Artist's Comments

The first piece I have done on my new laptop. I recieved a laptop for xmas designed around graphics programs, so it's mighty sweet.

This picture was done first by hand with pen and ink (just the figure) and then scanned in in two parts (due to it's original size) and pasted together. Then, using Corel Suite 10, and primarily Corel PhotoPaint, a background was added in 5 layers: Base color, shading, text, feathers, and black outline. Then I digitally painted the figure in 7 layers: Base color skin, skin shading, scars, blue highlighs, base color hair, hair shading, and hairtie. The topmost layer is the original black lineart with a transparency.

This is the first digital painting I have done, and I think I have done rather well. ^_^

The picture is of Cillara, a character of mine from my webcomic, Icarus in Shadow (www.terminusmedia.com) showing off her scars. The long ones on the shoulderblades are actually wing-marks, thus the feathers in the background.

Merry Christmas everybody!!!

No.. it wouldn't, but the color red can be very moody also, ;)

Whee. I'm sorry it's taken me this long to comment on this. It looks really freakin' awesome, dear. Your color choices are impeccable, IMO, and your technique looks pretty good, too. The only nitpick I have is it looks like you resized it before you colored it, leaving some antialiasing that makes the coloring in the hair look a little off.

yeah, i noticed the pixelation of doom too. It wasn't in the original Photo-Paint file, so it must have happened during the jpeg resizing. Gah.

Did you merge the layers before you resized, because it'll do that sometimes if the layers aren't all merged.

um.....
this would be the time when i point to the "first digital painting" part of my image comment and cry ignorance, really. I'd have to fiddle with Corel to see if I did.
