_{I've had this partially done for ages now.. and still need to finish it.. but thought I would post it up now anyhow.. A bit less than traditional.. :)}

2008-10-22 [Jeccabee]: ok...now i have all of the base colors in. Now I just have to work on shading and highlights.

2008-10-22 [Kaimee]: hehe I may actually fix mine sometime if I get my hands free at any point... I'll tell you, working on a track pad is decidedly different from a tablet O.o; I kept wanting to do detail and then having my fingers chewed by kitten. LOL

2008-10-23 [arthemis_]: I'm in! :D Love the picture!!

2008-10-24 [Yncke]: I brought my 8-year old computer back to life. It's slower, but at least it's still working. :)

2008-10-24 [Daisy le Fleur]: Ooo subtle hues, nice shading Yncke!

2008-10-24 [Yncke]: Thank you. :)

2008-10-24 [Jeccabee]: awesome Yncke!

2008-10-24 [Yncke]: :) I hope I've caught your intentions with the drawing. I felt that she looks very gloomy.

2008-10-24 [deeterhi]: I feel like color is like music in a film: it can help define the mood, emphasize and de-emphasize what you feel is most important to get across :)

2008-10-24 [Yncke]: I agree. And in addition to that, colours should help 'read' the image, just like music helps to explain the setting of the scene. :) (Well, at least in my opinion. *grin* )

2008-10-24 [Jeccabee]: well I have finished her hair and skin...and the lil animal thing. It's slow going, but it's getting done.

2008-10-25 [Artsieladie]: I was browsing through the Advertising in Elftown Forum and saw your contest. I've added it to MC (under number of entries' deadline -20-) and onto the Mainstreet Calendar. It is being featured until November 30, 2008. Hope this is ok, but I think advertising is always good for a contest. If you need it to be featured for awhile longer, just give me a holler. :)

Lovely drawing and lovely colourings! To pick the winner for this will be difficult. *feels sorry for the judge(s)* ;P

2008-10-25 [deeterhi]: Thanks [Artsieladie]

:)

2008-10-25 [Artsieladie]: You're very welcome! Now hopefully, you'll be flooded with lots more lovely entries! :)

2008-10-27 [arthemis_]: I'm busy I'm busy *lol*

2008-11-01 [Kaimee]: Oh my god. I finally finished uni for the year so I finally get time to actually fix the details on my entry :Ow

2008-11-01 [deeterhi]: take a deep breath...and then dance all night.

I can't wait to see what the finished version will look like :)

2008-11-16 [Lite]: I might give this one a shot :)

2008-11-16 [Lite]: Done <img:img/mood/61513_1224162389.gif>

2008-11-17 [deeterhi]: very nice :) looks like canvas to me :)

2008-11-17 [Lite]: Thank you! I tried for a ink + watercolor look :D
I hope you don't mind the slight rendering in the original lineart.
