Description The Feather's Shadow, Chapter 1, page 2.

<<< READ RIGHT TO LEFT <<<

<Edit>
Alright, fixed the 3rd panel. The brush used on this one can be found here --> [link]

Still haven't gotten around to making a cover...

I don't have any screentones or anything. Just did with what I had. A million thanks to all Deviants who made tutorials on:
- manga hair
- chains
- homemade brushes
- soft cell shading
- etc.

Also, the crosshatch brush used for the background of the 2nd panel can be found here . I made it myself, because although it can be found in a lot of places, I couldn't find one that would work with Photoshop 7. All the ones I found were for CS and above. So I made my own.

I believe the quality on this page went up quite a bit since last time's. That's what I get for learning to use soft cell shading (first used on Ruri ). On the other hand, I admit to giving in to laziness and not making the 3rd panel as good as it could have. I'll try fixing it later...

And this third panel's appearance--! This I must give credit to ! When I asked her something, she drew me a quick sketch --> [link] I thought the angle was so much better than my original idea, and she let me use it as a ref. I did not trace, I copied the pose... because I'm so bad at drawing. So .


On a completely different note, this is my 100th deviation! We should celebrate . Ok, I don't know how, but yeah, it is unbelievable that I already churned up so many...


Constructive criticism is welcome~

- PS Touch for iPad -- panels assembly
- Sketchbook Pro for iPad + Boxwave stylus -- sketch and lineart
- Adobe Photoshop 7.0 + Logitech mouse -- "coloring," shading, and text

ah, nice screen tones^^, would suggest you add white rims to the sfx words, so people can see it more clearly against the dark bg. just do something like my words 'grunge' here:

oh, i see! it looked ok in photoshop, but converting it to jpeg or tiff sometimes screws with the darkness/lightness of things

darkn2ght In reply to flameshaft [2012-08-11 08:05:55 +0000 UTC]

try png...but not sure, as i never used screentones in ps before though i do know that printing screentones in psd files can turn out loking screwed at times. saw that it happens at times to people i know in DA

flameshaft In reply to darkn2ght [2012-08-11 09:46:19 +0000 UTC]

well, it's not really screentones... i just used stuff like "add noise" and textures, and my custom brushes...

But yeah, that's why i should check the jpeg/tiff/png before uploading.........

flameshaft In reply to greiyuu [2012-08-04 09:51:34 +0000 UTC]

Haha, thanks. It's mostly pictures of food that i have, and those don't take much time. You submit lotsa drawings, so it takes more time.

I know 1 drawing takes me forever.

greiyuu In reply to flameshaft [2012-08-05 05:17:27 +0000 UTC]

Hey, one drawing takes me forever too!! Most of them took me more than two or three hours...

flameshaft In reply to greiyuu [2012-08-05 06:29:21 +0000 UTC]

if yours take you 2-3 hours.... i don't even bother counting the hours on mine, especially since i do them a little at the time.

me likes your drawings, thought ^^ i still have the one you gave me~ (will put it on my bulletin board once i get one)

flameshaft In reply to greiyuu [2012-08-05 09:18:25 +0000 UTC]

since i barely draw traditional (no supplies, and no Ctrl+Z ^^"), let's not even talk about them.

I'm super used to photoshop though~~

greiyuu In reply to flameshaft [2012-08-05 10:18:30 +0000 UTC]

you rely on comps too much. control Z is not really the best thing in the world you know? i like feeling the strokes on the surface of the paper~

lol, i've always been a photoshopper before an artist, so... and i never did get used to drawing on paper... maybe i'll try it at another time, but right now, drawing on ipad helps me to not have a billion papers laying around. also, since i usually have it with me, i can work on hnk or whatever else whenever i want.
