Lights Up!

Update! I got the inked version scanned! :lol:
I realized how addicted to dodges I am...more than I thought I was. :p
Here they are!























Here's a close-up on the detail I loved. =P I like shines...


Well, yeah, I'm a dodgaholic...
















Some MOAWR shots. :D











































This time, let's go to Nen. :lol:

The BG of wings are cute to me. =p


:O sorry, Nen, you're not exactly the main chara here in the first place...

New Characters: UPDATE

Dammit, I really, really wanna refer to Laazulla as Xene now... I see the resemblance too muchie...:(
BTW, it's read as [LAH-zu-la], in case you pronounce is as [LAH-ah-zoo-lah}, okies now?
Well it's not my fault if my hair looks good on one side or another...it does weird things, so she came out like that, and came out looking like Xene!!! :faint:

I know I had a real name for Nen, but I can't find in anywhere on my mind now...:( I wish I was Internet and store 10 MB+++++++++ memories for one day, noe?

So SUGGEST A NAME NOW!!!

I have these (for Laazulla) on my mind:
Varuna
Chill (?! wow)
Ixion
Rhapsody
Bliss
Flight
Feather

For Nen:
Azura
Azure
Fayne
Metruschka?! :faint:
Kathura


BUT PLEASE SUGGEST A NAME, if I have to beg you then I would, just suggest a name!!


PREVIEWS!!
Before I forget, here are some preview pics on my work on them.

Still working on Laazulla...she's too detailed, but I'm really excited to color her. Having hard time on choosing palette/tones for her, I don't know if I'd want to continue, but I WILL. :P Or at least I'll try extending my patience on this. ;P

Keep an eye on this!
Detail on the hair accessories. Told ya she looks expensive. :D Peacock feathers are so hard to do...=.=zzzz




I like weird designs...:lol:


You don't make sense at all...

Sorry if I sound so cool of myself here, guys... I feel stupid just reading these. Really, sorry, guys. I just wanna love these two right now.

New Characters On Board!

I will make more exposure*coughfloodcough* for my new characters. :)

First: Laazulla Feirengard. Spoiler alert! She is the amnesiatic Frhaine. O.O Reniel "adopted" her. That's all for now. Enough spoilers. You don't like getting spoiled, do you? Laazulla looks...expensive. (No, not rich. I'm not dumb, okei???)


Second: "Nen". A young warrior girl who happens to be a princess from another country, but ran away before getting engaged. O.O -lol, wut?
She addresses herself as Nen, and first presented herself as a weakened girl to get Reniel train her. :o Quite decieving in her own ways...

So now this raises a question: Which one is the friend, and which is the foe?

And...why do I see a yuri pairing here!?!??! :faint:

Working for the Contest

I'm working on this li'l baby here. Notice her? Yeah, she's the one I've been pixellizing before, but I lost interest since that Valentine accident...

As you all know by now, I joined a contest. It's clayscence's contest
and there are really good prizes, so I wanna win now, probably because I lost my self-esteem on the previous contest that I joined before that didn't even judge it correctly. T_T Enough about that.

Anyway, you can see that I'm not completely done yet with this thing... I can't get the proper shadings for the nose! :jawdrop: I need some help, gaizz!!! Xo

Besides, I don't know how to do the weapons well... Then the ear...ears aren't my thing...:(

But I love the eyes here, though I was aiming for a silver theme, both for the hair and eyes. Who doesn't love silver, ya knoe?

WAIT!!! Don't call her Judy Ann Santos, okeii?!??!?
She's Frhaine Anderville, and MY anime side. T_T stfu. I've been dreaming to be an anime, so, you know, I could make anime expressions without looking dumb. And, come on, guys, my hair does weird things! So don't wonder why it's like that...messy...

Blank

Now I own Photoshop CS3.
I'm still remorsing over the loss of my lovely Valentine Wallpaper... That's the work that I was the most proudest of... I never really do such good lightings like on that. :( Do you know how it feels to lose something you worked hard on?

Yeah, I think this blog is becoming my main rant site ever since I lost it... Well no one really pays attention here. From now on, I'll save everything I do on my email. T_T

My cousin wouldn't chat with me anymore...

That aside, our 4th monthly exams are tomorrow. I should be reviewing now, but I just can't get over my art...:(

I Died

So that's probably not a literal title for this. T_T But seriously, I think I did die for three days... I suffered three days without the computer. Isn't that enough to call myself dead for three days?
Sorry if I wasn't able to keep up with my Valentine animation... See, this is how it goes.

Tuesday: we watched Passion of the Christ, it was moving. I wanted to express my ideas on my blog. I got home. I went in front of the computer, then my idioic brother told me that the computer doesn't work AGAIN (fu**s***thisb****edupcomputer*)! I tried rescuing it, but later on it hangs up, and it wouldn't let me configure the settings!!!! :X Before that, my idiotic brother told me that while he was using the computer, it hung up, then when he restarted it, it acted weird and was saying "Boot from disk" or something like that, just like what happens to our very previous computer.I thought my dad could fix it, but when I found out that he can't, I knew I was doomed. That night, mom decided that she'd take the CPU to her brother, my uncle (Tito Bong) because he can fix things. =P

Wednesday: my brother said that my mom told him that the CPU is repaired, but there are still no applications/programs installed, so my aunt (Diz's mom) has to bring the installer CD (DVD format, I think...) of Granado Espada, and Diz's Photoshop CS2. I thought I'm gonna be happy after this day... My uncle said he couldn't continue repairing the computer because the line was long (a long line of whatever he's falling in line for T_T)
Thursday: Valentine's Day. I was supposed to be happy, not only because we were allowed to wear casual clothes (but with color coordination of pink/red/white), but also because I was expecting that I'd get the CPU back this day. BUT NO!!!!And I should let you know that I cried on that day! Also, I think I lost my sanity completely...as in I was laughing like crazy, then I start crying again, then...ugh, it's just crazy. On top of that, my computer teacher asked me to work on a project, since I know how to use Photoshop. But how could I?!??! First, WE DON'T HAVE THE COMPUTER AND THE MOTHERf***in'BOARD BLEW UP AND yesterday EVERYTHING HAD TO BE REFORMATTED!!!!!!!!!! Then I have no idea on HOW TO MAKE A MAHONRIAN LOGO!!!!!!! :X :X :X I have to ask my dad to do it. My teacher wants it to look 3D-fied. T_T Sure I could handle 3d-fying stuff if I wanted to, but how am I supposed to create the shapes?! I only color on Photoshop! Does that mean that I have to do the shapes MANUALLY!??!?!

So that means I couldn't possibly keep up with my Valentines project... It's so sad, you know. I was really looking forward to giving you a surprise... You could never see anyhting animated in my gallery, and that Dreamworld-Frhaine icon is not an animation I consider.

Friday: I stopped expecting that I'd still get the computer, after what happened to me yesterday. My brother informed me that the CPU is now repaired. But I had to attend the Talent's Night (which barely had much talented contestants 'tch), because attendance there was equal to 20 items quiz in Math. Oh, wait! I have to tell you this! I got 30/30 (perfect score!!!) on Geometry that Friday, too!!!! And I didn't copy on my classmates, either!!!! Well, we had the problems solved on Thursday, but it seems that my classmates don't know how ot follow instructions, and since I know the answers of yesterday's problem and I understood it, everything was polished :D (although I wasn't completely sure of where to place "D" on that problem, but heck I got it right!)
So night came, and when I got home (my brother went home earlier) my parents and Patrick (brother) were in front of the computer, I think they were installing Granado Espada. Mom said that the Photoshop was looking for the serial number. We had it, but it was asking us to purchase the product! When we tried to purchase it, I had to create an Adobe account, which did nothing to save my CS2! Up to the previous minutes, I was trying to get my CS2 activated, but it didn't work. T_T So I found out that CS2 is considered an old version, even though the CS3 and CS2 aren't such big leaps over another. T__T

So up to now, people, I sitll can't work on my Valentines project. I'm really sorry...
I don't know if I should continue on that contest, too. :worry: I mean...I have to redo everything. I have the base colors, but the colors I have in my previous Photoshop is lost forever, dudes... So I have to suffer massive eyedropping(s) and repeat burns, dodges, and smudges on my OC art. :(

All in all, I could spell my weekend as D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R. But at least I learned and reflected a lot on Passion of the Christ...


(I'll try deleting this upsetting entry later on. Don't worry now.
I apologize for the cusses and bad stuff. :( Tell me if it upsets you mostly.)

Black Valentines

Black Valentines was my theme when I planned this. While this was on my mind, I told myself that "I'd animate this, then I'd get megatons of :+fav:s!!! :evillaugh:", that was my planned author's comment there...
But after coloring the hair, when it seemed 3D to me, I thought, "man, this would be hard...some rough road to pass..." etc.

First problem: Rose. I wasted 3 f'in hours just too look for a rose that would fir the perspective of my drawing. :| Damn, I had to settle on a rose that I had to rotate, then Burn (to make it black and achieve the precious tones) and then put filter effects (dry brush)!
Second, I was aiming for a more realistic forward but I failed again... 'Di kaya ng kapasidad ko! XD!

Well, at first, that wasn't the dilemma, and I was even confident that I'd manage to get through animation easier, but THEN I remembered that I also had a shadow to put while planning this! So how would I make the shadows MANUALLY?! I had no idea how to put shadows some other way around, so I do my shadows manually (yes, no Filter effects or whatsoever.) So when I figured that the soft round brush was too weak and blurred, I knew I was on a tight spot. I then remembered about Drop Shadow effects, but when I attempted to do it, I had some troubles. The Drop Shadow settings don't include "dragging the shadow to where I want it to go" unlike in CorelDraw. :( So yeah, I spent dead 3 days on this.

And you know what? I get 6 faves, and more than 20++ downloads!!!!! X( I'm not happy! It's not fair! What if I don't get credit?! That's every artist's fear; not getting credit!!!

Anyways, happy Valentines to y'all. May you have brighter Vdays. :)

Get a life, Frhaine.
