Description

will I ever finish an entry in time .....?
Finally very belated my entry for the Reluir Prompt X) Photoshop started crashing on me all the time towards the end and I decided to call it 'finished'  

Since I was over the deadline already I decided to sketchy draw a few other characters >/////< This is more a ....collection of ...scenes?? rather than a real drawing piece.... ahh well hope you guys still like and and that I didn't butcher all your wonderful characters and your outfits Q.Q ...
.......

Characters belong to:
Lorna - Lost-In-Canada
Dimel - Tenebrian
Dûon and Phéarel -  me
Stitches and Eithne - avodkabottle
Mithras - Miruae
Ara - akiaue
Lady Katherine Overture - und34dmuffin



as you can see ... I this time ... went overboard with gradients :mingshard: I am trying very hard to get a hang of digital drawing and I guess I get stuck with every 'new' feature I discover for myself ..... I still question my use of brushes //i went back to use PS default round brushes, and yes I most of the time have not such a big clue of what I am doing //derpyyy face/

ah I see...........yeah true also the braid and blue dresses so often get associated with Frozen nowadays. Though I didn't design it with Elsa in mind.

Trips in once more here-- at this rate I'm going to run out of how to word things but JUST!! CANNOT!! not gush LODDLFHOGFHL 
First off it's great how you're trying out different features-- definitely a long uphill of familiarizing yourself but it's good to take it at your pace, since there's a lot more to tackle the further you delve into PS, haha. I've always thought gradients tend to be quick and effective solutions for adding a finish so it's nice you've tried them out.

Anyway let me apologize once more for the sheer amount of details there were on Eithne's dress and yet you managed to draw her TWICE... THANK YOU... My favourite parts about these events are definitely talking about the interactions so just-- I'm so tickled when you bring em out on canvas ehehe. I don't think you need to hear more about how I love phea stitchy combos so-- just overall glad you managed to draw all these other characters too, everyone is gorgeous and also !! MITHRAS!! I admit I hadn't expected him so it was super cool to see you draw him too here (gazes at miru for handsomest elf)  

drat okay I'll be devolving into gibberish at this rate but THANK YOU LOTS AGAIN .. can't wait to see more of your drawings when you'll be able to once again after these months

//catches you if you trip// your comments always make me smile and look forward to draw again >//////< thank youuu for being supportive of my small drawings q.q !! haha yeah I still am careful of gradients though vanvan nudged me to try them out and also use different layer option (so far have been only using the normal mode //mingshard// why do I keep on refusing to check tutorials) ...... AHHHH maybe I prefer learning by doing? BUT YES GRADIENTS ARE GREAT  XDD //glances over at pretty voddy art for inspiration and ideas hope that is not creepy D; AND I LOVE EITHNES DRESS I am a bit afraid of details as I can't handle them well yet but plz don't apologize!! she is gorgeous o.o had to draw that small hc it was just so stuck in my mind >///< so glad to hear you like it! and OH GOSH Mithras was so hard to draw .... too much handsomeness in one oc //faints// felt as of I wasn't at the level to draw him XDDDD ///hoards all the stitchy silvy interactions >//////<

I'm still really floored that you went so ambitious, and I hope you're proud because I sure am; that's a lot of effort and a lot of improvement all in one piece!  Keep playing around in Photoshop, you'll find yourself a groove eventually~
Also you made Lorna look so elegant and pretty!

thank you so much for the nice comment >/////< soooo glad you like my take on Lorna o///o hehhe  It's always fun to draw our little princess, she has such gentle features and the curly hair and just cute >///< 

how to put it .. I am half proud bc some small voice tells me I can do better //mingshard//

Fantastic work Dusty! Witnessing your fast improvement is always enjoyable. I can see that one again you've outdone yourself, drawing so many characters with different poses and expressions. I must say that I particularly love Phéa's dress and OMG THAT HAIRDO, SO ELEGANT, SO CLASSY. //stops fanboying before it's too late
Using the default brushes in Photoshop is recommendable. Although I also use custom brushes and never exactly know what I'm doing, so things end up looking really nice or really overdone Anyway, good job on the gradients too. I think that the simple gradients help the characters to pop in contrast so it's good that you kept it simple.

Ainu Q///////Q I MISSED YOUR ENCOURAGING COMMENTS!!! AHHH thank you so much o////o I must say I have a very good Sensei //glances over at Van-van but yeah I thought before I download so many brushes from all over the place I focus on what PS has to offer... and recently I heard Photoshop can apply filters .... THE HECK ARE THOSE??!! XD This whole digital transition is so full of surprises for me xDD so I am very glad to hear supporting comments like yours >///< makes me want to try more

hihiiii ITS JUST A LOOSE BRAID AINUUU with loose strands!!! xD .. and lots of pearls ... very important the pearls xD //

ahhh you should check out voddys drawing for a better 'dress drawing' ... we kind of bounced back and forth with dress ideas and ... she actually turned my sketch into a masterpiece ( drops link here to spread the art fav.me/da1tapz )

again thank you very much heheh so happy to hear the gradient effects worked out q.q...

Filters are great tools indeed! But it's easy to overuse them and end up messing the colours and stuff. It's always worth experimenting though! Ctrl+Z is our best friend
I'm glad to hear that you're eager to keep on trying new stuff, it will definitely enrich your artworks!
Voddy's artwork does look incredible, I'll make sure to drop a comment later!

Tenebrian In reply to DustSketches [2016-05-20 19:31:41 +0000 UTC]

Years of dealing with assholes, that's how he deals with it. Stitches isn't that annoying, only mildly at best. Of course, Dimel won't admit that Stitches is anything less than annoying. AND Dimel's been a thief, assassin, smuggler, and pirate among normal jobs. I imagine he's met some pretty colorful people.

BWAHAHAHA XDD Omg Dimel yeah hearing that list, truly makes Stitchy and Phea seem like  harmless cats heheh Though he seems still the most composed and eloquent of the trio X)

Tenebrian In reply to DustSketches [2016-05-21 00:12:59 +0000 UTC]

Because he's sucking up to keep his job. It's the best one he's ever had. He doesn't want to fuck this up. Plus, he's got this streak of wanting to prove he's better than he used to be. It's a touch of ego, insecurity, and wisdom.
