btw, could you upload the screeny too? I never noticed that cherry tree (grandmaster cartographer lol)

Farai is my Dervish and my main. She's going to be sitting on that pedestal in her Norn armor while snow falls around her.

And sure!

Nice outline, Verene. Though I'm not how the exact architecture looks, the angle on the large column to the left looks too intense. Assuming it's just a standard cube-like shape, the angle on the left corner would be closer to a semi flat line. But if the actual wall is angled like that, theeeeen carry on

Edit: Just checked your reference picture. That angle on the column's tablet needs to be evened out a bit so it's less intense. Also the angle on the lower corner so it's closing more to the left. Other than that, your outline looks good to go.

I'm starting to think it was a bad idea to get the candy canes this early. Going to have to buy more next week. It's easy to find the single stripe red and white ones, haven't found any wintergreen ones locally yet , and there are a lot of garish colored ones on the shelves but nothing quite like how the rainbow ones look when dropped from inventory (using these right now).

/sigh Good it seems they don't know about your entry yet, shew. Is till haven't got opportunity to see it btw

@Kiya: do the wintergreen ones exist? :O Never seen one in my life... how do they taste?

From what I remember they were good. Nice break from peppermint and cherry canes. Linky

Oh, i actually meant rainbows, like the screen ones, not wintergreens, oops

here is my first few attempts i know their not very good artwork but im still testing as ive never used these paints before! their just a rough idea before i start drawing for real



the first one was just a test to see how the paint would come up and get used to using it.

the last 1 was just to see the difference between the two outline paints i had bought..the one used on the bottom came out too dark, smuged and blotchy. the one used up the top came out clearer lighter and smoother u can see the difference in the picture. this is also a bit smaller than the first drawing. i think now that ive chosen the outline paint im going to start on a first draft of the outline and also shows the sketch i drew of dwayna which im working off

edit: new pic

If I could combine these magically it would work. Or maybe these if I can find them.

Edit: OMG. Don't know if want.

Such good art! I don't think my photography will hold a candle to any of it in the end, although I'm still lustfully eyeing the tonic prize and slightly drooling over it; I think I'll still enter although the prospects of me getting one are slim.

Link to the very beginnings of my song. It's just the drum beat so far, and it's far from perfect. The majority of the song is a sort of high-beats-per-minute alternative. You'll catch the metalcore breakdown, and at the very end I'm working on the jazzy, crooner segment.

EDIT: Since there's no words, I guess it would be important to tell you it goes V/C/V/C/C so far, and the jazzy part at the end cuts of before "jingle all the way." The breakdown is in half-time.

nyaa, so late, want sleepytiems....

Just posting this, then I'm off:





The cuirass being prepped before the basecoat.
There's a new blog entry about prepping foam armour at the wordpress blog.

Looks a bit wonky in these photos, dunno why.
I'm a bit sleepdrunk though, I'll make sense of it tomorrow... XD

Updating first post tomorrow too, so sorry I'm late!

It looks... mexican

Yay, another entry/chapter to read! ^_^ It's so interesting!
I'm so waiting for the coloring part

I'm definitely going to go back and adjust them a bit. Thanks

No prob. Figured I'd at least give some form of input into the thread besides a donation

I got the "draw-til-you-drop" feeling last night at around 11 pm - 1 am (can't remember hehehe)...
It's 9 am now *lol*

This is where I got to, I did a base coloring, and the lineart thingie (man that tool is fun, and very easy to learn!):
