Ahh no worries, I was also really shy growing up ^^ It's taken a few years trying to work my way as a filmmaker to get me to be a little more bold.

you're a filmmaker thats so cool compared to my friend i'm as outgoing as can be she won't even talk to our teacher (i'm in 5th grade).
i let my other friend read the alanna ones and she loved them and now we talk about them ad everybody's (goddess i can't spell) all confused

Hehe, well, it's not like I've made anything worth mentioning yet. But please support me if I ever release a movie in theaters! hehehe

Don't worry about being too outgoing at your age! There's a lot more to be outgoing for later on, like at the end of high school and in college. For now it's aewsome if you have good friends you can rely on and talk to about anything.

Hey! I really love this piece of art What tools do you use? Tablet? Photoshop?

Maseiya In reply to ccelvensmith [2011-01-07 23:13:02 +0000 UTC]

Hi! Thanks for your comment ^^ Umm... for this piece I drew Alanna and Faithful with a pen, then scanned it in and colored and tinkered around in Photoshop... using a tablet. Haha! It's really quite basic here, but my strengths do not lie in color/lighting/shading, unfortunately.

Thank you! I've actually tried going on youtube and looking for video tutorials on how to paint and stuff... but alas I just lose all interest/dedication/concentration abilities when I go past something like a measly 2 hours. T_T;;; But hey, are you interested in learning more about toning and stuff? (I remember faving your one toned piece, the one of the girl's head, profile view?) Because I've just set up a group called the Tortall Comics Project, and we will definitely need people who can tone comics! Are you interested at all? Check out the link here if you are: [link] Thank you again!!

ccelvensmith In reply to Maseiya [2011-01-15 05:06:07 +0000 UTC]

I would say sure, if I could actually tone I can't even remember how i did it that one time! But, if you really need it, I could always figure it out, since a lot of my friends are good at it!

You know, I find myself faving pretty much all your Tortall stuff. I love you. And this is the greatest Squire Alan- you make it look possible that she would be a girl, without making 'him' look feminine.

Sorry for spamming you with faves, but it makes me so happy when people properly depict book characters as I imagine them. Your art is so, um, I think inspiring is the right word for it. xD It makes me wanna try. ^^

Aww thanks for the compliment ^^ Taking a look at your gallery--I'd love to see you try some TP fanart with some of the human characters and their animal counterparts! I don't see enough of Faithful, or Jump, or Peachblossom, etc., etc..

Please link me if you ever do TP fanart, seeing other people's work inspires me as well!

fdgjhg thanks you~ That means so much! Actually looking at your stuff did kick me in the butt to start linearting some stuff.

And on the subject of TP, have you ever read books by Tanith Lee? They're kind of similar and really good~
