots [2007-12-16 06:54:38 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! My only problem is sometimes the poses can be really hard and I can't always find a model that has what I have in my mind, it's really aggravating. Hard poses plus occasional laziness equals not as good as I want. =/ I just figure, like I said earlier, that I'll have to redo the pages after more practice.

Well, I hope you and your friend get to start it I'll be around to read it if it's posted

So are you saying to use the pen tool for linart? What I usually do is use the paintbrush tool in black for line art. If that's what you mean, I'll try it out =]

Asheltots In reply to Eccentric-Zeal [2007-12-16 13:46:44 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, sorry. I should've made myself more clear. But it will make the line art a lot easier once you get the hang of it. ^^

Yea, I know what you mean. I look down at my art the same way, staring at it for HOURS on end, finding the scrupulous little details [for some reason, only i can see] and find SOMETHING wrong with it. LOL.

Your entry is breathtaking xD You did such a beautiful job on this. I love everything that's in the picture, from the shading to the idea. You can tell that you put quite a lot of effort in this, I like that. (:

Yeah, that picture makes my eyes bleed. T^T I hope I got Zeke's (and Mirelle's) designs down better this time 'round. I worked hard on getting their designs just right but I was also rushing (curse my procrastination ) and you know how that is...

I also hope that Zeke isn't out of character. I figured there were too many Bad Boy Zeke pictures in the world and it'd be different for him to have a OMGWTF look on his face. X3

But I am thrilled to learn you like it Even if I don't place in your contest I was meaning to do some fanart for you anyway. I apparently just need motivation to draw.

Asheltots In reply to meihua [2007-12-09 23:35:38 +0000 UTC]

Y'know I pondered that myself. I finally came to the conclusion that she threw it with her mind- jedi style.

Or somehow balanced it on her nose... Or rolled it up with her paws and swiped at it.

I'm glad you think so Indy. Its nice to hear from you, felt like we haven't talked in ages, are finals going alright with you?

I want to upload the WIP of your present but I also want it to be a surprise. I'm not sure if it will have a background though sense I sketched it out without thinking of the background possibilities. I hope you'll like it anyway.

Indagare In reply to Asheltots [2007-12-10 04:49:00 +0000 UTC]

Finals are done (I have papers to turn in). I hope things are going well with you I hope we can talk again over break, I really enjoy your creative ideas

How about letting me know the WIP when you upload it so I can delete it? I have your accounts watched on the scraps level so anything you do I'm aware of (and visit as soon as I can). But I love surprises so if you let me know, I promise not to view it

I've always loved your artwork To me a heartfelt card is more valuable than money so please don't worry Just knowing it is from a friend means a great deal to me.

Things are going okay. I have a math test (CPT) that I have to take on Wednesday and I'm terrified of it. I have to ace it to make an A on the class. But if I get above a 70% I'll be able to progress to the next class.

I wont upload the WIP. I just keep getting distracted from it. But I should have it done by Christmas. ^^

I'll only feel bad if I don't do it. But, I can't stop myself from getting distracted. I guess I have to be in a certain mood to draw what I'm drawing for you.

I doubt I'll ace it. Math is my worse subject and its hard to find time to concentrate on studying. Even when I'm on DA I'm also researching for my english paper. Yey, multitasking.

Indagare In reply to Asheltots [2007-12-10 16:22:12 +0000 UTC]

*hugs* Then just don't worry about the time Christmas isn't about the presents - those are just the physical manifestations of the love we feel towards one another. The gifts of love and friendship are always more valuable than anything bought in a store. It is Christmas whenever we give the gift of love. *hugs*

I wish I could help but I'm lousy at math too I would be able to help with research for the English paper if you want.
