Finally, something with shadows and highlights...
I spent about 3 days working on this. I thought it was a cute idea, and I wanted to colour it (decently...), so I inked it (and I hate inkng with a passion). and then I scanned it, neatened it up, and coloured it using both Photoshop6 and Paintshop Pro 7.
It really shouldn't have taken me three days, but I've got about 10 different versions of this pic in various stages of development. This is the one that won out. I fixed up the line art in PSP7, coloured it with PS6, and then used PSP7 to make the background (I was having big issues with the text boxes in PS6 ^^;;).
And it still looks like crap. Then again, this is the first piece I've shaded since... um... The Window Sitter, and I did that last May. Jeez... I gotta stop being so damn lazy. ^^;
Commentyness:
Ugh, please try and ignore the glaring shading errors. >/<;; mwar... ~Za
It doesn't look like crap! Knock it off! It's fair to say what you don't like about the work you've done, but callously bashing it isn't going to make candy come out. We all think your art rocks.
on an unrelated note, COFFEE! ~~Dog
Second that, wholeheartedly. Kickass pic... not much more to say. --Cirne
*relents* Alright, alright, so it doesn't suck. What bothers me is that it scanned crooked and that I screwed up the shading. I guess those are my only two complaints about this one. I like the snoozing cat gal better, though. ~Za
I love this piece. It's my new desktop, at least for the next week or so until I'm all like “Ooh, Shiny!” about something and then I change it, but, yeah, it's awesome. It reminds me a lot of a few people up here. ~Mysterio
^^; I'm flattered! :) ~Za
Hehe, so now you've got two people with Za-backgrounds! --Cirne
Niiiice... actually thats exactly you on caffeine! =P --X-Efficiency
