Jaik's Sketches & Thoughts

[Jaik]

Thanks Cracked :D It's always worth it to push your limits. Especially repainting something you know you have already done, thats a killer...

Thanks Denikina :D

You are definitely right there Blewzen, I can see it so clearly now @_@

Thanks Lyraina, and congrats again xP. Yeah, the feathers were meant to be dyed blue for the sake of colour harmony and to be kind of striking, but I think I missed the beat there and pushed them too far on the wrong way. Thanks for the crits though :) I will be sure to apply them to my next piece.


Thanks LongJh :D Such a long and good crit :D <3 Some of those were definitely because of running out of time lol, but a lot of what your brought up was valid and I will work on them in the future! Thanks again :)

Sad days for my computer. It completely died. Not sure how, why or what died on it. I would turn in on and it would freeze after about 2min. I don't have the time, or money, to replace every part individually. This problem has been getting consistently worse over the last year, starting at a frequency of once a week and getting worse from there. I thought it was a software problem so I rebuilt the operating system and it still persisted, and then started replacing parts and it is still there. I will now part it out and sell it, since each of the individual parts seem to be working fine.

But, I am now ordering a new custom built laptop, which will take around 2 weeks to get here.

Anyway, so thats the reason I don't have much to post, all my digital work is on my computer, which doesn't turn on anymore so I can't post it. I will be able to get to everything again, but since I am in the middle of a house move, I have my docking station for HDD's packed somewhere and can't get to it -___-

So just some sketchbook shots which I don't usually bother posting since they are too much effort. I did a fair bit of How to Draw by Scott Robertson, but thats mostly straight lines and circles. Nothing worth posting.

I would also like the thank the judges for Crimson Arena for the crit. I will take everything under advisement and work for a better piece next time (Namely applying those studies better and choosing my studies more carefully)
