spine/dark scrapper - pick your favorite of her costumes

heh, cool idea, never thought of getting a fanart of a fan of a char.

Cross Dresser

I recommend commissioning him. great prices and easy to work with. He's making me a figurine now.

i haven't forgotten, but still in process of moving. may not be able to get much done

hate to tell you this lacry, but I recently planned an I11 build and am 4 IOs away from having it completed. When that's done I'll update the guide. In my new build I dropped conserve power and took throw spines and was immediately mad at myself for not trying it earlier.

Spine/DA is certainly good without it, but it does add to its overall kill speed significantly.

awesome work and style

Radiant Angel

Toga! Toga! Toga!

Question 1:

example

First I created a flats layer. This layer has only single colors on it, without any depth or shading. For that picture, it had primarily red, an almost black grey and the peach color for face.

In order to shade I create another layer for shadows. I select the black color and a brush. Set opacity to 10-20% and flow to 20%ish as well. Then I vary the brush size to fill in areas with shadow. When they need more shadow brush over it multiple times. I never vary the shade of the black used, it's always pure black. You can see how it's kind of shaded in layers on the left side of the arm.

The exact same is done for highlights on another layer. Just use white instead and the same style of work with low opacity and low flow. Then layer on more and more white until it gets the good shine, depending on how leathery of a feel you want. You can see how I layered alot onto the mask, but not near as much on the face.

If you get a bit too much shine or shadow, don't fret. Make your eraser really big, lower its opacity and click a few times in the area until it has the right look.

Afterwards I might blur it slightly to make it look more fluid.

Can't help ya on question two, i'm stuck with a mouse.

It'd probably be easier to convey smoke being blown off the finger with a profile shot of her

I would normally but I'm going to be moving to a new city this week so if you're still up for it when I get settled in that could work.

"When the Circle of Thorns realized that Duke Manlyname was a threat, they removed his soul and placed it into an emerald to keep him from ruining their plans. However, during an effort to save the unwitting citizen by a group of inexperienced heroes, the emerald was broken and Duke's soul went into the nearest body without one. That body had previously belonged to Shrouded Quill, a spine/dark armor scrapper whom had had her soul removed too. With his soul now trapped in the body of another, Duke chose the name Cross Dresser to signify his situation and uses his hosts abilities to fight and find his way back to his old self."

As far as personality, she's really reckless, aggressive, first to jump into a fight even before making sure her team is ready. very nice to friends though, positive attitude, just can't stand any enemies.

do what you want with her, just no sexuality please, i don't see her that way

do you have a link to punkgutu's page or info or w/e to contact about getting my own statuette made?

my third costume is a tricolor

i was going to say "as long as they're not ____ cookies, they are" but i couldn't think of a cookie i didn't like.

with each new piece i do i try to learn a new element of art. This time around was inking and better shading. Haven't really tried hair yet.

And thanks for all the nice comments. Now i'm having trouble thinking of something awesome to draw to outshine this.

Hi! I too recently restarted arting! welcome back

awesome!

need to bring the eyes down and inwards some. an easy way to figure out how wide ot put them is that the distance between the eyes is about the same length as the width of an eye

hungry teens really uppreciate icecream

the fact that appreciate is spelled wrong will be memorable as well, so not a big deal

I'd like a PM too about his pricing etc.
