Someone sent me a note on DA privately concerning my very bland and uninteresting “pastel” colour palette. It is something that I can’t overcome; a lot of times I cheat when I finish a piece, and increase contrast/use layer modes to alter the overall image. I’ve tried to not rely on those methods and learn to be daring with my colour choices, but somehow it never really worked due to my lack of a keenness about art. I’ve tried harder on this piece, and so far I think it is eye-piercing enough to be an improvement. No contrast/overlay things involved! Aside from the sharp lights though, the colours are still pretty dull lol;;
3 weeks left before I must finish pieces I want to sell at AN; I actually had a nightmare that it was like 2 hours before AX, and I was like HOSHITIHAVENOTHINGTOSELL IHAVETODRAWSOMETHINGRITENAO. The fact that I only panicked 2 hours before the con is KIND OF SCARY, and I worked hard to get started the next day loooool. It looks like I’ll have to resell a lot of last year’s stuff this year because I have nothing )=
RO had a 2x exp week (possibly in compensation to the retarded server problems recently, however fun it was to watch half of pront get disconnected) so I finally 99ed, and rebirthed with my friend. He’s a high wizard now and I’ve just started working on my high aco, but thanks to his mind-blowing connections, I was somehow slaved in sphinx and leveled on Anubis. Though it was only for an hour, I am already job 43. I feel so indebted to these people because I’ve never helped them before, some of them are only here to visit because of the free 15 day returning players thing, and they did that for me. I don’t know how I can repay them (draw something for them? lol don’t even know if they’d care enough), I guess I’ll just pass on the generosity to others in their honour.
Only 1 ss though, my 99 SS. And after all those nice little angels I posted before, you’d think I would’ve done a better job with my level 99 one, but nope :(!!

I guess, but I suppose people’s concerns are how limited a dull colour palette can be on the mood and dynamicness of the picture…

Congratulations on getting 99 and you know. Using light pastel colours is a nice change, especially since most anime art using really bright colours(guilty as charged) or the artist uses the burn and dodge tool to death.

Woa… grats on the rebirth! O_O
I’ve always liked the palette that you’ve been using, but this looks great so far with the more saturated colors! I’ve always found it difficult to be more daring with color choices too… :(
