OMG!!! It's youuuuu!! I've been a fan for ever! Are you active on gaia again?

[Lucian Kujaku]

Thank you so much Zeph! *hugs*

Christmas_chan:
Yay!! It's awesome to see you here. I love your art! blaugh
I added you on DA.. but I NEVER go on DA right now because my paid account expired and I hate using it without a pay account.. lol.
I was going to buy another few months, but I keep putting it off.

I'm on Gaia and I have a livejournal.
Honestly, I'm really WEIRD with websites. I have a lot of forums and stuff I'm a member of... but I always bounce between them. So it's almost like I disappear to people who only know me from one place. My Personal Journal is pretty much the ONLY place people can trust to find me usually. sweatdrop

I'm on Gaia ATM, at least until I finish these 3 commissions. Then I'll probably break for a little bit.. so I can finish some of my own projects and junk. 3nodding

barokku:
Thank you so much. <3

My line art is... weird. Because I do everything in Photoshop CS2. I find that drawing line art is easier if you use the pencil tool in Painter... BUT I HATE bouncing around programs and I don't like using Painter because I stink with it and I'm to lazy to learn. lol

If you like painter I'd recommend it over Photoshop for lines.

Anyways.. what I do in Photoshop is I draw huge. (If you look at the "Detail Shots" in my examples you'll see my working size). I outline in 50% grey. I use the regular No.3 brush preset with "Other Dynamics" checked off. I try not to use an eraser, because the Photoshop Eraser is always too hard or too soft.. so if I want to soften a line I made too thick, I'll use the same brush and cover the mistake in white. I multiply my lines after, so having the white bits makes no difference to me.

This takes ages because I do my lines at 100% zoom and need to feather because the line correction in PS is also crappy compared to painter.

After all that is done, I duplicate the layer and set the top layer to multiply to darken the lines. Because the lines will be too light if I don't.

Then flatten and shrink the picture to the size I want (normally I shrink 25%-33% of the original size).

- After I shrink I like to add a Xero filter called "Porceline" to give the lines that blue-ish look. I need to use "smart-sharpen" after I do that though, because the filter will blur the lines too much. That last step is not needed. I only use the Xero filter because I think it looks pretty. sweatdrop

I didn't think there was such a huge difference between a DA subscriber and a non subscriber? I was subscribed for a month or something way back, but except for the no-ads thing, I didn't see much difference. I didn't go digging around much tho'.

I've never had a journal, I suck at writing them...well I have no life, so I don't really have anything to write about crying 4laugh
But I hang around a lot on the few sites I'm a member of. It kinda takes me a while to join something (cuz I'm lazy) but when I first join, I stick around for years. 3nodding
Thank you for watching me on DA heart

Lineart talk2hand I kinda gave up on that in the end, it's just too much work, you know all of that stuff you wrote up there, *yeargh* I've tried, but I don't have the patience. I tried out the Pen tool a little too, the lines turned out really nice, but I keep redrawing so much, so it ended up being too time consuming.

[Christmas_chan]

Gah, I love your art, it looks so super pro whee heart heart heart
