.douleur means pain.

**warning** ramble ahead.

It only hurts when I breathe...'

Oh how true.

Weird mesh of music, eh? haha. i know...

So my life/physical health has been horrid lately. Hopefully this reflects my recent struggles? idk. One can hope. haha. I know the tail is awful and pixely. I had a little...mishap with the blur and sharpen tool. >_>; on that note, any PS CS3 users wanna give me any tips...I'll gladly take them, rofl.

anyway. Because of the obvious stated above ^ I'm publicly apologizing to a number of people who have messaged me or simply written to me in general...I'm so sorry i haven't gotten back to you. It's not because I don't want to, it's quite the opposite. it's my health and pain that won't allow it at times. I have to work on my art at small intervals, and sometimes that's all i can do. I love you all and will answer asap.

so! Now that's outta the way...

THANK YOU stockists! -

They are very felt. I know what you mean, when I made I WILL FIGHT, the emotion coming through was seen by everyone and that made me feel like I'd done the job.

I've been failing at manips lately. especially stock finding.

youknowit561 In reply to fillygal [2010-01-15 21:59:42 +0000 UTC]

Hahaa what talent?

ommggg. the word "joely", "fail" and "manips" do not belong in the same sentence. [Unless of course you say "Joely DOES NOT fail at manips"] rofl.

But yeah I hate stock search too...i randomly picked these, I couldn't be bothered trying to match them. Sometimes the harder you try the harder the manip is

Everything blends so well together and I'm loving all the blue tones. That eye is incredible as well. *stares*

youknowit561 In reply to judgement06 [2010-01-14 17:56:31 +0000 UTC]

Haha thank you so much!
I spent about 40 minutes just trying to decide on which colors I was gonna go with. Originally it was red tones, then magenta, purple, green, etc., But finally decided on the cyan-ish. haha. and the eye gave me trouble, but I'm glad it looks alright!
It makes all the blood sweat and tears over Photoshop worth it, lol.

Hey, how did your manip go?! I never got to see it.

judgement06 In reply to youknowit561 [2010-01-14 19:06:55 +0000 UTC]

I don't think I could really imagine this in any other colour but the cyan. Well all the trouble over the eye and it looks great!
Oh yes, the blood sweat and tears. Great manips like this definitely make it worth while.

My manip? I'm still working on it. I work really slow, and well, I have this little problem with manes and tails. When I'm done I will make sure to show you.

youknowit561 In reply to judgement06 [2010-01-14 20:36:42 +0000 UTC]

Good! That must mean I [finally] made the right decision, haha. I hope you're right

Ooh okay. I understand. I once took a month on a manip...and even then it wasn't one of my bests. I am a fellow slow-worker.

Problems with manes and tails? Hmm. I empathize. Maybe I could help? I'm no expert but I might have a few tips of advice after all of my hours and hours of toiling, haha. Like paint them on separate layers so that if you want to go back and erase..you can..[You don't want to know how I learned that one. It was a tragedy. ] But if you wanna do it on your own, I completely understand that too. Can't wait to see it!

judgement06 In reply to youknowit561 [2010-01-14 21:34:30 +0000 UTC]

Haha a month? That's a long time. I think I would give up after taking that long.

I definitely do use different layers but any tips and tricks you could give me would be great! I love how yours turn out.

youknowit561 In reply to judgement06 [2010-01-15 22:01:42 +0000 UTC]

Haha yeah, I wanted to give up. I just didn't have any other projects to bounce to.

Ooh okay, I'd be glad to. I'm in the process of making a simple manip tutorial for another friend of mine, maybe I'll just post it for you and others...however, I'm sure the novice advice on there is that which you already know.

judgement06 In reply to youknowit561 [2010-01-16 02:29:14 +0000 UTC]

If you could dear, that would be AWESOME! Even if it is awesome advice, it is better than no advice. The mane and tail is all that is stopping me from finishing really, and some blending on the hooves. Maybe I should send you a WIP shot of it sometime.
