Description in the year 1939

Oh looky what I did. Again. Okay well as much as idk about this pic, I've made some accomplishments with it. Biggest being this is the first time I've drawn Clarke with color, ever. He's so so so hard to draw and I dunno why ;A;

Secondly, this is the first time all four of the main characters have been in a pic together. Yaaay. Um yes, Hetalia-style again, also again, NOT Hetalia. Original story (titleless thusfar) by ~AnnieMcgee and I.

So this is everybody at the very beginning of the story, basic outfits 'n all that, beginning of the story being spring 1939. So far this little tale spans to 1942 so there's changes ahead and I'd be happy to draw it all, if and when I can. Mmm I'm not sure what else I should tell you, I explained a lot in the last pic I drew of this story. Again, I just wanna say, I hope we get this out for the public soon but I have a feeling it won't be soon unfortunately. I'll keep trying to draw it in the meantime ;u;

Fred, Eva, Clarke, & Nicky (c)

Nicky is the best ever. and you love him.

HAHA man you know what's so weird is, I feel like when I look at this, it's like... I'm seeing more than everybody else sees, because I know ~THE SECRETS~ and everything, you know? Again it is just so cool I'm privy to that stuff, hahaha! <3<3
I have to second people about the style, it may be based off aph-dude's but you do something to it that makes it distinctly yours The hair especially catches my eye, it looks ~metallic~ somehow and that is the best. Love that they're all sort of outlined and titled according to their eye colours? X) And you've drawn Nicky like the most adorable ghfffffbut they are all adorable and great.
AGH TOO MUCH FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT but since I'm here, the other picture of Fredrich and Eva is also fantastic!! The change of clothes just gives a totally different vibe. Probably missing a million things but I'M BEHIND ENOUGH ALREADY. WHOOOOOO.

Feel that way with the exception of two other people -shot-

But thank you, I have to admit, if there's anything I closely follow to with hetalia-dude's style, it's coloing the hair. . . I can understand if it's different though, that guy's a genius and his exact coloring technique can't possibly be followed exactly lD

And wow, I'm surprised you noticed the eye color-outline connection, but yes, that's what I did. . . Nicky's always the cutest, no matter who or how it's drawn, it's kind of a given. =w=

Thanks for your long comment desuuu. A different vibe is also understandable because they're a little older in the beach pic. I'd love to be able to finish the 1942 pic because I like everyone's looks more when they're a little older =w=;

I doubt it's 'poo', it's probably very good. So yes, do show me everything you have.

But anyways, thanks, your opinion on these types of art matter more than anyone's, my dearest co-writer. And I'm glad I could make your wishes come true, I live for that, and all that jazz. It's important this stuff looks good, since half of em are your characters.

Nicky's the best gurl.

This is so pretty!
I have no idea how you manage to make something so simple so classy and stylish, the lines flow very well. (May I ask how you make the lineart like that? ;v; It looks kinda pencil-ish.)

spiffychicken In reply to kaneeli [2010-08-29 06:11:49 +0000 UTC]

Wow, thanks! owo <333

For the lineart, I just use the default brush on photoshop set on one pixel and I lower the opacity to about 70% and the flow to about 75% and then I just go over some lines to make the thickness. It's actually probably a very bad technique but I can't think of any other way XD Oh and I also add some sharpness and changing of brightness and contrast, and that may affect it a little bit too. . .

Haha don't worry, I know what you mean! I agree, well, the style I was trying to imitate here, that style uses the most amazing colors, like things you wouldn't think you could get away with and yet, beautiful <3 I'm afraid to try the same skin colors because they seem too extreme on my art somehow XD

Ahhh but anyways, thank you <333
