Description
Whew. When I sum up the time I spent painting this, it is somewhere around 15 hours. And working with a mouse, those 15 hours were horrible. I have just finished it today with seven hours of continuos mousing - my arm aches, my neck is positively bent, but when I look at this Sesshoumaru, I am really happy about the outcome and forget everything about my arm or other parts of my body
.I originally intended it to be a poster near my bed, but because I do not have a printer, I have only a much incomplete version of this image as my good-night and good-morning Fluffy-dono. I will have to wait a couple of weeks until I can visit my sister again and print it as it is now!

Well, the picture was the first one I did digitally and it has got so many mistakes... well I was spending quite a lot of time on pictures even when I was only starting so that is not anything special.

I see. But I can't see any mistakes! (Or maybe my eyes are just too inferior...

Well, when you look at the full view, you can see that the lines are jagged, their thickness varies and things like that.

Thanks, I am glad you like my mouse pictures. 
Here are the tablet pictures: [link] [link] [link] [link]
I am using it in a very different way from other tablet "artists".

Well, I do not have a tablet so I painted it with mouse under 550-800% magnification. That was no fun - and it was my first digital art, so I could not paint with mouse very well at that time, if you look at the full view, you will see that most of the lines in hair are a bit jagged.

No tablet? I'm even more impressed! I know what its like to be tablet-less... *weeps over having to use mouse* Still a great job you did!

Painting with a mouse is such a hard work! I used a mouse earlier too, but now I've got a graphic tablet! It's soooo much better, I love it! ^^
Which program did you use to paint it?
I use Photoshop and I can't live without layers...I discovered the layer technique recently, it's much easier to me!
Anyway, your picture came out sooo good, so you just can't tell it was painted with a mouse!

It looks good because it took such a long time to finish 
I am using the GIMP , since it is free (as in free speech) and can be run on various operating systems. That is a good thing, since I am running Gentoo Linux and Photoshop is not available for it. But when I am doing some graphics work at school, I am using Corel PhotoPaint rather than Photoshop, I think it is neater. I especially love the choice of media like crayons, charcoal, brush, highlighter etc. there

Well yes, most of the time working under 800% magnification.... no fun. I even tend to forget about how the picture looks like as a whole while working on it. But it is a pleasant surprise when it is finished at least

Did you really paint this? It looks so cool! You did a great job!

I am glad you like the picture. I do not have a tablet, so that means hours and hours of painting with a mouse under 550 - 800% magnification. No fun, though the result is worth it. Therefore I usually do drawing and colouring with pencils and do not bother myself with digital art.

Traditional is much more fun, and it looks awesome too, but the scanner usually ruins it...

The only problem I have with my scanner is that it does not interpret very light colours too well, like the picture of Gaav-sama - it looks like his skin is white, but it really is not. Other than that I guess that my scans look quite good. But it really depends on the quality of the scanner - my cousin has a horrible one which I find completely unusable. But the scanner I am using is at my sister's place, some 300km away, that is why I put up a photographed picture from time to time. But today I am going to try out the scanner we have got in school, I hope it works well.

You have scanner at school? Ah, some good schools... ^^ Taking a photo of a picture is the best after the scanner I think ^^

Photographying the picture can still look reasonably good, but I have found out that only when you put the picture in full sun. Otherwise the colours just are not right. But it is horrible for pencil sketches which must be post-processed in a computer quite heavily just to actually see the drawing.

Yeah, you're right. That's why I say: TRUE (
