  1. Today I've been working on "Hair".
    I received some fancy tips and tricks and started practising...

    This is what I've been able to do sofar (only using mouse, as I don't have a (well-working) tablet in my posession).



    I need more practice...and prefertly a nice tablet...but, I think there's hope .
    Now.. dinnertime!

  2. @CR:lol! Well if you figure it out without knowing it was a font... I still think that was pretty smart!

    @Bubbawheat:Who is "Burnt Matchstick" *giggles* I suppose one should know that char before being able to recocnize her? Personally I don't know every character...COH, movie, series, book, comic or whatever based... or even from the people I regulary 'talk' to... so yeah.. I went with font
  3. hahah lol.
    It beats walking to the mirror over and over

    Still not using PS...so no brushes available...
    But I'll see what I can do about that .

    I also got a linky from Bobby about hairmaking and will check that out aswell.

    DD: All he really had to do was figure out what font I used, then do a straight decode from there as I did just use a special symbol font and typed it out normally. I plan on having her hold something similar to a Rosetta Stone so it can be figured out by only using the clues in the picture.
    Lol! I must be more brilliant than I thought! That was my first interpretation...that it would be a font... *looks suprised*.

    How do you know it says that?! *looks at the artpiece again* I really have no clue where to start O.o
  6. I'm wondering... is there anyone that can give me tips and tricks about creating Hair?
    Not on my head I mean.. I have more than enough of thick blonde hairs on my head *giggles*...

    I'm struggling with the hair part... want to make it a bit to the realistic side...but I don't know how...
    I did it once.. and that went okay (Channing Tatum), but I have no clue on how I did that!
    I'm trying and trying... but.. help? *blushes*

    because it's also a derogatory slang term for gay (which used to just mean happy) in this country... etymology is funny like that sometimes.

    No worries, I understand what you meant to say.

    In my dictionairy gay still means happy... The slang language is all wrong! *waves fist*
  8. Utterly outstanding work Henri!

    (there's your second (I really mean it too) outstanding! )

  9. Scan it as large as you can (for details ) print it and colour that instead?
    Then you can still keep the original as it is.

    I'd love to see it coloured ^^

  10. I really like how that portal turned out B.!

    Looks like the code is ... from a windows font *giggles*.

    ...wait does steak count? I do love a good steak.
    haha you too !

    About the steak... Well.. let's see... you're a **** sapien... which means you're an omnivore...which means you are aloud.. hell.. it's your nature to eat about anything that's eatable.. including steak! Sooooo..... Nope! That doesn't count! .


    Edit: Hmm... seems like a sertain word is not aloud.. homosapien then (which is misspelled though)?
  12. Nice job aswell Lord Goat!

    It's always very interesting to watch serveral techniques and styles of colouring.

    I still have a drawing lying around... Chichester Dawson is her name...
    Click on it for a larger version.


    I've tried colouring her.. but I can't handle the fire ().
    I'll place it for references. And to add... there should be a fist in the circle on her chest...




    Anyone wanna give it a shot?

  13. Awesome work VexXa!
    I like your style

    *giggles* I agree with CR on the barrelhole though.

    Will the drawing be coloured aswell?

    Ah yes... there's always the question of being able to pull off an idea...
    I know all about that!
    Having a great idea..and putting it to life are two complete different things.
    But...the month hasn't passed just yet .

    Though, knowing you...I bet you'll pull it off even beyond your own expectations .
    Which btw is the best way to do it if you ask me! It gives the ego a huge rush *looks delighted* .. hey.. atleast I don't smoke!... or drink... or do drugs.. let me have this at least!

  15. Thanks Henri. I thought this to be a very hard one too... but 2 nights ago I suddenly had an idea... So yesterday at 9 ish in the morning I started drawing... then scanning, colouring, editing and editing and editing...and just finished it at 16.15 today (european time ) Yes, I did sleep and eat and watched a few episodes of Bones in the mean time .
    I thought about putting up a "teaser" but I changed my mind. (So Bubba, no need to answer that question ).

    Hang in there Henri! It will come to you!

  16. *cheers happily* I've finished my piece for the March FArt Battle! That was exhausting!

    *waves*

  17. Bobby is awesome!

    *giggles* I suppose that one is finished then.
    Still open for collabing;

  18. Gratz Caemgen!!
    *cheers* at the prize.

    Well done CR!

    Right, getting back to this...
    I'm not sure what to saturate exactly... but I worked a little on the shading in the face instead.
    Also darkened the hair a bit (don't want to make it too dark, as the colour get's odd in combination with his facecolour, I think) and also darkened the facial hair.

    (service from me... to prevent scrolling down.. I've displayed the "new" one with the "former version" below it, though comparing works better with them next to eachother...)

    How's this?

    Couple more idea's.

    Where do the cars get fuel? where are the gas stations why don't freaks try to blow one up every once in awhile? Are there no schools? What's missing from paragon that ought to be easy to find what does that look like?

    Lets open this up to a little photography, run around your city (watch for cars!) and take pictures and compare them to places in paragon. I think I've got a couple pictures that will work for this. I just need to get matching screenshots.

    PS. this is totally not a grab for power (absolute power!) no one else wanted it so...I keeps it. (my precious)
    *grins* You can keep the torch as long as you like.. well untill it get's requested by someone else ofcourse .

    Fun idea again btw . I'll see what I can do (but won't promise anything ).

    That's how it (re)started for me aswell *giggles*. You're welcome

    February Art Jam

    Nice one VexXxa!
    Under water swimming would be cool indeed! (I've done it in WoW (sorry )... it's kindah awesome )

    I had an idea for this months jam, but couldn't make it work , and now the February Jam has passed.

    Has the torch been passed btw? (not that I want it... it was mine last month ).

  23. It's always interesting to see how people grow in their techniques . Thanks for that CR.

    @Soobooku: That indeed is a very good job, aspecially for a second try out! Keep it up! Oh and take on CR's advise . It's good . He has a really good eye for catching the little things others don't see or don't see anymore because they've been working on the piece too long .

    And getting back on track with the collabs now.. .

    So outstanding drawings are:
    Xodious#1:

    hoodtexture, hoodcolor and skincolor by Ransim
    eyes, lip and beard by DarthDelicious


    Xodious#2:

    coloring by Soobooku


    Anyone want to add/change/alter something on these for the sake of collabiness?
  24. What do you mean exactly?

    --the point here is: collab ... just saying --
