Description
I love Photoshop effects. ^_^ And I know his hand looks weird. I'll fix it when I have time.I probably should have used the new Prismacolor pencils that I got for Christmas, but Photoshop is a lot easier, and I don't want to waste the pencils since they were so expensive.
And no, this isn't a rip-off of SSE. I wanted a pose where you could see his face, and have him holding the necklace so that you could see it too.
Also, my friend created that necklace a few years ago, and it has nothing to do with summoning song monsters.

It's definitive, your art is totally worth watching
How do you color stuff on photoshop though? And how were you able to color it so well too? >_<"

It's actually not that hard. I'll have to make a tutorial for it next time.

It's not that hard, but for now I can't do it, and I've been trying for a month >.>"
A tutorial would be great

All right. I have no clue when I can get one though.... I'm kinda a procrastinator. >_>

But I do like to make everyone happy, and hate to say no.

Yes, but no one has given you any time limit, therefore you don't need to rush
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I usually give myself a time limit, because I procrastinate a lot.

Ah. Procrastination is a terrible foe to defeat >_>" You've got a point there.

Cool picture!
The small hair lock that's over his left eye (/his/ left) appears to be covered by the eyeshine. Might want to fix that...
I KNOW!! I broke down and bought a soft peach prismacolor pencil, but that was just because I didn't want to bother with getting a whole box just to have soft peach... because they don't sell "cheap" brand colored pencils individually. *huff*

I got a really really good deal for my set of prismacolors. It was the set of 72 that is normally $130, but I got it on black friday for $60, plus there was a $10 rebate for it as well.
So I ended up with twice as many pencils as a smaller box, but for about the same price.
The problem is that most of the colors in the box aren't sold individually in most of the stores that we have around here, so once I use them up then I'll be in trouble....

That /is/ a good deal. Still pretty expesive, though...
How would you rate the prismacolor brand? I haven't had much personal experience with them.

I like their softness, and how they blend. I'm just now getting used to using them though since I usually use cheaper brands to save money.

Cool.

I think that I would use normal pencils for skies and things... Prismacolors are too soft for that and you would probably end up using too much of the pencil.

Oh. I hate filling in skyscapes with colored pencil. It takes forever and most of the time it doesn't even look right. I thought that maybe prismacolor pencils would work better because after you're done filling in the sky you could go over it with your finger or a blending stub and get it nice and smooth-looking. But you're probably right about the using-too-much-pencil-cause-of-the-softness.
Maybe I should start using colored chalk for skyscapes or soemthing...

You need to get some woodless colored pencils then. 
Or if it doesn't matter what medias you use, you should get some blue watercolor pencils and scribble the sky, and then go over it with a damp cloth smudging it, and it makes a nice solid blue color without soaking the paper.

That would be neat to try out!
I do like to use watercolor... It's my second-favorite paint medium (favorite is acryllic). But it wouldn't work if I've inked a character/creature/whatever into the picture first (which is what I usually do so that I can get rid of pesky stray pencil lines). I'm afraid that using something like watercolor would mess up the ink job...

That's why you use waterproof ink
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm... I thought I had some once, but it still bled/got smeared a little bit when I got it wet-ish... Maybe I got it too wet, or wetted it too often or something...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, you need to make sure it's completely dry before you get it wet. Maybe wait like 30 minutes.
And the really good brands like Pigma Microns and Faber-Castell don't bleed I don't think.

I thought I had waited long enough for it to dry. Maybe I didn't. Or maybe the brand I got just wasn't very good. (it said repetedly that they were waterproof, though...)

Thank you! ^_^
I think that I'll change it soon so that he has some armor on though.
