So rose you like the Boy Bratz ;D hehe. J/K. I don't get affended. As long as you don't tell picture looks horrible. I'm kinda new here. This is my first Intermediate (phew hard spelled) picture. THe bratz dolls were kinda easy to draw so I thought they would be good training. Perhaps I draw a boy bratz next time :)

PS. I understand everyone that throw their mouses out thru their window D:

PPS Hmm the right eye looks a bit wierd and the hair looks a bit dull. I need some hair coloring help :(

just an idea I had.. was considering doing a short comic, using the Edit feature. where each edit is a seperate page of the comic.

just a few questions before I actually start that:
how many edits will this applet show in the edits list?
would that be acceptable use of edit? (seems like it might would fall under an 'edit abuse' rule or something...)

hope you enjoy what is the cover page of a possible web comic :D

You have limited space per image, and limited number of edits (currently 10), I recommend posting pages separately, rather than as edits. In v2.0 you'll be able to group images, so that should help for browsing.

this looks soooooo veeeerrrrryyyy coool. but it took me a sec to notice he was holding a gun =P

Ameraq (edited Jun 1, 2003)

Einz (edited Jun 1, 2003)

Okay, envision that line. Then envision Carol Channing saying that line.
....Yes?

Turtlebuster (edited May 29, 2003)

LOL! ya i can kinda see that! although i've only hear her 'voice' on the Simpsons, so it was probably exaggerated.

Xodiak (edited Jun 1, 2003)

he reminds me of the mighty mouse series' evil character! >:D

Turtlebuster (edited Jun 1, 2003)

unknowingly there was a crazed ex-con following turtlebuster and was just waiting for the unnexpecting protagonist (did i spell that right?) to fall out of earshot from the villagers... for the ex-con was honing in for the kill!!!! Duh-Nah!! =P lol j/k
nice pic but it seems a bit empty.... and ....... empty >.< =P

Turtlebuster (edited Jun 1, 2003)

yes... very empty indeed. not only that, it looks like the house is sitting on top of a table. i don't really know how to texture dirt very well :(

Minitsaru (edited Jun 1, 2003)

thats ok, neither do i =P but if you continue working on it you will probably get much better =D now that you mention it it does look like a table. u kno this could make a cool warhammer map =P well.... of it had more scenery that is >.<

XD thanks to some good tips from some good people, i've worked on this and made it a little more to my likeing.
1) cleaned up some 'too soft areas' so they look like rocks instead of marshmellows
2) made a brand new tree that doesn't quite look real, but i like much better.
3) worked a little on the sky for shading
i couldn't seem to lighten the shading in the back anymore than this, so i will have to make sure i do that from the start from now on.
refresh to see changes ^^

i actually did start with lineart. i then made some colored layers and deleted the layer with the line art, so as to make the picture look realistic. after all, not everything has a black outline. thx furyofroy, although i was hoping more for info on doing bark/leaves (so tough for me, considering you don't actually paint every individual leaf). XD

Kazukie (edited Jun 1, 2003)

The white stuff in the water doesn't really go with it... And uhh using the blur tool is a cheap way of doing it but.. IDK. The tree's roots look like they need to be elongated or whatever because the one kind of bluntly goes into the rock then stops... Uhh and the clouds just look like streaks. =P Sorry I still think this looks cool if you don't study it a whole lot! ^^;;;

marcello (edited Jun 1, 2003)

Ok, so I just watched your animation to get a better idea how you went about doing this. Besides the fact I think you completely overuse the smudge tool, you used it well. I personally think smudge works best with liquid substances (water, fire, clouds, etc). And in this case I'll have to disagree with kazukie, I think the water looks fine.
One general problem with this piece is while you have good local shading, you need to focus on the overall shading of the piece, from end to end. In order to give your piece more perspective, you should consider the gradual lighting from back to front, in addition to local shading.
In the case of the tree, I think you have the general idea down, and the leaves don't look terrible. Perhaps more concentration on the structure of the tree. For example, how big do you imagine the entire tree? What type of tree are you trying to draw? The shape of the base and branches will be governed by the answers to these questions.
For shading the tree, for one, I would not use smudge on the bark, it totally ruined the beginning of what could have been good shading in your animation. Again, of course, it depends on the type of tree, birch for example has quite different bark than most trees. But for a stereotypical tree (lol), I would use a combination of diffused brush, vertical strokes of good contrast, and then an overall shading from edge to edge over that.
For leaves, well, what you have isn't terrible, perhaps a little more differentiation...
Anyway, it's not really a bad piece, and the animation didn't corrupt so you could edit it further. :-)

Turtlebuster (edited Jun 1, 2003)

ooh! thanks guys :) i will try to edit this (i usually don't even bother trying since it screws up 90% of the time). i might just redo the tree completely, and definitely fix up the shading. when i was shading, i tried to darken the front and lighten the back more, but that lost somewhere along the way :(
