I actually started drawing this with a new ID for myself in mind, though this is how it turned ou....She's either the copic sketch marker cover girl or the manifestation of gay pride. your choice XD
The ironic thing is that I this was (obviously) coloured in photoshop. I planned to do it in copics, but my base skin colour dried up and I haven't had the chance to run to the store to pick up a new one :C *emo tear*

Guess who's back?
Visiting your dA, this really caught my attention. It must be the wild assortment of colors and the dark lines of your art. I really do enjoy seeing the fact that you've pinned Copic Markers in her hair. Superb, my dear. I'm glad to see that you're making such wonderful sketches.
Your coloring is also amazing, very crisp with shadows and highlights. :3

It looks like you can photoshop pretty well. I'm actually pretty jealous. Your shades are so much bolder than anything I've attempted thus far. ^_~

yey!
me and Ali were thinking of doing a photoshoot maybe the weekend after halloween, since we can't do it the day after because we're going to an Abney Park concert.
Would you and Natsko (and anyone else) be interested?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sure! that'd be great! what's the theme of the photoshoot?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
dunno yet XD maybe these two characters I still need to talk to Ali about, but it could be more than one thing =B
and we could always just spend the whole weekend taking pictures

I'd love to help out with the photoshoot in any way that I could c: Keep me updated on it c:

I LIEK THE RAINBOWS. fo' shiz. I've got a bit of a critique for you: watch out for drifting eyes! They're getting a bit far apart, and it looks fine now but... you remember that phase i went through. D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
GAH OMG THE EYES YOU'RE RIGHT *emo tear*
I'll make sure to watch out for that next time! gaaaah, I thought that I had finalyl made something that I was completely satisfied with XD drat XDD
but your eyes-wide-apart phase actually looked awesome O:

also: i love the microns as hair chopsticks xD

I APPROVE OF THIS. NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE GORGEOUS RAINBOW, I SWEAR.
In all seriousness, I really do like this. The concept with copics as hairpins is awesome. And the lines in the hair look like they took forever, and the result is it looks awesome and realistic, and the shading and coloring is awesome and I'm in love.

merci beaucoup <33 I would try to stick copic markers in my hair but I wouldn't want to damage the markers....or get marker in my hair......*phail*
and thank you~! you're so advanced with photoshop that it's an honour to have you say that the colouring looks good ;;w;; *teary eyes*

Use your dry skin-tone for that! Reuse the dead ones for that! C:
I-I am? I dunno...I always thought my photoshop stuff was like muh...but I dunno who I'm comparing myself to...
So yeah. You did awesome. Maybe you more pinks in the skintone next time? I can't actually see it right now, but that's what I remember.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
your photoshopping is AWESOME. I really like how you shade skin especially O:
yeah, I noticed that the skin looked a little bit too yellow as I was almost finished with the entire thing. oops. I hate it when I do that XD; I'll do my best next time >8D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, thank you! That makes me really happy! C:
I just select it all and do ctrl+u for shade+hue adjustment. It works when you're lazy. =9

ooooh O: *really lazy* I gotta remember ctrl + u OOO:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah pretty much. I think it works on all versions. If not it should be under one of the menus, depending on what version you have.

AND YEY FOR DA SHINY

Dude, rainbow hair is hot. Especially on animes.

why thank you! I wish that my hair looked like this xD
thank you for the fave <333

No prob and I want hair like that too. But I wish my skin was lighter. Rainbow hair would NOT look right on me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, I'm pretty sure that there are only about 3 people on this planet that could pull off rainbow hair. I'm jealous of those people XDDDD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Gah, it's one of those rare occasions where everyone wants something and only few people will have it. It's like guys and their playstations...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ahahahaha XD good comparison 8D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah and eventually, they get cheaper as time flies so soon everyone will have a PS3. I guess that means eventually no one will give a shit about what anyone looks like anymore so we'll all have rainbow hair.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, at least in that scenario we'd both have rainbow hair 8D It would be sooo hard to dye. jeebies.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Chyeah, not to mention expensive. We'd have to get like seven different colors and I would have to bleach my hair first. Althought it's more of a brown that black, I'd have to dye my hair.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it'd be fairly easy to dye my hair; it's a light-ish blond. The funny thing is, my friends, who have black hair and dark brown hair are the ones who have dyed their hair. I should get a streak or something some day >w<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You should! I didn't like the way my hair looked so I tried to grow it and I dyed it like 4 different shades of brown. Now my hair is dark brown but it's a little lighter in the front.
