I was watching Chamber of Secrets for the first time and was actually surprised to see Jason in the film. *laughs to self* I thought the blond hair was striking on him so I managed to scrape out this pic from an image not even half of the size I drew it from. Gotta love those chilling eyes! *shivers* :D

I just wanted to thank you for doing this picture. I've gone through the versions several times trying to learn your technique for doing hair and it's helped so much. The way you saved the versions makes this like a mini tutorial. Thank you!!

OMG hes soooooo cute..and omg..that must hurt...Reminds me of Ying and Yang alot

Cordelia_Pink (Jul 13, 2004)

lol whoa this is interesting. the subject matter is pretty 14A-ish I'd say lol since the blood and scars on his face in his reflection on the water is pretty intense. But overall it's a pretty cool pic. good job.

This is much better than animation cell quality. The shading in animation ('cell shading') is usually limited to two or three distinct shades per color. I think the kind of shading here is called 'gradient,' and to produce an animation where every frame was shaded to this kind of gradient quality would be an utterly insane undertaking. The shading in Disney movies is better than most, but still not this quality.

As for Disney itself, I have no doubt ED could get a job there. But unless you're 'the best of the best', you'll end up doing little more than drawing repetitive frames of someone else's characters to smooth out the work of the lead animators, and might not even get your name in the credits. Additionally, while working for Disney, any artwork you produce, even at home with your own utensils, belongs to Disney. I would hate for ED to work where her art would go unappreciated.

EverDream (Jul 2, 2004)

Thank you for your support Zack. I've considered working for the Disney companies long ago, but the idea of sitting constantly and repeating drawings of something someone else came up with just didn't appeal to me. You don't even get to colour them you know? Any wayz I'm shooting for one of three things, either becoming a digital illustrator, a game character designer, or tatoo artist. :D

Aubrey (Jul 2, 2004)

I like the lighting and you did the shadows of it really well! The colors are great too :-D Another great picture by Everdream.

Cordelia_Pink (edited Jul 13, 2004)

it looks OK... maybe you should take out the bright areas that are right on her face so that we can actually see her face better. lol but nice hair and eyes.

Gah! I thought I had commented on this already a long time ago. Now I must slap myself.

Okay, that being done, I must say this is fantastic, Dixie. The subject is great (I chuckle every time I see your user icon) and you did a wonderful job capturing the expression and blending the skin tones. Bravo!

I really like this XD.And Darth Maul is awesome.Everything looks good going around the picture until I run into the eyes which are just too perfectly in a football-like shape.Unless his make-up is done that way, no human eye is shaped perfectly like a football.But what the best thing on this drawing is the design on the face*eats that stuff up XD*.Nice job overall, man XD.

davincipoppalag (Feb 23, 2004)

I'm not familiar with the character..but I think this is well done... the eyes are different colors on purpose? Is that what the character has?

masamune (May 12, 2004)

I think the eye on the left is shaded because if you look the deepest shading on the right one it's the same colour.
This is great!
(And dauth Maul was a robot soooooo....go figure XD)

Cordelia_Pink (Jul 13, 2004)

I thought the actor who played this was really cool. lol But he wasn't really what I'd call THE villan in Star Wars 1. He didn't have much dialogue... more like body language and facial expressions. lol Anyhow good pic. looks just like him.
