... I'm hesitantly happy with this. >_> My contacts are burning, I'm tired as hell and have to get up in 6 hours sos it was rushed but still... ^_____^ Colored in OC than I played with it in photoshop... wow, photoshop. It's totally different, I love the selective color and color balances abilities. I looks like a completed pic now instead of a not quite finished piece when I finshed in OC... well I think it does... eyes are blurry.

Lol, my backgrounds suck that's why I never draw any... lazyness. You can always scan photos and copy them in as backgrounds like of city and forest scenes ect. ^^ Or just practice... or both.

Thanks! I got this small collection of colored fanart pics of Naruto by Kotobukitei and they had him with tails and ever since it's all I could think about. ^___^ I just love the half human-furry critter pics.

I soo love the colors on this!! X3;; Its so in tone !! nothing's bleached out and nothing's blackened in x3;; That's a really kickass background *_*; makes me think of all those fights where Naruto gets serious and cool.. and his expression here is just ..*spazz* X3;; *dies* evilicious and cool..

The clothing folds are really solid and the inking is smooth and pro as always. x3;; And you can draw feet in front view .. *envious* x3;; shall play w/ his hair now ;;

GabrielleKelly In reply to Rafale [2004-08-14 03:20:07 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, that means a lot. ^___^ I was very attentive with the clothes 'cause it's a problem I have... stupid wrinkles. The feet too... stupid perspective... stupid color... stupid jpegs... think that covers it all. Lol, I actually put this as my background on my desktop! I've never felt happy enough with a pic to do that before.

Would you mind explaining the in tone thing a bit more? Is that something important when it comes to coloring?

Rafale In reply to GabrielleKelly [2004-08-14 04:09:33 +0000 UTC]

sure.. er.. XD; tho you don't seem to have any problems w/ it.. =3 its basically contrast and stuff.. I'm not too good at this personally >_>;; since I tend to use middle tones a lot in Painter.. basically when you have a lot of middle tones, it sort of washes out the parts you want to emphasize; like highlights and stuff X_X;;
not sure if that helped...

GabrielleKelly In reply to Rafale [2004-08-14 05:16:23 +0000 UTC]

Lol, it helped. I get the concept now... just not how to apply it as a working part of a pic yet. My major problem with color is it's all theory in my head. =_=

Rafale In reply to GabrielleKelly [2004-08-14 18:53:38 +0000 UTC]

XD;; that's better than me;; x3;; I just stare at the screen and rotate the color wheel on the palette a bit.. try to guess at the closest color.. x3; hue/saturation is my savior

GabrielleKelly In reply to Rafale [2004-08-15 04:51:54 +0000 UTC]

My eyes are my only help with color. I just know if it looks good... or in most cases doesn't look good.

Thanks. ^__^ I did some funny things with the transparency of the background layers and some blur multilayers... jpeg kinda killed the main effect but you get the idea. ^^'

GeekUSA In reply to GabrielleKelly [2004-08-14 15:14:58 +0000 UTC]

Haha, yeah, I get the idea. Jpeg tends to kill some of my effects too. Though I'll admit mine aren't great to begin with...

GabrielleKelly In reply to BlackKrogoth [2004-08-13 06:21:36 +0000 UTC]

^___^ thanks... I counted the tails like 3 times to make sure. ^^' Lol, you could draw this pose! I was drawing this at work and had to crouch infront of a reflective glass cabinet to see how it should look... so glad no one walked in. XP Actually the left knee still looks off, the limb feels like it's pushed too far back... anywho... I mailed the sketchies today and Iggy's gonna be a day behind 'cause I'm mailing him today. =_= I wasn't sure how to label a tube to be mailed... still not sure but I think they'll except it.

.... Sleep now.
