[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] Thanks y'all! [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Yay.png[/img][/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] Today, I installed the trialversion of Mischief. And dear oh my, I love doodling in it! It's just awesome for sketching because the penpressure works soooo much better than in Photo Shop or Paint Shop Pro. I doodled an eye... and then a face.. played around with the tools and options and finally came up with ... Kappa Tau! - he's another of my characters from "the City".[/color][/b][/size][/font]

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] However, I cannot make the colouring work in Mischief as I really miss the smudge tool, so saved the thing in a nice big file so I can color it in Paint Shop Pro, like I'm used to. A little sneak peak of what I've got sofar.... speaking of eyes [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Tong.png[/img][/color][/b][/size][/font]

[color=#c95f02][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] Told ya it's fun for sketching. The pen/pencil pressure works so well in Mischief it
makes me wonder if I have some setting wrong in Photoshop. Also it's good to

lookin damn good thus far!
the only suggestion I have with what is shown thus far is he looks a lil "poofy" in the chest/arms....kinda like someone is pumping air into his shirt poofing it out. I think part of the reason being he is relatively board straight across the shoulders...has no traps (trapezius...also called trapezoids). it is the area between shoulder and neck...they are typically pretty pronounced on weightlifters. by putting those in, it helps avoid the board flat shoulders as it breaks up the plane and also can help convey 'strength/power' depending on how pronounced one makes em. just a thought. :)

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] Good eye WP! Cuz Kappie IS wearing an air filled suit to make him look extremely muscular! *giggles* No, just kidding. Haha, I was suddenly picturing that when you mentioned it.
I'm aware of his air-filled suit [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/funny.gif[/img]. Haven't done any shading or highlights on his body yet, the lines you see are smudged pencilstrokes. There's lots of work still to be done. Wasn't aware that the muscles from neck to shoulders were called traps. I don't even know the Dutch word for those hah! I promise to put them in [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Wink.png[/img]. Thanks for the feedback, it's very much appreciated [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Big%20Smile.png[/img].[/color][/b][/size][/font]

{Dr Pedantic}
Actually, nearly every muscle in the body is named in Latin, therefore 'Trapezius' is correct, regardless of the local language. Anything else it might be called is just slang.
{/pedantic}
Very important muscle, helps to keep your arms from falling off. *nod-nod* [url=http://www.fortefitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/740152-training-m.trapezius.jpg]Picture[/url]

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] Still working on Kappa Tau, but in the mean time I felt like doing something more traditional and this happend...
[/color][/b][/size][/font]
[img]http://darthdelicious.webs.com/photos/DD-sketch-ink-1.gif[/img]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] I will get my hands on some Copic Sketch markers next week (if everything goes according to plan), so ofcourse I want to try them out, eventhough I never worked with them. I find it very scary, because in traditional art, you can mess up and not be able to fix it! *panics*. [/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype]It will be a good lesson. Nevertheless I thought I'd scan the WIP, incase I mess up and want to try it digitally instead because of it [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Tong.png[/img]. [/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype]I got really spoiled with doing things digitally. The inking alone was scary! But I think I did quite alright for a noob [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Yay.png[/img], if I may say so myself. [/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] Did use a ref for the pose, though the look on her face was an (happy) accident. I left out the mask on purpose. I'm gonna go with that Mike took a picture of her just before she headed out and she was like... "do you really have to do that?"[/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] Aaaanyway, long story short, thought I'd share [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Wink.png[/img].[/color][/b][/size][/font]

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] Cheers Fireheart! That is correct [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Yay.png[/img]. I wanted to try something new, away from my usual style, more comic or manga - like. So I've been looking at a LOT of David Nakayama sketches and was trying to go that way, but ended up with something in between, making her look like she's back in her (late) teens. Oh well, we were all young once [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Wink.png[/img]. - well except for the clones, but let's not get into that [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Tong.png[/img].

Speaking of sharing. As I was into sketching and finished inking Dee's sketch, I thought I'd make one of Mike too (I picked my own chars, because I'm familiar with them so don't have to spend time researching the details). I got word today that my copic sketch markers will arrive tomorrow! *cheers happily*. I'm aware I probably won't have all the colors I'll need to color either one of these (it's expensive stuff afterall), but I can get started and maybe my friend Mary has a few colors I can use on wednesday.
I shouldn't get too excited. But it went well sofar! *calms herself down*.
Anyway, here's Mike's sketch progress right up to inking.[/color][/b][/size][/font]

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] Here's a little update on the coloring with copic sketch markers.
Must admit, t's quite fun to learn traditional coloring this way. The little brushtips of those markers are very pleasant to work with.[/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype]As you may be able to tell, I still need lots of practise... and more colors to make the blending less harsh. Also made a tiny mistake with Mike's neck, on which I accidentally used skincolor on [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Blush.png[/img]. Fixing that is not as easy as CTRL+Z I tell you! *giggles*[/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype]Oh and also... having the right sort of paper must really help, because I'm not using that as I'm still in "try-out" mode.
All'nall, I think this went quite alright for someone who never worked with markers before [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Yay.png[/img]. [/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype]To bad I'm not rich and was not able to buy all the colors, for now I can't go on with these *pouts*.
Luckily it's my birthday next month, so I'll know what to ask [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Wink.png[/img][/color][/b][/size][/font]

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype]Lately I've picked up my other hobby, writing, again. Writing daily, at least 1000 words. I love it, but... I noticed (too late) that I've been doing so in bad positioning. The table I sat at, is slighty too high, which resulted in me getting some nerve issues in my right shoulder and wrist. And that makes it very uncomfortable to work with computers for long periods of time. Mind, I don't use my "gaming/drawing" computer for writing. There are too many destractions on it [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Tong.png[/img].[/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype]So I made a few other sketches, as I can still draw traditionally without suffering [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Yay.png[/img]. And I've been playing with the idea of drawing Bobby's character for quite some time now (even before the bad news). I figured now would be a really good time to try and lighting up his days. The fight is really hard on him and he's being such a champion dealing with it all.[/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype]So, long story short (I do that a lot, huh...): Here's a drawing of Lady Judgement, inked 'n all. Didn't make a scan of the pencils, cuz I was in a zone [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Wink.png[/img]. I shall color it as soon as I can.[/color][/b][/size][/font]

I like it!
Only... the eye-shields... they don't appear to be the same size. I like the shape of near one best, which makes the far one seem slightly mis-shapen and small - even accounting for perspective and the fact that we wouldn't be able to see all of it, from this angle. At first, I thought the face, itself was skewed, but then I realized it was because the eye-shields visually anchor things, so well.
And it may be that I'm just not seeing things, or describing what I'm seeing very well. *shrug*
Be Well!

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype]As I will be coloring this digitally, I'll have another look at proportions and such and see if I can fix 'm. Though I must admit... mirroring the image (which is a neat trick to suddenly see the things that are out of proportion), doesn't give me many alarming sights. Maybe her left eyeshield may be a tiny bit too high (or the right one too low :P). I don't know. I'll work on it when my shoulder says I can [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Wink.png[/img]. Thanks very much! [/color][/b][/size][/font]

All these became mixed-media drawings as I used pencils, ink, copic sketch marker, bruynzeel viltmarkers and colored the capes (and other dark grey/black areas) with Paint Shop Pro 9 after scanning the drawings. Oh and I have smudged a little of the bruynzeel colors on Mikes armor as they were very 'stripey'.[/color][/b][/size][/font]

As for the digital one, I finished it and will have it put on canvas as I know he has a little collection of his character on canvas already.

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] Now, normally, I don't mention my birthday, but I had such a lovely one yesterday, filled with LOADS of cake (of which half I made myself), a house filled with family and friends who gave awesome presents and still two more to come my way! - I have no clue what they are either [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Yay.png[/img]![/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] There was a coconut based basket (filled with soap, lotion and that kind of stuff), candels, plants (even a palm tree!!), chocolate bars and money, which I have spent on a soft, fluffy, warm, pink and white fleece plait and tomorrow I'll be buying my very own licenced copy of the new, incredibly impressive drawingprogram Mischief!

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] I'm very sad. I have been very sad since yesterday, eversince I heard the bad news that my car SuperSAM aka my Supermustuki, must be leaving my side, to go to car-valhalla. On January the 4th he would become a 20 year old car and he was so close to get to the 200.000 km (124.274 miles) on the counter [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Sad.png[/img]. I am going to miss my buddy on wheels. He's been so loyal and has never left me stranded. But with this year's obligatory check up (MOT?), he failed several tests so severely he was declared a danger on the street. My hero has gone rogue, I could say *grins with a sad look in her eyes*. [/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype]But as Christmas has arrived and, with that, several Christmas dinners that take place an hour drive (with car) from where we live (trust me, buses are no option in this case, and there are no trains in this part or the country), we had to find a replacement.
Today SuperSAM got introduced and I'm sure he passed on the torch with approval. [/color][/b][/size][/font]

You were there for me when I needed you the most and I'm forever grateful. [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Cry.png[/img][/color][/b][/size][/font]

Eventhough "the German" is registred in my name, I consider the car to be my BF's as it's more his taste than it ever will be mine.

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] We already passed halfway February, my word, time flies! Just wanted to let you lot know, I'm still around! Drawing is on a low level as I'm working hard to finish my book. (I've got my own deadline set on May 1st.) Here and there I do a sketch, and not so long ago I actually finished a digital portrait, but it's not CoX related, so I didn't share. It's on my DA page though.
I am keeping an eye out for updates on the Media Sharing part of the forums. Lurking, so to say [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Wink.png[/img].[/color][/b][/size][/font]

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] The rumors were true! (what rumors? [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Tong.png[/img]) I've been working on a request (yes, CoX related!) I started a little while back, and promised a whole lot sooner. I'm afraid this is the only preview though, cuz I'm not sure it was supposed to be a secret or not (which is why I'm not mentioning the requester or the character name here [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Wink.png[/img]).

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] Now, I've been doing some requests lately (still working on several (yes, CoX related) projects actually, but I wanted to throw in one of my own aswell. Unfortunatly I won't be able to work on either one of them because I'll be away next week and won't have my pc with me *looks anxious*. But here's a look at Mike and DeeDee... mind, in a very early stage. So early, I quickly gave them shirts to wear, because it would be quite inappropriate otherwise [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Ooh.png[/img]

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype]I may be able to work a little more on it this week (as it's still in early stage and there aren't a lot of memoryeating layers yet), depending on the state of the laptop. I will find out when I find out hehe. I bought the thing to play CoH on while I was somewhere else then at home (and also, so I could work on my writing [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Innocent.png[/img]). It's considered an oldie now and I will have to upgrade the drivers and stuff, but I'll do my best to get it working.

I note the 'summer weight' costume on Mike. Much easier to draw, yet cool and stylish just the same. He can save the heavy armor for those more serious, lava and abrasion situations, when he's not feeling so invulnerable.
As for those shirtless moments... well, maybe you don't need to publish those. Unless Sapphic Neko talks you into it, in which case it's... totally voluntary, right? *grin*
Be Well!
Fireheart
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] Yeah, I figured as it's summer, he may want to trade part of his suit to something less warm. Dee may wear a ventilating suit, but Mike's is not that fancy [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Innocent.png[/img].[/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] I noticed I was reluctant to draw his suit. It's a complicated one to draw. A challange every time, due to many details that have be quite right to make it look right. I've done it a few times now and I can understand why other artists choose to draw DeeDee instead heheh. So.. summersuit it is! And indeed, as long as the situations are not too serious, he'll be just fine. [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Wink.png[/img][/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] I won't publish shirtless moments without the approval of both characters...and they don't approve [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Tong.png[/img], though Neko has deffinitely tried to pursuade Dee *giggles*. [/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] It's interesting to see how a sketch can turn out so different when being colored! I can't show you a preview atm due to slow laptop, but when I'm done I'll put up a gif for those who like seeing the progress.

It's just up to detailing Dee's mask and figure out a background now. After that it's back to another request I was working on earlier. Couldn't work it it during my "vacation" as it has some glowing things going on and the slow laptop couldn't handle that.

Cute freckles!
{edit}
Erm, I keep looking at this final DeeDee face and... it just seems a tad off. It seems too narrow and her nose has no shape? Mike's face has a perfectly good nose, well defined, clear shape to it. DeeDee's face, in this image, seems slightly... blurred, like it wasn't made in the same resolution and got disproportioned when merged with the rest of the image.
It... itches, in my mind, because it's so very good, yet not quite Right?

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] Cheers! everyone![/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] @Foradain, I did! I can't seem to stick with one avatar *giggles*[/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] @Fireheart, Cute freckles *grins*. I actually copied the ones I have on my face, figuring Dee is me and I am Dee [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Tong.png[/img]. So.. thanks!

[b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype]Iknow what you mean with the nose. It's been bugging me too. But since I've been working on it for day after day, I can't seem to fix it. So I decided to let it go for now and pick it back up later, after a new study of noses *giggles*. First I'll finish "the other request" and then I'll give Dee a nosejob [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/funny.gif[/img]. Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated![/color][/b][/size][/font]
[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] @WP. Teehee, thanks! Eyes are probably my most favorite part to draw. I actually made a tutorial about that once... it's a long one, lots of reading, but with images aswell [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Wink.png[/img]. I put it up in the Tips and Tricks thread a while back: http://cityoftitans.com/comment/35549#comment-35549[/color][/b][/size][/font]

I see what you mean. I was watching the animated gif and you could actually see it shift....especially on one of the last frames...the nose shifted a good bit to the left and "blurred" out a lil. the new version has better definition....and looks good! :)
[img]http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/whiteperegrine/84183/69278/69278_original.gif[/img]
Yup, I saw the same shift in the animation. The new and improved nose is much better, yes. It's a good face. *grin*
Be Well!
Fireheart
sooo...looking at the two pics (masked and unmasked. did you darken up the masked version (or lighten up the unmasked version)? reason I ask is that the masked version looks slightly darker, can see the difference, especially in their hair between the two pics. just curious. :)

[color=#FD5185][b][size=15][font=Palatino Linotype] haha! Keen eye! Yes it is. It's accidental too. I seem to have saved over the orinal version when I was done. Sometimes I use Photoshop to work a little more with the color/contrasts 'n stuff. That's what I did.
And then I had to go back and fix Dee's nose when I realised what I had done [img]http://www.deedeeproductions.nl/images/DeeDee/Smilies/Blush.png[/img].
So yeah, the one with the mask is darker indeed.

Looks good, and I'm sure these boots are much more comfortable than the ones in the first preview. ^_^
I'm going to see if I can use Paint to show how the rings on the staff should look, to get around the language barrier. Wish me luck!
(I only have your word that their is a language barrier, DeeDee. Your written English is as good as most that I see. Certainly far better than my skill in the handful of languages I've studied.)

Hopefully you can see the lime green I looped around the two inside curves of the enlarged view of the endcap. Those curves make the endcap and the rings look more like the ones in the ad than I was wanting. They should be removed, and the outside curves connected, to make it look like a single wide ring, and not two narrow rings.
The first ring below her hand should be moved up to the balance point of the staff, with the other three rings between that one and the endcap spread out evenly. The one next to her hand might be too high, the even spacing should continue.
Arcane runes on the rings are optional; they're mostly misdirection, anyway. ^_^
