Description My colored version. Not sure if this is WIP or finished but I doubt I'll play around with it anymore so here it is. I kinda like the feel. I keep trying to go for an aged, traditional look that doesn't appear completely dumb and I think I'm getting slightly closer at least... ^_-

I think you did well - especially the coloring of the paper. It indeed has that parchment look.

Lovely work! I particularly love the creature's fur and the olde tyme parchment backgraound. Makes this look like the old work of a master artist. ^_~

Yay! So happy. I've been working to get this look and most things I try fail and this is the closest I've gotten. Thanks ^_^

Hah, how funny. I keep forgetting there are so many other art sites out there. I go insane enough trying to keep track of all the sites I use already!

But yeah, his art pretty much rocks. I wasn't sure how to work on this style of piece but it was just too awesome to pass up so I had to play around with it a bit.

Glad you don't think I totally destroyed it ^_-

REALLY???! I am so taking you up on that. ^_^

Now I just have to figure out which one... *has entirely too many to choose from*

LOL I really should consolidate my sketches into one or two documents >.>; I didn't realize how many I'd done until I looked in January and saw that between the 15th and 31st, I did around 20ish. I haven't done that much fanart in one month in freaking ages.

Personally I like em separate. They're larger that way so I can see them better.

And I certainly don't hear anyone complaining about the influx of fanart...quite the opposite in fact. (me=happy)^_-

LOL You should see some of the originals. The one I just posted (Seducing Jareth), is here half the size of the original. I usually work an 8/5x11 sheet at 300dpi. >.<;

I know, but some of them wind up HUGE. I'm not sure, but I think I posted this at 25-50% [link]

It's smaller on my sheezy site...

FlameTwirler In reply to demonsaya [2009-02-25 02:42:18 +0000 UTC]

yeah, well things are almost always easier to work on at a large format so that makes sense.

It's 90% of the reason I have trouble with traditional anymore XD
