All entries due IN COMMENTS, BTW, since even I didn't know this, by Sunday, Sept. 9th. Well, I suppose "due" is a loose term, because you can always post entries ( Read more... )

All right, I'll bite. http://kimouski.livejournal.com/48385.html#cutid1

There may or may not be a colored version in the works.

ps. I thought I saw that I could link to my LJ in the comments. If I read this incorrectly, I'll post it directly here. Also, you forgot to put up reference links in the original post.

Re: Rosa - G katmillia September 5 2007, 03:00:22 UTC

OMG GORGEOUS.

I didn't put reference pictures up because I was actually posting from work, and sometimes I tend to get tetchy when images are involved just in case. I will modify that ASAP. :D

Um, you are made of awesome, and I love your picture.

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. :)

I did end up coloring it. http://kimouski.livejournal.com/48385.html#cutid2

GUYS I'm doing it right this time!! Have a party!!

It's ... a different style, and I think I LIKE it.

Re: Rosa [G] kimouski September 6 2007, 04:45:28 UTC

I'm not sure what your old style looked like, but this is cute. The palette is soft and pleasing to the eye.

PRETTY!! I will make the exhibition post now, since you've entered, and I do believe that is all of us that normally participate.

BTW YOU ARE UP NEXT.

AND I AM IN AWE OF YOU DOING THAT ON THE TABLET. I HAVE NOT YET ATTEMPTED TO DRAW VIA TABLET. *is scared*

first_seventhe September 9 2007, 23:55:32 UTC

HA, HA. Well, I have no idea where my scanner is, so I told myself I was going to do it all on the tablet. And I learned something! I am happy with the way the "art" turned out - outlining, coloring, etc. What I was really, really bad at was the "drawing" portion!

When I draw freehand (i.e. on PAPER), I make all kinds of happy little guidelines which help me fit body-parts and proportions and draw the face right and all of that. And for some reason, when I draw on the tablet, the guidelines ARE DOING IT WRONG. I try to do the same damn thing that I do freehand, but they just DO NOT turn out the same way! And thus all my proportions and stuff are off. I drew like 800 scary faces before I finally made that one look semi-OK.

I don't know why this is! I mean, I know my tablet skills are lacking, so I assume that's why. But I'm doing the same basic circles-shapes-things and it just IS NOT RIGHT. WHAT THE HELL.

Anyway that is tl;dr on my tablet.

Oh, I'm sorry. I just realized I commented on everyone else's except yours. Really rude of me.

Hmm. I like the jaunty pose and arch of the neck--not sure if you were aiming for that, but it's the quirk of the hip and lean toward the right that does it for me. I think you're working toward a natural style, but haven't unburied it yet. If I had to guess, it's more cartoony than anime-ish--which isn't a bad thing at all.

Sorry this comment was late!
