The colour version of THESE GUYS!!! Anime to the max (sort of)!!! Isn't that cool? I admit my colouring skills have developed somewhat
since then. Actually, I thought it was pretty cool having the armour shadows
on a different layer than the colour of the armour itself, since I could
just use the dodge tool and it wouldn't change the shadows at all! I had
a little trouble with Phil's glowing sword, though. I think Eric's flamethrower
turned out better than I could have expected.Peggy has pearls on the collar of her armour. She's 'the girl', after all. Somehow even though Eric's main colour is green I think of him as 'the blue guy'.
I'm not sure how they walk. Maybe they have giant jets built into those oversized boots, and they just hover wherever they need to go. >_<7
I do need to find a new way to draw lines, though - the way used here is just using the 'straight line' tool (I only have Photoshop 5) over top of the original sketch. I didn't know about the 'multiply' setting either...
There is a new chapter of In the Shadows Beyond This World ready to go, but I have to send it to myself since it's on my other computer.
I finished my Lutheran job this morning, and this afternoon I saw Michael at the 4:00 Mass at Holy Cross, and a piano student named Derek whom we've all seen around was part of the little band that they had there... how nice! The selections that they played (using Gather) brought back memories of Christ the King... and playing there, especially since they also did the Gloria (E+) of Mass of Creation (?). Which Derek did very well. I remember the 6/8 vs 3/4 that's going on throughout the whole thing.
I forgot to mention that yesterday part of my dream was that I was given a whole lot of Flairé fanart! That was pretty cool, especially the one of Flairé sparring with Marteth... I'll have to draw it sometime to show you!
Tomorrow, I mean, next time, we get back to the normal old fare of sketchbook sketches. Yay. I have to go write 15 bars of 7/4 modal motival violin solo now.
