The heat from the tea is helping the swelling but I'm not going to even try to say a word until the tea is all gone....

New waist line and some dithering...

trying to remember what xuvvie said last time about dithers - don't change the shape, the space between the dithers and next color, etc

xuvrette 01-22-2013 12:09 PM

I prefer the so call Vege crackers...
DX it is salty enough to my picky taste buds.

What is Iroro busying?

Maria-Minamino 01-22-2013 12:10 PM

The only crackers we have right now are the ritz crackers that are buttery...so not so good for nausea but they still help. Salteens are the best - just plain crackers with a bit of salt on them!

Iro - I understand getting busy - real life is going to kill me come april/may XD

xuvrette 01-22-2013 12:22 PM

The shadow side could use some more dither, and the light part can add a line of shade, currently it looks toooo bright as if it is a reflective object. Should always use darkest 2 shades for outline and very very minimal times you would use the darkest 3.

Maria-Minamino 01-22-2013 12:29 PM

okay - tried adding a bit more dither and something to break up that solid color XD Fixed the lines a bit too - I did the shading of those months and months ago - needed fixing XD

xuvrette 01-22-2013 12:33 PM

Wow you work pretty fast. That crease at the middle is logical.
I think you can darken the lines and also shade a bit on the left side belt down to the skirt, as if the arm is casting a shadow to it. viewer's left side.

Maria-Minamino 01-22-2013 12:45 PM

I try to work fast XD

I added some shading there as though the arm was casting a shadow....

You would less likely have horizontal crease near the belt. It is mostly horizontal.
If you want to add notable crease/fold/seam, there are always two vertical seam that goes down around one quarter of the skirt.

This reference go all the way down to the hem though. Up to you.

Maria-Minamino 01-22-2013 01:05 PM

oh man - I tried it and it looks terrible:

I tried the lines in a billion different ways D:

xuvrette 01-22-2013 01:07 PM

Like I say, DON'T go all the way down, just stop at one quarter.
The image I show is to let you know where the seams are positioned.

Maria-Minamino 01-22-2013 01:09 PM

So more like this:

because I like this a billion times more XD

xuvrette 01-22-2013 01:13 PM

Yes.
Besides, the reason of your previous attempt does not work because the seam didn't follow the curve, it is pretty straight and stiff, colour is very dark too. You should shade it.
Above advice could also work on your shorter seam, which is pretty dark. and should curve a bit.

Maria-Minamino 01-22-2013 01:18 PM

with the longer one, I tried it angled, straight, inbetween XDDD

I will try shading the seams with the shorter one and make them curve slightly

okay xuvvie - I tried to lighten the area up:

This is going to be my last update for now - going to go lay down...feeling ill still D:

xuvrette 01-22-2013 02:08 PM

the seams shouldn't curve inward, they should curve outward, following the butt shape. XD

You certainly need more rest.

hummy 01-22-2013 11:53 PM


have a good rest, Maria-minamino.
feel better in the morning.
