Vocabulary Lesson

[tealin]

There was this about vampires: they could never look scruffy. Instead, they were ... what was the word ... déshabillé. It meant untidy, but with bags and bags of style.

Monstrous Regiment, pg. 145

I like this one better.
The danger of colouring something while having a conversation is that one tends to ... overdo it. (Line version)

Gmail is great. It has many exemplary features. Some may mention the ability to search your letters for keywords, others may point out the way correspondences are grouped into "conversations," and many will rejoice in the seemingly limitless storage space.

My favourite thing, however, is that when the "Spam" folder (which has an excellent automatic filter) is empty, it says "Hooray, no spam here!"

He has the coolest facial expression and outfit. Way vode.

I am so completely out of the loop right now, but I still think it looks gorgeous.

Woman, you truly are an illustrative revolutionary! HAIL TO THEE! What program to you use to color sketches such as this one, and do you use a tablet?

And I know you aren't partial to requests, but it would be really interesting (since I see that you enjoy drawing people in early 19th century attire) if you sketched a portrait of your version of a young Corsican military school student of that epoch, by the name of Napoleone Buonaparte (yes, I know it looks misspelled, but that was his name in Italian. He changed it once he became an officer in the French Military.)

I use the glorious Photoshop (with some new brushes I just discovered yesterday) and a handy-dandy tablet to colour... I don't know how anyone colours without a tablet, honestly.

As for the request – I'll take requests, I just can't guarantee I'll do anything with them – I think Napoleon's got enough sketches of him already; I wouldn't want to go inflating his posthumous ego any further. And I'm rather more partial to fictional characters.

Besides, what would Lucky Jack think? ; )

Teehee.

Heeheehe... heehee.

[snigger]



What I do with a request is also up to me.

Maladict(a)'s gender in your art is so deliciously ambigious! And the crossbow makes happy. xD; Psh, you are totally my favorite artist for this sort of thing, because it's always perfect.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Since first reading the book, I've thought that, if it were made into a movie, Maladict would be (for the first 7/8 of it, anyway) the object of much lust on the part of bishonen-crazed teenage girls.

Mwahahahahaa. That'd show them.

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

. . . I never thought of that.

Oh, that would be perfect.


See, now it needs to happen just like that.

Movies

[thorn-of-blood.livejournal.com]

Of course, any movie made would not do the book justice, i would quite like to see a Discworld film though, just so I could dissect it, and complain about the tiny things that were wrong with it.

Or the huge things, I am a bit skeptical about films from books at the moment, i hated the Third Harry Potter film.

What are these new brushes your came across? The one you used for the background is gorgeous. Mwah, that crossbow is amazing. Oooh, ooh, draw Detritus with his hand-held-Armageddon!

Geez, I have two projects due tomorrow! And it's 8:26 PM! AAHH!

OK, in Photoshop 7, there's this ... brushes menu sort of thing. You pick your brush in the usual way and then in the right upper corner there's another menu you can pull down that gives you all sorts of options, and one of them lets you combine brushes, so ... I did. Don't remember which ones, now, but it sure worked!
