Taking Flight


ZephyrBlue

So I had a lot of technical difficulties with this picture. After spending a great deal of time doing the lineart and flat-colours for this picture, Photoshop decided to be a massive butt and freeze completely on me because I wanted to use a pressure sensitive brush and whatnot. The entire program basically crashed because of its own crappy coding's inability to run its own flipping script.

In any case, I was forced to take a screen shot of what I was working on and go from there. It was a pain in the ass and a half to attempt to do all of this on one jumping layer, but that aside I feel as though it turned out rather nicely [though clearly if Photoshop wasn't a massive piece of crap, it would've looked nicer].

SO YEAH. Here's a picture of Zephyr, skydancing. I may or may not redo this picture in an attempt to improve it later on, but the chances of me actually following through with that are slim to none.

Enjoy.

Yeah, this is why I save literally every 10-15 minutes in Photoshop after just coloring a single layer, etc. You never know.

It is very nice picture too; I am curious about him.

Oh my, I know exactly what you mean. Photoshop crashed on me while I was painting snowflakes the other night and I literally screamed "nooo!" Thankfully I saved not too far back.

Saving often is always a good habit to get into. I usually find myself hitting the save hot key every time I make something and think to myself "that looks good."

Quite a beautiful work. The circular motions accentuated by the tail and clouds is precisely that which I have no clue how to attempt. Perhaps I might have recommended using the scarf as well to this end, as it would have created quite a nice contrast. Nevertheless, super.

Actually, the scarf is moving with the spiral. The end visible beneath the line of cloud is from the right side, not the left as it may appear.
