Oh my god, this is like, five years later... D:

Thanks, m'lady! It took some serious hand-crampage, but I guess it was worth it! :3

Yeah cameras are pretty rad. Your pictures always turn out really well, too! In fact sometimes I think the quality of the images on camera is a lot better than with a scanner. Like, if you’re scanning things with a lot of color it gets all washed out, or if it doesn’t have a lot of color it still gets washed out, or mysterious lint finds its way onto the scanner bed and gunks up the image... *sigh* Don’t even get me started on that diagonal-cropping shit. *grumblegrumble*

I’m so excited that you picked up on the color differences! It wasn’t intentional, but that just makes me like a million times more excited that you noticed. And then times that by a billion that you commented on how it added to the character’s aura. Most of the time I don’t even pay attention to that stuff. But you’re right on! One thing that always concerns me with mixing cool and warm colors is how it affects the cohesiveness of the image. Even that kind of simple color theory can kick my ass without even trying D:

Oh, birds. Life would be so empty without them

I’m so glad you like the stars! I was a little worried they'd be too trite, but sounds like it's all good Shading that tiny of a space with colored pencils is a pain though. Especially since I don’t own a pencil sharpener. (But there’s something to be said for sharpening pencils with a knife. You feel like a badass, and you get to improve your whittling skills! Win-win!)

Haha, sometimes I wish I had a scanner to work with instead of a camera. My hand isn't the steadiest, so the image gets all fuzzy. If I had a scanner and a colour program like Photoshop, I might be able to make half-decent images!

lol~ I'm glad I could make your day so awesome by commenting on the colours. It was just a detail that I picked up on when I was looking at the pic. I love colours of all kinds, and I like them more when they clash. It makes for a more interesting pic.

I especially love the stars Sharpening pencils with knives is the awesome badass artist move.

THANK YOU! Well, I try

Yep, I do most of my stuff on WC paper actually. Bristol has been known to buckle under the force of my iron fists ruthlessly crushing colored lead onto the surface as I attempt to make something pretty (translation: I color really hard). So water color paper holds up miraculously well Plus, textured surfaces are so much fun!

Thank you so much!

They totally are! Until they poop on you, (which happened today), although that was a seagull. I kind of expect that from seagulls *grumble*
