Description I am making an illustrated novel and this is the main character from that story. Her name is Kiala. To see more, follow the links below.

<--previous<-- -->next-->

First, YES! I will finish the Welvin Picture. I actually started this one a long time ago, and never got to finishing yet. Suddenly, I found it again, and decided I'm finishing this. I first have bizz to take care of, then I'll finish the welvin and then this one. So it might be a while. Putting the WIP up now is a way to make it so I won't forget about it again though.

This is Kiala, near the end of the story, she holds council with the four original dragons. Or more like, they hold council with her. Being so old, they are enormous. As you can see.

Probably not, unfortunately, the inspiration has long since been sucked out of me for that one.

Aww... Can I finish it for you? At least try.

manic-goose In reply to LeahCK [2010-01-14 01:04:05 +0000 UTC]

Sure, go ahead. I don't mind, every time I look at it I feel sad that I haven't finished it... but there are always other things that need to be taken care of first.

Yay! I'll try my hardest on it. I'm still new to digital so don't expect a masterpiece.

How do I go under the layer you already did? Do you still have a version with the multiple layerS?

manic-goose In reply to LeahCK [2010-01-14 23:27:06 +0000 UTC]

No, I lost it. Here is what you do though. Select the white, and then invert the selection. Copy and paste it on a new layer. Once you have that, double check that it is right by making a layer behind it that is a different color, and if it isn't quite right, you can use the erase tool to make adjustments or try adjusting the amount selected. Hope that helps.

It doesn't seem to be working. Maybe I'm just being dumb though. I'll figure it out, thanks though. ^_^

It takes practice to figure out how to do it right. I can separate it again for you if you want. I'll email it to you tomorrow some time

I feel like someone is watching me...
I like this, its not one of my favorites but it has great use of color and sense of when to use the coloring.

That eye is very feline...and the girl...MEOW!

ooh i just love her hair though the skin may be a bit to vivid in some way..and the there's the highlight part...guess that's why it's called a wip

it so far
and those grass like bits are cute and really give a windy feeling

manic-goose In reply to BlackDelphin [2008-09-24 15:33:42 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. When the whole thing is colored, if it still looks too vibrant, then I'll deal with it... but it may seem that way because of the sharp contrast of color against white. So I can't make adjustments yet... but yep, that's why it is a WIP. Thank you

BlackDelphin In reply to manic-goose [2008-09-24 16:26:35 +0000 UTC]

indeed..the white may be the cause, and if not..well..you still have to wait till it's done i guess
