Description
Tried out PLS's Coloring methods. Turns out his coloring methods were easier than mine, and were faster, too. How have I not thought about that?This took a total of... three layers in ArtRage... If I were using my own coloring methods, it'll take a thousand.
Anyway, comments and favs are loved!
Jade the X9ian over and out! ^_^

I'm pretty sure your old method of coloring was actually closer to PLS's. His coloring tends to be brighter than this.
Looking forward to the fic.
This looks pretty utsuge. (gratuitousjapanese *cough* *cough*)

I don't know, but I actually felt that this method was somewhat clos to his colouring methods. ._.
But yeah, the fic won't be out anytime soon, though...

Well, it's nice. Is it purposefully messy?

Yeah, it is, Like I said, I tried out PLS's style of colouring.

PLS's artwork is much less messy, though...

Really? His art works always gives me that kind of impression. :/ Maybe it's just me.

I mean, there's a difference between leaving sketch marks and making something messy because you think it looks cool. I just think you went a little overboard on the sketch lines...

Yeah, the coloring just took one layer, the sketches took two, actually, even if the opacity of the first once was just 50% -_- I'll make sure not to do that again when I'm coloring the chapter titles for my fic.

Yeah; the drawing's awesome enough without sketches. And how do you color your drawings? Make a layer underneath the outlines? Or do you color on the same layer as the outlines?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Make a layer under the sketches, usually, i erase one of the layers of the sketches, as I always make two to get a somewhat 'right' position for the character. But for some reason, I didn't feel like erasing the second layer, so yeah, it's really blurded and stuff.

How many layers did your older drawings take. You made it sound like it was a lot....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Two layers for sketches, one for the colors, at least five for shading, for each character, object, you get the idea, and sometimes, even backgrounds take three to four layers.

Have you ever tried drawing a character in Flash (with the intention of animating them)? They take up like a gazillion layers.

I tried, but haven't even finished, though, school's been quite the pain lately. The audios are already taking a lot of my free time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eh, that's fine. A lack of free time is probably why I haven't tried out Photoshop too much... this week if finals week.

I noticed people saying that my boss battle themes aren't 'aggressive' enough, but i don't know how to make them more 'agressive'...
maybe i will listen to Danny's Baranowsky's Boss battle themes more.

It's easy... make heavier beats, use a slightly faster tempo; and have more variation in volume. You notice in HFX's music, there's usually a tune or two that rises above all others; yours all end up sort of melding together.
You notice "Wings," "You'll never guess this," and "Those who Fight" all have heavy beats, different melodies and countermelodies going on at once, and notes that have a real attack to them. Try some, not staccato, but more hard-hit notes; yours tend to be soft.
Sorry if this advice isn't helpful; its just my thoughts.

Well, I prefer going for a more 'Mardek' style kind of feel, I'm not agressive in nature, so it's quite hard for me to immetate Danny's style, and I'm not a fan of too overwhelming auras. In every theme, i only focus on what can be seen, because I'm so bad at discribing emotions in songs, because I've never felt them before. But what i's tried discribing in "A Story Begins" is the importance of the strong bond between friends. That mainly what i focus on describing when making audios.
In 'At Dusk', what I was focusing on was the beauty of the 'Pricess' that you have to battle, and the 'royal feeling', as she is the king's Daughter, so that's why it was a classic and with tumpets here and there...
But I'll try to create an overwhelming aura-ed boss battle theme next time, even if it kills me, maybe I'll learn something from Danny's Boss battle theme with Satan...

Ah, that Danny Baranowsky is pretty cool, isn't he...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, everyone loves him, and HFX, even if he threw CDs at his fans and told them to pay ten bucks, or he trolled his fans by turning the 'End Times' theme into 'jesus loves me'.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow. Sounds like a bit of a jerk.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, he's doesn't do it THAT often, only once in a while so his fans don't really see the problem with that.
