-sneaks in- Phantom is going to MURDER me... crying

I know I was gone for a really really long time and I'm really really sorry!!! Camp was working my a** into the ground, nonstop taking care of kids and trying to catch up on sleep, and I sunk into a deep depression for a while and it was really complicated. And I seem to have lost my tablet pen. I'm back home now and much less depressed, but I know I've let you all down by being absent for a whole... two weeks? xP And I'll try my best to make it up to you, and the thread.


PS. Happy late birthday Phantomkitsune!

|| Aand this thread just got 200k bigger because Artistic Licence decided she doesn't have time for more character commissions and feels like shoving something at the sleepy contest thread. :3

Always a pleasure to see your art!

[phantomkitsune]

At least you're back. I'd wondered what the hell had happened to you.

Thanks for the birthday present!

I'll kill you after my birthday shenanigans are over. Having too much fun at a waterpark now.

Artistic Licence says:

|| Hey Mika! <3 I've probably been gone longer lol. I'm doodling with my tablet for the first time in two months. surprised Somehow every time I go back to CG it turns dirty...

Always a pleasure to see your art!

Hiya AL! Right now I'm trying to figure out cell shading before possibly deviating back to soft shading (though I need a lot of figuring out to do atm since my coloring still fails x_x; ). At my experimentation stage right now while my auctions are going on. =3

Artistic Licence says:

|| I wish I still had Niy's tutorial... oh well. Here is a good tut on shading that's technically soft, but similar technique can be applied to cell shading...

Always a pleasure to see your art!

[Mikanchi]

X3 Thanks! Though since my style is still a bit wonky where I don't really know what I want to draw I've been having trouble deciding what works best and thus I don't improve much. XP Been venting my lack of imagination by drawing chibis lately XD

[JAVA mule]

Artistic Licence says:

|| How often have you been drawing recently? Cuz I just took a 2 month break where I barely drew at all and came back 5 times better.

Always a pleasure to see your art!

[Mikanchi]

Ah I'm on and off. There was a time where I went into a complete style slump and didn't draw for a couple of weeks, so I tried studying styles I did like, though I don't think I got any better at all. XD My coloring sucks as always and hair still fairly eludes me no matter how many tutorials I look at.

[JAVA mule]

Artistic Licence says:

|| Pffft. Mika, I have no idea what you're talking about. I always thought you were a great artist.

Always a pleasure to see your art!

[Mikanchi]

XD Aw thanks. I think everyone's like this though. When I was shopping around someone mentioned that they liked my sig chibi and wished their chibis could be like it when I still thought I wasn't too good of chibi artist yet. Then I saw her art and said she was amazing at coloring and wished I had her ability but she said she thought she was completely horrible at it. XD

[JAVA mule]

Artistic Licence says:

|| Yeah, it happens with everyone I guess. I always thought your art was way better than mine.

Always a pleasure to see your art!
