Description 3/10 Commission for ~ValentinoSonic .

For some reason, I could not stop listening to this song while coloring this.

GOOD LORD this took me far too long to finish! I've had it sketched for about TWO MONTHS now, but it took me this long to get motivated enough to ink/color it. I feel so bad that I'm taking so long with your commissions! I really hope you like this! I used some pretty cool brushes on it. I can't remember who made them, though.

I'm just happy I've got something to submit again! Hopefully another commission will be uploaded soon, possibly sometime this week, one for ~Sandexicutionist .

okay next time you open commissions.
im there bro.
do you do money commissions?
i-i'd have to send it through snail mail
but i'll get you a cute hallmark card too so the mail people dont know im sending money

but this picture is great
i love how you do your shading, like
where it doesnt blend if that makes any sense
i try and do shading like you then i get angry then blend everything lol
but yeah love the background too (:

I do take money commissions! My prices at the moment are being reworked, but don't worry, I won't charge you like $40 bucks for something simple like this or anything. XD Snail mail is fine with me. I trust that you're not a creeper. X3 When they're opened up again I'll send you the proper information. C=

Thank you very much! I'm pretty sure this style of shading is called cell shading, but I have no idea why. XD It's what I've always done, but it wasn't until I got my tablet that it got easy like it is now. But now I've been doing it in Photoshop, and that's forced me to change how I do things drastically, mostly since now I can't use a fill bucket and have to color everything in by hand. But yeah, thanks again! I look forward to drawing for you when my commissions open up again- I love your characters. >w<

awesome haha (:
yeah im not 18 yet so i can't have my paypal account for another couple of months, so for the time being i have to commission everyone through this method haha.
but yeah let me know when it opens again !

and cell shading i'll have to look that up
i've tried to do it with my pictures but the shading always looks so darn awkward so i just blurr it in haha. obviously i'm doing it wrong.
and thanks haha, i have so many mood swings with my characters. i hate them one moment and then suddenly i draw one i haven't drawn for a while and they're my new favorite haha. x) im glad you like them thoughh

That sucks! But it's okay, I actually prefer hard cash to paypal, since no funds put into my paypal ever see the light of day. XDD But I will be sure to save you a spot when I open them up again, since I won't be taking too many this time.

What program do you use for your coloring and stuff? I might have some tutorials in my bookmarks that could help you. C=
But no, I really love your characters! As far as the physical aspects, I just adore Gabby (I don't know her too well yet lol), but I mean she's one of those characters that I look at and I just "Gfdsa! I must draw heeer! o3o" XDD I know how you feel though. I see every body else's awesome characters and then I look at mine and I just, "....shit."

haha sounds good. I'll have to set aside some of my money then.
we're kind of going through a rough money spot since im the only one in my family working right now but half my paycheck gets to go to whatever I want so i'll use that for commissioning people lmao

most of the time i use sai, but i've got photoshop elements 7.0 and paint.net
lol really? im getting tired of gabby tbh, because im starting to rediscover my other unnoticed characters like max and jamie and cleone haha. but im glad someone like the little rat-face ! and what are you talking about your characters are great haha. they're unique and like, idk reconizable? at least your style is reconizable, i'd say (:

Aw man, I know how it feels to be tight on money. I hope that someone can find employment soon!

You... have SAI? O_O I am sooooooo jelly.XD I would love SAI, but you know, $80 for the license is a bit hard to come by lately. But someday! For now Photoshop is fine. Well, I'm not sure if Photoshop Elements works like CS5, but here's a couple tutorials:
[link] [link]

The second one helped me out a lot. It kinda makes you look around a bit, but it does help a little. Also, if you don't already, you should definitely try inking with Paint.net. That's what I use, and I LOVE it. The line/curve tool is so nice. What I usually do is put down the lines, but since they have blocky edges, I go in with my eraser and smooth out the lines. That's how I get such clean lineart. C=
And thanks! you think my style is recognizable? I always think it's boring and unoriginal. XD I'm glad you like it. C=

Oh I just use the trial of Sai lol. Of course it ran out a long time ago, but I just screenshot stuff and paste it into paint.net, crop it, etc haha.
but thanks for the tutorials and advice. I used to rely on paint.net for line art but then I discovered sai has a nice line tool haha.

and yes i think your style is very recognizable. something about the anatomy (not that its bad anatomy lmao) is creative and different from others (:

DraconemIgnis In reply to itriedtodohandstands [2011-07-28 00:45:17 +0000 UTC]

Oooh haha, I do that too. XD Mostly for my animated avatars. I need to maintain my layers for my coloring, so I wouldn't be able to use SAI's line tool, even if I did understand how it works. XD

Really? Thanks! That's awesome to hear! X3
