1 wasn’t intentional. But I left it, for drama.
Skye has a tablet now! I trekked to PC World at the weekend and picked up a Bamboo Wacom for £65. For some reason, the wacom tablets in schools never really seem responsive…but mine is AWESOME. I’ve been painting all week…but I’ve only come up with:
As you can see, the background is just there so it looks okay when I submit to DA (hence, DA green), it’s still very smudgy; and I haven’t uploaded the full-scale image yet. I probably wont work on it again for a little while, but it’s good to know that I can still paint realism, even with a new tool.
It’s pretty much decided now, what I’m doing for my new site layout. I haven’t done any proper sketches, but I know where I’m going with it. The gallery will be a white box, red text on black; whilst the blog is the reverse. Rico’s going to be my little mascot (the current character I just -cant- stop drawing), mostly because out of all of them; he’s both my favourite to draw/my favourite in general; and he relates to me more than any of them. (Minus the eternal life thing…but, well, we have the same opinions on that. It’s not worth the trouble. And he’s not me, as such. But it’s the minor things that I give my OCs, really.) Oh, and following this theme; my novel site (still can’t think of a domain for it) will be red b/g, white/black text and front. Not sure which way around. I’ll see which I like more from the blog/gallery look.
So I’ll probably get to work on something at the weekend…at which point; when I do my site update; I’ll upload the tonnes of stuff I’ve not been putting up on here, clean up; and sort things out by character. It makes sense to just shove all the old stuff in singular folders; but with the amount of OC art I have now, it’s rather silly…so I’m going to go ahead and sort it in the same format as my DA gallery. Trust me. It looks a LOT better.
