How could 5 deviants find this critique unfair? "76 out of 81" Are you kidding me?


This is totally fair.

Well, I take the base color, then put shadows on top on a clipping mask, and try to figure where my darkest tones should be, and get them on with the copic brush at a low opacity, so I can gradually build the tones as I go along. Once everything it pretty much where it needs to be, I go over it as light as I can (physically with my hand/tablet pen) with the blur brush on a high opacity. After That's done, I put on another layer for the highlights/lighter tones and do the same thing. If I think I should darken the area, but already have things where I like them, I can go and copy the layer and mess with the mode (sometimes multiply, overlay, or shade) and the opacity, and keep doing that until I get it to where I like it, and then merge all the layers darker than the base value, and when I have the layers that are lighter than the base value how I like them, I go and merge them with each other as well. Merging effect layers with normal layers will cause the effect layer to turn into a normal layer right before merging, so mess with the values and opacity to try and get the layer to look the same in normal mode as it would in the effect mode it was in before you merge it down. Multiple layers can be used, but I try to go and merge as much as I can, purposefully going out of my comfort zone of having all those layers separate and independent of each other, so it's easier to mess with the overall adjustments for areas of the picture, or of the picture as a whole, later. I also now try to only use effect layers when I duplicate layers or adjust layers, and now when I go and draw out stuff, because they can create problems when messing with things like clipping layers and layer groups, and they'll come back to bite you if you just create tons of new layers early on in the drawing, and it's really tough going through all your layers, trying to find the one with the tiniest blemish imaginable. It also forces you to become more comfortable and confident with your brushwork in general.

He might cry. Pinkie would be pretty darn bad if she made Spike cry. She'll probably consider that before sinking her teeth into that cupcake

I remember Spike crying when he thought the person his life revolved around stopped loving him, when he suffered a realistic vision of being abandoned, and when he was suffering an identity crisis. Pinkie Pie might think he would cry over a cupcake...

Here-for-the-ponies In reply to BoneSatellite [2014-07-22 16:02:58 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I get that. I agree, but they say they write Spike to be 7 or 8, and his character doesn't seem like a 7 or 8 year old most of the time.
He'd be the only 7 or 8 year old to not cry if special food made for them on their birthday was eaten by someone else.

Or he could just retrieve it from their esophagus. Y'know, like when he pulled a cucumber out of Rainbow Dash (+1 for innuendo).
