Eww. Does anyone know how to resize an image properly? Every time I resize my drawings the lines become jagged and zig-zaggy. I can't seem to make them look smooth the way they are before I resize the drawing.
This is a drawing for the same person who's commissioned me for Furuba (Fruits Basket) fan art in the past. I was paid about $21. Overall, I'm pleased with the way it turned out... but unfortunatly, it lost a lot of quality when it was resized. The lines, mostly. The coloring still looks nice though. I really love the background--and I hope everyone else does. I literally spent HOURS upon HOURS on this piece. 1 hour on the sketch, 4 hours on the inking, and 8+ hours on the coloring. I drew each and every leaf and brick as carefully as I could. And I only took a few breaks to sleep. And was it worth it? Well... I think it turned out well, but earning only $21 after 13 hours of work is kind of discouraging. I adore drawing and I'm very lucky to be able to get paid for making art, but still, I'm looking forward to getting better so I can charge more money. (Then again, I feel a little guilty when I raise my prices.)
Anyway, this fan art features two characters from Fruits Basket, Akito and Shigure. I never watched the series so I know nothing about the characters or anything, but they do seem like a good couple. I never draw people kissing and that's probably obvious since I didn't do the best job on their kiss. But I did my best!
By the way, I'm using a new paint program now. Paint Shop Pro X--and it's amazing! So much easier to use. Only problem is I don't know how to get the patch to work.

This kiss doesn't look so bad :3
I didn't really notice until you pointed it out xD
I'm not sure how to resize the image properly, I usually end up keeping a bunch open, and just trying different resizes to see which one looks the best without ruining the quality of the image. This picture still looks fantastic though.
The detail in the flowers and the leaves are gorgeous <3
Now I feel bad for ordering with the sale price xD <3
I don't tihnk you should feel guilty about raising your prices, your work is gorgeous. Particularily when your webcomic comes out. High demand artist ;D
I just don't have a lot of money xD So I'm cheap :B Sorry <3
And don't feel bad! *laugh* I wouldn't offer the prices I do if I wasn't WILLING to do them for that price. Plus, a lot of people can't afford nice art. So I still want to offer some for cheaper. x3
(Almost) Character regardless, I'm a sucker for kisspics. ...Er. That came out sounding like a really bad pun. *sweatdrop*
My gosh... the detail is fucking amazing! Pardon my language, but... it IS! The flowers and the leaves~ <33 They are love, man~ LOVE! And gawd I envy your folds. Of all things, the bricks are what don't look quite right to me. Maybe it's just the---WHOA! *staaares* Oly man... You're crazy, yanno that?! *pokes flower pattern on the kimono/yukata-type-thingu, having just noticed it* Wow. Just... wow.
Oh yea, bricks. Uhm. Maybe it's just 'cause they're reduced size, but they're so smooth. It looks a little weird. Not a big deal, just something random that stood out.
~purrs~ This piccu makes me a happy lynxy, yusyus. <3
Wow, you sounded so out-of-character in this post. *imagines Miseri as sweet and calm and occassionally a teeny bit hyper*
Thank you so much! I'm glad you appreciate the little details I put in there, because I did spend a lot of time on it. I didn't really notice about the bricks, but now that you mention it, they do seem a bit unatural. Next time I draw them I'll try to make them more rough.
Haha, the flower/petal patterns on the kimono was fun to color in.
I sounded out of character? My my... someone hasn't seen the inner fangirl squeal~ X3 Actually... occasionally hyper is relatively accurate. ...That would be the hyper moment. Calm, most of the time yes =3 Usually calm means uh... blank-faced (distanced and spaced-out looking). Content/happy, but not exactly showing it or too lost in thought to show it o.o Sweet? Is uh... subjective opinion, I guess. If we ever met in person, you culd decide that for yourself~ ...Gawd... I rambled abut self x_x;; *sounds so conceited at the moment* Eww.
You're welcome~ We'd be crazy to think you didn't put alot into it. It shows~ <3 Some bricks are smooth like that, but I guess after sitting in the same hall against the brick wall at school for four years kinda rubs in the impression of roughness o.O;;
It's not an easy detail to notice, but it's really something special~ <3
A lynx is like... uh... it's a member of the cat family o.o The north american one stands about three feet high, and have a kind of golden-gray-ish fur with darker spots. They have short stubby-ish tails, fluffy tufts of fur on their cheeks, and er... black tufty-type-things on the ends of their ears. Uhm... What else does Seri know about the lynx...? ._.;; Their biggest competition in the wild are cougars/mountain lions and wolves. They feed on rabbits, fox, and other small animals like birds and mice o.o *did a little research a while ago* I figured I should know a little about them if I'm gonna make a semi-lynx girl for a self-rep =3 They're really pretty kitties. Try a google image search, maybe? ^^ Lynxies (<-not the proper plural) also have a smaller cousin with no ear or cheek tufts called the bobcat o.o Are you familiar with those?
^^- A doodle on the cover of ~Akienna (eww, Seri's adverising... I know her irl, making plans with her for a ddr weekend not this weekend, but next =3 Yaayu~) anyway, doodle turned into a lynx-boy holding a rabbit-girl with the quote "Why do I protect what my instinct would devour?" on it~ <33 and there's this ominous little fox-boy in the background that wants to make a meal of the bunny o.o It's amazing what doodles spawn at 6am for the sleep deprived~ XD We even named them, and I started writing the story a while back, but uh... *coughs* it got buried among the other few dozen ideas lurking in Seri's mind ._.;; The lynx-boy would just kill the fox-boy if it wouldn't traumatize the little bunny o.o;; but... since that can't work, the fox continues to pester them ~.~;; They even have names~ ^^- Yaayu~ Risque the lynxy, Merodii the bunny and Keibi the fox o.o Funfun random names~ ...stolen from another of Seri's unworkable plots 'cause she's lazy like that.
...Man o.o;;; Seri, get off the sugar and off the caffeine @_@;;; Look at the size of that ramble! And it's so off-opic of piccuness x_x;;
We want to know what love means to you!
