Thanks for the feedback! I'm not sure yet but I'll give it a try in my next run of drawing, see how it looks.
For now.... new update!
Now it's sleepy time for me!
I can't really see a difference in any colourshade anymore *blinks*
So... I'll see for myself what Mike looks like with the new update tomorrow! *giggles*
*waves* -
Oh! Thanks Sheline!
Your reference has been saved on my pc aswell
, along with the other 16 references.
What have I gotten myself into *giggles* -

In a special "Cat people" folder and all! *giggles*. I do that with all the refs that are posted here....

Time for another update!
Worked some more on Mike's face.
I wasn't agreeing with the first nose I drew on him..nor with how his eyes looked... but now it's getting like I imagined it would be
.
Looks like I'm getting the hang of drawing noses *giggles*.
Still loads of work to do.. loads of shading too... *shrugs* to be continued!
*waves* -
Just to give you people an update. I'll be starting this LOOONG term project in 2012. Giving myself the chance to finish up some projects I still have lying around.
You can still sign up for this, but I can't promise you your character will be in it.
However, the first 10 are garanteed a spot of at least 1 of the references they put up, as I said I wanted to put in at least 10.
That goes for:
Sapphic Neko
Memphis Bill
the fox Rox
Black Wildfire EU
Healix
Hidden Hero
Amerikatt
Floating FatMan
El__D
Impish Kat
Thank you all for your interest!
I'll keep you posted!

DeeDee -
I would be worried if it didn't! *giggles*
-
I'm done with DeeDee for now. Am still not completely satisfied with the shading on Dee's clothing, but I'll look into that later on. First I want to get Mike on Dee's colouring level again, then I'll go into the shading a bit more.
So here's a preview of Mike!
Well.. his nose actually. *giggles*
Now my fingers are cramped once again and I shall have to stop the colouring for today *pouts*. I should set a timer for having breaks next time *nods and makes a note of that*
Edit: As my version of DeeDee was inspired on CR's most awesome drawing of her (I cherish it so much, it's probably unhealthy *blushes*), I thought I'd put up a "double Dee" image *giggles*
I think it's so wonderous what different styles can do to a drawing! -

mmm... tentacles...
wait what?
It's beginning to look like a Daily Update...as here's another one!
Now I will see to my cramped right hand and the constant pink glow my eyes put on everything (go figure
) by taking a good night sleep!
Feedback welcome.
*waves* -
Thanks! I'm glad to hear you like the hair! It was quite the struggle to get it this way... and actually more of an accident too *giggles*.
I completely messed it up at some point...they really did look like tentaclas...very bad arranged shiney and round tentacles even *shivers*.
Oh I have a little WIP of how that started...
Don't have a WIP to show what I had made of the hair on top, but I tell you.. it was terrible! So I started smudging it, messing it up even more!... Or so I thought.
When I took a peek at it the next day, it looked like the top hair on the latest preview....and.. well... it really wasn't that bad, I thought!
Odd...what a night of sleep can do!
So now she has an old fashioned big hairdue! *giggles*
And the eyes (thanks Fireheart!)... I didn't plan on making 'm like this. As I have CR's drawing as my reference... and well.. they look quite diferent in that one!
But I too like the result
-
Another update!
Previous followed by the actual update.
Happy Halloween everyone!
*waves* -
LOL! I bet you're having a lot of fun making these, Bubba!
Looking good! -
Oh! So much awesomeness!
-
They all make me giggle! Utterly adorable!

Thanks Henri, SenseiBlur and CR!
And yes... I'm quite aware of the fact that I NEED to use more shadows *giggles*.
I noticed that too.
Though... on Dee here.. I'm using more shadow then I usually would already hehe.
But I agree, it needs more.
I decided to do the basic shadowing first, go as dark as I dare and once satisfied, I'll go tweak it till it's even better.
And yes to layers!
Though I'm not using layers atm. I'm VERY fond of the smudging technique! Don't need layers for that
.
I just use a waaaaay lighter colour and a waaaay darker colour (not white and black, but near them, in a tint of the colour I'm working on), put it on there with a brush and start smudging till I get the result I want.
It's an awesome way to decide where the shadow and lights exactly go, aspecially when you're not quite sure yet.
But the tweaking of this one will probably be done on another layer *nods*.
Then again.. I always have back ups available. So when I scr...eh.. mess up, I can always start the whole tweaksession again.
But layers can save you a lot of work indeed. Don't need to start over then
. Just delete what you don't like and go from there.
Thanks for the feedback guys! To be continued!
*hugs and waves* -
Okay, one more preview before my visit to my friend;
As a reminder here's the last preview, followed by the latest.
Now that I think I kind of have the hang of "my style" I try to do so as often as possible, without getting bored ofcourse. It's a slow style though... No promise of anything finishing anytime soon... but hopefully (and I'm aiming for it) I'll get both Saira as the Dee and Mike drawing finished before 2012!
Then I can begin my huge project on the catpeople! *cheers*. -
Gone too soon indeed. Rest in Peace fellow art-lover and City of Heroes player.
My condolences to his family, friends and to all the members of his SG.
It's always sad to read that we lost a hero (even a digital one).
Thank you Thor's Assassin for letting people know and showing off some amazing artz and by that giving the people that never had the pleasure of getting to know AD, an idea of who he was. -
Oh why not.. today I put my male main toon Mysterious Mike through the Halloween change.
Going with... what would he wear if he would dress up for Halloween...
And I think it would be this:
Simple, yes... a Vampire...but still wearing his own herosuit, though with slight (vampiric) changes....and the bats aura of course.. I love that one!

Aaaah!
I almost didn't find my favorite forum with my favorite people in it and got worried!
*tries to calm down*.

Quote:Thanks Henri! *skips the bodypaint remark*Originally Posted by Henri
the line of shadow definately works for me Dee, gives some depth to show the dress is 'over' the skin... though nothing wrong with painted on dresses imo... erm, anyway...
I think what people might have been pointing out was the line of the dress from her stomach to neck. The strap around her neck is supportting the dress and so the line would be more taut i think. In some styles this wouldn't matter as you'd just paint a very stylistic and unreal picture, but this piece you're doing is very realistic and so i think needs to conform to realistic physics... erm, that's a compliment in there somewhere, hehe
Good work Deedee, i really like watching your art journey
Aaah thát line! Thank for clearing that out! I see your point... hmm, I'll see what I can do about that.
@Neko: Ofcourse you do! *giggles* -
*giggles* DeeDee on a drawing spree!
Been working a bit more on Saira today.
Click of bigger version.
And here's a reminder of what it was at the last update:
Does the dress still look like it's glued on?
*waves* -
Cheers VexXxa!
Thought I'd put up another preview, as I'm busy with colouring. Trying to use everything I've learned since my first colouring.
(wow... just saw I started colouring in February... 2011! It feels like I've been at it for years!.... is that bad?)
I made a start at shading 'n stuff on DeeDee. Still needs lots of work and tuning to get it right though (like the hair is not quite right and the star looks like it has one crooked point. But that's all for later [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Big Smile.png
Edit: Another preview added. Straightened the star and worked some more on the hair too.
Still loads to do though![/img]

Atleast this time I didn't say something bad or funny or aweful!
And yeah, I see your point *giggles at the image*.
Peeps... it sounds to me like calling out to people that go to peepshows... *giggles again*.
It's hard enought (for a Dutch girl) to keep track of the US and UK differences in words... (trust me.. I have mixed some up at the worst possible time *grins*).
I probably should forget about the slang

Yay for more cuteness!
I think you did quite alright on the plaid

Nice work DD Are you adding the 'City of Heroes' logo onto the .bmp manually, or is there some way to do it in creating the texture file?
You know what.. Here's a PNG (and a BMP for people who only use paint and don't have windows 7) of the CoH logo placed in the spot I put it in.
Feel free to use it!
I know!!! It's so awesome!Quote:Originally Posted by ChristopherRobin
That has to be one of the best uses I've ever seen for a drawing of mine. Looks great DD. And a bonus is.. I get to see it back everytime the game loads a new mission or city.... sometimes just a flash, sometimes longer!
Oh! Right! I'll try and remember that *giggles*. I didn't say something embarrassing with my "peops"... did I?Quote:Originally Posted by ChristopherRobin
P.S. I think the word you are looking for is "Peeps."

That looks awesomely shiney, Foo! As does Basilisk!
I even like the horse.. it's so cute!!
