Description EDIT: Why the heck do I always have to notice my mistakes on my own? You could have told me that there's something wrong with this effin' opacity in the background!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2009!!


...And finally I can upload this since the date is close enough now~ >3

Yea, it's Harmonie... and this picture got skulls!
Hmm... if you get the reference, you'll get a cookie.
I'll give you a hint: It's some kind of cosplay~ 8D
But I took the probably most obvious part out of it... it's still quite obvious, at least for me, heehee~ |3

Okay, I'll stop fooling around now.
I'm seriously proud on this picture, even if it ended up looking completely different than I imagined it... especially the background. But after heaping the skulls... gah, I couldn't resist. Sorrysorrysorry. orz
But concerning the skulls... heck, those took two days! But in the end, it really payed. Yup, I'm satisfied. *nodnod* |3

Oh, and do you notice something...? No lineart! I colored the sketch... I mean, who needs outlines? Sketchiness ftw! 8D

I almost forgot the stars, but my bro ~tekknodackl reminded me... thank you. xD
(Yes, he forced me to mention him here, lol.)

Uh... now all that's left to do is to wish all of you a Happy Halloween! Hopefully, it'll be better than mine... ~ ~ *has to work about 8 hours and then "celebrate" Birthday with her gandpa* FAIL! orz

However...
Harmonie and that hat *steals it* © me!
Texture and brushes used © their respective owners I forgot the names of once again!

Thanks a lot. xD
I seriously have no idea how many skulls I put there, just how many different ones I've used; yay for copy-paste!

Excuse me, but i do not have any clue how long it took you for making this...
I don't, cause i've never spend more than 2 hours on a draw, and never colored (never drawn skulls heads as well.) @_@
Don't kill. And forgive my ignorance,please.

It's okay, I was just joking anyway. Just don't take everything so serious. *bumps you* xD
But be assured that I needed a lot fo time to do so many different skull, just like coloring the rest of the picture. I think you can multiply your working time with ten or even more, then you have mine. xD

Irysdal In reply to Amarena-Berry [2010-01-05 21:09:00 +0000 UTC]


okay, but i need to have good programs too, i've only one named paint, and it is really bad for coloring or anything else.

I prefer working with a pen, (or a mechanical one), and a ruber/erasor.
I do like "sketching", like i always say. (but sadly,that mean doodling for anybody else )
That's the reason why i spend less than 2 hours for a draw.
So, if i want to have "yours", i need to train to do real linearts, inking too, and have colorings programs, or whatever it's called.

In fact, that's the reason i like your works (and others DAs), because you are able to do great things, with a pen or a computer's program.
You do have talent, and it's cool!

Amarena-Berry In reply to Irysdal [2010-01-05 22:25:11 +0000 UTC]

Who says I don't use mechanical pen and eraser? Those are my tols of choice; I even do the outlines on paper with my inking pens. I only color in Photoshop... usually.
The right programs can be a really big help, but most of it is still up to you and your skills. You can also draw very good pictures in paint... and it's a lot of fun. *pokes her paint-doodles* x3

Irysdal In reply to Amarena-Berry [2010-01-06 20:33:15 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it's right. I've already seen super pics made with paint, but i think some of them were made with a graphic tablet.
Using mouse's computer for a draw is hard. Not impossible, but hard.

Coloring is funny, But for shading effects and lights... Duh.
Even if mi deviant ID is made with this one, i'm still thinking it'd hard to use.
I have to be more brave, then, i'll be able to progress.

Mechanical pens and erasers are awesome.

But i remember that you made a pic of harmony, colored with pen colors.
Or maybe i'm wrong...

Do you have a scanner? Since it's also possible to scan your pictures, resize them and then ink and color in paint as well. This way you don't need to sketch the whole thing with mouse and just have to use the line tools to trace it. Same goes for shadings and highlights.

Yes, I did a picture of Harmonie waaay back. That was her second design. It still looks quite similar to her current one, but I changed things slightly. C:

Irysdal In reply to Amarena-Berry [2010-01-07 20:56:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, i've a scanner in my room. I've already scanned one of my best and OLDEST work, but it looks too lightning. So i decided to make it more dark with a program, "Picture It" something like that. I did, and my pic became very dark. Oo
Looks better like that, i've the impression that i've already inked it.
Well thank you remembering me that! I have now something to submit.

(And for harmony's old design, i think that i've never seen it.
Did i miss something important? )

Amarena-Berry In reply to Irysdal [2010-01-11 16:43:58 +0000 UTC]

For making pictures darker and other simply edits, I'd advice you a program called IrfanView. It's free, easy to handle and really handy. You can't color picture there, though it's really good for resizing or making pencil-outlines darker and such. x3

Harmonie's very first design you don#t want to see. It sucked badly and I think I don't even have the picture of it anymore. xDD

Irysdal In reply to Amarena-Berry [2010-01-11 19:37:21 +0000 UTC]

Ok, thanks for this!
I think i'll check this one. Coloring may be easier than that i've now.
Except PhotoShop and Photofiltre, and didn't knew any other one.


Maybe i won't teach you anything saying that, but sometime, first design aren't the best. For example, i think i've change my first fanchar around, oh, 6 or 7 time! X3
So if you have changed her design only one time, that mean you understood that something was wrong with it, and you make it better, quickly. (and she don't need another one)

... If there is someone who could teach something to the other, that certainly you!
I'm just a damn kid!

Amarena-Berry In reply to Irysdal [2010-01-11 20:32:56 +0000 UTC]

No, you can't color with IrfanView, but it's a nice program, though. x3
Maybe you should try gimp for coloring? It's similar to Photoshop and a lot of people use it since it's for free. I prefer Photoshop, though. |3
I actually have a lot of characters that still have their first design, but I almost redesigned most of my old characters indeed. At least once. Cx
I'm not sure if I'm able to teach anyone; most of the time people don't even understand what I'm trying to say, but thank you.

Wow, schick schick dude
Das erste was mich dazu bewegt hat auf die Preview in meine Deviation Inbox zu kliggen, waren wohl die Skulls x'D Was ich hier besonders gut finde ist das die ganzen Knochenköpe nicht gleich aussehen, sondern verschieden ausgerichtet sind und somit nicht aussehen wie ein haufen gleichaussehender Totenköfe~
Zudem bin ich geradezu begeistert von dem Coloring :3 Hatte erst auf den zweiten Blick gesehen das es keine Outlines gibt, aber ich finds ganz cool |D
Creme de la Creme ist und bleibt jedoch die gekräuselte Spitze des Huts *anbet*

Lol, danke. xD
Freut mich, dass die die Skulls so gut gefallen; da hat sich die Arbeit ja gelohnt. Es sind nämlich relativ viele unterschiedliche, die ich da machen musste.
Yay, das coloring macht auch spaß. Nur fürchte ich, dass ich wieder einmal zu dumm bin, um mir zu merken, wie ich das gemacht habe und das nächste Mal, was ich das versuche, endet das in einem Desaster... oder wieder etwas völlig anderem. xDD
Lol, jeder mag diesen Hut... aber er gehört MIR. >D

Musst du ausprobieren x'D Einfach das lineart nach ganz unten packen und drüber coloren, gibt viele Möglichkeiten~ Ich wills das nächste mal auch ausprobieren und gucken was bei rauskommt, hab´s noch nie so bei Sonic related Characteren versucht o3o

Also, Love the use of the skulls. Where did she even find all those skulls?! Dig up a graveyard? XD
Pretty good pose and I've noticed an outfit like that before...but I can't remember where...Looks coo' tho C:
Hm, the only thing that I dislike it the fact that the character is Harmonie...I just can't see her with that expression :/ She's like a shy character, yeah? And sometimes evil. () I don't know, I could see Amarena doing it tho! XD
Still a pretty sweet picture for Halloween C: Do they celebrate Halloween in Germany?

Hum... yes, I know what you mean. But Harmonie is some kind of a vactim for me. I love to draw her and I simply couldn't resist drawing her like this again. Sorry again, though I already excused in the description for my stupidity. xDD
Thanks you~
Well, it's getting more and more popular here, but I won't have the time to celebrate it at all, since I have to work and then we celebrate my grandpa's birthday (boooooooring! orz), so yea... |D
