Description
A pic done from my scrapbook . I'm really, really proud of this one. Yes, it's huge, but really, it's for the details. Fuzz... ^_^The grass was done using two brushes from Photoshop CS, and some of the overlay lighting is filters (two lense flares in PS, two sunbursts in PSP7 {yes, PSP will read PS files - but not the other way around. Silly Adobe XP}), but the rest is all me. The lighting was actually originally from the other top corner, but I changed it for the sake of the pic.
Photoshop CS, PaintShop Pro 7, Wacom Intuos tablet, original sketch

Oh my god... (yes this is so good i HAD to spell out the actual words) This is just..... amazing...
Good thing- SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DETAILED and looks almost realistic...
Bad thing- Umm... let me go to a college for critics for about 25-30 years and ill have the answer to that...
rating- 50/10 (yes, 50 out of 10)

I downloaded a free trial of photoshop, and I'm going crazy trying to make all of my pics before the 30 day trial is up. I allready uploaded some of them.

Aww, cute. I love how fuzzy you make them look. I wish I had paintshop. I finally got to sign up here too!

Yeah, it's a little expensive, but so much easier to use than MSPaint (more controls to learn, but so many more effects). I don't know any specifics, but you may care to try using Google to find a cheap or free alternative.

you may want to try the GIMP ([link] ). It's a photoshop-like app released under the GNU GPL (read: free) that was developed primarialy for our friends running the many flavours of *nix out there, but now has windows and mac versions out
I use the mac version with great success!

Ok. I posted my story, if anybody wants to read it. The first one you see on my profile is the good one. The first time, I put the excerpt in the wrong place. Also, DA screwed up all my indentions. I must warn you, though, that the first chapter takes place here on Earth, 13 years from now, and the story doesn't seem to have anything to do with R+C yet, but Ch. 2 is almost finished.

Yeah. Great! So, Sandy, when are you gonna write the next chapter of your R+C story, I can't wait!

Hmm...not sure. Got some college junk to do first (reading a book for history, yuckies), and then maybe I can get back to litterary works. Doodling is faster than writing for me.

I understand that!

aw, that looks so sweet and thoughtful as a whole; definitely digging the expression work here as well as the coloring detail here. Could have been a bit sharper as a result but I for one still appreciate what came around here. Way to go Sandy

Well, I was actually looking for the more fuzzy result, like a dreamy summer haze. That, and the fuzziness hides a few of the mistakes...

Good job with the grass. Ratchet and Sasha are nicely done as well.

Heh-heh, I love the Photoshop brush that makes the grass.

Hm! The colour of her forearms are not what I expected... I thought she would be a dark brown colour all over her body... is that something you just made up?
This drawing is so sweet btw! you like doing sleeping pics don't ya? ^^

I based the pattern of her arms and legs on her tail (since her ears kinda have an abreviated version of her tail pattern, I figure it'd be repeated elsewhere), with the fluff on the tip coresponding to her hand and the tail itself coresponding to her arm. And, since the lower half of her tail is fairly light, it makes sense that the lower half of her arms would be light as well.
And yes, sleeping pics are great. So nice and warm and peaceful...

Ahh... I'm not sure if I'll incorporate that into my drawings... especially since the design is yours.

Yeah, Photoshop has some awsome grass brushes. =3

wait, is that Sasha's hand under Ratchet's neck? why's it yellow?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, if you look again, it's both her hand and his there. He's just got his hand over hers; you can see the tips of her fingers.
