XDD We sound like grifters.

Ise 09-15-2009 09:57 PM

xD; Admittedly, yes...

Ceridwen_Crystaline Ikoda 09-15-2009 09:59 PM

>o> I think the outfits don't help.

Any idea how to throw a little bit more yellow accents? I already have like, fifteen things on my feet.

Ise 09-15-2009 10:24 PM

xD; I kinda like my avi the way it is now. I think it's the mohawk? XD

Uhn.. not without screwing up the current layers, no. =/ When I try stuff like that on my own avis I wind up rearranging the whole damned thing.

Ceridwen_Crystaline Ikoda 09-15-2009 10:27 PM

I love the mohawk. XD

That's my problem. I love this avy as I never play with layers normally. D: But when I add any yellow it takes out the other colours. I'm pleased that it got a nine in the rate thread, when it really only deserves a seven. XD

Ise 09-15-2009 10:29 PM

xD If it was me personally, I'd try to nix the yellow as it's only at the head. Also, the purple ribbon on the skirt is much deeper than the rest. But that's my nitpicking. My avi is currently far from balanced either. Kinda just not caring? XD

:works on tango sketch again:

Ceridwen_Crystaline Ikoda 09-15-2009 10:31 PM

I'll remove the ribbon. XD What do I do with the head then, though~?

I should be working on art for the portfolio layout... *sigh* But I want to write and Matt won't be back until nearly midnight. ;~;

Ise 09-15-2009 10:34 PM

The ribbon the flowers on the hat? Short of that, it's a matter of messing with the hair color I think.

So write. If you're in a bad mood for it, you'll only frustrate yourself more with the art. There are times to push it and times not to.

Ceridwen_Crystaline Ikoda 09-15-2009 10:37 PM

I can't remove the flowers on the hat. >: T'is why I made the hair yellow to begin with, to help with them. XD

*nods* I have like, eight hundred plots in my head that need his help, and he has no time. It sucks.

I like where we're at though, sort of a high-drama second act.

Ise 09-15-2009 10:39 PM

Damn XP Hn.. I'd say a tophat and the teal bandana to replace it, but I'm not sure ho9w much of the bandana will show and it might ruin the effect.

x3 Sounds like fun. I'm enjoying a new RP with a new partner. Been a long time since I could say that. Waiting for her to come back on to ask if we can continue tonight.

Ceridwen_Crystaline Ikoda 09-15-2009 10:49 PM

XD I gave up putzing with it, so 'm gonna go back for now and game a bit to buy something to mess with. My invo is so limiting. D: And I didn't see anything in headworks that would work, unless I put the dark purple ribbon back and equip ayumui's purple bow, or I find a way to make the yellow accents work. meh for now. Meh. XD

Oh~? What's that like? X3

Ise 09-15-2009 10:52 PM

Lol, I've spent two hours putzing to try and get an avi right before. It's a royal pain in the ass. xD;;; That's why I just kind of gave up. My inventory feels limited, as ridiculous as that sounds. I keep making shit that looks the same.

Eh, I have an annoying thing about liking to keep RPs to myself unless permission is given oo;;;

:looks up where peacocks are indigenous to and what plants are there:

Ceridwen_Crystaline Ikoda 09-15-2009 10:53 PM

If yours is limiting, I should just quit altogether.

*noddeth*

Mreh... I like working and fleshing it all out story style with Matt, but we have a bad habit of going off and starting new off-shot plots and not continuing the others. *sighs*

Ise 09-15-2009 10:55 PM

xD; I just get bored with it I suppose. It looks like I have a lot of items, but when you consider how many of each color I start wind up making similar avis because of the color combinations and all.

It's just something fun for me to de-stress on. ^^

xD;; Yeah, that happens a lot. Jace and I haven't really continued much in recent months, either.

Ceridwen_Crystaline Ikoda 09-15-2009 11:06 PM

*nod* Fair enough. I know my avies tend to look all the same right now. XD

*nodnod*

Yeah, this is the first we've even touched it since about May...? *head/desk* We only started up again because all our rps come in scenes. Visions, moments, or dreams that come to me and demand to be written out. Lately I've been plagued with sad dreams (also with a level of sexuality to them that comes with the double-edged sword of our cats). For the last week+ I've rolled out of bed EVERY NIGHT to jot down sketches of images that kept flashing in my eyes, excerpts that suddenly hit on me, or hell, I even storyboarded one moment because it was so vivid and painful the other night ~_~.

Ise 09-16-2009 12:05 AM

:flops: Sorreh... had to tend to the kids and get them in bed. Bowling started again for dad.

EDIT: new tango WIP scan I forgot to do the other night last week. Still sucks -3-;

Ceridwen_Crystaline Ikoda 09-16-2009 01:04 AM

Very sexy... <3

Ise 09-16-2009 01:09 AM

Hopefully a far cry from the original faceless WIP sketch -3-;; :tries to ignore her retarded little thumbnails at the top:

Ceridwen_Crystaline Ikoda 09-16-2009 01:12 AM

I noticed the thumbnail. XD I like it a lot. <3

Ise 09-16-2009 01:22 AM

>>;; I've tried to get back into using them. Ronnie always harped on me for not doing them, lol.

Ceridwen_Crystaline Ikoda 09-16-2009 01:23 AM

I try using them, but they don't help me nearly as much as 'd like them to. xD Or I just suck.

Ise 09-16-2009 01:29 AM

Eh, it's more just the thought process, really. I tend to do damn near flow charting with 'em if I really get into it xD;; I'll sit there with an idea or phrase and write it at the top of the paper, and I'll do a row of five or six things that could create that composition. From there I'll pick the one I like the most and start to refine it by trying it with different styles, different viewpoints, different schools of art, different media etc. It can help, you just have to know how to use it to your advantage.

I'm just lazy xD; Mine now are more to map out where I want bg elements. >.>;

Ceridwen_Crystaline Ikoda 09-16-2009 01:32 AM

Which I don't. XD~

I'm allergic to backgrounds. >: *paws at talent again*

They would rape me in art school, huh?
[

Ise 09-16-2009 01:43 AM

Lol, I'm allergic to them too. But I'm trying to push my way through that. >>;

Eh, I don't think so. They helped me grow at my own pace. No one pushed super hard for me to do detailed bg, it was careful insistence.

Ceridwen_Crystaline Ikoda 09-16-2009 01:50 AM

You have any background pieces you're particularly proud of? Like that one with the wisteria, I believe it was? :3
