What were the older versions like? It looks like you've improved, like, a billion times since your previous posted pics! *o* I love seeing people grow artistically~

I'm trying to create something in earnest for once, but one of the downfalls of primarily being a digital artist is that I NEED a computer. Yet I still don't have a stable source of computer-ness. My tablet and phone are too stuffed with games to have drawing apps these days, as well.

Well this is a mangacap so it helps a lot instead of drawing from scratch

Im embarrassed   

[Aiwethryne]

No need to be embarrassed~ Practicing from references always helps! I remember how I learned so much about coloring techniques in SAI after eyeballing a picture of Anya from Code Geass some years ago. I'm very uncomfortable showing eyeballed practice stuff, so it'll just remain in the dark.

Which program(s) do you use again? I am amused that your username changes a little each time.

[Lilwyn]

I use CS5 but i really wanna try out Sai since every vid i see uses it and it seems easier. I watch others speedpaint vids and im not ohh i like that i wanna try it! oh its toolpaint Sai its different in CS...oh well. Would also be nice to have an updated CS but ill take what i can get.

Yeah Lillwin is the Orig and Lilwyn is two names put together and when one happens to be taken I add a letter or remove one but essentially they are they same heh

Every time i attempt to draw a male with longish hair or in a pony tail it always looks feminine to me...and end up abandoning it xD

Been working on my chibi drawings.

I plan to add one more chibi to this picture so hopefully that goes as smoothly as this one did. 

OMG chibi hibari!?  I finally found a fellow hibari fan who plays otome too! He looks so cute! This thread needs more contributions since I love seeing other artworks of fellow fans 

[member=7333]Aiwethryne[/member]: I watched Jem and the holograms! Me and my sisters absolutely love that show! I feel so old when I see the year the show started   <!-- s:bash: --><!-- s:bash: -->

[Lilwyn]

:D I have yet to encounter another who loves playing otome and knows let alone likes Hibari so that makes you my first too! Yay for Hibari!!

People are free to ignore this since it may be considered mature to some, but I have my particular feminist views.

Phallic obscenity for a coincidental rendering?
I'll just leave it at that.

My style keeps changing but I can't help it.

[Sakuragawa]

I like your new style Lilwyn. :3 Do you draw other KHR characters or is Hibari the only one?

He's the only one I've drawn so far. Though I have attempted Mukuro in the past but thats about it. There are so many pretty characters to draw from KHR that i wouldn't know who to draw other than Hibari!

Totally forgot about this one xD

Digital

Spoiler  Hidden:

This one is a WIP and has been for like...over a year. I really want to get back to it, but I'm afraid to continue and the fact that I still need to practice more on my shading. I probably will get back to it if I ever have more time.

I did this for my AP Art concentration. It's for CAPD (look it up for more information). This basically shows one of the ways I won't be able to process any info, because I hate distractions so much.

Traditional

Spoiler  Hidden:

This is my dog, Sugar.

Did that one when I was 13 for a contest.

Did a flying squirrel when I was 14. His name is Gibby.

This is about the addiction that a majority of people have for technology; apparently this is not my best one...at least that's what my art teacher said.

Hands and Feet study...liked this project.

Sign at Pensacola Beach, Florida.

I'm going to post more of my art. I just happen to not have all of my recent ones on my computer. I need to transfer them from my phone. I want to continue with my digital art...but I don't know if I'll have time.

[Kkat999]

Sooooo my best friend and I decided to finish the banshee painting together. As you can see from my last post, that is what it used to look like, and above you'll see the finished piece.

My best friend did a lot of work to it, but she also mentioned that she liked how I was about to do the outline and base colors. We both agreed to have this piece as an Art Collaboration.

[Aiwethryne]

I wanted to respond about above for ages because I reeeaaalllly want to talk about the stuff, but I am still too busy to sound intelligible for crits and so forth.

But I have a question. Someone wants to commission me to make his site logo(s), but I have no idea what to charge him... I'll consult the interwebs more, but what amount should I set it at?

He seemed to have gotten the strange idea that I only work traditionally, when the vast majority of my work is digital... =w=;; As if I'm coloring perfect, flat tones in marker. It's been way too long since I last did non-sketchy lineart with a felt tip, but he watches me sketching a few dozen times and somehow deduces that I never do anything digitally.

Maybe that is why he told me that I should make comics for Dark Horse. >__> I doubt he even realizes that I prefer drawing manga and from right to left.

[Vixey]

That's really hard to answer Aiwethryne! My degree is in advertising, and I can say that logo work can be a huge expensive branding ordeal for a company.. but it could also be something inexpensive. It's so varied, it depends on the size of the company and the logo's impact or reach, whether market research is necessary as part of the creative process..ugh I could go on so many things to consider. @_@ Sorry I'm really passionate about my industry.
My guess though is that this is a small project for a small company, so it would be a smaller scale. My advice would be to think about how you would price other kinds of art commissions, and then decide where you would rank a logo in that, to decide which other art projects it should cost more or less than. I hope that makes sense.

[Aiwethryne]

Ah, fiddlewick. XD I knew that it could widely range under 'it depends' for those reasons. But this is not even for a company, per se. That, I imagine, would be more in the realm of freelancing. It's just hard for me to really tabulate small scale because I'm just so used to simply not being paid. ;3; And being paid in food installments is so... so... *life of a poor college student*

I dunno. It's pretty bad that I never set the prices myself, but I always feel crazy happy whenever people request to purchase my paintings for $50-100, although that is only if I work traditionally. Digitally... It's just different. And typography... Argh. I'll tentatively say $15. Maybe. OTL
