Description
I made these for my little Gaia shop I've yet to open and thought I might as well let you see. I still love the grayscaled world the best no matter how much better I get with color. >_<Related content

If there's one thing that I find hard to do, is use completely different colors for highlights, like purple for skintone. It looks sooo vibrant, and makes it stand out a lot.

Practice... and hours of frustration. It's hard, because if it's not light enough as a highlight it looks really weird but the lighter you go, the less you color you can get before you hit white. And color isnβt my friend, that too.

Color seems to be more kosher with you than me though XD. They look so great though!

Oh man that is so neat! XD This pic rocks! I love seeing the comparison from lineart to grayscale to color, its really cool! Those two characters look awesome! I love how you did the purple lighting on the top character's skin, that came out so beautiful! <3 this whole thing!

Ah so cute XD
I love when you color =3
You must be very busy on Gaia.
I love grayscale the most too, I still perfer it over color anyday...
Everyone thought I was crazy buying 9 different shades of gray >__>

GabrielleKelly In reply to chibisora [2006-07-26 21:59:15 +0000 UTC]
It's not crazy... much >_> XD I think six would do it really, right? A light, a medium, and a dark in both cool and warm gray so you can build the other inbetween shades if you need it like with graphite... but building can be a pain so go for the easy ready made shades. XD
I'm not that busy on Gaia, mostly because I'm keeping a low profile for now. Once I have time to devote to a shop I'm going to make sure my prices are high enough so that I likely won't be too busy at that. XD

chibisora In reply to GabrielleKelly [2006-07-27 20:14:17 +0000 UTC]
Exactly what I think, building is such a pain DX
Now I have warm and cool grays in my posession so I get to do a lot of coloring, but i'd still rather do it on the computer. I wish I had comic works, though it might be a pain to try and work out, but that's okay...I'll just cheat when using tones and throw them into photoshop...for now ^^

It's all equal parts practice and frustration, coloring never came easy for me at all. >_<
Thankies! <3

I'd buy if I wasn't such a newbie and had you send me gold, rather than the other way around I am such a dirt-poor prostitute on that site. I should like, go get some Gaian to give me money for my services and then you can drive up in your pimpmobile and use your pimptacular hand to bitchslap me, screaming "Where be mah moneh biyotch?!" And then I reach into the pocket of the glam rock pants you bought me and give you your cash. Good times in the Gaian slums : D

Oh hunny, I would never slap you... for fear of ruining my drawing hand... ^___^ Good times, good times.
I would so make you a free one, but once I actually open the damn shop (i.e. finish your b-day gift which I am so excited about O_O )

Oh my god, I'll help you pimp it around Gaia by putting it in my sig or something equally gay That is, once you put it up. I'll be your secretary or something

wow these are really nice. i iike that you show lineart, grayscale, and then color of the same character and same pose. it really gives a nice picture of things.
you should do something with your great character design skills! I'm always so interested by the characters you draw... did you ever think of writing a story or doing a comic?

You know, when I first started up drawing that was the reason, I wanted to be a manga artist... than I realized I sucked at just about everything oriented with manga and decided I should probably learn how to draw first. XD I dunno, life seems to be taking me in a different direction at the moment and I'm happy with it, but I still get ideas that I jot down thinking 'that would make a interesting manga.' If I ever do anything with it, only time will tell. It would be nice to create a story combining my love of art and writing, probably an ideal in a way, but there's a lot I need to learn first. Hey, but I have my whole life to figure it out. <3
