*talks around mouthful of lemon goo and pastry, spewing bits a la Gokuh* Ah, Talon, I needed that! The next section of chapter 3, "First Heat", yadda!
NICE angst on Gohan's part and I liked bringing in Gokuh's perspective since he has been there before himself in BoaP. The exchange between Gokuh and Vejiita was well-written, by the way. I am definitely on the edge of my seat about what you are going to do with Videl element!
Hee, for some reason the idea of someone smiling while being thrown up against the wall would be considered a bit weird except we are talking about Saiya-jins here, so it is not unusual in the least! I liked how Goten and Trunks got into the spirit of the encounter too, heheh.
If it is possible to get the detail in the Gohan/Sage drawing, I hope to show a shoe falling from the roof where the half-draped window still shows sky. Still have done nothing on the drawing yet and it is calling me, tempting me but I just cannot get to it yet. But I HAVE worked on more of the Tail Ride coloured version. I desperately needed to do some art last night so after failing to get a decent oekaki drawn (I threw all three away) I went in and worked on Tail Ride for a little while. It helped my sanity. I am attempting to do the piece in flat colours but I just realized I have already put in some airbrush so I need to remove it and make the sections flat colour. It is going to interesting trying to make the tails in flat colours. I bet I will not be able to do it. I may make this compromise, keeping away from the airbrush and drawing the colours with hard line brushes and the pencil tool. That way I can put in some fur colour variations.
Gonna have to open Photoshop 6 and Photoshop 7 at the same time so I can get the fur and skintone colour swatches from 6 over to 7.
I am finding it very interesting I now HAVE to do some artwork every few days or I begin to get cranky and stir-crazy. Who would have guessed? I know I would not have believed it even a month ago. I am an artist again! No, I refuse to wear a beret or a smock! It's too hot!
Ramble
Got the syllabus completed this morning before work, whew! Sent to myself to the office account then forwarded it over to Ekta from there. What did we do without email?
Gotta go and tapdance at work now - lunacy was waiting for me at the door! Oh the joys of the first week of classes!
Thanks: --> to Lia, my sensei, who has inspired me to draw again. I
wouldn't be doing this without your support, Domo Arigato!
--> to Talon, for sending me her fabulous fics, inspiring me with her writing to draw my first
illustration for a story and actually liking what I drew.
--> to Dasia, for her words of encouragement when drawing her original chara.
--> to Joules, a wonderful epic fic writer, for liking my art enough to want to post them with Talon's
and her own stories.
--> to Lutra, the other half of the epic team, for being so supportive.
--> to Jacque' & Becca Raddittzu, we met on eBay as bidder and sellers and now we are face-to-face
friends. You showed us the real DBZ with your fansubs. It's all your fault the house is full of
doujinshi! *LOL*
