Description THE SCANNER KILLED THE COLORS
it look so much better in real life, i swear. i have a bit of a dilemma... should i tear it out of my ring notebook, hoping for a better scan? but i want to be able to flip through my arts, and its such a pretty notebook... ;___;

Ice queen! i'm starting on a mini series of powerful woman fantasy figures, it was kinda inspired by my mother nature piece [link] and so far, the line up includes girls like the black queen of chess and lady luck. hope they turn out good
but for the moment, hope you enjoy this one.

PS: it is not known whether she is good or evil, but that she serves her own ends. i'm thinking of making her a character in an upcoming project.
PSS: the names of her two arctic foxes are Hahen and Garasu.
PSSS: i can't draw foxes.

Love the regal appearance. I haven't seen too many queen deviations that actually look like royalty (most just look like sluts with tiaras...)
Nicely done!

Even if your scanner killed the colors, they still look nice :3

Tip:
There are some nice clear plastic sleeves you can but that can be put into binders and are cheap. Usually they come in packages of 25 or 50. You can tear (gently!) out your drawings, trim off the edges, and slide them in a sleeve and put them in a binder. They work great, and if they fill up, just buy another binder. They'rea cheap and neat way to display art :3

FOXES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMFG they're so cute!

What do you mean you can't draw foxes?! I'm gonna make you draw me a wittle foxy woxy one of these days. *Goes off into girly-cuddle land*

Heh, you can always tell how sleep deprived I am by the incoherentness of my comments.

Anywhoo... I'm sorry about the scanner issues, they suck sometimes. But despite that, I think the colors look really good! I love how the Ice Queen's shadows are blue, giving her skin kind of a cold look to it.

Well done!

I'm serious about that fox, man. One of these days... *plotting*

omg someone noticed! i'm so happy... i'm trying to vary my shading, i use my browns too much... i think it looks interesting though. light blue and light purple make for really nice shading, and i'm glad you noticed it haha

thanks!!!

Hmm, sounds like a bit of an art block. :/
I would suggest just writing down your ideas and taking a break until you feel a little more inspired.

oh no no, i am able to draw alright... its just that drawing is a beloved hobby of mine, yet at the same time i want to do it less... its a little weird. >.<

oxi-moron In reply to winter-ghost [2008-09-12 10:50:20 +0000 UTC]

XD I think I kind of get that way too.
I kind of switch between wanting to draw and write all the time. But with school I usually have time for neither. D:

Ah well, hopefully we'll both find a happy medium.

I see where people think the foxes are wolves. A fox's muzzle is a little more pointed than a wolf's.

i knowwww D: except well since this piece was done in an A5 notebook, and the rings of the notebook are pretty big, so scanning it was kinda weird... thats why i was sort of undecided on whether i should tear it out or not : ( i don't want to..

But! Baby wolves look like foxes, so its all good XD
The colours are SO good! I dunno how you can colour something in and still make it look white...but shaded...but not grey. LOL

zaerundil In reply to winter-ghost [2008-08-27 13:50:55 +0000 UTC]

I see. It could also be the way your monitor displays colours. Mine have been giving me a torrid time trying to get them to display properly, something about gamma being wrong and what not.

winter-ghost In reply to zaerundil [2008-08-28 03:29:00 +0000 UTC]

maybe.. but i also find that when i look at the file in photoshop and the posted version on dA, the posted one has more brightness 'A' i was fiddling with it a bit.

zaerundil In reply to winter-ghost [2008-08-28 03:42:10 +0000 UTC]

PSD file has more data than a jpeg. Try checking your colour settings (ctrl+shift K) and swapping between monitor colour and north american general. If that doesn't help try saving as a PNG file instead of a jpeg.

Yup they are, just be sure to add a background layer else DA will display a transparent background.
