aw, is your page ever going to reappear? and wow, I keep forgetting that you live in Japan...that is SO cool. I really want to visit there one day! and lol SUBWAY! I love subway. actually, I didn't eat a turkey either, so no need to be jealous ;D but I got to spend time with family and friends, so it was nice.

and yeah, I do have immunity! after I got deleted the first time, haha. hm, I will definitely try to draw there some time in the near future. =P

My profile has been gone for months now *lol* in Japan we don't celebrate Thanksgiving and you can't buy turkey (unless you go to Subway) icon I had the day off by a fluke, but I don't recall doing anything special outside of study cramming grammar and kanji. How about you, did you eat a big fat turkey?! *jealous*

BTW: do you still have your account on Pallid's site? If you don't have immunity, please request it. The oekaki board has been dead for a while and needs its artists icon I miss visiting there!

hmm...for some reason the contrast in my pictures always turns out weaker than I want it. oh well. need to keep working on that.

awww, I like the pattern of light on his back/shoulders <3 He looks a bit melancholy =( but still beautiful!

 

That happens to me too. Once I have a base down, I usually have to make another layer, set it on multiply, and darken it in key areas. Then rinse, wash, repeat as necessary.

For this one, the level of dark seems appropriate though. Like he's hiding out under some shallow brush during the day. I like it ^______^

y'know, I have the same problem a lot. it's almost automatic now to jump over to photopaint when I'm done and bump the contrast a notch, and then be amazed at how much difference it makes XD
