Description Somehow this sit in one of my many folders and just sorta rotted away, forgotten. Re-found thanks to my printmaking class, and thusforth finished.

If you take offense to the word "freak" and it being directed at you, you suck

Dear god, I absolutely love this. The motion of the lines and the single color give this an excellent combination of detail and simplicity that I like so much. Nice job :]

Thank you For the record, do you feel "offended" or "creeped out" by the content (the girl and/or the background)?

Nope, not at all. I don't see why anybody would take offense to such a thing :b

this is amazing. youve got loads of talent.
the color matches really well with the black ink.
and i love how it seems like shes singing the notes.
the simplicity of the background and the detail
in the foreground really bring it out.
nice works.

He said the landscape is like.. warped but "happy" or something so it's creepy. I had to default to saying "I guess mostly girls would like this type of drawing" ... except the reactions I got from my male friends weren't like "omg that's so girly"... plus, I'm totally not into making girly stuff O_o;
I dunno. Some of the SDSU art teachers are sketchy -_-

This is completely adorable and I love it! I saw your sig on gaia and decided to check out your stuff and just to let you know it is amazing! I really wish I had a tablet and even if I did have one I have no clue how to use it. Traditional media can only do so well. *sighs* Oh well I hope to get into my cg class at college eventually even though it is the hardest art class to get into. Anyway I love this because the pose is amazing, the outfit is so cute, and blue is my favorite color!

Thank you! Glad you like it XD

About tablets: you can get really cheap ones (40 USD), but I'm going to suggest you don't get compelled to buy one of those. They actually work fine... until they go on the fritz (eep), but that doesn't happen all the time. What DOES happen is your pen breaks from just replacing the batteries! those cost 10-20$ and of course batteries aren't cheap either. So, if you really want one, save for a small Wacom :3
In the meantime, you can use your mouse to draw on the computer. Just use the line tool That's how I drew stuff for a long long time. It works well, but you do have to use a lot of small lines and be really patient.

Also, I dunno about your class, but my CG class didn't have tablets... and all we did was make magazine covers and stuff -_- maybe you have a digital illustration class though. one of those might have tablets.

thanks again for your comment
