Thanqol Learns 2 Draw: Every Step Is The First

[Thanqol]

You are aware that Deus doesn't mean two? You were looking for deuce.
Deus is the word for God in many Romance languages...

Uh. Yeah. I totally intended to do that and imply that my character is an almighty being. Totally.

Day 610: Penance Hands

Today I had to write 2000 words about how awesome I am and I'm feeling kind of burned out. So I turned to one of my anatomy books for some quick practise.

I'm glad I did so because I think I finally discovered a way to do hands that I can mentally cope with!

Brother asked me to design a pocketwatch. Expect to see more in this vein for a few days.

Day 613: Time To Buy A Watch!

Just a concept sheet to run by the requester later. I'd blame the heat for depressing my overall productivity but truth is probably closer to lack of sleep.

Writing seems to benefit from sleep deprivation while drawing suffers. Hmm.

Aha. We finally have art of Maskie smiling. This is good. Also, understandable. I'd smile if the artist in question was drawing me. Also, love the colours.

I've been telling you to do hands like that for over a thread! Goodness, it's like I speak in some esoteric form in which I describe symbols and allegory with frame of reference for understanding what they pertain to or something.


Good job by the way. Consider either making the blocks (mentally) smaller than the flesh around them, or being more free in how you pinch them together. For reference, feel your hand from the top and Truro realize exactly how small the bones of your hand are, despite how relatively big your hand is. That will help you not make everyone have identical hands.

Art has a higher physical component. If your coordination suffers while writing you can have the computer do the grunt work. The difference is one of millimeters. A milimeter wrong writing thing is a typo. A milimeter wrong circle is an egg, and ruins the entire composition.

Oh, well that answers some questions by creating others. Faust sketch? Do tell.

More to the point though, what general settings did you use for these Colors? I want to do painting, "FBI" willing, but cannot seem to make the thingy do stuff. To use the technical terms.

Mask normally keeps most of her smiling behind the mask where no one can see it.

The mane and tail were a layer of flats, with one Shading layer at 76% opacity and one Luminosity layer. I then selected the area and went over it with a render brush of dark purple and pink. Blur brush for the shading on the body.

Dammit, I can't get SAI. I just spent this quarter's "Weee, I'm preoccupied for a while!" funds on some magery.

A'ight. It looks like I am going to ahve to forsake my usual wondering what to do with my time on the internet and actually get sue out of my time on the internet. Learn brushes and stuff.

Yeah, I remember the time you were all "Mask, why won't you let me draw you smiling?" and I was all "Let's put a smile on that face!" and then she was Jokermask for a while. It was good.

I should probably look into using anything other than the .ost basic of brushes eventually. Once my computer arrives perhaps. Whenever that happens...

Just because you are fighting to hold back and thwart the abyss, doesn't mean you have to be miserable. I personally think that taking time to enjoy the positives is an important but often neglected thing for those that do.

Also, I think charger has been experiencing Character growth on her own terms which Thanqol has little control over, ever since he made the reaction faces. She is basically a little out of control.
Or not. You should ask her.

Charger can take the time to appreciate a good thunderstorm. In fact, she's possibly required to. She also knows how to have fun; she's just a lot more controlled and deliberate about when and how she does than most.

The snake is a wise-cracking smartass. The Dragon is always hungry. The Lion is a decent bloke but disgustingly gullible. The goat is having an emo phase. I really want to use this thing somewhere.

Amon Amarth? Colour me mildly surprised. I wouldn't have guessed you'd be a fan, just goes to show how completely I fail to grasp your taste in music.

Amon Amarth? Colour me mildly surprised. I wouldn't have guessed you'd be a fan, just goes to show how completely I fail to grasp your taste in music.

I don't like genres, or even bands. Every artist has at least one crap song in them, usually lots. My taste in music is 'Music which doesn't suck'.

Some genres have a whole lot more suck in them than others, but that doesn't make me write off the genre as a whole.
