Description
I'm testing out a lot of new things in preparation for my next book - using the mapping pen, copics, Google Sketchup and Manga Studio. I used all those things on this page, and slapped a few tones over it (which took longer than it should have...). I had to compress it for DeviantART; normally the tones would appear a little clearer, since the original is at 600dpi. In particular the hatching tone at the top right has compressed in a slightly squicky manner. Well, at least I like how I drew the girl.The characters are just some random ones I came up with - nothing to do with the next project.
Compiled in Adobe Photoshop CS3.
EDIT: Updated to fix left hand as well as clean up tones.

Cool!!!!! I'm trying to use the comp for my artwork. . . but it's a tad hard. . . and my comps old so it freezes alot.

Clockwork7 In reply to Shrone [2009-09-05 02:31:36 +0000 UTC]
Hmm yeah. My comp's not too old but it's not powerful, and I get the 'freeze' thing happening as well. These art programs take so much to run nowadays...

Shrone In reply to Clockwork7 [2009-09-05 13:37:27 +0000 UTC]
I wish there was a way that it didn't freeze so much. One of my friends has the same program, but her computer is a month old so it runs faster on hers.

This looks fantastic! ;o;
I really love the character designs!
And you're amazing when it comes to drawing machinery. (I must say I'm jealous~ >o> )
I'm really excited for your next book!

Some of the machinery was done in the Sketchup program, so I may have cheated a little (but I still had to build it in Sketchup!). Thanks.

Oh gosh this look so good ;_; The only thing that might pose a problem is that top right corner, but I'm pretty sure thats due to the picture being compressed? I really love the pose and face of the girl, and the crazy detail of the machinery, as always. *thumbs up*

Clockwork7 In reply to Doridachi [2009-09-05 02:29:47 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I'm not sure I'll use that tone in future. I was trying to be clever with the tone, and it doesn't look great. Ah well. Thanks!

Doridachi In reply to Clockwork7 [2009-09-06 02:33:15 +0000 UTC]
No problem. : D I hope you find a tone to replace it or something.. After all, this is a really good practice page!

Everything on this page is nicely done! XDD Did you have to ink all the bars that she's standing on, and all the electronics? (+favs) XD

I inked all the bars (that was soooo annoying....), but some of the electronics were done in Sketchup.

@_@ you used sketchup? how?
I thought it was for 3D images!

Clockwork7 In reply to Gerazzi [2009-09-05 02:28:22 +0000 UTC]
You can export 2D renders from it to make backgrounds. That's how I made the fans and the turbines in the picture.
