Yup, I'm opinion/critique seeking again. I did a lot of things different with this one (I actually drew it with the computer, for one) so I want to know what all I did wrong. Or, ya' know, right.
If ya' want to see it as it show up on the site, it's at http://beastling.xepher.net/PE/extras.php
It's the only thing in the Extras Page right now, so I doubt it'd be hard to find...
wow that's really good!
How did you draw it on the computer? Mouse or Tablet?
Yeah, major improvement.
I drew it with the mouse using spline curves. I don't have a tablet. All the shading, coloring, and whatnot was done with the mouse, as well.
Major improvement? How so?
Awesome mousework, still.
I think he was talking about you normal color penciling. It's not a matter of Improvement to me (if that is what he is talking about) just a medium difference, and I can certainly see the the recognizable stylings as well.
I think that's really cool (and really cute), especially considering you don't have a tablet. I found a super cheap Wacom tablet for about $80 that I've been thinking about getting because I want to try making my own fonts/brushes. Obviously, this will require more thought for me, but maybe it's something you'd want to check out? I've heard that it's a lot easier from my artist friends.
I dunno...I still sketched it out with pencil and scanned that as a (very basic) guideline set. I doubt a tablet would really help me. Maybe someday, if I ever actually have a disposable income (or even an income at all) I'll look into it.
Since this takes longer than penciling...I'll probably not switch anytime soon. I might do more PE work on the computer, though. I did enjoy this, and for just 4 hours of work...it's a lot faster (and less smelly) than drawing with Sharpies.
Layers are great.
