Aaaaa I haven't posted in a while... again. Sorry!

A quick question; would anyone like to start an art trade with me? I've been a bit unmotivated in terms of art recently, and trades would be a great way to give me some inspiration/goals etc to help me improve, as well for me to actually contribute something to the forum because I haven't really done anything in a while.
Of course nobody is under any obligation to agree! I know I'm not quite up to the standards of other people and there are a lot of trades already taking place, so I'm perfectly happy to think of other things to do ;)

I'm going to have to wait a couple days before I can start anything, so if you want to trade pm me and I'll get back to you asap. Just a quick warning that I am quite busy at the moment with one thing and another, so it might take me a little while to complete requests (hopefully not too long, fingers crossed!)

Ahh thank you! I'm glad you like it; I changed it last minute to look cooler :D

Well success, because you made her look way cooler than she really is. ;) She just likes to pretend she's cool, which is just as good.

Thank you so much Mad Robin, this is wonderful :) I got back yesterday and things have been a bit rough, but this cheered me up no end. Trees are my most favourite things and this picture is just perfection in every way thank you

I think I should be finished with yours tomorrow, at least I hope so ^_^ we shall see

(also, please don't die Mad Robin, you are too much a source of awesomeness for that to happen!)

And again: I don't know what Gwenno's doing. But it's obviously related to the troll hunting somehow.


That's all.
And that's how Mad Robin died.
The end.

Photoshop Day 2:



So here is Sóley as drawn in photoshop. She looks like she's 12 and just stole a whole bunch of cookies. Also her hair is really poofy.

Also I drew this



I'm not sure who that is, but she likes to make runes.

Ana Nymus: I love how you used the apple picker as an arrow!

Piney: As Haiz said, you deserve all the admiration for keeping up with all the ssssonas. I love seeing all of them in your style, they look so cute!

North: Now I really want to see more of your art, your style is really pretty!

Viola: I think your photoshop drawings are really cool! I like her hair and the way you colored her clothes, and the runes are cool too. The only thing that I think could be changed is the first drawing's resolution, it is a little granulated.

Just draw on a bigger canvas! I usually use upwards of 1000x1000 and save as a .png, not a .jpg/.jpeg, because jpg/jpeg compress the file and lose quality.
YEET

I'm not a expert, but I think it can be because of the format. You must have saved it as JPEG, which is the format with the lowest resolution. Perhaps if you save it as PNG the resolution will be better!
Or it can be that the drawing is small and you resized it, or the site resized it automatically, distorting the lines.

Thank you! I'm currently working on my part of an art trade with Haiz, so you'll hopefully see something soon :) My style is a bit all over the place, especially since I tend to switch colouring mediums a lot, but I'm glad you like it! ::)

Finished my art trade with Unlos (:

Spoiler: With background: • show




Spoiler: without background: • show




Also, there's way too many people for me to quote, but I still really enjoy what people draw, it's really impressive (:

And, people have a set style, unlike me, who just sort of involuntarily jumps from one thing to another ;_; :P

Still up for art trades.

Aaaaa I haven't posted in a while... again. Sorry!

A quick question; would anyone like to start an art trade with me? I've been a bit unmotivated in terms of art recently, and trades would be a great way to give me some inspiration/goals etc to help me improve, as well for me to actually contribute something to the forum because I haven't really done anything in a while.

Just a quick warning that I am quite busy at the moment with one thing and another, so it might take me a little while to complete requests (hopefully not too long, fingers crossed!)

I'd love to do an art trade with you (: Should I just PM you details?

I'm glad I got him down!
Nah, I wouldn't force someone to do an art trade like that. It's part of an effort to draw all the 'sonas - I did months ago when there were fewer people. But if you want to draw a mini-portrait of my 'sona, I'm not discouraging you... :)

I'll do that then :P Everything from the neck and up is within my comfort zone (which is part of why I'm finding these art-trades so valuable, it's a good way to do something I don't normally do :P Then again, I also don't normally draw a lot of girls either >_>)

Edit:

There, done:

I have to admit the expression was me guessing based on the picture in the infodump >_> Hopefully it's at least not too out of character >_>

Well this is going to pale in comparison to recent art, but I finally finished my art trade with Unlos. Sorry it took so long! This was the thought process: Hmmm, apples, apples. How do you get apples off the really high branches? *remembers when her brother and father decided to use a bow and arrow to get a frisbee out of a tree* Yeah, that could work. So now your sona has the impractical and silly apple picker arrow to shoot at those really high branches. ;D



Wow, I didn't see this until now (work yesterday, and my phone doesn't display most of the art), so I haven't replied until now, but I love it! Such a great idea, most best apple picking method indeed! Thank you thank you!!

Wee, that is lovely! I love it, the hair, the expression, the pose and the shine on the apple. Thank you, yours is in the works!
(working all day again tomorrow but tuesday is my day off and a good day to finish it, I think:-)
