Description Okay. I've decided I might as well post this one anyways.

If someone finds this offensive, I can sort of understand, but I have to admit whoever would be offended by this might've set themselves up for it. So I'm of two minds about it.

My character's dialogue here pretty much sums up what this is about - it's both a commentary about said subject, and basically a humorous poke at said subject as well. I'm amazed at how many times people will cute-ify a character that doesn't really need it. Sometimes it works, like in the "chibi" style. Other times it...it's Squicktown.

Such is my opinion about the 14-year-old loli style personifications of GLaDOS. *shudders* Okay, I get people are into that. I get some even find it adorable, cool, kawaii, whatever. But...this is a psycho homicidal computer who kills people with death traps in test chambers, neurotoxin, and turrets. I"m not even going to finish that thought.

So here is this piece, which I hope makes people laugh and think a little bit. I'm hoping more find it funny than offensive. Though of course GLaDOS wigging out about DAers is probably scary enough for some. >_>

(Mind, I think doing what I drew her doing is a bit overkill, note my character shows that sentiment. The thing is, I can't seem to write a properly passive-aggressive-ish GLaDOS line for crap sometimes, so I didn't bother trying...And G is a bit overkill herself on the topic of killing people who piss her off, so... )

GLaDOS, that poor scared turret over there, and the combustible lemons are copyright to Valve.

You're welcome.

And to each their own. Some people do best with pencil, paper, and a scanner, and digital coloring. Others do best with mostly traditional with some digital touch-up. And still others like to do it all digital.

This is true, but I haven't tried all styles yet, so I can't be sure which I'm best at (I'm just plain not a very good artist yet, have you seen my stuff?). Life is learning, eh?

Yeah, practice is something everybody ends up needing to do, even the pros.

There's a couple ways to look at: imitating your favorite artists, and seeing what works. Looking at actual real-life stuff and drawing from that. And of course, just drawing what you want to draw, but letting critique show you where you need to improve.

I like to think I do the third one, but nobody really critiques me. I get some compliments from my friends, but I need to know where I'm bad too. Lol... I know this is an odd favor, but would you mind critiquing me once and a while? I know I need it.

It's not a big deal if it's not something you want to do.

Everybody seems to love photoshop, I suppose it's about time that I check it out for myself. I'll get a trial and aquire the full version of it if I can wrap my head around it and use it well. I'm tired of stuff like Gimp and Paint.net, the second of which was actually my first photo editor beyond Paint. And I didn't end up liking it, or perhaps I didn't work with it enough to get used to it, I dunno.
