Raining

fleeting_memory (Feb 12, 2004)

It's raining, it's pouring;
The old man is snoring.
Bumped his head
And he went to bed
And he couldn't get up in the morning.

Rain, rain, go away;
Come again another day;
Little Johnny wants to play.

Got some nice curtains now, I see^^.Um, about the ripples, I think they could be more definite.I think right now, I can barely make them out so you might want to make it more visible first, and go from there.Improvements being added are helping with every revision^^.Looks very nice.

drat I keep seeing things that I want to fix but I shall call it done-I like this whole nurshery rhyme thing-which one should I do next?

Gigandas (Feb 15, 2004)

Stupid computer.....I did submit a comment after version 6, but somehow didn't post><....well, anyways I said that you did a great job taking my advice in this^^.I like all the details you added that some people might've missed when drawing this picture such as the hand marks on the window, the rain drops rolling down the sides of the window, the ripples in the water from the rain hitting the water, etc.I have to say you did a great job overall^^.Can't wait to see what you come up with next^^.

This is great work, I would like a printed copy.:) You can tell you poured yourself into it.:) I took a look at the other one , Yours is better. The other casket is brown and boring, yours is more decorative .:)

The Blues

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 11, 2004)

Wanted to do something in a bluish sepia, and to practice some things that are really hard for me (like hands). Obviously, I still need more practice. Thought the velvet, leather and lace would be interesting and fun to do. Thanks for the playground space, Marcello. :)

p.s. it's arigatou-gozaimasu (?????????)

ToraNeko (Feb 5, 2004)

Opps, ya rioght, I did swich the vowels, But I dyslexic, I sorry >.< But you could spell it Alig.. or Arig.. Because, as I'm sure you know, there is no L or R, just a blend of the two. so when it comes to these situations, I like to put both the L and the R.

Oh, And I'm half Japanese, not an Asian wannabe as some people seem so apt to call me...

marcello (Feb 7, 2004)

Well, I updated it, doesn't seem to have helped though...

PinkuEspeon (edited Feb 14, 2004)

Hmm... I'm sorry... I really like this image as the way it is now, also... ah hah hah! I get on my b/f's nerves by calling him Tsuki instead of Tsukasa! ^_^!! It's sooo funny! He blushes when I call him that! :D Don't ask... I'm weird... and bored... and, everyone knows that tsuki means moon and that taiyo means sun... right? Right.

Winter Tree

zorb (Feb 10, 2004)

Well, this is my first image with this tool and on this site, so I decieded to start with something simple to draw - a tree in winter, no leaves, just a bit of shading. Its far from perfect and I think I'd like to tinker with it some more.

lookin good so far...i know youre not done...but wont the branches make a shadow too?

foxman8245 (Feb 13, 2004)

Depending on where the sun is in the picture, the shadows of the branches might not be visible on the pic.

zorb (edited Feb 14, 2004)

hmmm well I can't revise the pic. It was too large to edit. I didn't merge the layers before saving because then I would not have been able to touch up the pic properly. Foo.

Somehow the layers (which I only used 5 of) or maybe the image dimensions, made the image too big for me to edit it again. If it was the layers then thats pretty sad, as five is a pretty dinky number of layers for it to cause a problem with re-editing. I'd understand 20 or even 12, given how many layers a serious pic can take in Paint Shop Pro or any other tool like that.

I guess I will have to do all my pics in one session from now on, which means drawing *very* little (say one pic every 3 months or so if I'm lucky), as I have a life that takes me away from the computer every few minutes (child, housework, disabled wife). Oh well. It was nice for a while. I guess I'll just browse other peoples work.

I understand the need for size contraints on saved images, so I guess I'll have to stick to drawing at home on PSP most of the time. So much for learning tis cool new tool.
