I wasn't in your ear! I was also doing a picture: the Light House piece that took me almost three hours to submit when I only spent about 20 mins of work on it. NOW who's in who's ear? what? i couldn't hear you -- you were blocking my ear canal! ;P

Beautiful... wonderful colors, also. this sin't a slur on your ability, but i AM getting a little tired of fairies and whatnot. at least you did it well :)
EDIT: well, as for suggestions: the girl's right arm seems a little short. you could either lengthen it a tad OR make the wrist and hand slightly smaller so it looks like her arm is stretching away from the 'camera'. the rocks could be cleaned up a little, and since the sky is so red, it wouldn't hurt to add a little glow to the rocks and the clouds. the clouds could use a little touching up around the edges... the smudging looks nice, but I think you could make the clouds look even nicer if you used a very transparent brush and went over the edges of the clouds. the sky... looks great. it doesn't look natural with those smudge effects, but i like it like that...

thank you. this was my first fairy. i know they are popping up everywhere, but i had the urge to add something there, figured it was all i could add at the moment.. any suggestions???
edit: sweet! thanks for the tips. i'll fix it up when i dont work. her left arm *the arm on our right* is like behind her head, like stretching. kinda like scratching her head? lol. but thank you!! *hugs*

"based" off of or copied? anyway, it's pretty coool. With paint bbs, you have to be careful of the watercolor brush whenever you're not doing something soft. The wood areas in this look more like someone smeared grease on it's surface.

Is that blood coming from the watering pot? Scary... Nice job Sexy Zappo Pharoh Wizard! lol

Zappo (edited Aug 10, 2003)

Alright someone finally used that! I tell that to all the new people who stumblw on to chat their first day......and as for paint.....its not for me....my style isnt smooth and i like to use too many layers and colors......me and oekaki were made for eachother...were both unpredictable and no one can rely on either of us....

obsession

Aunvi (Aug 9, 2003)

Yeah um....I have this obsession with dragons so I made onde up. And I'm not done yet I need to do bg oh and yake about an hour off of that timer cause I was goofin off for a while.

edit> I only did a little bit more editing becauser the black stuff was bugging me, and I'm getting in trouble for being on the computer too long, or is it late...anyway that's all I could do for now.
edit>I only did a little and I need to draw the bg but lescaux won't let me draw on the second pic. I will try again.
edit>hehehe I also have a storm obsession, and I wonder if anyone thinks I should change the green lightning to purple. Anyone think so? or do you people like the green?

and try thinking of the dragon's roar, it is fun.

i still don't quite get lascaux...

mazi (edited Aug 9, 2003)

yep i did the same thing.. but as marcello, oh wise one showed me, you can do lineart then switch it to multiply (i think) and then put the color in under.. and your safe.

once you have lascaux, you never go back..

Turtlebuster (edited Aug 9, 2003)

I go back all the time, mazi. I like lascaux for it's unusual texture abilities, but Paintbbs is still my favorite when it comes to soft shading. Layers are easy, btw. Just use lots of them (in Lascaux you can even change the layer order by dragging a specific layer above or below another one) and when you start to get used to them, use less.

marcello (edited Aug 9, 2003)

you can change layer order in oekakibbs as well. In paintbbs, there's not much reason, heh. You can move stuff from one layer to the other, but not switch both at the same time.
turtlebuster: I'm assuming you're fully familiar with the difference between opacity and flow in lascaux? flow acts like paintbbs' (A)lpha, and opacity acts like photoshop's opacity. Actually, they added flow in photoshop 7, so it acts like that too, I suppose. :-)

Anyway, the only reason paintbbs may be different is there's a glitch in the color mixing code which causes the 'water color' tool to create some strange, almost dodge/burn style blending effects.

This is fixed in Shi-Painter, the new paintbbs, which is already coded into 2draw2 (and is very neat, I might add).
In fact, as far as basic brush tools, shi-painter is probably superior to lascaux, at the moment anyway. For example, its pen tool (equivalent of lascaux's anti-alias) works great even with really slow (mouse moving) and small detail lines. Something I have yet to figure out for lascaux, but will, eventually, hopefully... (please help!)

2draw2 will save layers on all boards, not just select. The only reason they're not supported now is because they take up space that's not recorded for the total image size.

yea... i dont get lascaux either.... but i say that thiz pic lookz really really good! the colouring iz so smooth.... ^^
