Description I LIKE HOW I RESIZE IMAGES, EDIT THEM, AND HAVE THEM LOOK BETTER THAN THE HI-RES VERSION. ._____.

For
I drew her ID character, durrr. :3

The colors were a bit softer at first, but then I made a color dodge layer and everything became more vibrant. -yay-

I changed my style a bit. And reverted back to soft painting or w/e it called. It's a LOT easier and faster than cell shading imo. D;

Short entry. My power supply is about to explode. I'm going to Tokyo tomorrow. It was really sudden since I was just informed today! Will be back in 2-3 weeks.

I'll be bringing my sketchbook on the 11hr plane flight. :]

Pfft I haven't opened up my Japanese text book since a bit before the AP test. OTL

じゃまたね~ =x

Oh, you mean soft cell shading? Funny thing is that soft cell shading is supposed to be the "more complex" type of shading, but cell shading is hard for me since the lines have to be perfectly straight and all. OTL;;

SAI kind of takes care of the smooth lines in cell shading, but it's the precision that kills me. :[

Thanks. =x

I wish I could get the same reaction from every cg I finish. I guess its that dissatisfaction that drives improvement. =.=;

And you should get a tablet! D;

Student1239 In reply to michizu [2009-06-25 23:43:56 +0000 UTC]

hmm.. maybe it's like what my friend said, something called piro sydrome, where an artist doesnt like his/her work
well i agree with you, dissatisfaction does make one improve more

gah! i know! it's killing me!!
well i am going to try and look for it maybe this weekend =]
but lately i need some time to rest, been having difficulties breathing lol
can't do much atm xD

Amazing colours! I really like when violets, pinks and yellows are together <3 It gives amazing feeling of softness and fluffyness (is there any word like that? XD) really good cg. I love bg <33333

thanks! C;

I was looking through an artbook and I was amazed how they blended complementary colors. I tried blending complementary pastel colors but it didn't turn out that well, so I played with layer settings. ;D

Somehow I ended up with this *-*

Hehe the background was actually pretty ugly. I added curtains to mask all the imperfections. It's a nice touch though. ;o

miqmi In reply to michizu [2009-06-26 11:59:53 +0000 UTC]



Yeah, same with me when I was doing my last 'art'. It looked so ugly but I started to play with layers and masks... It looks okay now :3

Great job I think! You really masked imperfections ;3 I like it!!
