I do! I use a wacom intuos pro medium that I've had for a few years. It doesn't have a screen, just a normal tablet. Do you do pen tool mouse vectors?

Yea i'm using my mouse for vectors. Pen tool is just something you need to get used to.

You're very welcome!
I'm currently working on some fanarts aswell.
I even created my own "Blackwell-ID" like the pictures in the student files. xD

Thank you. (:
Means a lot to me.
What kind of brushes did you use for the shadows, highlights, etc?

VaneFox In reply to CheckmateXIII [2015-10-28 02:30:12 +0000 UTC]
I only use one brush for everything, very rarely use two and probably never use more than that. It's a bad habit I know. The main brush I use is Bluefley's square brush. It's great for painting. Great shape and opacity and really good for blending. For my hard lines, I use the default pressure size solid brush but I turn the spacing to 0%.

I don't really know if it's a bit habit or not.
Because I don't know sh*t about brushes. xDD
I'm a "newbie" in digital drawings.
But thank you very much, I will take a look at those brushes. (:

I love Kate so much, and this art is really amazing. Just wanted to let you know. I am a writer, so art isn't my strong suit, but I absolutely love this.

Thank you very much. I love Kate too as you can probably tell. It really was my complete prerogative the entire time to make her feel comfortable and happy again and I'm glad that I have the ability to at least draw her with a smile. It's a little sad that most fan art of Kate, she never smiles.

Freelance7 In reply to VaneFox [2015-10-26 06:58:59 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, in one of my stories, I do describe her as having a smile that could "light up any child's heart".

Me too! Thank you! And yes, it makes me very happy whenever Kate is happy and there's not enough art of her being happy and smiling so I took it upon myself to do it. Glad you enjoy it.

I loved her so much too! I avoided romance with everyone hoping I'd get to be with Kate. :') Even though you couldn't, comforting her at the hospital was the most heartwarming moment in the whole game for me. Aah I just love her.

when I was playing with my friend, she killed kate the first time and I started screaming and sobbing and telling her to reload and save her haha c': the hospital scene was so nice, ive never seen anyone with a playthrough of dead kate so is that scene replaced me a funeral??

I took absolute caution, care and love with Kate. I made her feel like the most important person in the world, and to me she was. I've seen pictures though, when she dies a memorial is left in the school and it was absolutely heartbreaking to see.

oh no way i couldnt stand to see that ;o; i tied my best to make kate feel the best she could and when the endings came around i honestly felt worse for killing kate in the storm instead of sacraficing chloe

VaneFox In reply to StarlightSuper-nova [2015-10-25 16:17:38 +0000 UTC]
Woooow really? :s Like... I'm surprised how 50/50 the ending was, because when the choice came around to Sacrifice bae or bay, I literally without a second thought, the moment it popped up, sacrificed Chloe. And of course I was gutted but there was no way in the world I was going to let all those amazing people that I came to love die for such a selfish reason after I did so much to try and make their lives better. And after all the events of the game, everything was only going to get worse with Chloe alive. Like... it wasn't just the time travel that caused the storm so much as it just being another way the universe is trying to kill Chloe and I don't think it stopped trying even after that event, how many more people have to die? Really, I only made the choices I really would have done in the same situation.

StarlightSuper-nova In reply to VaneFox [2015-10-25 16:42:49 +0000 UTC]
Im the same, i did reload and play both endings and my first option was sacafice the bay for chloe but i was pretty sad at that ending cus of the pre mentioned love for kate (< 3) but i knew it would only lead to more suffering, because if max still had those powers and it was chloes destiny to die then she would constantly be put in a cituation where it would be chloe or somewhere else and it would never be settled. Though if you sacrafice chloe everything gets put to rest and i assume max has lost her powers because she got to spend those last minute times with chloe (but its sad that chloe doesnt know shes back at all in that ending and presumibly died thinking everyone had abbandomed her). Its all just a big sad moral story and i cried a lot :0

VaneFox In reply to StarlightSuper-nova [2015-10-25 17:28:35 +0000 UTC]
Not just that, but can you imagine the immense pain that David will be put through after he returns to the Bay to find everyone along with his wife dead? Probably never to see Chloe again. That town was all he had left in his life, I could see him killing himself or re-enlisting in the army and really I love David, I just want him to be happy too. Nathan and Victoria, everyone deserves happiness accept that one bastard you know who, at the very least, David killed him so if I were to pick Chloe over the bay, at least that monster is out of the picture. It really is sad though and I don't understand the disappointment of both endings, there really is a big moral with being content with what you have and don't take anybody for granted. The game opened my eyes and really changed my life. I'm full of determination and I will try my best to make the best of my life. But yes, I cried a ton too.. haha, by half way through I couldn't cry anymore I was just out of tears but the pain still lingered.
In fact most of my tears were used the moment I saw Kate jump off the roof and I guess I had the same thoughts as Max because I was thinking "nonon no no NO! You can't die KATE!" and I was so scared that any second the time freeze would stop. Luckily I was attentive enough to know just what Kate needed to hear.

StarlightSuper-nova In reply to VaneFox [2015-10-25 23:04:45 +0000 UTC]
oh god yeah, I always assumed david had died in the storm too because of some time mess up, if he didnt im sure max would of checked or something. David had some messed up moments but he was suffering and I understood why he did what he did and I never hated him or nathan for what they did because they both had mental illnesses and never really wanted to hurt others. The endings are sad yes but are in no way badly written I mean they were foreshadowed the entire game but we were constantly in denial, thinking we could save chloe and the bay.
I get what you mean too about opening your eyes, its a really deep and emotional game, even with the timetravel it manages to stay realistic with its character protrail and realationships and how you deal with certain problems and consequences.

It is so sad, Nathan just wanted a father that loved him, then to be abused and killed like that. It really is heartbreaking. Honestly, this game played with my emotions incredibly. I absolutely wanted to kill him after the whole Kate incident until, well, you know. Have you played through it more than once? :'J

StarlightSuper-nova In reply to VaneFox [2015-10-26 14:21:58 +0000 UTC]
I kinda felt sorry for him from the start and i never felt crazy hatred for him, he did make me angry with kate at first then when i found out he was struggling i just felt sorry for him and tried to tell others playing it that it isnt all nathans fault and something else is happening. And i havent personally, i feel like playing an emotional game like that more than once kinda ruins the emotion of certain scenes, but i have seen countless other playthroughs and seen my friend play it.

So sorry for the late reply. I'm just a scumbag like that. Since this post I've actually seen a lot of fandom stuff of LiS on Tumblr and I gotta say, I really don't like it. Nobody cares for Arcadia Bay or the people at all. I swear, absolutely literally everyone on Tumblr that I could see, all fan pages and everything are all like "Bae over Bay". And It actually just makes me angry and upset with the human condition how so many people can willingly sacrifice kind and innocent humans for some selfish lesbian girl.

Its totally fine haha ^w^
and yeah ive seen the same and it bugs me a lot, im not the biggest fan of chloe, i get her and her character, what shes been through ect but she isnt my favourite and that you would sacrafice a town of people for ONE PERSON is really dumb, especially when theres no gaurenty that this would never appen again because of chloes habbit of getting into trouble
