Description So this is a thing.

3000x3000, maybe 200 billion layers, it was becoming so resource intensive that I had to restart Krita like every hour, if it wasn’t crashing and restarting for me. (guys I think this program has a memory issue somewhere please fix it angel cant handle this kind of stress segfaults everywhere)

But yeah. I haven’t drawn Angel in awhile, and I’ve really been wanting to draw her and my other digital girls more. So here’s a start! As some of you may know, Angel is the personification of my computer. Clumsy and weak, but still a persistent, hardworking girl, very good at multitasking. UvU

I’m just going to say here, that pose took like two and a half hours to get right. I’m glad she has such a large chest, that made the pose easier to work with, actually. But yeah, working on this was a slow process. Putting the gradients together right, and making sure the light and shine looked good, and wow that background okay I’m surprised at how good it looks even though it’s so simple. (btw, shoutout to *deedledove for design choices!) I’m always worried about how to display the abstract “world" of a computer girl, but y’know, this worked out pretty okay. Actually, everything here worked out pretty okay.

Finally, a drawing of Angel I’m really, really happy with. c:

Yeah... Krita really is resource intensive. Are you using Linux or Windows? If the latter, I've got a a 64 bits version of Krita for download now, which might help if you've got enough memory in your system.  A 3000x3000 8 bits rgb image with 200 layers will, without undo information, but with all layers more or less filled need about 7 gigs of memory, which more than a 32 bits binary can handle. If you're using linux, and your system supports 64 bits, always install a 64 bit distro.

Proud Ubuntu user, here!

Well, I first need to clarify, because it gets to be a pain to sort through lots of layers (even with layer grouping), I usually only stick to a maximum of about 50 layers. From there, I compress the files and start that as a new .kra, for example, angel2.kra, and keep angel1.kra one in case I missed a few details to fix up later.

My computer is not a powerful one, I don't quite have that kind of money to spare. It's 32-bit, and only 3 GiB of memory (standard IBM Thinkpad T60, if you're curious). But for what it's worth, it's not very much of a hassle, for me. Especially thanks to Krita's autosave feature, I never lose too much progress, and - running Linux - I'm used to programs crashing around me. But I think the pros definitely outweigh the cons here, and I'm super happy with it.

I want you to take a minute Ihara, and compare this drawing with the last one where Angel was featured.

I'm absolutely amazed, good work!

Ihara In reply to HeaD-Smash [2013-08-01 17:43:03 +0000 UTC]

Rest assured, I was looking at the older ones the entire time I was working on this one, because I don't draw Angel enough to remember her design by heart whoops.
Thank you!

Thank you aaaaaa~ <3 I really forget how lovely Angel is - but then again, she is an angel, so I guess it makes sense that she should be so gorgeous. UvU

Oh, you say that now, but you never know what the future holds. I'm sure you'll get some super kawaii characters of your own, someday. UvU
