Okay, this photo's prolly not the best example, but if done well tilt-shift technique can make a photo look like very much like a miniature scale model.

I actually did notice that before I read your comment, but I didn't know at first that was what you were going for.

@Meta

You really can draw with pc, and just with a mouse!!! You're talented :D and the original version of the lake pic, awesome!! Looks like a very beautiful and peaceful place.

@Hel

I like your Sailor Moon drawing a lot! Other your drawings are excellent too!

@Lotus

Great job with your latest card indeed, it's nice see you developing your skills all the time :)

Like I said earlier, I'm a big fan of nature pics and I like taking them by myself too so here are some examples. The pics are taken with iPhone, so don't expect HD quality. I haven't edited the pics.

@Hel: I liked how you did the hair with different different colors. Nice effect. I also like the second Hades better than the first one of hades, although the first had a different feel to it which was interesting.

Here's a club picture I made. All I did was the text, drawing done by someone else.

thx :)
I think this one looks kind of more finished than the other.. I think I should put some time into the first one again ^^

about the club pic you posted.. I'd suggest you to try putting the 'join now' between the space of his horns and wings (or whatver that black stuff is :P)
and same for the rest of the text.. I think it would look better if it doesn't touch Ichigo.. though I'm not quite sure if you can make it with the space there..

Thanks. Yeah, I actually noticed the same thing after I had already posted here (I was feeling too lazy to rehost another image). And so I did move the join now before I posted it in the club (which was a direct upload, no rehosting required). As far as the part touching Ichigo, I wanted the text to be as large as possible, but I see your point

If you decide to redo the first one that looked more like a painting, show us here. I'm curious how it turns out. Also, consider looking into Corel Painter which has more options I think, though maybe the newer photoshop is good too. I suck worse at painting than I do at drawing so I can be of little help. Well, one or two things. The shading seems off, but I don't know how to fix that. Also, it seems like you have a couple different styles going on which might not necessarily be a bad thing, but maybe if you had a more cohesive style throughout it might be better.

Here's something that I was working on a few years ago but never got around to finishing. Maybe posting it here will motivate me to work on it again. It's composite of different buildings from the college I went to, Ohio State University. College Town is the actual name of one of the bookstore. The bottom half of the bookstore I replaced with a fraternity house (notice the columns). The arch to the right is from a building on campus. I need to figure out how to blend things together better.


Update: The image is getting screwed up so I'm going to try posting chunks.

The sun doesn't set down for 74 days in the very northern parts, so yes midnight sun really does exist.

Wow, composition looks very nice even it's uncompleted, just keep going your work and that will be a masterpiece!

Wow, you really are an eskimo (or one of Santa's elves). I'd love to see some more of those sunsets.

Thanks. It's taken so long to do, I kind of want to go out and rephotograph those scenes with a better camera.

Yea, I know. ^^
But I think I'm a bit stubborn when it comes to that, because I'm not interested in finding my own style. I can understand that there is also a value to having one. Yet there are artists, for example on da, who are great artists, really, but their style just takes over over everything they draw and even if they draw another pose/character and so on, it kind of always looks the same and I'm sorry, but that gets kind of boring. (I don't want to sound too negative or whatever, because those artists I have in mind, where I realized that, have great abilities and I'm nowhere near those.)
It seems to me that they style took over their originality.

Then again :P It's not like I'm thinking that much when I try to do something. The reason why I draw in different styles is rather that I like it. I like pictures with rather bold(?) coloring, but I also like detailed pictures where there was put a lot of work into careful shading and so on, as well as simple, exact pencil drawings or messy sketches.

Or maybe I should say, I don't want a technique to be my style.
This might be the actually problem of what I described before.

(Aside that I think I can't draw as well that I should care about a style.. An own style is something that comes on it's on, with developing his/her own abilities, I think.. I don't feel like I have to waste a thought about it..)

Ok, now I wrote too much o.o'

@Lotus: You meant that the shading was a bit off.. that was about the painting like Hades one, not?
I agree on that.. especially around the mouth I think.. well.. I gave it another try, so please tell me what you think:

Those look really good. The only thing I'd say is that the lines for the hair need to be a bit darker and the eye's iris isn't shaded in. Other than that, you pretty much nailed it. Have you thought about adding color?

@Hel
Yeah that looks better. I also really like color in the background

Today I was using a computer with a 23" monitor (I usually use a 19 or 20" monitor). I realized my cards are HUGE.

Here's some examples of what other cardmakers are doing (some are as big as mine, but most aren't)

Goofing off in class again? Bad Girl. you have 2 monitors for you computer? I usually don't buy new things until my old ones break so I think I'll keep my small monitor for awhile longer. Thanks, when I saw that image online (and I came upon it sort of randomly) I knew I had to have it. I was cute and awesome at the same time. I found a chibi Aizen for you since he's your favorite.

The bigger monitor is from my old pc, that went broke couple of years ago. After that I decided to buy a laptop and connected the old monitor which was still in a good condition to it.

We had some lessons in computer classroom, so I didn't cut off the class.

Thanks for chibi-Aizen, it's very cute : 3
