You can stalk Cape shows and draw people as much as you want, CR, we approve of that sort of thing ;7
Boo to Cami for not making the art I want.

Care to elaborate Terrible?
he is my hubby and I am going to! I am just finishing a commission atm
I was just being goofy.
I try not to ask for art.
If she's not interested in something (as in her heart isn't in it), she's never happy with the final product and it won't leave the assembly floor, so to speak.

out for delivery!!!!!!
I drew this last night, it's not CoH, but I did it on my old Graphire 3 because I am so excited about the Cintiq. I don't normally draw only on tablet because since I'm traditionally trained it's very hard for me to keep things consistent because I'm not watching my hand make my lines, I have to look up at a screen while I draw in my lap. All this will change any minute now!
That is very cool Camille! I like the style you've come up with using the tablet.

drawing on my lap while the lines appear on a screen in front of me has been one of the biggest challenges to learning digital.
The minute I saw the first Cintiqs I was like ooooh that would totally solve that issue... then I saw what they cost lol.
The price will come down eventually and I should be more familiar with the medium by then.
I'm excited for you though Cami you'll have to let us know how you like it.
Also really like the look of this latest sketch. Is she a particular ethnicity (guessing African) or just something off the top of your head?
she's a fantasy ethnicity
And the cintiq is awesome
ok I can talk a bit more now. Spent a long time installing and such then played for a bit, then played CoH, then got down to the nitty gritty. I am an oil painter so yeah sketching is a big deal for me with this but I wanted to see how it would handle me being able to color with fluidity.
I was nervous that drawing or painting on it would require me to do some adjusting, like it did on the graphire. My brain told me there would have to be tricks to it. Well I picked it up and from the first stroke till the last tonight it was completely intuitive. Like a duck takes to water. It was a perfect blend of what I already know, smooth clean digital mixed with natural organic strokes. I feel like there was a significant increase in quality to my mark making. I know that before I would get tired of working on a piece and sacrifice detail to just get it done. I am convinced it was a sort of fatigue. I would be just exhausted from my brain working over time to connect the dots.
Well I was having fun! REAL FUN! The sheer joy of what my hands wanted coming out of the "end of the pen" as it were. But I had the freedom of the digital process...oh that was wrong. Undo. Oop that's too small/big. Resize it and keep going. I don't want to screw that up. Make a different layer.
Honestly I am in honeymoon phase. I'm sure I'll be swearing at it in a week or so but right now it's the most perfect thing that ever perfected perfect!
Started painting on that sketch btw:
That sketch/character is really interesting Cami! I saw her and just, immediately Liked her. Your painting is really developing her, too. Don't stop!
I find myself wondering what her story is... And wondering if, if someone asked, she'd tell it to you straight, or make up some fantastic tale on the spot. Is her name Scheherazade?
Be Well!
Fireheart
her name is A'reena and she is...very worldly I guess is a good way to put it. She sells fantasies? She's a working girl who also makes jewelry. She is a fan character for a webcomic I read.
I absolutely love the new piece you are working on Cami. I haven't been able to catch many of your broadcasts lately, but I will try to pop in as often as i can!
Bright and Shiny,
American Wonder

Edit: I feel like I should point out that she's not normally the type to dot her i's with hearts, but the sentiment of the occasion seemed to call for it.
