Artist's Comments

At ~GwaihirBW's request, I've gone and put together a tutorial on how I do my digital paintings, using this painting in progress as a subject. Do please take this advice with a grain of salt though: I've only been at this for a month now.

Also, does anyone know how to upload a preview image for an outsized PNG? dA's FAQs are no help.

Tools: Photoshop Elements 2, Wacom tablet, a few hours of cut-and-paste-and-type

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! D:

I must... not... correct!
GAH! I can't resist anymore.

Okay... GAH! There are so many more shortcuts that you can do. I used to color this way but years of digitalness have made me the master of quick color.

How long did this take you? An hour? More?

But no... no I won't. :) I can controll myself. ;P

Did you, um, forget to put an address in the second link, because it no worky? :$

Ooon topic, I use totally different methods to yours. :) Except the 'meh lines, I can tidy it up later' bit. I do that. A lot. So lazy.

:D

I reject your reality and substitute my own - Adam Savage, but originally Paul Bradford from The Dungeonmaster.

I accept all critique with an open ear and a grateful mind.

you forgot to mention the awesome video game music and polka that is also required for digital painting! For this travesty, I must give you fifteen lickings with a wet... noodle! *dum Dum DUM!*

Unfortunately, being a dorm student, that is out of reach of my funds. If you'd gladly pay me for a noodle, I would most oblige. And probably forget to pay you back too... but that's a good thing, trust me *jedi mind trick face*

Yes, quite a bit longer than an hour. Several actually. But most of that was tutorial assembly -- it took more work than I thought it would.

As for these shortcuts... do tell! I'd love to see 'em. *coughtutorialcough* :D

Weird... fixed, I think. No idea why it behaved like that.

Lazy rocks. :D You can still get great results with that style, heh.
