Quote by DarthTofuFirstly, do you have
a tablet, and secondly, what kind of style are you going for?
anyways, has a tutorial section for painting style cg in
photoshop. =]
Hey thanks for the help! I think this would answer my problem
Quote by moonescapelol! I saw kirby!
Reminds me to buy the Super Smash Brawl from Wii.
Reminding you! lol, I almost forgot too! xD IT'S FINALLY
OUT AND IT'S COMPLETELY INSANE YOU MUST BUY IT!
lol, I recall this was quite a long time ago I gave ya that comment. xD Yeah it
did came out and I got to try it out from those eletronic stores that had it.
There was quite a line to play for it. xD Too bad it wasn't as much as I
expected since I really wanted better. But ya know I'm still a fan of Super
Smash so I'll definitely be buying it when I ever get a Wii. ;_; Wish they
didn't delay the release of the game by 1 month since it was originally was
suppose to come in the beginning week of February.
Quote by DarthTofuPerhaps not everyone
likes refinement?
You're right, though, there are many fine details that could be added... but
y'know when you're too tired to look at stuff anymore, your eyes are burning,
and your hand is about to fall off from hours of trying to paint on a laptop...
I'm just complaining, though, and whining is no excuse. Nonetheless, I was focusing on atmosphere and lighting much
more than detail. (and usually do, but to each their own. )
Thank you for your comment, much appreciated.
I understand that feeling. It's just that the more time you would pour it in the
better it would look, imo. :p
Quote by DarthTofuThe grass looks
great. xD
Though the mountains are kinda weird where they meet the water (?) it's really
flat. (unless it's just the perspective?) They're also rather uniformly shaped,
though it does look a lot better than First Snow, lots of improvement!
The grass is a bit too realistic for the style of the picture, though it looks
very beautiful.
Love the calm, cheerful openness, very liberating. Great
stuff!
Thanks I'm glad to get your opinion ^^
You know I'm never quite sure what to do when I have scenery with water. Where
the water meets the mountains, I can make it less flat but then it looks to
wavy, as if the water was moving a lot. So I just smudge and paint it a little
so that doesn't happen, but then it looks too flat. You're the painting master,
do you have any suggestions? I can't seem to find the middle ground.
Anyways thanks so much for your comment, I'm glad you think it generally turned
out well

Quote by DarthTofuI'm not a master.
You have a tablet, right? I think... freehand draw a straight line with the size
controlled by pressure. Also, where mountains meet water there are small waves,
so maybe with a 1 pixel brush make tiny itty bitty waves?
But I'm not sure it's the water really, but the mountains.
Another thing I've noticed is that the shape of the mountains are gently sloping
and end up straight in the water, but really only cliffs do that. Mountains
usually have some smaller rubble near the edges, trees, something instead of dropping straight to the water.
To me you are
Yes, I have a tablet, but I'm not that great as using it yet.
Oh, that's true, mountains don't just disappear into water...I should really do
my homework before I do scenic walls This is
great advice though; since I can't seem to stop doing scenic walls, hopefully
next time I can do much better
Oh, this painting by your friend is a great example! Thanks for showing me that
^^ (And it's too adorable too ).
Thanks so much for your advice! It was really helpful ^^
lol, outside of Zelda? It does happen. Just rarely. :p
But yeah, Artrage emulates traditional media, and therefore has no opacity or
flow controls. (just oil, pencil, marker, stuff like that) It also doesn't have
layers. :p But I like the texture it makes so I can deal with the lack of
everything I've come to depend on. (It does have 100 undo thingies though, which
is awesome!)
Though the idea isn't that special, it's basically just the ending of the game
almost exactly.
oh really? ah, yeah so
rare that i dont remember
well actually its more um.... fair when we cant control the flow/opacity
functions
have u ever tried to paint on real canvas with oil?
lol

Yeah, I have Blame! and Shadow of the Colossus fanart too! (and some rurouni
kenshin that aren't very good so I don't submit them. lol)
I never actually used oil paint, but I have painted with acryllics and
wattercolor. Not very good with either, admittedly. :p I've always been a
digital painter since I started getting into art. (around 12 years old
ish)
lol still its not a lot
oh well to me its the opposite: painting digitally is way harder for me,
i hate watercolour, but i adore the pencils,
im like a pro at that
well oil painting is fun i
tried it a few times and i had fun, even though its not as fast as
pencils/crayons
and sorry for not replyin ur pm, im quite busy
but ill do it asap
Quote by DarthTofuColors are awesome!
Awesome! AWESOME!
YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE AWESOME! WAIT HAWESOME, YOU'RE SO AWESOME THAT A NEWER
VERSION OF THE WORD HAS TO BE CREATED TO SUIT THE AWESOME-NESS OF YOUR
HAWESOME-NESS.
Quote by DarthTofuAwesome stuff here,
Abul! Very pretty, great job on the shading. ^_^
I love the rose petals, they're very soft looking. ^_^
though... I think it's a little weird that only the rose in her hand has
outlines, but it's no biggie.
hi tofu!
was glad to hear from you u
seem so inactive lately
lol i thought of adding an outline for the petals but that was even worse
Quote by DarthTofu
ah, a rainbow userpage would be nice, but it doesn't seem userpages are working
recently?
at least, maybe... at least mine and abul's aren't... haven't checked everyone's
yet.
Really? You mean the skinbuilder or the custom content?
Your userpage looks fine to me... [i][/i]

kawaii is simply awesome. =] She recently got something hilighted. =]
anyways, thanks for the comment and fav!
I do a lot of oekaki these days, but they're all too small to submit... sad
'cause I do my best work at small scales...
I think I have that piece you're talking about
favorited -checks- Wait no I don't but I will now 8d.
No trouble at all,the more attention you get the
better it helps with motivating you to improve your skills and keeping up with
your art ^-^.
I just realized you were a girl,no idea before I saw
the art xD.
Ah that's a shame,but you ought to be able to make
unique wallpapers by populating them with your oekaki drawings.Just think
outside the box and come up with something :3.
