I have to win. *mutters to self*
Video flood time:
I’ll succeed in making a proper-looking poster one day.
I guess i’ll stick with this title even though a lot of people thought it was unoriginal/cheezy. but so is Blackbird, so they match! I’m trying to paint by basecolour refinement instead of lineart->fill colour->shade in. a lot of people do it this way and it reduces a lot of lighting problems so I thought it’d be helpful to try to learn this…
The glowing white blobs are angels; the yellow crap is fire; the place is a church. The lil person is Eqin.

OMG I got more RAM :D now I have 1G (hardcore gamers shut your booing :P). Zooming in Photoshop used to require effort… especially if I alt tab away from it for a while because it always has to reload info back onto RAM. Now that lag is goooonne *confetti*
So much hmwk. but I didn’t start them; drawing… Need to submit something to DA… it’s been a while. The last pic I drew was of a sensitive subject and I couldn’t submit it (without the risk of being flamed, hated and looked down upon). I was happy with that pic though; maybe I’ll upload it to the site anyway with heavy hiding precautions. |

a work in progress that is no longer a work in progress.
I suddenly have so much readings this semester. I really need e-books read to me because I go through books slow as a snail, and they put me to sleep even if I am interested in it. Did I mention I don’t like reading? ): on top of that, Slayers Try finished downloading and I am going through that, so I haven’t been drawing much lately (except for the picture above, which is started and completely during various lectures.) The cg I am colouring… cannot be shown. I was originally planning to submit it to DA anyway despite its content, but after second considerations I decided against it for my personal safety/reputation.
In short. I don’t have anything to show :l
Slayers is great though. Although I like Next a bit more tha Try, because Try is very romance-oriented (in a way) and goes even slower at times than Next. And there’s no Phibrizzo in Try ): although there are lots of pretty faces of the sinister minister Xelloss, so I am relatively happy. The only thing I am unhappy about is as I watch more of slayers and as they explain their world/crisis, it looks like I copied their idea more and more. Although Slayers IS my favourite anime, I only managed to watch a few (under 10) scattered episodes in China because of inconvenient air time, and thus I didn’t have a clue about their world story. Tedious; but oh well. I hope no one will accuse me.
I’m colouring the last showable commission for a bit… Ilana’s professor in iro Chaos, the same person who commissioned the crusader pic I did a while ago as well as the assassin cross I just finished. I can’t believe I JUST found out that both her and Whacko Jacko are in Aureus… Remi messaged me yesterday and I found out. We chatted for a bit and I missed RO again >> Aureus rulz0rz!
I think right now it looks kinda scary though, cus it has so much exposed skin, and I STILL don’t know how to colour skin or muscles. I need to study some basic anatomy for my own good… the way I do hair and skin doesn’t match the way I do clothes at all.
On other news, I found the perfect solution to my drawing boredom. I drew so much that drawing has become something like knitting for girls; I get super bored when I am cging a picture, because I have nothing to think about and it annoys me so much. One day I told a friend that I wish there’s something that would read me stuff while drawing so I can be more productive. The radio reads me things of very little importance and has too much ads. Then yesterday I finally decided and downloaded a text-to-speech program, and found composer biographies for it to read. It worked like magic! It was so cool that I can do 2 things at once, and most of all, I can finally justify myself spending hours drawing, cus I’m learning at the same time ;) (not really) I wish I can find documents of books online though, then I can finish reading that Harry Potter book that I should give back to my friend before the holiday ends… and many other books that I did not have a chance to read because I am too lazy.
3 weeks of xmas break ends in 4 days. boohoo. Perhaps my opinion differs from that of my parents, but it was a great one. I drew a lot huahuahuahauhauua :D
