Thank you guys ^_^

I could see through the head dress, but just barely It didn't help that it started to get dark

I redid the collage, it looks a lot better now, and I could include the one pic I had to cut out before.

Oddest compliment ever:
@Minami: Your lips suit the ritualist costume perfectly! It looks really nice!

I think you did a really nice job there minami; the costume turned out even better than I thought it would, really great job! I love the first pick on the new collage the best! The trees surrounding you makes a very well balanced pic.

@Nemesis-of-the-Gods: Thank you for checking up those tutorials (and sorry for not thanking you before, I've been going ballistic over that the eyes won't turn out as I want them to. I'm almost considering scrapping the idea as it just won't turn out good unless you want to have it as a poster on your wall... X_X) Although I've already got two of them.

@Eastern Magik: You're too good for me to be able to recreate what you did to my pic X_X Makes me realize that I just need to give up on it for now and work my way up there. This was the best I could do following your tip: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/20...ia-d3540wv.jpg
But I am gonna secretly practice. I love the help you've given me! ~<3

@zidane888: Your entry... wow... just... wow... ZOMGBLBRRRRPPPPPHHH!!!!!! I'm so amazed! Thought I think the char's right arm still looks a bit awkward; like one of those drawings where you start with what first comes to mind without making a proper sketch before so what you drew first looks on in the big picture. (I'm tired, don't hit me! *cries*) It truely is amazing though! Love the snowfluff!

@Flying Ninja Monk: You were working on a 144cm canvas?! No wonder your computer crashed! My lappy can hardly handle a B4 international paper size XD


And it's nice to see more people entering


Now that my new computer is more or less set up, I have some more time to keep working. Been rough with all hospital visits along with work and drawing and building computers X_X

Aww, thanks! ^_^

I just got around to watch your video, with sound on.
You sing really nice! It was very interesting to see how your process of drawing goes. Your commentary was interesting to listen to, and fun.

Very good job!

Oh and I had to laugh at being solo-singing-cover rickrolled ^_^
I also like your Lady Gaga cover video

Today is the 21st (new picture upload, winter solstice, lunar eclipse, darkest night in hundreds of years.... must be my birthday!), so here is the next piccie

This one hurt my inflamed hip the most, but fortunately you can't see that

To me, when ritualists dance, it looks like they're having so much fun. I thought a dance pose in the snow would convey that she has fun there

@Minami: Looks great! I hope the background is photoshopped in though; if it's not that would be one very cold and dangerous photo shoot .

It's all photoshopped
I live in Texas, we don't get snowy scapes like these very often
Original backgrounds include brown fences and white garage doors

Minami it's all so amazing! Excellent photoshopping, and the dance pose is really awesome, projects all the fun she's having.
The tatoos are SO AMAZING! Jeez, your sis/mother are really something to write home about...especially the hands...how in the name of Dwayna did you manage to do that? o.O
*cry slightly* No mystical green glows? XD Naah they wouldn't realy...work...well...if that makes sense....Oh and in the first bit, why is the photoshnow only covering your stomach/hands, while the head and lower skirt is totally ...not snowy? =o
Otherwise it's epic!

Thats one of the things I like best - makes it look much more mysterious and special.

Our rollercoaster is like, 90% done. Were finishing it for sure tomorrow (finishing touchs/clean up) so ill get back to work on the jingle bears. Im currently working on finishing the foreground rocks, then I'm gunna head to the chest. (might get to finish the rocks tonight; depends if i can keep focused). I also borrowed my dads camera, its better quality than mine by far so I'll try and get more photos up.
The rollercoaster took literally like 13 hours to make Dx its good to be done.

Looks amazing Zidane, very nice details and overall fantistic. I have a feeling you definitly be a winner at Anet's contest.

I like the ''mouse'' reference that the Charr always say against humans. And the mice being Gwen and Thackeray, no?
