Description Just taking as quick break from my housework (I am waiting for the kitchen floor to dry...) - this is the lineart for my next 'project'. Yes, I am going to attempt to colour some lineart. Wish me luck and prepare for tantrums...

It's been a long time since I've inked anything - this was kind of fun. Since I have a horrible suspicion I am going to feck up the end result royally, I like to keep a nice, clean copy for posterity...

No reference, yes she has big hands (it's intentional), no, I haven't drawn feet (originally she had trousers on, but it didn't suit the tone of the picture - the skirt works MUCH better) and I know the moon doesn't fit on the page properly. Buggering scanner....

That is really beautiful lineart. Very graceful and elegant, and yet pretty scary. Some of the better work you've done, maybe!

Wow, I love the lineart for this! This is probably some of the best lineart I've seen in quite a while! The colored version is awesome, too of course

Thank you, m'dear! I was surprised at how much I enjoyed doing this - I am normally very nervous of inking, 'cos it's so permanent and one mistake can ruin a pic, but this one was okay

Holy Bajeesus! That's some really crisp and clear line art. And the differing line weights really gives it a totally professional look. And you did a background!!!! Nooooo! Now I'm the only one who can't do backgrounds anymore!

Hehe, really though, this kicks some major ass. I love her creepy hands and her spiked tail. And that flower back there looks freakin PERFECT. And all the lines are nice and even and straight, you must have a really steady hands. I got very shakey hands and it makes inking difficult. I tend to make blobs from pausing too long, and wavey lines from being jittery. Grrr.

If you cleaning house results in kick ass art like this though...then you should really clean house more often. ... *tracks some dirt and mud on your newly cleaned kitchen floor then awaits more masterpieces.*

Thank you...

I haven't inked anything in donkeys... I was realy nervous about doing it, but it was good fun in the end Since I invaribly have no idea what I am doing, I just kind of went off in my own little world and crossed my fingers. As for the background - draw boxes! Yay for boxes!

Grr... I hate housework. After scrubbing and vacuuming and washing up yesterday, I woke up this morning to find the slugs had had a party in the hall (mmmmm, slug trails...) the cats had thrown all their food over the floor and I still had everything to wash up from last night. I think I'll live like a slob again. Life is soooo much easier when you're not house-proud...

she's certainly a lovely creature, the hand distortion really adds to the mood, sort of a "come here, I won't hurt you...much"

yeah... hand distortion... heh heh heh... (okay, it was intentional, in a way.... well, in that 'ooops, they're big... ahh well, she's a demon!' kind of way!)

Thank you!

If I was good with coloring I would have asked an attempt at coloring this but now i can only watch now and drool and of course wait for the colored version

You're good at colouring! If you want to colour her, go ahead (god knows, it'll be better than my scary attempt! Colouring lineart is not my forte...)

Thanks!

Thank you, my dear! I've coloured it, but I'm not sure how much of a success it's been... it's very... *purple*. Oh yes. Purple. Good job I like purple!

DrowKat In reply to Mistresselysia [2005-08-16 23:09:47 +0000 UTC]

It's pretty! ^_^ I had to fave the colored one too! ^_~

Purple is the holy color... and speaking of that... have you looked at the note I sent you?

Mistresselysia In reply to DrowKat [2005-08-18 08:08:36 +0000 UTC]

Purple is most definitely the holy colour! All hail purple!

Tasteful succubus me dear, I would give only 1 small recomendation though, like her skirt could use a bit more dettails, that should be it. Either way she's looking real cool Excellent face making and pretty nice demon tail of hers. Keep it up dear. Now other things you put here, such as the moon, u claim they don't fit but I don't think so. Succubi, well they feast on men's flesh, after.... lol having fun, and it happens all night, so a blood-stained moon would be real cool And the flower at the other side of teh picture could be dark colored That would be brutally awesome

Anyway I'm sure you'll do a great work on coloring this

Thanks, my dear!

I didn't add any more detail to the skirt because I was intending to colour the lineart, and since my previous attempts have gone woefully wrong to the my habit of stupidly exessive detail, I tried to keep it simple... dunno if it'll work, though!

Lovely drawing! The lineart is gorgeous; I love how you really varied the linework. Very clean, with a nice, simple background shape to add to it but not detract attention. =]

Mistresselysia In reply to enigmaticpheo [2005-08-15 11:15:09 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! I find backgrounds very hard, so I'm experimenting with making them less daunting and easier to handle... we'll see how things go when I get round to doing some colouring... I actually varied the line work simply so I had some good, strong lines to work with - me and photoshop kind of have a love / hate relationship (love painting, hate lineart!)

I know exactly what you mean--I'm still attempting to do backgrounds, but mostly sticking to non complex designs. In this piece, I prefer the geometrics to a detailed scene! I think PS is just a love/hate thing period. Very fussy, but can be very sweet. =]
