Autumn Fay - Tinted and fixed

Thank you so very much! What compliments! I think I'll have to leave this one alone now, lest I overwork it or (heaven forbid!) get tired of it. It's been a long time in the making, and I'm glad to be finaly finished with ALL aspects. *grin*

Really? Wow! I'm honoured that you think so, D.

But of course dahling.

^_^

Yes, I hated those splotches too. They really got on my nerves, to be quite honest. I hate it when scanners pick up things like that that are barely noticeable in the original. I'm so glad you can see the difference, too. I thought it was fairly substantial, myself... But then again, I have the original in front of me (at least for a little while...)

I should be able to make some satisfactory prints soon. I've got some nice-quality paper that takes to our printer very well. That means your birthday pressie should be on its way after Christmas (just as everything else should be... hehehe)

Mucho loves!
Mr. Butmer

Well you have every reason to be proud of this one sweetheart. This one is one of your best. This and your fortune teller and the one you did for my birthday present are my absolute favorites. I can't wait to get the print. I am so excited for it. I can't wait to hang it on my wall for everyone to see. Yay! *giggles* I miss you my darling. You make sure to take a break once in a while from all of your projects so you don't go crazy, okay? All my love right back to you. Mwah mwah mwah!

In the making, just as we were talking about.

OoooOh! I'm being worshipped! That's good to know once in a while. Especially welcome during this season. I'm very excited for Christmas and extremely stressed all at the same time.

Thank you so much for your bows and comments and all the good warm fuzzy things!

Anytime dearest

I agree about the eyes. unfortunately, the pencil crayon I used to colour them was darker than I expected - Can't really fix that without losing a lot of shading on the face. I mean, I could fix it on the computer, but there isn't really much point to that - I want the scan to be true to the original rather than doctored up. I'm weird that way, I guess. As for more yellow... Well, It might be nice, but I really and truly don't want to put any more colour onto it. I'm getting to the point where if I touch it much more I might rip it up, and then I might make EvilBunnySlippers sad. THough yes - more yellow WOULD give it more of an old-photo look, I agree. It's just... gah. It's tough to tint properly with cheap pencilcrayons, I guess. I'm a wimp...

Thanks so much for your review. I promise I'll keep all those tipe in mind next time I do a tinted drawing like this. It's all a learning experience, after all.

Sweet dreams, luv!

I understand you want to keep it looking as close as possible to the original. I mean it's no big deal to fix it on the puter. I t would be weird if I fixed up an oil painting in Photoshop. lol. So here's my tip for you in such cases. I usually take a knife and cut my rubber so it will have a sharp end. That way you won't get anything unnecessary erased. You could try that next time. Yes, blarg, those cheap crayons, I had the exact same thing with my Shippo pic. Anyhow I love your work, just keep it up. And you're very welcome.

Cut my rubber? My beautiful eraser baby? Ok. Tip taken and filed for future reference.

I went against my own wishes anyhow and re-did the whole thing for my home-made calendar for my dad's Christmas pressie. Her eyes look WAY better in the one. I think I'll have to send a print with EBS's original...

Glad I could help.

Thank you kindly!

Thanks so much! This was one of those spur-of-the-moment ideas. I haven't seen many branch-winged fay, so I thought it might be fun to try.

Thanks again for the comment! Your own works are quite spectacular.

Thank you very much for your kind comment! I tend to strive for the proper amount of detail in my commissions. This piece was made for the winner of a contest I threw.

Only one person on this site has seen the original (EvilBunnySlippers - it was made for her). The fixed-up scan is, in my opinion, a step or two different from the original piece. The work didn't scan well, though. Besides, I actually really like this version - perhaps even more than the original.

Thanks so much for the compliments!

I think, personally, that PD is chalk-full of talented people - most of which have yet to find their niche in art. It takes so long to get to a point where one is comfortable with what they do. I still have to vary my style from time to time just to keep from pulling out all my hair.

The commission I'm currently working on in giving me no end of troubles - but I think that's just because I've been drawn-out, so to speak.

Thanks again for the lovely compliments!

Hey no problem ^_^;;..you deserve those compliments!

And good luck on the commission! Be sure to post it when you are done..

The next stage will be going up today, methinks. I like to post the 'works in progress'.

Most of my work is non-yaoi, actually. I think I only have about three nude men, and I wouldn't even consider them yaoi.

Glad you like my stuff, though! Thanks for the kind words.

you are most welcome!

Thanks very much! I'm glad you like her.

Thanks very much for the lovely comment!

Thank you! Though yours tops it all.

Thank you! Sometimes my pencil just takes off with those little hidden details all over the place.

Thanks very much! Glad you liked it.

It deserves it!
