yes, it sure does! At least it's like a step up, or something completely different. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. ^_^

So I wasn't paying attention to artist's name and I just saw I had a deviation. I was just looking at the picture and I thought, "Wow, I've never seen I-G do chibis before," And then I was like "But why would he draw like DarthxErik's chibis?" And then I saw it was you and I was like "That's yippie skippy amazing!!!!" I agree with above comments, Erik is adorable despite I might get killed for saying so. Photoshop huh? Very nice. I can't work with PS; it's too confusing... Sorry for the epic-long comment, but I like this pic a lot~!!!

I clicked fullwiev and thought "Holy crap! There's something weird about this pic. It looks like photoshopped!" and then read the note and got everyhing!
M'dear this looks really awesome! Love it! It's really good especially for someone who has so little exprience with PS! I just wonder... Did you draw the lines in PS too? They look like the lines I draw on PS but I have a tablet. Do you? Well... anyway U really did a very very nice job! It's also so detailed! All these little curls of Christine's hair and her dress and these golden thingies on Erik's outfit and the lil' skull Ok... I really don't know what more to say!

DarthxErik In reply to NorahSS [2009-02-17 01:54:46 +0000 UTC]

yes! I got a tablet a year ago, actually-- but haven't used it until now!

Well I was kinda hoping you'd have some tips! What's your style when it comes to shading? I just played around with the burn tool and sometimes I used actual colors... the layer thing is so much fun.

NorahSS In reply to DarthxErik [2009-02-17 09:08:38 +0000 UTC]

Tips? Sure! Anytime. The way I shade depends on the effect I wanna get. There are lot's of different ways. I guess I'll send ya a note or make a tutorial cuz' it's kinda' long story.

DarthxErik In reply to ThisIsMarzy [2009-02-17 01:55:49 +0000 UTC]

Gah!!! DEEETTTTAAAAIIILLLLSSSS. Dude, that is one of the best parts of the whole book. Ooooh, I love the Red Death costume, but Raoul is my favorite part of this, for some reason. He just looks adorable, and I love book!Raoul soooooo much. And Christine's swirly puffy dress is AWESOME. I kind of want it.

Your first Photoshop? DANG. You're good.

DarthxErik In reply to sunni-sideup [2009-02-17 01:56:57 +0000 UTC]

thanks! I'm into details. ha ha.

Raoul-- IS amazing, isn't he? I'm starting to like him a bit more than before. I like his *fair* mustache.

thank you! again-- I really want to MASTER this area of art. It's so much fun.

sunni-sideup In reply to DarthxErik [2009-02-17 02:13:20 +0000 UTC]

I hated Raoul until I read the book. And then I was just like, "Dude. You are awesome." XD Fabulous...

DarthxErik In reply to sunni-sideup [2009-02-17 02:15:05 +0000 UTC]

I don't know what I feel about Raoul in the book-- I wonder if I'm supposed to like him more-- or less? His constant wimpering is as sweet as it is annoying.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

sunni-sideup In reply to DarthxErik [2009-02-17 02:18:23 +0000 UTC]

Best quote ever is when he yells, "I DESPISE YOU!" at Christine and promptly starts crying. Maybe the reason I like him so much in the book is because he is so obviously not a threat to Erik. Christine just likes him because he's innocent and naive. In that way, I guess R and C are kinda made for each other.

DarthxErik In reply to sunni-sideup [2009-02-17 02:20:14 +0000 UTC]

of course. That's what I was very resistant to accept at first-- but that's exactly what makes the story unique and-- in a way-- beautiful? Poor Erik!

When I first got it I just did random doodles and messed with filters, brushes, effects, the lot! You should check the tutorials, there are some brilliant ones on DA!
