Description
This is for you. @___@
this was NOT the picture i originally drew to post, but it was too difficult to start over on something i already started *and lost*
so i started drawing the lineart for this about a week ago, on flash. :d the whale is highly referenced, in fact to get the feel of it i ended up tracing one, and then drawing it from that reference XD
let's just say, this picture was killer, and no doubt the biggest file i've ever compiled size wise. over 100 megs. and that may not seem like much for the big artists that use a million layers for a jacket, but for me it's a landmark. o____o;;
the water was fun, and done over and over again. XD no tutorials, just smudge and mulitply + screen.
i dunno why i'm saying so much ;~; but this took me forever and i felt guilty for not meeting the timeline i set myself as a joke T___T
this was supposed to be done at least before decemeber.
ehe as you can see .. i didn't make the deadline.
but, because of my guilt, you got something a million times better than i thought i would do. @___@ so be grateful, and i hope the wait was worth it zoo <3
:B enjoy ye landlubbers. Faeyice should be enjoying her orca ride already.
aaannnnnddddd i hope you don't mind the orangey dress, D: {you said to surprise you}
i figured an airbender would like a lighter color :I
the whale IS lavender, but with all the filters and effects i used on this, it turned out waaay darker T__T
i'll post the whale and girl seperately later in my scraps :>
my first attempt at water D: i think it turned out good.
Time it took: For-freakin-EVER!!
Program: Cs2 and flash something or other for lineart.
faves and comments are appreciated since this basically killed a week of my life XDD
abayo ;D
Faeyice is © ~melodicpixels not me!!!

I really should attempt to do them, and put more effort into my drawings, but I simply haven't had time to do anything that involves sitting infront of the computer for 5-10 hours. D:

Ya have ta tell me how ya did the sky for I fail at stuff like that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
RoninMaj In reply to Kesquest [2008-01-16 05:53:56 +0000 UTC]
oh yes! the sky was the easy part.
i just used different layers of the gradient tool.
choose your colors, like a red and an orange, or in this case, a pink and a purple, and on a new layer, fill with the gradient tool.
{it should be on the same patch as the bucket-fill thing is, right click it until the little extra menu pops up for the gradient option.}
then you can click multiplying, or "vivid light" on a new layer above it, and put up new colors, like the sun glare i have there? it's just a different kind of gradient overtop of a pre-existing one.
you can change the shape of the gradient... if you don't know how i'll tell you
and at the end i basically just did the stars on a screening, or "lighten" layer option on a different layer over all of them

RoninMaj In reply to Kesquest [2008-01-17 03:22:02 +0000 UTC]
lol it's not too hard, there's a brush called "star" that's really actually perfect to make a star o_O
just remember to change the colors to slightly blue, or slightly yellow or even red colors, rather than all white. it gives them a more realistic look, and overall more depth i think ^__^
i hope that helps, if it's too confusing, just ask me again, and i'll note it instead. explanations are so confusing. T-T
