Description I love: The hair, the lineart, the subject matter, the background.
I'm unsure about: The arms, the face.
I hate: Everything else.

I was completely sure that the hair was going to turn out to be the worst part, so I got it done first. Come to find out, it's the only thing that I REALLY like about the shading. It looks shiny, even if it is slightly undetailed and rubbery. I don't know how to shade portraits. I'm a bad person. The thing that happens with Megellin's colours... is they look good on anything. Any portrait you put them on, they make the portrait look good. On a mediocre portrait like this one, he looks decent in his own colours, and every other colour possability makes me want to gag. Why did I make a remappable portrait for Meg? Whyyy?!

Yeah, I dunno, I'm already upset about this portrait. I'll have to make him a new one. I'm a bad wife. T-T I suppose he likes it, though. Ah well, he's crazy, so that makes me feel better about it. The only thing about it is... it looks WAY better than his old one. So yeah, imagine something that looks worse than this; it's hard, I know. I'm glad I'm getting rid of the old one. That's the only real pro.

The first, second, and third colours are all Megellin's colours. His main colours are the first, the second is for his Joutei transformation, and the third he liked when he told me what to put for the colours to show the deviation, so he adopted them. The rest are random, except for the one with the black background at the bottom, which I thought were nice. And if you're a dunce, the big picture is the actual colours that remap into all that crap.

Oh and... the background is by Indigo Nightfall.

))): stop beatin yourself up over it, i think it is GORGEOUS and better than what most people could do with portraits (epecially me sjdfbsajf). But i guess its not about really what other people think about it, but most importantly how you feel..since you're the one who made it XDD. i also like the hair and find nothing wrong with the arms ^^

McKaela-chan In reply to bleufang [2007-02-19 22:00:55 +0000 UTC]

I think my problem with the arms is that when I go to remap to certain colours it looks too bright. Or if I remap the hair to white it's too dark. I dunno... x.@;

But thank you. <3

Oh man, and I hate this one with a raging burning passion full of STDs and puke.

That made no sense.

But thank you, I hate it, but it's definitely better than his old one. I just have to find some way to make one that's to the standard of my other portraits for him. u.u;
