Description YES.

WHY IS THERE NO BLACK/WHITE SECTION IN DA WTF???

I honestly honestly honestly like the b/w version better.

Also, left DA. WTF peoples? What is so wrong about gay? What's so wrong about drawing that?

If this community really wants all artists who draw gay out of its system, then it's bye bye to 1/3 of the population. Including me, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU.

You're right, the black and white version is better. It makes the expression more clear. The smile, the glasses, and the bit-too-long sleeves really make this picture work for me. Very cute.

What's wrong with being gay?! It's more like 2/4 of the society...! This really sucks to lose great artists like that. Us "gay artists" will have to go to Y!Gallery......

I think this is better in black/white

I actually have a problem with Y!Gallery because... eh. There's just something about the place that creeps me out.

wow it really is better. ^^ The textures come out more nicely.

People shouldn't complain that much about BL and yaoi. For god's sake, if you don't like it then don't look at it. D: It's a shame that great artists have to leave because of people who can only complain. ._.

This does look awesome in b&w! Of course, to me, everything YOU do looks awesome.

Well, I sent *kidchan an email to her hotmail account, to try and convince her not to go. I don't know if it'll do any good. No one listens to us old people.....

awesome pic, the coloured one's quite awesome too.
You're right about the black/white thing though, so fscking hard to find good stuff to use for stenciling

Whats your inking process? i've never understood how your edges look so sharp-
Do you ink the origional before scanning, or go over sketch with photshop?

laika13 In reply to largo-san [2006-01-08 11:01:01 +0000 UTC]

Er, stencilling? I don't stencil.

My inking process is like this: use a 0.3/0.2 to ink over the basic lines, then go over the outermost lines with a 0.5, then I ink the details with a 0.1, then I erase the pencil lines and fill in the black spaces. Basically that's it. Sometimes, though, the scanner doesn't pick up much of the black, so I go to Photoshop to adjust the levels. It still looks the same though, only a bit darker because of the increase in contrast.

Hope that helps.

laika13 In reply to hagen-pachs [2006-01-08 10:57:32 +0000 UTC]

Basically, kidchan left because she got sick of all the complaints about her artworks that had male/male implications in it.

Most noobs just can't care to think. DA's losing a lot of its better artists because it can't manage the side that says "NO TO GAY". WTF, peoples.

And it's KIDCHAN. At this rate, there won't be any good artists here, coz they've all gone away.
