Ah. You're right.
It was Photoshop.
:D

paul - 06/29/07 20:14
limsey I think he means Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Freehand - the program and you mean freehand the technique because it can't be all done in photoshop 7 and also done in the program Freehand.

limsey - 06/29/07 19:58
This was all done in photoshop 7.
Yes, the outline was freehand. Most of the coloring was too.

vycious - 06/28/07 17:59
looks like it was outlined in freehand. am i right?

imk2 - 06/28/07 17:36
what program did you color the picture in?

A drawing

Okay, okay.
This picture was drawn in BLUE pen before it was scanned in grayscale. I've put it in photoshop and I'm weighing whether I should go through the trouble of coloring it or leave it as is.

But to explain, this is the same character in my avatar or "profile picture" though on a more serious note.

He's just a tad evil.

limsey - 06/02/07 10:33
ha ha! It's not blood! It's...
venom.

ladycroft - 05/31/07 14:28
nice, i like the blood drips coming from the mouth.

Cute!

Well, well. I've had lots of fun on elouai.com.
I made a nice little pixelated doll of my mum.

(imk2, below)

Aww. Isn't she a cutie?

lilho - 05/03/07 12:44
cute!

metalpeter - 05/02/07 19:44
Not that I like to use the term adorable but yeah it does look like that. Not sure if she really looks 14 in that picture or if often that style of art is used for kids who are around that age. The clouds that are blushing and have blue eyes are interesting.

limsey - 05/02/07 19:38
I was talking about the picture. Heh. But the point IS for her to look 14! It's adorable!

metalpeter - 05/02/07 19:34
I find that kinda a trick question. Are you talking about (e:imk2) or the picture of Her? Plus in that picture as cute as it is she looks about 14 well maybe a little bit older hard to tell in that style of art.

New Avatars, Whoopie!

Hey, everyone!
I've recently decided that I needed my own, hand-drawn user pic.
Of course, I love drawing avatars because they're small and quick to color.
But as I was coloring...I wondered,
"What color scheme is this meant to be?"
I quickly decided to make several so I could change them, depending on my mood.
GENIUS!

I dedicate these pics to the first season ending theme for FullMetal Alchemist!
This style of coloring was directly insipired from that.

Hm.
While I'm on the subject...
Anybody else watch Family Guy?
American Dad?
Futurama?

Y'know (this is limsey) The red was going to originally be a dark orange. Thanks for commenting!

paul - 04/14/07 19:50
I think it would look good in orange.

limsey - 04/14/07 15:29
sorry...this is (e:imk2), i cant sign you out of my computer.

limsey - 04/14/07 15:22
so what moods do the individual colors correspond with? those are really cool. post more drawings please!

Moody Drawing

I have a problem about drawing.
I can't really draw unless I feel...inspired. Inspired meaning, I have to either be in either a really good mood or a really bad one.
If I try drawing while in an in-between mood,
I get really frustrated because my pictures look horrible.

Luckily, I've gotten into a weird mood.
Don't know what that is,
but you'll understand once I finish this picture.
It's a picture I've wanted to draw for a long time, since maybe...
a year ago?
Well, that's okay! It at least gives me hope for all the other projects I've abandoned.

Meh.
I needed to post something.

carolinian - 03/14/07 22:49
I know the feeling. I find that some of my best work (writing and programming) is often the stuff I put down in frustration and come back to years later. When I revisit something I've done years later, I also have found that what I've done is actually pretty good, it just seemed really crappy at the time, and I wonder how in the heck I ever thought that what I did could be that bad.
