Digital Art: Dark's Dump, Yo.

[In The Darkness I Sleep]

Mhm. Well, I don't always have photoshop readily handy... but, there's this interesting free flash editor. It's alright. Photoshop is still ten times better, of course, and I would love to have a computer that would be able to survive the great amount of memory Photoshop requires to run. Pfft. But, no. I deal with what I must. I am starting to get the hang of these tools, I think... But I hate the lasso tool - it doesn't work the way I want it to. :/

Anyway, for the first two edits I just completed.... (yes, instead of going to bed and getting some rest like a sane person would do...)



and...



I ended up making two from the same image because either I'm just not awake enough, or my computer is retarded, and I could have sworn the first one I finished didn't save. And, I couldn't remember exactly what I did to the first one. A prime example why I should go to bed, seeing as the process wasn't that extraneous.

Just tell me... which you like better, mm?


Oh... and, for anyone curious... this is the editing program... http://pixlr.com/

[In The Darkness I Sleep]

Blah. Double post. Meh. I'm actually going to go to bed after I post this... last one...

[Peachie]

Wow, that program looks like photoshop, works like photoshop, but it's not photoshop! Amazing! Lol. I tested it out, and a lot of the good tools are missing though :(

I wonder how legal this is...I think that's worse than pirating the program itself, lmao. It's cool though, amazing work to put a program in a browser, my mind is blown!

But if you want something that's less strenuous and less memory hog, try gimp. I tried it a few times and I was too used to photoshop, but it's pretty good.

[In The Darkness I Sleep]

Ahh, I've tried gimp, too. It's not necessarily a bad program, but, like you... I'm just too used to Photoshop.

And... you're right. I don't know about the legalities, though, but apparently it's a widely used program, so... I guess it's not illegal? I don't know. It just feels so limiting... It's like a teaser, and only makes me want Photoshop even more.

-sigh- I miss it terribly. >>

[Sasuke]

I like the greens n.n

[MistForm]

Looks great! You better draw me a character one of these days :D

[In The Darkness I Sleep]

Ahaha xD

I don't know how to draw...

Nope. Not me. Got the wrooong person.

What d'you mean, you don't believe me!? xD Hogwash!

Weeell, alright. But, you know I do commissions now, right? :P (They don't cost that much... >>) 'Cause I'm poor and need money D: (Though no one's really commissioning me... -gloom-)

[Sasuke]

-hugs- You do commissions? Say whaaaaaat? Since when? I had no idea. o.o

Let us know your commish-rates o.o

[MistForm]

Pss, your work isn't worth my money. >_>

Nah for real, what are ze rates!?

[In The Darkness I Sleep]

O.O....
Well...
^^;;;;

Alright! I'll just copy and paste everything here from my dA journal. I need to edit some of the information anyway -has been uber lazy-

I can then either scan the image and give you the exclusive, non-watermarked version via email or, with the added cost of shipping (which I'll look into and add once I obtain the info), I can ship you a standard print.

Payments will be made through PayPal: lynnkouji [at] yahoo [dot] com [[ though I'm still not 100% certain I understand how it works xD ]]

Character(s):
Environment: genre/time frame/overall look of the world the character(s) is/are from (ex: The Naruto world could be described as action-adventure/a mixture of time-elements (past, future, and present)/technology focuses around the abilities of Shinobi)

Eyes: color, shape (if important)
Height:
Body type: slim/average/athletic/overweight
Age:
Personality/History: describe anything that would affect the character's physical appearance - such as their facial features/expression, posture, possible scars, etc. No need to be thoroughly detailed, just enough to give me the basic gist.
Pose: optional - if left blank, I get to do as I please... and I might be lazy (just being honest, here)
Clothing: what they're wearing. If it's a specific type of fabric, note that, too! Otherwise, I'll make my own decisions
Weapons: if any. I'll more than likely need a reference. If so, I'll ask
Extra notes: anything else you'd like to add

I'm... actually going to go out and look into the costs for prints and such tomorrow, if you guys really are interested. >> This makes meh happy. << I might actually be able to do something this Christmas :P (Other than eat yummy home-cooked food and draw up gift cards...>>)

[In The Darkness I Sleep]

A bunch of edits I've done, going back to... a month, or two ago. Actually, some even a year or so ago. I can't remember too clearly. But I'll add snippets of info I do remember. xD

Spoiler

The two above I did for another role-player over myspace. In fact, the majority of these are for other role-players, or for one of my role-play accounts. These are for a Rude, in case you couldn't tell. :3

Done in Photoshop CS3, at my college.

Spoiler

This is a wallpaper of sorts I created to go in the background of my Axel page like... a year or so ago. I really can't remember. :] Don't feel bothered enough to look at dates and all that shit.

Either done in Photoshop CS2 on my computer before it crashed, or in 7.0 on Jack's computer. Can't remember. But it was relatively simple.

Spoiler

I drew the original image of this and simply applied the text and rainbow gradient. Nothing special, but I liked it. xD So part one of his Christmas gift edit. :D

Done in pixlr.

Spoiler

I drew the original image of this as well. Nothing special, but I really liked the personality behind the sketch... and I thought my Demyx might like it. So part two of his Christmas gift edit. :D

Done in pixlr. [Drew in my sketchbook with either .7 or .9 lead pencil. x3]

Spoiler

Used two images to make this. xD One of the graphics I've been working on for my Squall page. I was trying to find images that fit with this picture I had in my head... but, well, I couldn't find exactly what I wanted. This is as good as it gets, without drawing it myself.

Done in pixlr, again. I hate that program though. It pisses me off. :/ -wants photoshop-

Spoiler

I don't know if I love or hate this thing, now. xD It's not bad, I guess, but it was a pain to make. More of a pain than necessary, since I didn't do much with it in actuality. But the program I was using was making things difficult by wigging out and undoing shit. -growl-

Done in pixlr.

Spoiler

I actually love this thing, man. It's my default on my Squall page. 8D The original image is right here: Clicky!, if you're wondering. I really didn't do a whole lot to it... It was already an awesome picture to begin with. :]]

Done in pixlr.

Spoiler

This one was a frickin' pain in the ass. I was trying to recolor his hair like I normally would in Photoshop, only to discover the lasso tool in pixlr suuucks. FUCK. So I had to erase all the excess and fine tune ever thing with the eraser tool. It came out alright, though >:I I made it for my Zexion page and it was my default for awhile.

Done in pixlr.

Spoiler

This one isn't all that bad, and it didn't give me too many problems. Just fiddling around with stuff. Also for my Zexion page.

Done in pixlr.

Spoiler

I friggin love the cosplay picture I used and had been wanting to use it for flippin forever. So I finally did. 8] The end result isn't so bad, in fact it's my default.

Done in pixlr.

Spoiler

This one pissed me off. >.< Mainly because pixlr was being a PAIN IN THE ASS as far as the text was concerned. Not to mention, I made a typo initially and had to erase what I did and redo it e.e As in. I didn't save my layers [like a dummy] and had to open the finished piece and ERASE. Thankfully it wasn't over anything, so it wasn't too hard. But I freaked out at first because I was uber tired and in great need of sleep. xD

Done in pixlr.

[Sasuke]

Oh man, those pictures of Squall..I must try to find those! What did you do to find them? They're adorable! Plus those edits are really good Lynn-dear!

[In The Darkness I Sleep]

Thanks Brandon! :] The Squall pictures I found on photobucket. In fact, that's generally where I find all my images. Either that, or I have friends over myspace that'll help me find things over foreign sites. @_@ They can actually read the Japanese. xDD And, while I'll be taking Japanese, this computer doesn't even support it. I need to update this thing. I've just been lazyyy.

You'd be amazed at what you can find on Photobucket, though. I usually only need to go to friends for, like, Luneth images. I CAN'T FIND ANY GOOD ONES. ;o; Final Fantasy III wasn't all that popular, though, so it's understandable. All I ever find are of the blond kid in Dissidia :| I dun want them. Not for my Luneth page, anyway. Sucks because I won't have much choice, unless I do my own artwork.

[In The Darkness I Sleep]

Most recent edit. :D Pretty happy with it.
I think I might create a new thread for my drawing crap... just to keep it separate. >.< And uncluttered.

[Sasuke]

and then you could get paid. =3 Mmm. Alphonse <3

[Arcane]

Holy crud, your gallery looks cool! This inspires me to practice more on my Anime drawings.

[In The Darkness I Sleep]

^^;;
Most everything in this thread I didn't actually draw, except the Demyx and Zexion sketches...
But I'm glad you like it! >w<
