I'd have uploaded this sooner, but we've had some power issues due to the lol!tornadoes currently circling around D.C. -.- pretty, yet irritating
( Read more... )
Daughter and I both think you have mad Copic skillz! That is gorgeous . . . the fire effects are so very cool. Daughter has asked I print this out so she can study it. She is very interested in what colors you have used for the flesh, if you wouldn't mind sharing that information.
My favorite figure now is Nekkid Sammy in the middle . . . something about the way you colored his hair and lighting you've done on him is just riveting.
*stands and applauds* I will be anxiously waiting to see more of your beautiful art!
hahaha thankyou! :D i'm so glad you like ^_^ i've been working with copics for a couple years now and thankfully that entitles me to learning and knowing a few good tricks :3
i can go through the colors i used for the skintones here, but there's a lot, lol. i have a tendency to blend a great deal of colors for my desired effect, even if it doesn't look it. (which includes shades of warm grey and purples.)
if you'd like, i could email you with the particular skin pallete i used for this along with anything else she'd like to know. i have some more pics she could look at as well too including a play by play i did once that you can actually kinda see here (its small, i know, but i'm bound to the rules of photobucket. i do have a bigger version if she'd like it) but if you would not like to share the email, no worries! i have no problem posting the info and links here ^^ just let me know. always glad to help out another copic fan ;)
Ooooooooooooh, the step-by-step is so cool to see! You do beautiful work. And you make it look like so much fun that my own fingers are itching to start playing with Copics now!
That would be so wonderful if you'd be kind enough to e-mail the bigger step-by-step and skin pallette. (I had the feeling it was going to be a BUNCH of different colors and in the end the information is going to end up costing me money. Hee!)
No problem sharing my e-mail (band_wench@yahoo dot com) and please know that I am very grateful for your generous offer to help. She is such a good kid and is so enamored of your skill and willingness to share with her. (She's met some not-nearly-so-nice people on DA, so it is really heart-warming that you are showing her that there are kind, talented people willing to help others
( ... )
again, you are most welcome! i'll pull together the list of skintone colors once i get home from work tonight and send you the files ^^ just ooc, which of the figures in the picture was she the most interested in knowing? There are actually three different combinations of colors. (Sam in the middle, the young boys in the firelight, and then the boys in each of the three remaining frames)
*sigh* unfortunately, i can tell you from experience that DA is NOT the place to go for any willing or polite tutelage. aside from the few and far between that offer tutorials and anything else she can look at visually, i doubt she'll hear much in the way of useful response :( I have a gallery on DA as well, but mainly to keep in contact with other artists i know and occasionally upload fanart.
may i never be so full of myself or my art to turn my nose up at another artist for wanting to learn. (/soapbox

Oh man. Your art is fantastic on a general rule, but then the colorizations?
*loves*
Yay for another nearby D.C. resident who's feeling the pain of the weather! *kicks it* This tornado/severe thunderstorm stuff has to QUIT already. Grr.
guh, wasn't that annoying? i hear a tornado or two touched down around seven corners/falls church area. ick. the power is out all around me, but we got lucky since we live, like, right next to a hospital. still, a lot of the traffic lights are out and things have been chaotic with traffic XP lame. i think we're supposed to be getting more storms too. this would all be great if not for the fact that most city folk here PANIC at the sight of rain. (/rant)
