Description
Yet another old drawing. I had originally drawn this for an art contest on Gaia. It was a really rough sketch back then. I found the contest with only 5 days left in it and the coloring of it just never happened. So the drawing was abandoned and left among the many unfinished works in my "Incomplete" folder. I had considered ditching it all together, but thought it would be good practice. I was originally planning on it being the first drawing to be colored in this whole multiple layers thing, but Taki's beat that out didnt it.Either way, good practice. The coloring itself was a pain in the ass. My lineart sucks way bad.. especially these days. Mouse coloring just isnt easy. Midnite was the easiest to color.. something about her just had a nice flow. Star was the pain.. even more so cause I went crazy on her hair and made it all long and such.. so that made it hard for where I put my layers and whatnot. Its probably obvious that I rushed it a little bit. I wanted the practice but really didnt feel like coloring this peice.. or just about any other one I had available. I also feel like this one came out kinda weird. I dunno, its just not what Im used to I suppose.. cause I felt really out of my element and it just doesnt look enough like my work.
Drawing: Probably 45mins.. it was a long time ago.. I dont remember.
Coloring: Like 7ish hours.. I lost track.

Awe thank you Sorry you didn't make the contest. I'm glad you could use it for practice. I colored with the mouse for two years so I know it's no easy task XD I know of a professional fantasy artist who still uses a mouse though o.o So nothings impossible! Just keep at it.

I want a tablet so bad.. so I can blame carpel tunnel instead.. XP I just hate how jagged it gets.. it looks so bad. And shading can be a bitch too.. cause it feels like you dont have as much control over it.. especially when the mouse sticks on the mousepad while your trying to make a curve.

Haha.. no.. I just mean that when I have shaky lineart Ill blame it on getting carpel tunnel from the mouse. Ive been having to wear a wrist brace while coloring cause the muscles get sore.. although.. some of that might be from not having done it in a while.
