Description This is just a promotional piece for something I'm working on, but I thought since it's been so long since I've uploaded anything here (I have been so busy ) I should go ahead and put it up.

Well, thank you! A lot of people have said the same thing so perhaps it's something I should pursue!

Wow, I love this! The lineart is so smooth and the colors so rich. I can't believe this took you only 30 minutes! :D

Well, I do tend to lose track of time, so it could have been longer. It sure didn't feel too long though. Thanks so much. This has gotten such positive feedback. It makes me think I shouldn't bother spending so much time and effort on pieces in the future!

This looks very professional, the lines are so clean and the colors are so smooth, it definitely looks like a picture people would pay money for. I envy your skill. I really like the colors too, they're very classy!

Well, thank you so much! This has gotten such positive feedback. I'm really surprised, especially since I didn't spend too much time on it, comparatively speaking.

It certainly looks like you spent a lot of time on it... What do you consider to be alot of time?

chesney In reply to FrankieAlton [2010-05-04 00:05:38 +0000 UTC]

Probably anything over 45 minutes. I think this took about 30ish, give or take. Although, I do tend to lose track of time. The coloring definitely didn't take long. In fact, I was only coloring it at all to see if I could use an old technique with a new program. ^^

30 minutes? Dude, this would take me about 3 days... lol. I think I need to learn to be faster...

Very cute, sexy, and pro looking. Great job Chesney Simple yet good enough to find adorable.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way but she looks like those cute little animated dolls they use for merchandising beauty products.

I was laughing myself as I thought she reminded me a little bit of those silly Bratz dolls! It was unintended, but hey, it works. ^^ Thank you very much.

RICEA42991 In reply to chesney [2010-05-02 20:25:48 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm Bratz?? They were the last thing on my mind. I personally find them ugly next to yours. Now thinking though she does look like a Myscene doll ^^

That's definitely a new style for you -- which you seem to have nailed. Cel shading with heavy colored lines works nicely with those colors. Hope this is a preview of a new style of yours

chesney In reply to Kiwi-RGB [2010-05-01 22:26:42 +0000 UTC]

It's actually not new at all. In fact, it's a bit of a throw-back for me.

Examples:
[link]
[link]
[link]

Granted, those have a bit more embellishments than this one and were done in different programs (except Hiney Ho) but this was something I just threw together.

This is a style I prefer. It takes a lot less time and I have a fun, easy way of doing it. Thank you!

Kiwi-RGB In reply to chesney [2010-05-01 22:42:11 +0000 UTC]

The drawing style itself looks new though. The type you see in fashion magazines. The shading I do recognize, but it's having more impact than normal with this drawing.. a natural combo, it seems

Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, I suppose it is a bit of a departure for me, although I do a lot of work like this for my job. I just don't post that stuff on dA. It's gotten some good feedback (which I was not expecting at all ) so it makes me think I should continue it for my work!

It has been a long time. Where've you been?

I like the colour choice here, but where is her nose?

She cut it off to spite her face. We can all learn a valuable lesson here.

It's just been super busy. It seems like one thing after another lately. The good news is I'm almost done with a set of commissions, so at least I'll have more time shortly. ^^

chesney In reply to LovelyLocks [2010-05-01 16:01:51 +0000 UTC]

The B&W will be made available as a Squigglefly image, but I wanted to color it and sent it to my sister to use however she saw fit. So I don't know for a fact it will be used, but it may be. And if it is, I'm not 100% sure how. ^^

And thank you!
