Artist's Comments

[link] ...you'll see I just couldn't resist. ^^; The whole 'stop at the sketch thing' doesn't work so well around me and a scanner. Once it's in the computer, it's fair game for colouring. :plotting:

Ah well. I'll write up more later, but I've really got to run now! :D

(~Chief-Icy-Sunset's character Brandeis)

Note 1: This pic is calibrated for my old monitor, which tends to be a bit darker than the flat screens of today. If this looks too weird on your screen, try darkening he brightness a bit.

I was flipping through my pile of updates a little fast and totally missed this one. >>;;; ( Buy hey, extended DA absences makes for a looot of missed updates. )

However, I saw the sketch and thought to myself 'Hot damn, that looks a whole lot like an upside-down Brandeis. Who the hell is drawing the scrawny little 'tard?' xD; *blonde moment*

Anyway, I'm always jealous of your mad coloring and the effects you can do. He looks great! <3

Why is it, why I ask you, that you keep drawing things that I *want* to draw, but have no time?

Fan art, design your own tattoos, and now dragons?!

Darn you to heck, to heck with you I say!!

But very, very nice work too. I really like it :floating:

Have you ever thought about your line weights? I get out of jail free by making all my lines thin, but you could get a lot out of these by strategic thinning and thickening, y'know?

The only thing I've noticed that's consistently interfering with your work (it's not a down side, as such, because your style fits in with it so well) it's the fact that some of your work comes off very heavy and dark even when it's supposed to be light. And it's down to the fact that your lines are quite heavy and darken the colour that you apply to the piece.

Were it me, I'd try thinning in places where lines finish and where they outline a longer area of shape (like the edges of arms) all you'd have to do would be to take an eraser to them on the digital.

But the work is beautiful nonetheless, and still I get the urge to draw dragons again...

Anyway, FN!

Oooo, the dreaded + 200 inbox. ^^; :faint: I've been there more times than I care to count...:XD: Glad you caught the sketch then! :boogie:

;) This time, the lines were just computer-thickened pencil lines, so I don't think that it would be worth trying it here. But I'll definitely try that on my next inked work. Thanks for the suggestion! :D

Again, your colouring adds so much to an already brilliant piece! I love the glowiness of Brandeis' reflection, and with the dark background and glow of the dragon and the fish, it gives the whole thing a nicely mystical feel.

I must admit, though, that having it as an the upside-down reflection like this does make me look a bit strange in front of my computer, even though it's a nice touch... I'm just too lazy to post it onto paint and see it in all its 'right way round' glory. :XD:

Thanks! :XD: Trust me, it doesn't actually get any better flipped around. I drew it upside down, and there are some very odd inconstancies in Brandeis's features when you right the picture...^^;
