Grounded (revised)

Heheh... thank you. I have never tried to do any kind of realistic type character in my painter beofre so I thought I'd give it a try. I think maybe next time I may just need to make the tones a bit darker to make them more real looking. I wanted her to look pretty beat up which is why I tore her wings. It adds to the feel of her being stuck here against her will. I am so glad you like it though. Thank you so much. *hugs*

Thanks sweetheart. I am using Corel Painter 9. I am absolutely in love with the program. Perhaps I will marry it. It is so easy to understand though Mal. You have no idea. I always hated to try any digital coloring because I could never understand how to use the different features of the paint shop until I tried this Corel one. And I love it. And it only cost me about a hundred dollars. Seriously. And trust me, if you could have seen her lips before this, you would definitely see that they have improved. I was talking to my friend Schmerz and he told me I should make them smaller so I did and this is how they ended up. Before her lips were big enough to swallow your head! But I am so glad you like her my darling. I am going to do another version of her in reds and golds. You know I can't get by without having some red. All my love to you. Mwah!

Well you did a great job and I sware I am gonna have to learn to do that sometime...it makes the art look ten times better! I love it! Great job once again...and I will talk to you soon! I love you!! MWAH!

Aww, thank you honey. And yeah, this is a wonderful program to use. If you like, I can give you the URL for a free 30 day trial of the program I am using. I also have a tutorial put together on how to get started with it that I made for another member here. So if you'd like, I'd be more than happy to give you those. Just let me know sweetie. I love you too. But you already know that. Mwah!

Yup no problem! I love your art its beautiful! I will try it sometime but maybe on spring break because I am so tied down right now I am trying to get through school shit right now but when I can just sit down then I will have you show me. Thanks!

Oh my God Chas, you have no idea how much time she took. >_< I don't even want to calculate the hours. But I did work my ass off on her and I am soooo proud of myself on how she came out. And one of these days I will go find that book or any book really that will help me with doing layers. >_< And I am glad you like her tattoos. I wanted them to look a bit like henna tattoos. I am glad you like her. Sorry there isn;t much boob in the pic though.

hey it's an awesome picture....why does everbody think i have a thing for boobs....well anyway great job......

Gee... I wonder Chas. Maybe because YOU DO! But thank you so much for your kind compliment. I really appreciate it. *hugs*

Aww, thank you sweetheart. And believe me, I am actually working on fixing the lips right now. I have to scoot them over a bit because they aren't centered with the rest of her face. I don't know what I did thee. The funny thing is that in the larger version, it looks good actually. And looks normal. But when you view the smaller version, you can definitely tell the mouth is a bit off. So, I am going to be working on that today. All my love. *hugs*

well I just checked out the revised version and the mouth looks perfect now! And it's still completely awesome! I always love your piccy's

Thank you. I think I am about sick of that mouth at this point. But I think I managed to get her looking right now. Thank goodness. All my love. *hugs*

That is the first time I think that anyone has ever really understood the feelings behind my work. Of course alot of my "darker" pics are completely metaphoric of either my life or the life of someone I know and love. This one (with the chains and all) is pretty much symbolic of my dark feelings and being trapped in them. Like heartache and sickness and all of that. So you were completely right on with the emotions from this one. Thank you so much for completely understanding this drawing. You have no idea how honored I am. All my love. *hugs*

Thank you Karen. I am so glad that you like her. And I still absolutely LOVE your Labyrinth avatar. I really want to learn how to make my own avatars. Mine would probably end up really funny though. Knowing me and my personality. Thanks again hun. All my love to you. *hugs*

Why thank you. I was hoping the wings would have turned out how I wanted them to. And I am planning on doing another version of this one but only in reds and golds. I hope that will turn out just as nice. Thanks again for the awesome comments. *hugs*

Oh my gosh... I honestly never thought anyone would ever say that about me. I have been trying to convince everyone that I absolutely suck at digital art. I never could understand it until I got this Corel Painter. And now I am addicted. I have never colored any of my fairies before. Not even with markers or colored pencils. So I am glad it worked out on here. Thank you so much for your kind words sweetheart. You have truly made me feel awesome. All my love. *hugs*

No problem. But it's true...you are good at this.

ANDY!!!! *glomps* Welcome back luv. I have missed you. I have been going crazy in this place without you to help me get there. XD Anywhoo, I am glad you like my fairy old chap. I am just now starting to get into the whole digital coloring thing which is why some of these don't look all that great. But just you wait until I develop my skills in Paint Shop even more. I am going to make some awesome shite. Much love to you sweetheart. *hugs*

Aww love, you never get on my nerves. How could you? I simply adore you. I am really happy that you like this picture. I worked really hard on it. I am going to do a new version of it soon but I am going to make her in golds and reds. Thank you so much for always giving me such wonderful praise. You always leave me feeling up so high. All my love to you. Mwah!

Sadly,no... I am afraid I shrink them before I color them because my computer is so weighed down right now. I seriously need to go through my files and free up some space on it. That way I can keep larger files and not slag my computer out so much. And I am never any good when it comes to clothes. But still I try. That will come in time. As long as I keep practicing. My biggest problem is getting the folds and pleats to fall where they are supposed to. So my love, if you ever have any pointers on how to do that, please help me. Please please please? Well, I am going to go and respond to your PM now. I rub you so much.mwah!

Why thank you dear. ^_^ I am really pleased to hear that you like her. And I am actually going to do another version of her but in reds and golds. I think that will look pretty. All my love. *hugs*

You're wery welcome my dear. I'd love to see the other version when it's done. Now I want a review from you ok?
