  1. Because I like colours but am not good with them on paper, I thought I'd give it a digital try with Paint Shop Pro 9. I actually read a "how to" book about the program and have now finally worked out how to use layers. Well the theory that is. Actually doing so is a whole other subject!
    I have a few scanned png's on my pc to use for practise.

    Here's my first tryout. Very ...VERY.. basic colouring.

    I still need to learn more about using layers and the right colours I'm afraid, to get the shading and stuff added to the drawing. Tips and Tricks are always welcome!

  2. Here's my January Art Jam scetch. A quick one of one of my chars, CloudWatcher who had waay too much to eat at the end of the year!


    His New Years Resolution...: Keep a body that will fit his very expansive custom-made suits...


    Also I want to point out that the torch for the February Art Jam will go to: the_fox_Rox !

    Let me know what you think, participants and would-be participants alike. I don't want to change the rules unless most of you think it's a good idea.
    If it means I can enter next month... I definitely won't mind .... like at all *giggles*.
    I'm not sure on how that will go with the points and stuff...
    But the rules should make sure there will be a max of 2 participants left by december, though.

    Darn! I missed the start of this! I would have entered art too if I knew! . I suppose I'll stick with voting again...though, if I read correctly there's another chance of entering in April and/or August?

    Good work people!

    Will the voting be in this topic or a new one?

  7. It's been several months now since I got a request from Cuppa_LLX. The idea was to get a kind "face off" with GI Gina and Sapphic Neko.

    I'm still not pleased with the result though.
    As I'm still very far from even being amateurly skilled with drawing programs (as you can see) I'm mostly depending on my pencilskills...

    My opinion, I've done better. But I've done worse too.
    I may keep working on it.. or retry as the idea is quite a nice one.

    Anyways, Cuppa, I hope you like though

  8. Thank you CR for that honor!

    The Jam of January, will continue here!
  9. As Christopher Robin passed on the torch to me, I hearby announce the Jam for January is opened!

    So here's the assignment for this month!
    A little predictable perhaps...


    New Years Resolutions!

    What (drunk) new years resolution(s) did your char make...or do you thínk a CoX char made... or... some char you know made...but the char can't remember he/she's made? And what would it look like if they actually worked on it? Or tried working on it... or...well whatever you come up with!

    Anything goes... just keep it clean and clothed (or at least covered for that matter) .

    I can't wait to see your ideas!

  14. Are we talking about European or American servers here?
  15. I'm not lost I just went to get some egg nog.

    oooh maaannn! You didn't! If you want a holiday from musing..just say so.. no need to get drunk first!

    Happy 2nd Christmasday everyone!

    P.S.
    Great art!
  16. Right! Pencil was picked up... But I lost my muse from the start...so here's my doodle...

    I chose two of my own Chars... Darth Delicious and Mysterious Mike, who, btw, are best friends.

    Note Dee's earring... it's a tiny christmasball!



    Merry Christmas!

  19. Here's the result of my friend's try out on colouring a CoH character.

    We chose Rushmore as I still had copies of that drawing lying around;



    Just wanna add... she coloured with Dewent colour pencils, but the paper the copy was on was not quite colouring-suitable (too smooth).

    And I couldn't find the references for this drawing so had to guess the colours.
  20. I have good news to those who care...

    I have re-opened for commissions!!!
    For prizes and rules check here

    Together with my dear friend we've decided to go for it together.
    If you want, she will colour your request!
    She's doing a test-run atm and I will post it as soon as it's done.

    (I still have 3 more freebies to work on and they will stay freebies ofcourse. Also, when I have the time and feel like it, I still will do freebies, no worries!)
  21. Happy holidays to everyone who reads this!

    May 2011 be less stressful, way more creative and have more time to express it!

    I will remember
    Personally, I always skip the bantering to keep me from getting bored and go straight to voting instead .

    But hey... even if your vote didn't count..you're always in title to an opinion! Yay!
  23. @Thornster....better late then never? *giggles*

    Gratz Shia!
    Spend your money well .
