I'm good thankyou, how are you?

Dimitri Bloodbane 03-13-2010 12:53 AM

@TK: Hmm, I suppose that is a bit steep. Of course, most of the stuff that I'm looking at getting cost more than that. :p

I'll be happy to let you see them as soon as I'm finished. Shouldn't take too much longer to finish up the second one. Then I need to figure out my DA account. :ninja:
*has only been using my DA account to view other people's art up until this point* :sweat:

ToriKat 03-13-2010 12:57 AM

@zea: I'm doing alright! Had an easy night at work. ^^ Just unwinding right now.

@Ultima: I recommend getting the Bamboo: Bamboo Pen & Touch
It's better for a beginner. ^^ I got the Graphire forever ago because I wasn't sure whether I'd like doing art digitally. Ended up loving it. And it saves me from dishing out tons of money on constantly buying art supplies. Now I feel like I want to upgrade. >_> I like working on larger surfaces. 3x4 is cramping my style! xD

edit: And I only recommend Wacom because that's the only brand I've ever seen in stores or had any experience with. This site lists the other brands that are out there: http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/abo...stablets_3.htm

I've used GIMP ^^~
I downloaded so many brushes onto it it take like, 5 minutes to load. XD

I went to see Alice in Wonderland today ^^~

Oooh. tablets o; I don't know anything about them XD

ToriKat 03-13-2010 01:01 AM

Hey cutie! :D How'd you like Alice in Wonderland? I keep hearing mixed reactions from it...

I need to give GIMP a try. xD

Dimitri Bloodbane 03-13-2010 01:01 AM

@TK: ...3x4? As in 3"x4"? That's tiny! I'm used to surfaces the size of a sheet of paper (8"x11.5"). I'm not sure I could work with a surface that small :sweat:

ToriKat 03-13-2010 01:02 AM

*nods* Yup! That's how small my drawing surface is on my tablet. I've had to deal with it. xD That's why I'm eying the large tablet...

Dimitri Bloodbane 03-13-2010 01:06 AM

Ok, I finished the second pic. Now I just need to scan them into my comp and then figure out DA...

Wow, I don't know how you do it, hon. I don't think I could. :sweat:

x-cutie-x-pie-x 03-13-2010 01:07 AM

Hey Tori ^___^~
It was alright xP"
The effects and stuff were really good, but you could kinda predict what was gonna happen. x]

I abandoned GIMP for Paint.net. XD"
GIMP's got tooo many buttons @[email protected]"

ToriKat 03-13-2010 01:08 AM

@Ultima: Can't wait to see them. ^^ If you need help, just ask. xD
You just draw a little bit, then move the window over...lather, rinse, repeat.

@cutie: Ah...figured. Did you see it in 3D?
Paint.net? Heard of it, but I haven't looked into it.

x-cutie-x-pie-x 03-13-2010 01:20 AM

Tori; Yes, in 3-D ^^~
There were some really good parts in 3-D, but the rest was pretty much 2-D. XD
You should ^^~ Its free to download :3

I'm gonna go now, have to get up for chinese school in 8 hours =w=" ♥
Nice talking to you Tori! ^___^ ♥

sorry for late reply aswell, i just realised I was like, 1O minutes off O____O"

Dimitri Bloodbane 03-13-2010 01:34 AM

Jeez, so many catagory selections... :roll: *click, click, click, click......*
What the hell is "Oekaki"? O.o

--EDIT--

Ok, I seem to have my DA gallery set up. Or at least started. You can see the pics I was talking about in my DA gallery.

ToriKat 03-13-2010 01:54 AM

Have a good night, cutie! :D

@Ultima: Oekaki is drawings done on online forums. So instead of us typing posts, you draw a picture, post it, and others can comment on it. I used to be obsessed with them. xD Then my favorite community dissolved. *misses it* D:

Dimitri Bloodbane 03-13-2010 01:55 AM

Ahh, ok. Well, I doubt I'll be using that very much, but who knows? Anyway, I uploaded those pics on my DA Gallery (posted the link in my previous post).

ToriKat 03-13-2010 02:06 AM

I tried getting into oekaki again, but I always have to multitask or do other things. So it's nearly impossible for me to do art in one sitting. @[email protected]

Ah, they look good! The coloring isn't bad, silly. :) I'm not sure what you thought you messed up on!

I'm STILL actually really flattered you asked me for advice.

Dimitri Bloodbane 03-13-2010 02:12 AM

Well, the colors on on the pic for Aryah (violet and black) seemed to be too close in color and were... merging together (for a lack of a better term). So I was worried that they weren't going to be distinguishable between the two. Thankfully, that doesn't seem to be the case.

*lol* I value your opinion, since you're such an awesome artist. Of course I'm going to ask you for advice and opinions. I just wish I had remembered to give you props for your help on those pics. :sweat:

I'm glad you like them and are impressed with them. Maybe I'll make one for you, too (if I can get another idea for an outfit, that is). Any suggestions? ;)

ToriKat 03-13-2010 02:21 AM

Ahhh, I see. Did you use colored pencils?

Pfft. No need to credit me. ;D *hugs* I'm here to help whenever you want it!

Oo! I has ideas. xD Let me get some references? They're a challenge if you're up to it? ;D


Dimitri Bloodbane 03-13-2010 02:25 AM

Yep, colored pencils and paper (man, I live in the stone ages :XD ). Crayolas, as a matter of fact :sweat: Aryah and I found a set that we want to get, though. A set of 132 colors for $106.00 :sweat:

And I appreciate every bit of help you give me. :hug:

Sure! I look at it as a method to better my art. :yes:

ToriKat 03-13-2010 02:29 AM

*laughs* I love colored pencils. Prismacolors are amazing to work with. My hands just get tired when coloring. Technology really makes me lazy...

I hope you get those colored pencils! :D

Dimitri Bloodbane 03-13-2010 02:36 AM

*lol* That's actually the name of the company that makes the colored pencils that Aryah and I want to get. And we'll definitely get them, I'm just not sure yet when we're going to put in the order (probably some time soon since they're on sale right now and I don't know how long the sale will last... :ninja: )

Do you have those references together yet? :)

ToriKat 03-13-2010 02:38 AM

I reckoned you were going for Prismacolors. I couldn't think of another brand with colored pencils that expensive. xD Where are you ordering them from?

How about this dress? ;D A challenge yet simple compared to other stuff I've been looking at? *nudges* Would you be willing to draw an OC?

Cotton Red Ruffles Lolita Dress $72.99 Free Shipping - wholesale Lolita Dresses - wholesale Lolita Clothing - Milanoo.com

Dimitri Bloodbane 03-13-2010 02:47 AM

Eh, I don't really remember the name of the site off-hand. But, it's in the suggestions and tips thread that you started in the art discussion forum. The post was made by Nightshade1988, I believe.

That's a nice looking dress. :yes: It doesn't look too complicated. I might have a bit of a problem matching the color though, since I'm limited on the shades of red in the colored pencils that I currently have... :sweat: I'll certainly give drawing your OC a shot. You have references for her/him? And, did you want your avi drawn in that dress, or the OC?

ToriKat 03-13-2010 02:51 AM

Ah! Okay. xD *goes to look*

Oh, it doesn't have to be the same color. :3 Just the design? And if you could draw Melani in it pleaaaaase? *^*

*luffles*

Dimitri Bloodbane 03-13-2010 02:57 AM

Sure, I'll give it my best shot. ^.^ Let's see here... It appears that she has large breasts. I'm guessing DD? And she seems to be the shy type? Is that correct?

Any requests on a pose or anything else for the pic?

ToriKat 03-13-2010 03:01 AM

Eeee! Yay! *tackleglomps* xD

lol, I have no idea. 8D SURE?

The story behind her is that both of them are actually computer geeks. She's kind of a tomboy. And I forgot what happened in the story, but that scene is basically where she tried to be girlier for him. So cliche....I know, I know.

You can do whatever you want. xD I don't want to limit you. ;D Thaaaank you!
