If this doesn't kill the theme board, nothing will. I have this pic scanned to my files, but don't know how to make a link to here... There is a black and white version of this picture @ www.dba.schauk.com . Have to scroll through the first two pics- it's the third.

Oh...don't say that! For an attempt at portraitry...(especially if you're not used to such work) this is really good! You got the proportions of your face down right, it just looks so soft and pastel like. I like it DBA and with a little more practice (that is if you're up to it) You can get really good at faces! Greak job!!! XD

wired lookin scenery on those other pics.... is that deer thing dead?

Cobra (Feb 27, 2004)

Wow! DBA what a beautifully talented artist you are, your work is always a joy

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 28, 2004)

No, sal, I asked the deer really nicely to lie down and be still for the picture. Yeah, they usually get dead when I put an arrow through their heart. Thanks for the nice comments, ya'll.

I'm not sure, but I think he probably did less detail on the body because the focus should be on the face, hand, and butterfly. I like it this way. It brings your attention directly to the point of focus.

marcello (Feb 20, 2004)

I didn't say there was anytihng wrong with less detail/focus on the body, I'm just saying it doesn't have the same feeling as the head and hands. you can still keep something out of focus while fitting with the style/level of finish of the rest of the piece. Take his left arm for example.

Pantera (Mar 25, 2004)

wooooohooooooo, love it the detail averything about it, you know what I would like to see you do??? a black Pantera, their are my favorite wild cat :)

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.

Harmanye (Feb 19, 2004)

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.

Enishi (Feb 24, 2004)

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

First of all, glad you got your pic back.And second, it's definitely another great piece completed by you^^.Somehow, your drawing remind me of the oil painter Thomas Kinkade....

DinoFlorist (Feb 16, 2004)

This is a good picture! '____' I would hang this on my wall, and not much goes on my wall unless I draw it myself. I really like the glow of the house reflected on the snow, as well as the whole purple tone.

foxman8245 (Feb 16, 2004)

I guess I should have mentioned that the foreground is actually a view from another far-out-distant planet, which your standing on.

Harmanye (Feb 16, 2004)

Oooh, Okay, then, got it ^^;

It looked slightly like cheese an ketchup and mayonnaise and hamburger... seriously.

foxman8245 (Feb 16, 2004)

........... with some wilted old lettuce.. huh? LOL

laurael (Mar 4, 2004)

Isn't it great to use red? I like both of those planets...sci-fi looking.

OOO DATS PURTTY!!! i like the creek, i think the moon could b a bit brighter tho. ummm i forgot wat i was gonna say...o yea! i like the cloud!!

davincipoppalag (Feb 15, 2004)

yes.. the sky around the moon seems to have some light and theres a moonglow on the hill line..so the moon should be a bit brighter... I like simple..( I can never manage to keep my pics that way..)..

foxman8245 (Feb 16, 2004)

Yeah... tried to correct that but i've reached my 200kb max for this drawing...

laurael (Mar 4, 2004)
