Omai Minami, looks great, specially your hands. Very cool. Just I would brighten up the background a bit. Contrast between you is a bit too much now imo.

As far as my title goes. I'm still doubting between 'The greatest snowman ever made' (but this is the precise title of the wintersday quest) and 'Tyria's greatest snowman'. Or just scrapping the whole thing Thank you for all the suggestions and comments

I can't think up any good titles for it Tommy. All I can do is complain.

My whole household caught some sort of cold this week so don't think I'll get around to a second entry for Workshop, just too tired. Plus I had been thinking of making GW stockings but after the Anet cards got posted that kind of shoots that idea down. >.<

@Minami. Great job!

That basically means that your RAM memory is entirely used by PS, and that photoshop is trying to temporary replace RAM memory with disc space. I recommend to either clean up a little partition where your photoshop is installed or install it on another one, where you have more free hard drive space.

Edit > Preferences > Memory & Image Cache you need to set up how % of the entire amount of RAM you want ps to use. Default is 50%, if your pc isn't strong enough you can set 90% to 95% but that usually means that you can't run anything else beside photoshop.

Edit > Preferences > Plug-Ins & Scratch Disks here you set hard discs for temporary files. 2gb is recommended, but don't set it to use same partition where your OS is installed. (you can set 4 different discs)

If you want to speed up even more your ps, you can delete all of the brushes/patterns/plug-ins/fonts that you don't use.

Fantastic work on the costume, Minami.

@Tommy: Gotta agree with the others about the title, mainly "adventure," but it looks great!

Charlie suggested that I reveal parts of my final image slowly

So I put it all together into a collage, 2 pics revealed now, 3 to go (couldn't make one pic fit )

The dates on the ornaments are tentative Don't hold me to them ^_^

I'll post the individual pictures later on my DA page too.



EDIT: Penguin, you came the closest to making me think Gwen is nice...

EDIT2: I'll be trying to rework the collage thing too... most definitely do not hold me to those numbers

Penguin, great as always. Don't think anybody did not see that was Gwen You are really good with I think charcoal?

And Minami looks great. Like the left photo much better I must say, for the cimetry and the background matches the skincolor a lot better.

Penguin ~ that is such a sweet picture, somehow it so Gwen to be cuddling that cute bear and still looking slightly sulky ^^

Minami ~ Those are lovely, I have to ask….can you see through that headdress ? I like the left one best too, though I don’t know why.

Thank you guys ^_^

I could see through the head dress, but just barely It didn't help that it started to get dark

I redid the collage, it looks a lot better now, and I could include the one pic I had to cut out before.

Oddest compliment ever:
@Minami: Your lips suit the ritualist costume perfectly! It looks really nice!

I think you did a really nice job there minami; the costume turned out even better than I thought it would, really great job! I love the first pick on the new collage the best! The trees surrounding you makes a very well balanced pic.

@Nemesis-of-the-Gods: Thank you for checking up those tutorials (and sorry for not thanking you before, I've been going ballistic over that the eyes won't turn out as I want them to. I'm almost considering scrapping the idea as it just won't turn out good unless you want to have it as a poster on your wall... X_X) Although I've already got two of them.

@Eastern Magik: You're too good for me to be able to recreate what you did to my pic X_X Makes me realize that I just need to give up on it for now and work my way up there. This was the best I could do following your tip: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/20...ia-d3540wv.jpg

But I am gonna secretly practice. I love the help you've given me! ~<3

@zidane888: Your entry... wow... just... wow... ZOMGBLBRRRRPPPPPHHH!!!!!! I'm so amazed! Thought I think the char's right arm still looks a bit awkward; like one of those drawings where you start with what first comes to mind without making a proper sketch before so what you drew first looks on in the big picture. (I'm tired, don't hit me! *cries*) It truely is amazing though! Love the snowfluff!

@Flying Ninja Monk: You were working on a 144cm canvas?! No wonder your computer crashed! My lappy can hardly handle a B4 international paper size XD


And it's nice to see more people entering


Now that my new computer is more or less set up, I have some more time to keep working. Been rough with all hospital visits along with work and drawing and building computers X_X

*snip* Aww, thanks! ^_^

I just got around to watch your video, with sound on.
You sing really nice! It was very interesting to see how your process of drawing goes. Your commentary was interesting to listen to, and fun.

Very good job!

Oh and I had to laugh at being solo-singing-cover rickrolled ^_^
I also like your Lady Gaga cover video

Today is the 21st (new picture upload, winter solstice, lunar eclipse, darkest night in hundreds of years.... must be my birthday!), so here is the next piccie

This one hurt my inflamed hip the most, but fortunately you can't see that

To me, when ritualists dance, it looks like they're having so much fun. I thought a dance pose in the snow would convey that she has fun there

@Minami: Looks great! I hope the background is photoshopped in though; if it's not that would be one very cold and dangerous photo shoot .

I live in Texas, we don't get snowy scapes like these very often
Original backgrounds include brown fences and white garage doors

Minami it's all so amazing! Excellent photoshopping, and the dance pose is really awesome, projects all the fun she's having.
The tatoos are SO AMAZING! Jeez, your sis/mother are really something to write home about...especially the hands...how in the name of Dwayna did you manage to do that? o.O
*cry slightly* No mystical green glows? XD Naah they wouldn't realy...work...well...if that makes sense....Oh and in the first bit, why is the photoshnow only covering your stomach/hands, while the head and lower skirt is totally ...not snowy? =o
Otherwise it's epic!

Our rollercoaster is like, 90% done. Were finishing it for sure tomorrow (finishing touchs/clean up) so ill get back to work on the jingle bears. Im currently working on finishing the foreground rocks, then I'm gunna head to the chest. (might get to finish the rocks tonight; depends if i can keep focused). I also borrowed my dads camera, its better quality than mine by far so I'll try and get more photos up.
The rollercoaster took literally like 13 hours to make Dx its good to be done.

Looks amazing Zidane, very nice details and overall fantistic. I have a feeling you definitly be a winner at Anet's contest.

I like the ''mouse'' reference that the Charr always say against humans. And the mice being Gwen and Thackeray, no?
