Arts!

So, I've been working on my people-drawing skills, and being more imaginative/less references picture dependent. Despite being agonizingly slow, at least I've had some success fun. ^^ And I'm beginning to love digital painting. Really, really love it (especially since imbecamiel has been letting me borrow her Bamboo drawing tablet \o

Cool! I'd think trying to come up with an original painting not dependent on a reference would be very difficult.

[nefhiriel]

Heh, yes, it's challenging, and I wonder if I'll ever really get there, because (except when I was a kid) I've always needed to use some kind of reference in order to keep things from looking warped. :P

That looks great! I'm impressed with the richness of the coloring, especially on the hair. She looks like a fun character!

[nefhiriel]

Aw, thanks! I definitely gravitate towards vibrant colors (which probably doesn't help with the realism...), because they're just so purty. :3 I'm glad she looks fun! :D

[impulsereader]

That is fabulous. I'm loving the blue and gold, it makes it feel very rich as an image.

[nefhiriel]

Thanks so much. :DDD I do love fun colors (and she's a fun-color-wearing kind of character). ;)

There are times when I seriously think about hiring either you or your sister to do my book cover. Absolutely brilliant :D

[nefhiriel]

Aw, thank you! *blushy* That is such high praise. :3

Oh, oh! I forgot I hadn't commented on this!!! I LOVE it. Seriously, the way you do skin digitally looks like oil painting somehow--I am SO envious. Gorgeous! Also, she looks very 1920s! :D

*bouncy* Thank you! :DDD I really wanted to incorporate some sort of tech to add a more cyberpunk element to it...but only really thought of it as an afterthought. But I do love just drawing 1920s stuff. ^^
