Description
So I finished coloring in! I couldn't take it anymore I wanted to post something! I have been working on coloring both of the drawings but I have become a bit busy here at work! finally things slowed down today and I was able to spend a lot of time finishing this. There are still a few things that I think need more work but I was ready to post something! So this is my good friend animemangacrazy! He has been a great friend and supporter here on DA. This character is a represent of himself! -^_^- I hope you like how it came out! If you like you can visit his page here [link] . I also found a great new tool! The smudge tool! -^_^- that was how I was able to smooth stuff out more! I hope you all enjoy!Related content

oh ty! -^_^- I am so glad that you like it. It took me a nice long while between doing stuff here at work. I am glad that you like the tribal wing design! I have been in a bit of a niche with those lately.

ty! -^_^- It took forever for me to choose a color for them and a background color. I just decided that it need to be very blue! -^_^- I am so glad that you like it.

Lol, I know how that feels! I hate creating color schemes at times. >w>
But indeed, it turned out wonderfully.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ty! Yes I hate it to. I usually try to go with either similar hue or very contrasting colors.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
At least you know color theory. I suck at it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I had an awesome teacher... at least I didn't know she was awesome until I got out of the class. X.x it was torture while I was in it. If you want to get better you should read a Joseph Albers book. He mastered colors and has some really cool exercises that help you understand more about color. There was a really neat exercise where you actually made the same color look like it was two different colors by placing it on top of different colors and another exercise where you make two different colors (say like two different greyed down purples) and placed them on top of colors until they looked like the same color. It was hard but I have a much better understanding of color now.

...As soon as I get some money. XD

I am sorry! If I still had the book I would just mail it to you. It was a great book. I can't believe how much color can contribute to a piece.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No worries. And yes, I feel you there. Oh well. Guess I'll just have to learn the hard way~
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Well I'm impressed.
The smudge tool is great, isn't it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes! I had everything on different layers at first and did all the shading then I combined them all and tried using it to blend in some of the line work. It works so great! -^_^- Me being a painter to it makes a lot more sense to me to use it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah looks fantastic! I know what you mean, it does feel more like really painting or charcoal.^^
I have a charcoal tool I use to just adore that was sort of like that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. When I had access to painter and adobe I would use the charcoal and paint tools all the time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They are useful, that's for sure.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes and so is the blend as well as the little trick in photoshop that will let you select only your line work X.x that was a nice little trick instead of having to go back and redraw your line on the computer.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That would be so useful. X.X
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes! It would which is why I miss photoshop so much. I am saving up all my money so that I can purchase a nice mac and put on the adobe suite so that I can do all kinds of graphic design, web site, and just plan fun manga stuff.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sounds great to me! So much you can do with that program, defiantly worth your money I think. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes one of my friends tried to talk me out of it but I had to just shake my head. "You have no idea how much time this will save me and in just two years of free lance work I could make my money back in full with just how much time I save.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah it's hard because I was trying to explain how adobe (according all graphic designers as well as some of my personal experiences) Just works better on Macs. The updates don't cause it to mess up or have to hesitate with things. It is strange and I really do think that it is a qimick to make you want to buy a MAC but I am willing to spend the money for something that will help me out a lot in the long run lol sorry ranting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
O know, that's alright :3
Really, you think so? I didn't know that Adobe worked better on Macs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I spoke with my boss's wife who is a professional graphic designer. She said that she tried to use the adobe suite on a hp at first but it seemed like the updates she received for the program caused it to go much slower and complicated things but when she used a mac for some odd reason the updates didn't do anything and she had no problems with it. (although she can afford to go out and buy a brand new MAC and the Adobe suite program every year so she basically uses the mac for one year then goes and gets a new one.) X.x

Interesting it would do that.

Yeah I just think it is one big conspiracy to make apple more money X.x
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry I am one who believes that all of those big corporations are only out to get as much as they can out of a cheaply made product. They no longer hold honor or respect and caring for their customers which is sad.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
O I one hundred percent absolutly agree! I've heard from people working in Apple that they specifically glitch everyones older phones just so they will buy new ones. X(
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ugh x.x I have been debating on buying a smartphone. I have had the same slider for almost three years now. ToT I love my slider though! I just can't seem to give it up and also have a $100.00 phone bill to pay as well. I am hoping that if I wait it out I can get some better deals come Christmas time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yea that's not a bad idea ^^.
Just be aware that iphones and stuff like that are what they glitch, I have experienced that. X.X
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I know which is why I was leaning a little bit more towards a droid X.x oh goodness I don't know. I hate having to make decisions like this because then I am stuck with it for two full years if something goes wrong.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Right, I understand that. X.X
Well I have a friend who has a droid and says it's really good, about equal to an iphone but not as many qlitchy things.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah well I have a droid through work and I like it. There are a few things like how bulky the one I have is but I am not too into the touch screens though. Especially for typing x.x my fingers just can't seem to do it right.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah the touch screen. Yea I actually really like those but it can take awhile to get completely used to it. It speeds up texting if you get used to it though, by a lot. :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh wow really? hmm... now I will have to reconsider this. I am waiting to see if I sell something at the gallery show. If I sell something then I will have the money to invest into the smart phone that I will need to run square so I can run people's credit cards that buy my work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, they do.:3
To run square?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes it is a program that lets you run people's credit cards. You don't pay any fees until you run the card. It is very convenient for whenever I am dropping off a piece of artwork and they want to pay me when I am doing that. I had no way to take their payment unless it was by check.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
O I see, sounds very helpful.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes especially after you just drove to someone home to hang artwork for them and then you have to get out the old runner X.x the carbon paper credit card machine things.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Right yea I that would be a pain. X0
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is plus you look really silly pulling out those agent carbon paper card slider things X.x
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then people laugh at me hysterically when I stick my tongue out and put all my might into running it! lol or else you don't get a good carbon copy. I have bloodied my knuckles doing that before X.x slammed them into some hard wood at my mom and dads shop lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha sounds funny if embarrassing. The first part not the second, that must have hurt X.X
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah it's kind of like when you are with friend sin public and end up falling down. Everyone is laughing and you are horribly embarrassed.
