Description Apparently I never submitted this [wtf!?!?!?!] and since I just spiced up my journal with it, I'm putting it up now.

I made this for a contest on [link] in which we had to represent a beta fish. (: my favorite part is the bubble-cigarette, I think. And the CHAIR which took me FOREVER. with like three references. I also am quite fond of the palette.

The base is my own.

Woo! Thanks for the DD. ^.^

Omfg. The chair is orgasmic! D: I love it... And the bubbles make me giggle. Insta-fave.

Congrats on the Daily Dev, too! <3

I made it a bit ago, so I don't remember *exactly* but...well, very few of my dolls take less than 3/4 days. Lineart alone usually takes a couple of hours, and I constantly get burned out and take breaks...so I'll work for like...2 hours, maybe, and then drop it until the next day.

The Aetre and Charlie doll I have in here took me a week and a half, on and off. >.<:

...Daaang. D: My dolls only take me, like, 2hrs on average. But then again, I'm a sheezy doller, so ha.

Well, your effort really shows. >.>

Yeah; I really think you have to take longer than that to 'olish off' a piece...

Personally, I don't start shading until all the lineart looks like a finished piece by itself. I figure, if the *lineart* doesn't look good...then neither will the doll, once it's shaded. And I don't move on from any garment until the previous is done...I'm somewhat obsessive compulsive about it. ^.^ also about working from the bottom up, starting at the layer above the skin...dunno why...XD

Being a novice is fun, though. I get to blame my mistakes on things I have no idea about. ...>> Only thing is I wish I had a better program than MS Paint, one with layers. A lot easier to manage, I've heard.

I usualy get the position of the body to something I like, or edit the base I'm using [[even if you won't see the edits throught he clothes... I'm obsessive over that. ]] before I do anything... then outline everything, see if I like it, then start doing the clothes in.

I abuse the "" emote too much.

I flatten out the base shading, then make minor edits, then put on the lineart, and then I edit the base more until it looks like what I want...but I don't generally edit pose very much, I just trim off a pixel here, clean up a few pixels there, generally smooth out the curves and fix blaring anatomy errors...(;

I'm horrible with anatomy myself, but I try... heh.

You should animate the bubbles!! Not that you need to, because I saw this and recognized it from your website. Recognition is always good

I know absolutely nothing about animation...I should look into that, maybe...:onder.::

So I was browsing through the Daily Deviations for today, and when I saw a DOLL in there my eyes went O.O! Congrats on the DD.

XD! Thanks!

Actually, though, a doll gets posted every fourth day by ^ShoneGold . (: They're always on original bases, however. If you have suggestions of baseless or original-based dolls that deserve DDs, totally sent ^ShoneGold a note!

Cool. I don't look at DD's that often, so I've never seen a doll there before.
