Working on characters for Streets of Ganjet. If I can make decent realistic versions, I’d be able to use that as reference for the stylised versions.

I’m drawing the characters of my DnD party during sessions.
My own character first.
A Chaotic Neutral Half-Orc Bard. Dubbed by the rest of the party as the smartest character in the party due to his high sense of self-preservation. Background’s a bit shabby but I’m going to have a group picture later.

Returning to old habits.
I really need to get back to learning to post my pictures the instant I finish them. It’s something I used to do when I was a teenager, but considering my favorite posting spots have been swallowed by the internet, it’s a whole lot more difficult. Ah well, better get used to it.
May or may not be posting a whole lot of pictures in the coming few days.

Some practice with hands. Especcially those with long fingers.

Forest Scape
Just a regular forest scape made in paint-tool sai. It’s a practice with desaturated and dark colour scemes: Aka the ‘realisitic’ coloursceme of videogames these days 
.
Not too happy with the leaves, need to practice their texture a bit more.

Some poetry
Trying out a little poetry writing and styling.
Oh, how I long for the calming days
to sit down, relax
create a world in the pen ‘n paper space
then there, in full delight
I lay my useful useless time to waste.

For me the following would be more true, but I dislike the buzzwords.
Oh, how I long for the calming days
to sit down, relax
create a world in the mind ‘n media space
then there, in full delight
I lay my useful useless time to waste.

Annoyinglyenough, I can’t seem to style it to my hearts content. I’ll have to see if there were any hack in my css file I hadn’t noticed.
Okay, so we’ve all had it once that we scanned something in and wanted to make it transparent. LIke, removing the white from a lineart on white paper. For this you can set the layer on multiply or even use masking techniques.
In my case, I’m doing a water-coloured webcomic, and I wanted to remove the white, without damaging the colours. So that I could overlap the picture onto another and the colours would blend.
I was before messing around with masking techniques, but I had problem with keeping the colours right. I’ve now found a technique that’s a bit more easy, and which allows me to draw this:
What you need:
*A picture(scanned in or otherwise)
*A computer with the gimp installed.
My version of the gimp is Dutch, so I’ll be putting the english name of the steps in bold.

City Park Breda
I was in the city park of Breda today, and I decided to have an attempt at painting the park.
It came out nice, though blurry(couldn’t work too long as the shadows kept shifting) and I sort of have the feeling that the colours aren’t quite right, but that’s to be expected.
I’ve been practicing brush inking, and I have the feeling I’m getting somewhere. I got some nice winsor and newton brushes and I’m still happily experimenting with them. I also made a test page for Streets of Ganjet, to see if brush inked characters on a penned background, coloured in, would look good.
Unforetunatly the page ended up a bit skewed and I think I’ll have to become good friends with my mirror once I start doing future pages.
A kingdom hearts fancomic I put into a javascript based comic reader I made.
I disliked how normal comic formats are one page a load, so this one loads up all tiny pages and then you can flick through them. The comic itself is Axel/Saïx slash, hence why I also made a seperate tag to prevent it from showing up on my rss-feed.(I don’t want anyone who isn’t looking for it to see this)
