@Nemesis: The Workshop party is a party hosted after the Workshop, for everyone who is interested. It's basically just to hang out and have fun for one last time, and I guess they hand out the prizes there too.
Ooh, the detail you've added is pretty! Grenth looks really Grenth-y, and Dwayna is coming along nicely too.
@Ninja Monk: Not everyone uses the pen tool, but it's really handy for selecting large areas, or selecting areas cleanly so there's no choppiness to your selection line. It's also good for creating clean lineart, by first going over the line you want with the pen tool, then using the Stroke feature. Here's a tutorial on how to use it in Photoshop: http://fav.me/d2n82o6
Also, will change your pic to digital art, thanks for pointing it out! Your drawing is coming along very nicely too, I love the detail on Dwayna.
@Verene: Your concept looks interesting. :3 I love vector art, even though I'm not very good at it myself. So far, I think you've managed to capture Dwayna nicely, can't wait to see where you take it next.
@Marsh: Eeee, so pretteh! <3 It's waaaaaay too cute for words. XD
@frostkisses: Perhaps use a soft orange/brown for the background? Slapping on a background on the computer will easily make it look unbalanced, because it's difficult to get traditional colouring to mix with computer colouring. Highlights and small tweaks are ok to do on the computer, but I find that using a cg background on a traditional work often just spoils the whole effect, because there's such a stark difference between the mediums.
So yeah, you could try doing really, really light coloured pencil shading for the background, using a light colour? Orange and brown could work nicely.
@GeminiJuSa: Good luck with the video! I can't really give any tips on that, since the only video program I've ever used was Adobe After Effects... and even that was years ago.
@Tommy's: That is looking superawesome so far! I think the background looks pretty good. Perhaps some last detail highlights once you get the rest of the stuff coloured, but that can come later.
@Morag: Eeeee, please enter! It's great seeing you here again, and I'd love to see an entry by you. You have such a lovely drawing style. :3
@satomz: Such sad lyrics... can't wait to hear the whole thing. I do agree that perhaps the lyrics still need some work, but can't really put my finger on what needs changing. Perhaps try to get the same kind of poetic style he has, by ending the lines in similar sounding words? For example, if you look at the last... uh.. stanza? paragraph? (I'm really, really bad at musical terms XD), you can see Sinatra has some words on every other line rhyming with each other. That can help to create harmony in the words, and make it fit together better.
Hope that helped.
Monk out!
I'm always forgetting to save constantly and sometimes Photoshop will crash and there goes all your work. I do like the reworked, piece, though, Looks nice
