Edit: Upped the brightness cuz I think my monitor is a bit washed out...might be too dark for some people. Let me know!

Original sketch, done by the awesome :iconsilberry:! I did not draw this; this was a collab between her and I :D Any critiques for the drawing, anatomy and whatnot should be directed to her...you guys can go ahead and thrash and tear away at my coloring/background skills, cuz that's all me...I need help with backgrounds ><

I accidently saved over my .psd with separate layers, and as such, lost a halfway decent copy of her colors without the shadow effects. ARGH

I decided to do a night scene to go back to an old work of mine and re-try it.

Old work, different character:


Week 2 of my one-deviation-a-week resolution complete!

Shikoai is my character,
Paint Tool SAI lines, Photoshop CS3 colors
12-ish hours.



Anyone have any tutorials for mountains, grass and trees? D:

Oh beautiful Shi...What trouble are you up to...? Why you in a meadow at night...? (and what is this "One deviation a week" thingy"?)

I love your shrubbery and Mountains...Gott dayum! That shrubbery...looks like you've spent hours on those lil leaves...! Oh yeah and the FAWG!! It's just so nice to see old characters still getting some love ;3;

I love your colouring. It's become so much more detailed <3 One thing I learned about colour was anti-highlights, and I'd love to see them on Shi (or you're next piece. Ya know, whatevs) /critique.

What is this...anti-highlights you speak of...*head explodes*
Do teach me O great one! :bow:

Thanks! I'm not sure what she's up to either...probably snooping around for some innocent campers to scare and steal their wallets, I'm assuming.

The shrubs were actually pretty easy...I painted one and copy/pasted them all over the place. The lighting was the worst part though...it's why some of them look kinda mussy D:


And that one-a-week thing was my resolution that was a blunder cuz I got so busy with school I couldn't keep up ;_; i'm a fail
