Description I was trying out a new drawing/sketching/painting style, and I'm not sure I succeeded. D:

But that's probably down to an inability to draw very well, than anything else. OTL

Program: GIMP
Art (c)

Giottooooo <3 I like this style :3 also, you draw in gimp? o-o I fail using that program, it kinda slow downs all my tablet movements.. :'c

Giotto = xD

Thank you. I quite like this style too, although it needs refining. Learnt it after analysing a piece that I saw uses a similar style.
That's a bit odd. Maybe it's your settings? Or perhaps your canvas is too big? I tend to find that GIMP hates me if I have a huge canvas with a zillion layers. OTL Although that doesn't impair my tablet movements... You're not using GIMP 2.7, are you?

I guess it's the settings, it's normally not like that, I use an older version, because last time I used was in 2011 I guess... Haven't updated it. xD

If you've got version 2.6, then I recommend sticking with that until 2.8 comes out. 2.7 is too unstable. What do you use to draw now? Program, I mean.

I wish I had SAI. Looks so much fun to use! But I'm quite happy with GIMP though. xD

Khaothicc In reply to Pixie-Lips [2012-04-17 18:28:10 +0000 UTC]

I got many.. ;u; I think it'd be Gokudera, Basil, Dino and Giotto. ;U; I havn't seen Emna or the other people yet.. I'm like at ep. 160. :c What bout you?

Pixie-Lips In reply to Khaothicc [2012-04-17 18:39:55 +0000 UTC]

I think many people have many favourites. xD I absolutely adore Fon, Hibari, Alaude (love their character designs, but Fon is my favourite - he's so nice and cute! *o*), Dino and Giotto. Quite like Byakuran too; he's such a playful little thing. And Bel and Flan are my favourite Varia members, although I also like Squalo. o/

And, you know, I simply adore the way Gokudera says "tenth" - it cracks me up! My favourite time that he said it was when they were teaching Tsuna how to swim, and he was getting all technical haha But it's a shame that the official subs translate it as "boss" >3< Just doesn't come across quite so personal.

Oh, and I'm up-to-date with both the anime and manga. I've seen the anime so many times that I've lost count. D: Still amuses me though. xD Wow, I sound way too obsessed hahaha

OMG I FORGOT FON! He's so cute too! ;UUUUUUUU;;;
Also don't worry, I sound obsessed too~ xD
And yeah, I've seen Flan a few times, he's kinda cute with his frog-hat. ;U;

Pixie-Lips In reply to Khaothicc [2012-04-17 18:58:27 +0000 UTC]

Heh, you should see him in his adult form. *q* It's like a complete 180 in some respects, but he still retains his adorableness. If only we saw more of him. T^T
I love meeting fellow KHR enthusiasts! It's my favourite fandom! o/
I love his monotone and sarcastic responses. xD Makes for a great comedy duo with Bel.

Khaothicc In reply to Pixie-Lips [2012-04-18 05:01:46 +0000 UTC]

Yah, I only saw him adult a few times.. He really looks like Hibari, he just smiles way more, and got a sexy nice voice. ;U;
Lawl, I like meeting other KHR fans aswell, though I don't talk much with them, actually you're the first person I get to talk to like fo' real. xDD
Also yus, you're right about Fran.. I love Bel get angry. ;3;

Pixie-Lips In reply to Khaothicc [2012-04-18 22:33:19 +0000 UTC]

Could not have put it better myself. I'm so tempted to do another Fon fan art now... As a teacher. *o*
Really? Aw, I feel so honoured! Although I know what you mean with other KHR fans; apart from you, I speak with only two other KHR fans on a regular basis. But the people are so much nicer here than in some other fandoms - I can barely stand the Bleach fandom. D:
I don't even think Bel gets that angry. Think he just likes to stab Flan. Sadist! The whole of Varia are hilarious though. xD

Oyus, I did alot a drawing of Fon irl, I'm thinking about drawing it digitally, when I'm done with my Fran drawing. I thought like ''Wat, poor Fran! D8'' when I saw Bel throw his knives at his hat and back.. xDDD I like how Fran's voice is all un-emotional-ish, it's fun to listen to. ;u;

Pixie-Lips In reply to Khaothicc [2012-04-19 09:38:25 +0000 UTC]

*o* *Wants to see* Chibi or non-chibi? Aw, is that for Fran's apparent birthday? (I remember reading somewhere that his birthday was coming up... No idea when though. )
Pfft! I didn't pity Flan at all when that happened! I just found it rather amusing that Bel would throw his knives at him. D: Mmmh, his monotone voice is priceless! xD Don't think I could ever imagine him saying anything with emotion; it would be beyond weird.

Non-chibi, though, WHEN IS HIS BIRTHDAY!? D8 I didn't know.. :c

Pixie-Lips In reply to Khaothicc [2012-04-19 23:41:36 +0000 UTC]

Ooh! Sounds interesting!! xD I have absolutely no idea. The only ones I know are Tsuna's (14th October), Reborn's (13th October... I think), Mukuro (6th September), Chrome (9th June) and Hibari (5th May). And I could be slightly wrong about those too. D:

Yeah, I Googles some birthdays and stuff, but I couldn't get Flan's/Fran's. ;_;; I'm not even sure if his name is Flan or Fran. xDD

I'm not surprised since his profile is "Top Secret." D: And both are correct because Japanese people can't pronounce r's, I think, so they pronounce it with an l.

Correct! o/ Although you'll occasionally come across a fan that tells you that you're wrong if you don't spell it their way. orz Fan girls are scary.

I haven't seen anything 'bad' yet here on dA, but I see it can get really weird-ish on here when people argue. o-o

Pixie-Lips In reply to Khaothicc [2012-04-23 19:15:29 +0000 UTC]

Me either. It's mostly forums, youtube etc that that sort of things happens. Can't say I've ever come across any arguing here on dA. The closest I've got to that is someone taking their frustration out on me.

Aaaaaaa. :c Nothing really happened for me on here, I just submit art, get faves and a few comments etc. xD Though, I'm mostly on a website called Whirled, I do avatars and stuff on there too.

Pixie-Lips In reply to Khaothicc [2012-04-27 17:33:04 +0000 UTC]

Never heard of Whirled before. Take it it's an art site, yea? And you're more lucky that I am; it's somewhat rare for people to comment on my work. Not that I mind too much.

Khaothicc In reply to Pixie-Lips [2012-04-28 08:14:21 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeh, Whirled's like an interactive site, you can do much stuff, but it honestly gets shitty for every year. :c Also yeah, people rarely comment on art, I just feel like a . xDDD

Sorry for the late reply - I had coursework to do.

Ah, good point. That's why I still have Facebook, even though I despise it. >3<

That'll change. Your art is really good!! When I have more time, I'll comment on your works.

I used to post drawings on FB, but then I stopped. Just never felt that comfortable sharing my work there. D: Instead, I use dA, Pixiv, and now Tumblr to post my work. Oh and Twitter too. xD

Thank you! Hope they're useful! o/

Pixie-Lips In reply to Khaothicc [2012-05-07 22:02:55 +0000 UTC]

I was like that in the beginning too. But Pixiv does get easier with use, but there is the language barrier that stumps me an awful lot. T^T And Tumblr gets a little easier too, although I mainly use it for searching for art haha

Khaothicc In reply to Pixie-Lips [2012-05-08 06:26:48 +0000 UTC]

Ah. o: I had to get some textures from there, and I was all like but I finally figured out. xDD I had a Tumblr too, though I left it since I can't do shit on there. ~

Pixie-Lips In reply to Khaothicc [2012-05-09 16:49:14 +0000 UTC]

Haha Poor you! I didn't even know that people put textures on Pixiv! Then again, it's not like I really use them in my work... D: Mmmh, I can relate to that. Find it really frustrating that I can't figure out how to put button links to my dA and Pixiv accounts.

Khaothicc In reply to Pixie-Lips [2012-05-09 17:41:37 +0000 UTC]

I used a few textures, now I don't really use them that much, since they lag SAI when I put them it and re-scale.. D:

Sounds like the resolution is too high for the program to handle. Why not try making your own?
