Malroth

Due to Being Unwillingly forced to be my fathers best man at his 4th wedding (maybe this one will work) I'll be in the backwater foothills of tenesee for a week, in the snow, with nobody i want to talk to and no way to get out or do anything starting newyears. So i was wondering if there was anything anyone here would like drawn while i'm away.

Looking over my blog, it seems i only post when something incredibly bad has happened. Well nothing bad is happening now, it just felt kinda weird that I left it on such a negative note now that things are pretty much back to normal. On the upside i've got lots of time for artwork these days. On the downside my idea pool is running low. In the off chance that some people here would rather see my pics than have me spend my time playing Flash games involving monkeys and baloons I'm opening the line for requests (all kinds cept guro futa or shota) If there's something you'd like. just post a reply and i'll try to get around to it. If the request is fanart please list the series/game the character is from in addition to the name, if its an original character please link some refrence images or at least a good description.

Still no reliable power, and the internet connection is borrowed but i'm alive.

Lots of very good artists here, most of them much better than me. If you think you're one of them and have some advice that might help me improve, I'd appreciate any helpful comments you feel like giving.

Recovered some, now have most of my muscle control back, Time to get back to drawing...

Had a nervous breakdown last week during my 30th birthday, lost control of breathing, motor funcitons, language, balance and touch sensations across my entire body. It felt like my brain wasn't getting any oxygen and i was convinced i was going to die. No valid medical explanation was given at the time. Days passed of me going from one hospital to another for inconclusive tests surronding progressively worsening relapses. Finally today I became well enough to type, but I believe the antidepressants are having a somewhat unusual side effect of awakening some latent rage. only time can tell what this means for my art work .

Using a good gel ink pen or fineliner trace over your pencil lines, try to make good smooth strokes, usually the faster the pen motion the straighter the line will turn out.

Scan the picture at 300 DPI or more, do not use any auto sharpening or color enhancement, Adjust the brightness settings to minimise the appearance of the pencil lines and providing the most contrast as you can between the pen lines and their surrondings.

Trace over the blue scribbles with a good ol number 2 pencil, starting with the areas closest to the camera and working torward the background, anytime you see something that looks wrong erase and correct, add in all revalent details like how the clothing is wrinkling, hair strands eyelashes eyebrows. make liberal use of a soft white plastic eraser if you need to or have trobule getting the lines to go exactly how you want them. Take a break at this point if you need to look at your pic for mistakes as this will be one of the last times its feasable to correct major anatomical errors. once you're satisfied that the pic is looking good its time to pull out the ink.

Add in soft flexible things like the breasts and clothing making sure that they are behaving like the hands shoulders and ribs indicate they would, detail all you want at this point but right now things are probably getting hard to see, so there's no need to put in everything yet.
