Artist's Comments

I am hating myself haado right now. I can't finish anything. I can't work on anything. I feel like shit.

Sensations of self loathing aside, I am in love with how it turned out. I kept the non-sepia version, but don't think I'll post it. This one's much more interesting, and grants a deeper historical feel.

I really only colored this damn thing because I don't have any real direction with my story, lacking a few vital research books I need to purchase soon... -_- Well, that, and I can't seem to do anything I'm obligated to...

...I'm sorry. *hangs head in shame*

The brushes I used include [link] [link] and at least four other collections that I can't remember where I got them... (SORRY! x_x)

Is it artist's block, or just lack of time to work on anything? Either way don't beat yourself up over it ^^;
I really like this, it has a very clean feel and lots of detail. I also like the old photograph color scheme, it definitely brings out the time period more :nod:

I think you did quite well on this; I'm actually quite struck with how you managed to pick out such a accurate looking color for the aged look (of course, I've never been one with a good taste in colors, so...) And I really like both these characters too :)

P.S. What I usually do when I'm in a bad rut is I go see a movie, or rent one, or even read a book from some genre or on a subject which I've never been into. Try to step out your comfort zone some, and then stepping back you'll realize just how much potential you've got within it. ;)

It's far too easy to pull the wool over the eyes of sheep who yield in the stead of mediocrity. They'll never realize they've seen it before.

(Also, I colored everything how it should have been, then desaturated the picture--made it monochrome--and altered the color saturation. Took me a few tries to get the "right" sepia combination.)

Oh hell yeah, go for it.

That movie might actually be the perfect choice since everything about it is so carefree. :peace:
