Description Here, have a silly picture of Quan Chi.

I'd like to say that I listened to like, really cool power metal or something while I made this, but actually? Spice Girls and Madonna and the Burlesque soundtrack. XD Every time I see this drawing, that's the sort of thing that starts playing in my head. Kinda wish I could animate that, holy crap.

Here's one of the songs if you'd like a similar Quan Chi experience XD youtu.be/20OGm_-RebE

Anyways! About 80% of this was done with the old tablet. It took everything I had to not just redraw the whole thing when I got the new one (it is soooo much better) but I did end up fixing a lot of things. I feel like some things in this drawing are still a little shaky, but over all, I am happy with it! This is my first attempt at using color digitally.

The actual size of this thing is 6000 x 6000. Is that normal to work at that size? My computer could barely handle it! XD

This new tablet is nice! I love it! I'm probably still going to take a drawing break for a week to give my hand a rest because I definitely don't want to be in as bad of shape as I was 8 years ago or whatever. Tendinitis is not your friend. It's just not.

He looks so majestic XD
You're really killing it with this new tablet, even if a lot of it is with the old one. I knew you would!

I usually work on 3000-4000 pixel size personally. Often my pc will just go "nope!" If I have too many pieces open at once, or if there are a lot of layers!

And look after your hand! Don't want you hurting yourself D:

Ohhhh thank you! Hmmm, maybe I will try working at that size instead, the 6000 seemed a bit much XD It had a ton of layers too. Thanks for the tip.

I'm trying my best to let it rest, I put all my drawing stuff away. Sigh. Doing ok today!

I'm working on a piece with sooooo many layers atm that photoshop is having a right bad time. Feel so bad for the poor thing XD

Glad you are feeling a little better <3

On the one hand it's creepy,dead people,dark souls,but look at him,he shines with cute!
I'm glad that you liked the new tablet,the most important thing that it was comfortable,the hand should remain intact!I draw in the resolution of 1920x1920,but I guess I'll have to try larger owo
I don't want to ask this,but why did you start Tendinitis?

Thank you! I have a thing for scary dudes acting cute instead. XD He's a very bad man, but I just want to draw him doing silly things only. Thanks for letting me know what resolution you work at. I have no idea what's a normal resolution so I'm going to try a lot of them to see what seems most comfortable.

I first got tendinitis when I was about 23 or 24. I was in art school, and I was doing a lot of sculpting and pottery. I think it was the pottery specifically that did the damage. The tendinitis was so bad I could hardly open doors and things with my right hand for like a year. I got hurt because I was not working ergonomically, and I was working for very long hours. This was years ago, though, and I went a few years without much trouble, but tendinitis is something that can start up again easily if you're not careful. I try to be as ergonomic as possible, but it's a challenge. I'm feeling a lot better today though. I've been working with an alarm clock so I remember to take breaks to stretch once in a while.

I, too, think that I need to try change authorization,from for this of course more time leaves on drawing,but includes what room! ^0^
I hope that now it will not disturb you,just watch yourself and take breaks!
Don't worry,last year I was diagnosed diabetic,it is of course a long story,but let's just say that I had tea with 5 spoons of sugar and taking the chocolate...but don't worry,I take care of myself and try to keep the sugar normal owo

Thank you! Those are two things that I am extremely self conscious about drawing, so that means a lot.
