Heh, I think most people's colouring looks sloppy up close. That's the magic of it: how it can look so good as a finished version, until you zoom in close and see all the brushstrokes. Then again, brushtrokes = textures. <3

Thanks for the interest and all the art trade offers. <3
I've started with one commission and will take a new one from this thread once I'm done. I'll contact you if you still want it once I get to you~ Thus closing commissions since I think I've got enough offers to go through for now.

@Tommy's: I'd be happy to do an art trade with you! Haha this is fast turning into an art trade thread but nothing wrong with that since both parties will get something nice! I'll add this to my list of things to do.

@Invertation: Sent you a PM~

@InfestedHydralisk: There is still the 1g stick figure option! ;D Ah well I find it hard to put price tags on stuff(which is why I tossed it to you guys haha) but I guess above 50k I start painting stuff with more detail. I tend to go by feeling with every piece so it's hard to say, sorry. >.< Thanks for the offer, I'll let you know when I get to you. That's a very interesting description to boot. Very different and inspiring.

@Marsh: I start out with small messy sketches and as it goes along I enlarge it to something like 1400 x 2500 pixels or even 2500 x 4000 pixels. If I remember to switch PPI to 300 I do that before resizing. Usually it's the default 72 PPI in Photoshop. The size depends. I always want to have the heads & faces in the image large enough to almost fill my screen in height. :P

@Ravenhawk: Yay thankies~

@Perynne: Aye, I try to paint as much as I can zoomed out so I won't go into too much detail at first... It's hard to keep yourself from getting too caught up in one single detail like the lips or eyes, efficiently forgetting the rest of the picture. xD Textures<3


Sorryes for the slow reply. :d

Yay! Nian art! There's not much to say that hasn't been said, but it's great to see you painting again. :3

The monk is so adorable~

Very different and inspiring. I am interested like the one you provided above of your monk. In what price range is that?

*joins the commission conga line*
that monk is beautiful! *__* i guess i am slightly confuzzled if youre actually taking commissions yet...or just doodling for now. if its the former, let me know and ill update with char info/screenies

@InfestedHydralisk: Depends on how much effort you want me to put in and even still every piece is gonna be different. I'm not even that happy with the above Monk painting, it could have been better. I let you decide the price... More than that I like something simple/easy to paint that will inspire me heh.

@frostkisses: I don't have a "Commission waiting list" because I don't think I could handle that atm. I'm just gonna go through the offers I got when I have the time. Sorry for being confusing. There is no first come, first served. I'm picking what I feel inspired to do one picture at a time. If you want you can post your idea/screens for me.

Doodling Tommy's art trade yesterday.

Don't worry Tommy, it's not going to be black & white. You will see later... I'll send you my char pics in a moment.

also

hectic friday gtg back to work asap bb my head hurts... D: ->

OMG that's such a realistic cat! o_o Woooo~ I wish I had a boss like that.

Anyway. The wip is looking soooo cute. :3 Only comment is that perhaps the panda could have a flatter snout? Looks a bit too long right now, almost doglike. Otherwise it's looking awesome.

The Tommy Art trade looks so pretty! Can't wait to get yours started (as with any other art trades I got right now lol *clones self*).

awww! The monk hugging the panda pic is the cutest thing ever! I can't wait to see it in final form

Alright, 100k it is.

Also, I love the the drawing you made for tommy! Looks really cute and cuddely!

I LOVE the hair on tommy's monk. I agree with pery, perhaps shorten the snout a bit. Other than that..just beautiful so far.

I'll update with some screenies soon then.

Wee I managed to finish my first commish this weekend.

I have a habit of taking progress shots so, spam time:

Fabulous doodle...


Lineart for easier shade/color picking.


Spectacularly crappy shading muhaha~


Finding the colors.


Messing around...


and fin~



Sorry for the massive image spam. :'D

That looks really awesome! And I love the way you paint

Tommy's WIP is adorable, though the panda reminds me of a corgi XD Still awesome though.

Vibrant, but with purpose. Elaborate, yet restrained. Simple, albeit detailed. Most importantly--shiny.

Oh wow, your style is just amazing!

That's so great! I love the progress pics, too

Thanks!

Here is something I was doing before doing commishes.

Witch & a Witch Hunter~ It was supposed to be for Halloween but I alas I failed to deliver so I made something else for HW. :F

@Verene: Corgis are awesome aren't they. Even when they're pandas...

I love seeing process pictures, it's always fun to see how an artist works on their drawings. And ooh, the finished product is sooo glowy. @_@ Very, very nice colours.
