Description Man it feels good to draw on paper again, but goddamn I am rusty, lol.
Well it's a good start though, slightly cleaned in Photoshop.
Feel free to color but please send me a link when you're done, I'd like to see

It was fun to sketch and ink traditionally.
I think my best and favorite method is to make a traditional pencil sketch, and then ink it digitally~

Since I have gone through the personal overhaul I have found I am no longer AS squeamish about cephalopods :3

Taytonclait In reply to MaKo85 [2012-12-13 01:40:02 +0000 UTC]

now that is a considerable overhaul. Tell me when you're ready to see psychedelic squid 'brainwashing' colour patterns they use to intimidate big prey that might fight back.

Use it or lose it! That's what they say right? XD I'd say your skills have survived their hiatus rather well! This is almost an image that I would expect to be in a coloring book, it has that whimsical childlike feel to it. I think that's what makes it so appealing. Awesome job Tina!

MaKo85 In reply to Docile-Dragon [2012-12-12 15:37:24 +0000 UTC]

Funny you should mentioned that, as a kid I loved tracing the lines in a coloring book instead of actually coloring it XD lol

Your linework is really slick! If you really want to get some people to color it, you might consider submitting it to #color-me-club . I've had really good luck with these guys.

Neato!
Well it's meant more of a 'whoever wants to'.
I don't "need" to have it colored...actually I'd like to take my old Prismas for a spin

And thanks, I'm rusty, but I think I can work my way up to my old form *puts on Rocky~esque sweatshirt and starts working out*

This would look really nice with color, deep sea colors <3
After I got used to sketching with pencil, back to sketching in digital >_< got some cool pencil brush

MaKo85 In reply to saint-max [2012-12-12 00:28:09 +0000 UTC]

I like digital, I think it's a beautiful medium which has unbelievable potential.
And I'd love to be able to paint like a lot of artist I like, but I know my limitations.
Going back to traditional felt very good and natural...NOT to say I'll stop digital anytime soon

saint-max In reply to MaKo85 [2012-12-22 10:20:30 +0000 UTC]

I agree, sketching with pencil got its own feeling and I like it way more than sketching in Photoshop. And I do add tone along the way while sketching which is something I cant do on Photoshop

This is cool! I would love to see it colored! (Especially like the shy little crab )
Btw, I don't know if it was intentional, but this looks a lot like your deviant ID

MaKo85 In reply to BlackHat0 [2012-12-12 00:24:05 +0000 UTC]

I will do my own version with Prismas, but you can color it if you wish.

It is meant as a 'calm or soothing' gesture, offering peace and friendship.
As for my ID, I'm currently planning/working on a new one ;3

Shinobi-Raist [2012-12-11 17:15:36 +0000 UTC]

Ironically, this is almost your zodiac sign in a way--just without the goat half inserted with more mermaid-like. I like the combination of sea life you put into this one, too. The crab looks shy haha XD Man, I need to find that sea horse I did in colored ink work and color pencil from back in the day. You'd LOVE it.

Well considering this is the first thing I inked after 6 years it is FAR from what I was capable of producing.
My traditional work was always better than my digital I believe. :3

Thanks!
