arisuki (Oct 18, 2010)

Going back to Oekaki was quite an "experience". I decided to brave the advanced board and put some real effort into the piece.

Then, when I was 3/4 done, some weird "shifting" thing happened that I couldn't undo. I ragequit, but then decided to go back and see if I could possibly fix it. The whole thing was at like 10% opacity and stuff was overlaid all over, but I got it looking reasonable. The original colour scheme was completely lost, though >.<

Sorry to hear the program was being bitchy. I'm glad you persevered. This is very beautiful. Wonderful modeling and shading of the facial features...really classic.

>>>what do you mean "shifting thing"

I was trying to move the entire drawing up by about 30 px, but nothing happened. Tried selecting the entire image and moving it down, and after a long pause, the whole image was shifted - at an extremely low opacity.
I ended up with "ghost" features all over the place; extra eyes, extra lips, extra nose, and I had to clone the layer and multiply it until you could actually SEE the drawing.

This was the last progress save I did on the original: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v634/arisuki/sleepingbeauty2.png?t=1287520112

the selection tools are affected by your brush settings, so if you have a low opacity, low flow, or antialiased brush, you will end up with a semi-transparent selection. Useful if you're trying to do that, not useful if you're not. :-) Your best bet is to use the move tool without selections. If that's not working, try hitting control D to force a deselect, and then try again.

end result looks great though.
