Description (grr...DA died just as I was uploading...thank god for C+P)

Yes, there's should be an apostrophe in the title. Stupid DA and no apostrophese...

*ahem*

I feel like an artist again! Heehee. After seeing stuff by people like ~ ninja-ed and ~Chelsee , I realized that I was just doodling again. So I sat down and started sketching. And it turned into this. I used a stock picture for reference. The rest is all me, baby. It took me all day to finish.

This is Donavin, by the way. From my Naruto AU called "Stories from the Roof Top." This is from far down the road in the story. I won't tell you what happens until I have it all planned out. ^_^

Donavin is Gaara in Roof Top. *nods*

Mechanical pencil. All day. Might attack in painter or something, 'cause my pencil shading is still really rough. I really like the grungy window.

*scratches head* You say perspective is off on "The Rooftop - Cover" but not on this one? Strange, since this one is screwed up in a million ways.

Awesome! I wish my hair was like that lol. I love what you did with it. Nice work on the "grungy" look on the building. I like the idea and feel to it. Nice strokes too.

Yay! ^_^ And you CAN have hair like that...just grow it a lot and use some hair gel. *nods*

Holy monkeys! That background is wonderful! *Envy*

Beautiful job on the clothes and pose. I can;t get over that bg.... I have no luck with them at all- especially when they are that detailed.

*giggles* I used to suck at backgrounds. I still do. You know how I got around it? I stopped treating them as backgrounds. ^_^ I think of it as just extending the figure. Or adding something in. Like the window was an add-in, and the floor boards were just an extention of the figure. *shrugs* It's how I cope with the "background" issue.

As for the detail...it's just scribbles and smudges, mostly. ^_^

Thanks for the fave, by the way.

(your far better than me at figures and poses and stuff, anyways)

Ooooo! Interesing concept. Nice to know how you cope with it. I used to love doing scenery pictures, but now I just can't do them anymore.

(I think I focus on the figure a little too much, but thank you for the compliment.

I've never been able to do scenery. It sucks.

*oogles* Wow! Great work, Sara! I wish I could churn out stuff like this!

You can! You do better pencil work than I do. It just takes a little time.

Ooooh, you're back at it again. Awesome! What's that mysterious word on the wall to the left of his head, hmm?

celticangel In reply to nullterminated [2004-07-05 19:14:23 +0000 UTC]

Bwahaha, I'll leave that for people to figure out on their own. Since it's based on Gaara, some should be able to figure it out. ^_^ But you gotta read farther to find out.

Good Job Evil sister! I love the background, THe only thing I see that could be improved is that the torso is a tad bit thin. Other than that everything looks great!

celticangel In reply to geoohki [2004-07-05 10:51:24 +0000 UTC]

And the torso thing was intentional. Donavin isn't exactly a big guy. And quite skinny, too. Plus it's a really weird angle to get it to look right. XD
