Yay! After my second day of learning and practicing, I have produced a decent image with Photoshop. And what better to Photoshop than Cythera characters?

Thus, I present to you a full-color Sya- [url="http://"http://24.81.41.18/~katerei/drawings/Syacolored.jpg"]http://24.81.41.18/~.../Syacolored.jpg[/url]

I'll put more up when I get the time to do some. Posted Image

Very nice. Who doesn't like photoshop? My only problem is that I am severly artistically challenged...

You know, the only artistic people here might be Katerei and Moonshadow Posted Image

We're all artistic. Now whether or not we're good at being artistic is a different matter... Posted Image

You always have very interesting views on things, which tend to be true. However, that makes 2% of my artisticness (is that a word?) good artisticness.

Well, its difficult to accurately generalize something. People can be good at one aspect of drawing but not another. For example, I'm fairly good at drawing backgrounds and landscapes, but when it comes to drawing people and animals, you'll want a plane ticket to another planet.

Not to mention that creativity and artisticness aren't measured solely by drawing ability. Writing, acting, composing music- they all require creativity, too. And seeing as you all write for chrons and/or TSes, you have no claim to being unartistic. Posted Image

Oh yes- I'm currently working on Trinias, so wait up and I should have it posted in a few days. ^^

Good job on coloring that, Kat!

Just one objection: the white dots in the eyes seem wrong. They're either both right of the pupil, or left of the pupil, but not like that... *hopes she's making sense* ^^

You know, I've never seen anything Moonshadow has done. I'm assuming that means she hasn't posted it in a while?

Yeah, I'm, um... having trouble with dad's scanner, for one. And then I wasn't feeling particularly creative in a while. But I can give you a link to the pictures I already posted a while ago... once I find somebody to host them again. ^^

Actually, now that you reminded me of it...
Moonshadow wanders off to find pen and paper and spend the rest of her off-hours drawing.

I just remembered something!

Avatara: if you're good at drawing backgrounds/landscapes, I know what I'm going to have to ask you some time...

Okay, now off to draw somebody... but who? Moonshadow thinks she should go look up all the info on our elves to decide who to draw next. Or are there any volunteers?

Please feel free to make a drawing of Rogan... I'm going to update his profile in the Char info soon.

Rogan would probably look something like [url="http://"http://www.borknagar.com/pictures/galleries/press2001/05.jpg"]this[/url](only a bit nicer Posted Image

) if he was a real person... that's a guy called Asgeir Mickelson, drummer in a number of very talented Norwegian black/goth metal bands such as Borknagar and Enslavement of Beauty.

Hrm, id draw, cept my good drawings only come from random scribbles I start to link with one another. Its fascinating, even to me, that most my drawings come out fairly sad, but doodles open a window to decent pics. If I do happen to make on, ill describe it to all of you Posted Image
