Description THIS TOOK ME ALMOST LITERALLY TWO DAYS STRAIGHT TO DO. (I started the rough sketch 30 minutes after I got up yesterday, spent until 2am on it, and then continued it today also ~30 minutes after waking) ....Don't expect this kind of quality often. THOSE. FRONDS. I didn't use any references for this, so consider it quasi-oriental/ignore any cultural mistakes. You totally can't tell, but I did detail his staff/polearm (and necklace).

Happy New Year's, everyone!

Another amazing piece of work from you! X'D But I really have to ask... How do you do your linework? |D

X'DD No problem~! Um, like... Do you draw with a Tablet? Or do you just scan in your lines and darken them, then add colour behind? XD

Ah, I get it. My exact process:

1) Idea
2) Rough Sketch
3) Lineart (darken lines by going over the sketch in pencil, but pressing harder)
4) Scan
5) Clean (my scanner tends to pick up every sinle stray mark and smudge left on the paper) *MS Paint
6) Color *MS Paint
7) Shade *MS Paint

Yep, pretty much.

MS Paint? Get outta here, I couldn't even tell! Do you do all your works with Paint?

Yep! Two years of MS Paint and you learn a lot of tricks...

It looks like you're using photoshop or something, it really does. Just out of curiosity, have you ever considered trying GIMP or one of those other free programs?

Now THAT I can't believe, dude! This is what Photoshop pictures look like: [link] I've tried GIMP, but I only really find merit in the smudge tool (and have decided to use it soley for stains from now on as you can see here [link] ).

It's just that your shading and lines are so smooth, I couldn't believe that it was done with MS Paint!

Yeah I've found that GIMP works better for photo manipulation. But there's a really neat freeware art program called FireAlpaca, it's a lot like PaintTool SAI, sans a few features. It does have a tool for manga speed lines though, which is pretty cool

Well, thanks!

That sounds good, but i'm going to stick with Paint. Why fix what isn't broken?

X'DD Ah... Wow that's amazing UwU Thanks so much!!
It's just that I've been thinking of re-starting with Digital Work for a while...
But drawing with a tablet is a pain in the ass -.-;;
And your lines look so cool X'D
So I was kinda hoping that's what you did... It's given me more confidence!! XD
Thanks ^ ^;;
