Description
The illustration for this chapter of my fanfiction. [link]Azami demonstrating some foxfire for Tails.
I loathe the blank space above Tails's head, but I couldn't do anything about it. I also wish Azami's ears hadn't run off the page. He looks funny.
Monochromatic compositions are a lot harder than they look. ._.
Tails (C) Other people, art and Azami the Kitsune are (C)WingedHippocampus, do not alter or distribute.

Life has been very strange and has pulled me in new directions. I am again finding the parts of my old life that mattered though.... and hope to be here a bit more.
take care!

Ooh, gorgeous!
The blackness doesn't look bad! And Tails' awed expression in the blue light was really well done.

Don't worry about it, the blank space gives a sense of void, like an anime scene, or even within Tails mind, and the missing ear is almost unnoticeable due to your exceptional use of Color, which I am guessing is blue to symbolize an astral tint or something to that effect.

Foxfire is usually portrayed as blue because of its supernatural qualities.

Or green in some aspects, but its always in that side of the spectrum.

I dunno, I like how the blankness kinda fades into the more complicated areas with Azami's hand and claws and so forth. The fireball looks good too.

Indeed they ARE hard, which makes your success here all the more astounding. The composition is really good, too; I like how much smaller Tails feels in comparison to Azami. Plus, another detail you'll only really notice in full-view and which was probably unintentional but nevertheless friggin' awesome is the way the black background subtly swirls around like waves of sand. Good stuff, good stuff.

Unintentional, and I messed with my scanner a lot trying to get them to go away. T_T But...you actually LIKE my marker lines. x.x thanks. As for size disparity, well, Azami and the other kitsune are a little on the tall side compared to most other Mobians, and Tails is a kid, too...so...double whammied. XD

But...I thought the whole idea of the story is that Tails WAS a kitsune, or at least that's the impression I got from the title. Hmmmmmmmm...did you just spoil the plot? XD
And I think the marker lines work in implying the glow of the fire outside of the two people it reflects on. Plus, they just look real cool. :3

Oo, very nice. The colors you chose really add a level of depth to it. I should read that.

Uwaa, very pretty!
But next time, why don't you play a little with the levels on Photoshop so you can get rid of unevenness in the black area? It's very easy and wouldn't change anything else about your piece. Just a tip!

Hey, you're not dumb --it took me long enough to learn. Years! And anyway, it doesn't look bad. It's just what I would do in that situation.
If I remember correctly, I think you go to Image>> Adjustments>> Levels... and then play around with them. An easier alternative (though it sometimes doesn't look quite right) is to go to Image>> Adjustments>> Auto Levels. This way you don't need to modify anything else. But sometimes it works right for the colors in your image, sometimes it doesn't.

._. I's ascared of that program. But I'll one day get a computer fast enough to run it, a tablet, and I'll take classes on how to use it, promise.

MarinaNeira In reply to Omnicenos [2008-11-17 19:23:21 +0000 UTC]
I never took classes. As I said, I struggled for years. I don't usually use my tablet either.
Even my cheap, slow, first computer that I got as a birthday present ten years ago could run Photoshop, so yours can't be that bad. If it's because you don't want to use a pirated copy, there's always open source software like Gimp [link] (I've yet to try it, but I've heard it's almost as good.)
In any case, you should work with the tools you like best. But Photoshop is worth giving a try.

Yes! I like traditional coloring, but I'd love to learn to do special effects in Photoshop. I think it'd really make my work pop. Thanks! ^ ^
