Beast's artliness -- now taking requests. o:

Yeparoonie, I'm taking headshot requests now. c: You can have either a plain ol' headshot (roughly 200x200, neck and up) or an avatar (95x95, may include things like hands and shoulders).

So if you want one, just make sure there's an open spot on the list.

The List:
1. Morichai's Theo: http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn134/gleeful-beast/hstheo.pngDone!</a>
2. Emz's Gabe
3. Argent's Keith

Somehow I always end up drawing work-in-progress characters instead of the characters I've already created. D;

Anyway, yes. Contortionist girl. The coloring turned out pretty well, I think -- I found a new brush in photoshop that works a lot like colored pencils or something (not in texture, but in application).

But someone else that I showed this to said the face "just..sort of floats on its own."

Do you think the head looks too separate from the body? I'd just kinda assumed the neck would be hidden from that perspective, but should I change something?

it's really interesting seeing how people colour. i like your little palette. ^^

she doth not have a tail?</td></tr></table>
Haha, thank you. c:

Anyway.. I left out her tail on accident at first, then about halfway through I was like, "Wait a minute, something's not right." But I felt too lazy to change it, so I think I'll just say that since she's a shapeshifter & she doesn't like tails, she chooses not to have one. XDD

Also! For the informations of the general populace: I've applied for an artist/designer position here. c: I hope the members of the current staff enjoy my artish stuff as much as you guys.

 

Well thanks, guys. :D Your compliments & stuff are very much appreciated.

Haha, yeah. :3 Thank you.

I've been experimenting a lot more with perspective & foreshortening, and I've realized that it's generally not quite as hard as it seems. Plus it adds a really dynamic feeling to almost any pose.

The colors make me happy. And yes the funny thing about foreshortening is that it seems really hard, but in truth it is much harder to draw without it... </td></tr></table>
Thank you~

Foreshortening, for me, doesn't make it easier, per se, but it's definitely not as tough as it looks. It does take some extra thought to make it look right (and I'm still not that great at it), but I think it's well worth it in the end.

 

Lemme see..

Well, apparently it's called the Airbrush Pen Opacity Flow. & I have a pressure-sensitive tablet, so depending on how hard or soft I push, the opacity changes.

Just like colored pencils, my favorite real medium. :D

 

Photoshop 7.

I got it off ebay for $30. Bootleg! -shame-

Anyway. :P

You need a certain kind of tablet for the pressure sensitivity of the brush to work, Benji. Otherwise it just makes regular lines. D:
