Really wonder, and envious, how you guys can come up with such clean artworks. Is it because yours are vectors and mine's all pixel or am I just too messy and lazy to polish my art? xD Guess I'm in bad need of a clean-art sensei.

Haha honestly if you'd see my high res files and zoom in the lineart they're really wonky.

My works aren't really vectored hehe all done with brushes, masks, gradient and lasso tool. Masks help a lot to clean stuff you dont want to be seen in your canvas but might be useful later on :3

I saw some tutorials lately on DA on clean lineart.. Ill share it to you guys later when i get home.

And oh on pixel. Im actually messy at it too. But it helps making different colored bg layers with different saturations to test if there are stray pixels in your canvas. Idk if KamiKali and Khifee does the same too when they're working on pixel art but you might wanna ask em too xD theyre like the pixel art authorities here hehe

Hope that helps.

I see! Now I know what I've been doing wrong with my artworks. Haha! But really, these masks and lasso tools are quite too complex for me to master or maybe I just haven't invested a lot of patience into learning how to incorporate their use in my projects. kkkkkkkk

Thanks for the handy tips! ^^

 

Edit: What I meant by pixels were actually brushes. Faulty diction .xD

it took me sometime to adjust to masking too. but you'll get there its the best cheat lolol. (i use that a lot when recoloring sprites from Ragnarok for sigs . i was only forced to use and learn it here at work haha. and now im using it on my personal art

thank you hope i could make Ragnarok watercolors sometime (ill probably start with the art trades)

late update TuT was busy last week with tons of work and activities (i joined a museum exhibit -- a  pay it forward activity where random people get to pick postcards of their liking and they get to keep it -- if its an original copy, they're lucky lol.)

 

now coloring Pandy's genetic- revised a bit on the pose and lineart so took me a bit long (proportion got weird somewhere lol)

i actually felt like that when i applied here. but turns out, most of the things i'm applying are stuff i learned from work than what i learned from art school

[ROCKheir]

@Laz & BlueRose thanks guys ^^

updated commissions history on the 1st page. it should link to the artworks created per client   

a great  to all of my clients. you helped me fund my chara's equips in combination to the stuff i bought on the CS. It was a hard decision leaving my Thor account for Chaos but I knew it was worth it   (i still visit Thor from time to time but i won't be as active as i am in Chaos).

Haha! Thor sucks (No offense xD). I didn't even have any qualms about trading pRO for iRO (nor bothered to migrate my account from the former to the latter) the first time I was invited to this server. 

[kokeshicat]

@rockheir- Oh were from same country!!! XD it is. I figured its much better if i started fresh in chaos lol. Im just online in thor to transfer my stuff in kafra. Never even bothered to fix my skills and stats lol. I made new friends here and i think its helping me on opening up to people after hiatus on gaming). At least you didnt have problems with your acct -- well since there'd nothing to worry anymore from your side

Hehe True. Less headache for me that way. There's always something good about starting fresh! ^^ On another note, I checked your ROPD. The name Erin Eclair rings a bell... and has your AB been stuck at lv99 for so long now like my Maestro? xD
