Description Mac! Third in the series.... I liked the pink in this one. That polka dot texture is a scan from some of my underwear, oddly enough. I think her head's too big or something....

You're welcome! Feel free to crit anything of mine. The opinions/insight of an established deviant such as your self would really be helpful!

For example how do you go about getting hired to do commisions? - was considering offering that service myself.

kitton In reply to wheelmanforhire [2007-10-03 03:45:45 +0000 UTC]

ohhh if you can figure that one out, let me know. I get very very few commissions. The ones I did get I got because I was plugged by popular artists ;_;

Holy cow! Well I guess I need not expect a commision request anytime soon LOL. Keep up the good work.

kitton In reply to wheelmanforhire [2007-10-03 18:33:51 +0000 UTC]

Well it depends on how many watchers you have, your style of art, and how much you charge. If you charge a very small amount and get a lot of traffic, then I'm sure you get some too

Oh my gosh, I really love how you've done her face - the shape/features are so unique, I love the hollowed cheeks and long face (..haha). And I love that dress - it has any icy sheen to it. I love her shoulders/upper body and the purplish tones in the skin as well, and i like her pink lips and shoes. ;u;

how innovative to scan your undies! might try that one day~
her eyes are gorgeous, she has a much more grown up feel about her
the shading across her chest and dress is just perfect. her lips look so full and lovely, too!

SoundNinja [2007-05-01 23:12:28 +0000 UTC]

Nice lips

Her arms seem a bit short though... though that might be caused by what you already pointed oot aboot the head.

Otherwise awesome :3 Great textures

C'mon, most of us don't have pouts! And most celebrities have theirs enhanced. I'm sure your lips are fine.

Goddammit, kitton, stop making me jealous of your characters' clothes! XD No, seriously, I love the outfit you picked out for Mac this time. I tend to put my characters in jeans and T-shirts all the time, so I'm totally geeking out over all the cute clothes you draw. The pose is also very nice-- Mac looks very collected and casually sexy. "Oh, this old thing? I just woke up, I'm a mess really."

Her head does look a little too big, but I think it might be because her facial features are a little large in proportion to the rest of her body. If they were scaled down a little bit, it might look a little more realistic. I don't think it's a major flaw, though; they aren't blatantly large, and it looks more like a stylistic choice to me than an anatomical mistake.

The only other thing that stands out to me is the shading on her chest. The contrast between her breasts and breastbone seems very sudden-- it goes from being a bit dark on her breastbone to being distinctly paler on both breasts almost immediately. It seems to me that the shading should be a bit softer, at least on the breast that's farthest from the light source. (Is that making sense? I always feel weird when I talk about little details.)

*looks back over her comment* Oooookay, sorry for the Long Rant O' Death. o.O Lovely job overall, and I hope to see more retro-style drawings from you in the future!

Thanks for the long comment! Actually another deviant is considering doing some clothing collaborations with me, and she was looking at this dress. If you like it you may be able to buy it But if you just like it in the art, that's cool, too!

JunkyardHalo In reply to kitton [2007-04-23 21:15:52 +0000 UTC]

Ooh, that's tempting...but I don't know if I can afford handmade clothes! XD If the collab goes through, I will at the very least drool over it and point it out longingly to all my friends.

Johannadeen [2007-04-20 08:16:42 +0000 UTC]

She's beautiful!
The pose looks very pretty and natural. It's true that her head is a little too big but I didn't even realise it until you said so so I'd say it's not so big that it would bother those who look at the picture.
Love those shoes!

The-Living-Doll [2007-04-20 04:08:35 +0000 UTC]

Her head's fin, hon. It's just that her arm (on her knee) is a bit too shirt. Oh, and, can I use this idea for a pattern? I'll call it the Kitton Sundress.

kitton In reply to The-Living-Doll [2007-04-20 15:39:03 +0000 UTC]

sure go ahead hahaha! It's similar to the one I was drawing out for you.

Now if you could make this dress in pinkish polka dots... I'd love you forevs ;_;

Lol. I'm sure I could manage that. I can't wait to see what you draw for me! If you do more than 4 peices that I'll use then I'll call it the Kitton Line.

What a pretty piece! Your use of textures and color is, as always, amazing. Though, and I'm not sure if it's just because I can't see it or I'm mixing up sides, but is the thumb on her right hand missing?

kitton In reply to DarkVal [2007-04-19 22:37:33 +0000 UTC]

Likely. I don't care about fingers... though I'm sure if she's missing a thumb, she cares about missing fingers haha!

Steffid [2007-04-19 19:46:24 +0000 UTC]

looking cool ^^ how do you do the textures thing?? is there like an easy way to use them in photoshop? or do u just have to chop things up on different layers?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kitton In reply to Steffid [2007-04-19 22:38:59 +0000 UTC]

I have a few tutorials in my gallery (actually if you organize it by popularity I think one of them is number 1) if that helps But yes, I create new layers, set the merge mode to multiply and set the opacity to between 30 - 60 %? I guess. Depends on the texture or the piece.

I;m sure there are lots of other methods to do this, though!

How do you shadow the texture itself?

Her outfit is fantastic; I adore the dress.

kitton In reply to La-Muerte [2007-04-19 15:24:46 +0000 UTC]

I don't as I talk about in my texture tutorial, I add the texture to a new layer, set to multiply with lower opacity. Then I can shade the dress (or whatever) underneath and it will still come through! Hope that helps

yea I want that dress, too ;_;

martinhoulden [2007-04-19 09:36:26 +0000 UTC]

hey kit! I like this, the pose is well balanced and the face reall differs from the norm If i was being picky, i'd say the head was a touch too big as you said, and the hands are a touch too small. But, thats me being picky because in this case, i dont think it detracts from the image

paint shop pro eh ... hmmm! 8]
