I didn't insult you^^;.And if that's how you took it, I'm sorry for the vagueness.Sometimes I say things that seem offensive, but isn't....anyways,I didn't think about the fact that the monitor could just overall be dark.So how do you make it brighter overall?But I don't wanna make it too bright or it'll be ruined for people who have a brighter screen like me.

Maybe you could duplicate the layer and set it on lighten? (is that an option, do I mean dodge?)
Or throw a layer of white over it, lower the transparency, and Light., (Or, again, dodge).

Dunno though. And it's very dark for me, too, but I have a piece of freebie-crap moniter.
Same problem I always had with TFC, actually.
Oh, well what I can see looks good ^_^.

Gigandas (edited Feb 19, 2004)

Hmm....I didn't know the transparency was permanent when you submit the drawing....I think I'll try that....thanks Harmanye^^.
Edit:Okay....I checked it out and there's that problem again that I had with Neo...we might have to hack the animation again.This time I don't know why, but I didn't touch anything and it still got jacked up.Hmm...I don't know, if you think it's worth fixing Marcello, you can help me out here, and if you choose to, thanks.

Reminds me of the Jin-Roh soldiers... the red glowing from when they are in the sewers and you could barely see the rest of their armor and stuff... great job :D

Whoa....that whole ripply thing in the bg is just waaaaaay too awesome @_@.If you change anything, whatever you do, don't touch the bg><.It seriously is too cool^^.The shadow there is also very well done.I'm seeing large improvements in your works recently dixie^^.You're awesome as well as this picture XD.

davincipoppalag (Feb 23, 2004)

I like the bg too.. looks like a reflection on a shimmering swimming pool..

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 23, 2004)

This is radical, Dixie. The background is awesome, and I like the shape of those ribbon things. Just keep it up! :)

dixielandcutie (Feb 24, 2004)

Krystiana (Feb 23, 2004)

Something to try and jumpstart my brain. I need to draw again. -_-

This didn't turn out as scary as I planned. This just looks like a twisted Mr. Burns to me. I want to draw something scary. *grooowl*

very cool bg...hehe, and that expression is priceless

Gigandas (Feb 23, 2004)

Umm....if you wanna draw something scary or close to it, if you know what Magic the Gathering is and look at some illustrations by Jesper Myrfors for the black cards, there's some pretty creepy stuff there."Pestilence" and "The Fallen," are scary looking.The Pestilence pic for example, has a diseased looking bald kid who has grayish skin with dark purple, blue, and greens spotted all over his body wearing a rag.He also has drool coming off his sharp teeth with deformed gums along with dark beadie eyes.

strangeoid (Feb 9, 2004)

It looks like a collage out of fur and wood and stuff... but maybe that's just me. I like it. ^___^

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 15, 2004)

Yep, "texture" is what I was thinking. This is awesome - very original. And the otter is so cutesie! Love ya, Dixie:)

Cute^^.She really does look lost in her thoughts XD.Good you are actually one of those people who can actually make the title match the picture^^.I like how you also added some designs to the bed there.Very nice^^.Keep the creativity flowin' XD.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 15, 2004)

Hey, Dixie, I like this one. Did a good job on the skin tones and hair and stuff! Yay!

DinoFlorist (Feb 15, 2004)

Yeah, I agree. I think it is the best one you've made so far!

Kiesume (Feb 23, 2004)

Gigandas (Feb 22, 2004)

Dixie's right though.Your turtles ARE cool^^.lol, dba...a girlfriend XD?Like April or something?Or more like another turtle added to the gang being a pink turtle or something?And her weapon can be a bow, kinda like your weapon of choice :).

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 22, 2004)

Yes, what a great idea! A pink turtle girlfriend with a purple bow! (one of my tournament bows is neon purple) Okay, Laurael, cough it up! Pink turtle time!

davincipoppalag (Feb 22, 2004)

This is cute.. but.. since those fellas are daring.. the girlfriend should be a snapper!..A pink snapper ..and her weapon is her beak!

laurael (edited Mar 24, 2004)

A 'pink' turtle...a purple bow...and a 'snapper'? Two out of three wouldn't be bad...lol. Okay...but I ain't promising nothing....(it's the pressure thing...hehe...)
