Mina Speaks .com: Please help me save my cat.

Hey everyone. I’ve been super busy working, and now I’ve hit another snag.

This is my kitty. He needs some major surgery to correct urinary issues he has been having. If he doesn’t get them fixed, he will either be put down, or will die from associated complications.

For several reasons, I…

Can Tumblr help save Tyr? : < Lookit that handsome face … Even a reblog helps. Mina is a friend of mine, and I’d like to see her keep her sweet boy if she can.

I think drawing on one layer is actually my thing now. o__o

#personal #I get uncomfortable with so many layers like 3 plus is too much for me#um ok

Wow. And here I am, unable to just sketch without at least 5 layers. My simple stuff has at least 10. That Thor vs Loki thing? That topped out at over 200 layers.

This point interests me. So I’ll go into detail for fun.

When sketching, the number of layers I use in a sketch is usually equal to the number of people in the picture, assuming that it is a “regular drawing skill level day” and not a “shitty omfg fingers how I do” day.

I have a tendency to move, shift, and slide people around once I get the general idea down, because I’m a fool who does not use thumbnail sketches often. So if I have drawn the characters each on their own layer, it makes it infinitely easier to adjust things if I’ve…say mistakenly made someone too short.

If it’s an “amazing I am the rock of art” day, though or if I’m just dicking around, I use one layer and fuck the consequences.

I ink all on one layer except in one case when my linearts were different colours. Painting is a different story, though…I’ve got two techniques. In my normal method, if it’s one character, I divide up the layers according to what touches what. Usually that means skin is on it’s own on the bottom. I often put eyes on a layer with jewelry, or hair accs. Hair goes with pants, and then shirt with shoes. Nothing touches, so it’s easy to select only that chunk to change levels and hue. And instead of like….five layers, you use maybe three at most. And that’s me being cautious.

My other method involves two layers. One is greyscale and I paint values onto it ranging from black to white. The top layer is set to overlay or colour, and I throw block chunks of colour on it and then blend to get like…purple shadows and gold highlights. It’s what I use for pieces I want to get done very quickly and not fuss too much about. It helps because doing the colour stage doesn’t fuck with the luminosity at all. So if you make a mistake with colour, it’s easier to fix IMO.

I also like to use Photoshop’s folder option to nest my layers for organizational purposes. If I do have a large piece that has more than ten layers, I group them by character so I can turn whole characters on and off at a time by clicking their folder.

There’s actually a lot of Pshop tricks I use that I take for granted now that I think about it….

amarearts: lanuria: amarearts: I’m really trying to write my reports… but meh! Here! have some of my old sketches! These are from last year, but I’m going to do something similar with this year’s sketches too :D All of these are just stunning!! Thank you TAT &lt;3 That’s so sweet of you &lt;3. Ok, this may come out of left field. But here it is. I just saw your name pop up on my dashboard when you followed me, and I came over out of curiosity, and then my mind sort of got blown when I saw your work. I couldn&#8217;t find your &#8220;ask&#8221; button to tell you this, and frankly I just want to reblog everything here, but I&#8217;ll start with this, as a note from me to you. I. Adore. These. I love the energy and dynamic lines you put into your sketches. The expression, variety of facial shapes, the&#8230;the CHEEKBONES! I stared at this selection alone for the better part of 20 minutes and I found myself engaged with literally every single character I saw. Every one of them. Unique, interesting &#8230; and wonderful! I just love the way you form your eye shapes, and facial hair, the way they&#8217;re all sort of doing -something- some sort of action. They have vitality even at rest or in thought. I sincerely can&#8217;t wait to see your newer sketch photoset when you create it. And if I didn&#8217;t desperately need sleep right now I&#8217;d be rolling myself down the entire length of your page, basking in it.

Excellent NSFW donation reward, yay!

Hey any Trance readers who happen to follow this blog. Or…well anyone really. I finally managed to make a proper incentive for any donations we might receive, and got the link working.


As it stands, we don’t have nearly enough money to print the books, and it’s not looking good for swag either. I’m still doing commissions for funds, but all of that goes to my rent.

So, I made a nice, dirty, tasty incentive in case anyone has even a dollar or two for a sad, self-employed little artist. <3

It looks like this ^


EDIT: for the gentleman having issues with Paypal from America, I’m…afraid I’m not 100% sure what the problem is there. We’ve had half a dozen people transfer funds from American dollars to Canadian, and I take commission payments in the same account. That’s very strange… but we really appreciate the thought! Might want to contact their tech guys and see what’s up.

Filler update for today, guys. This is some development art I did, a redesign for my twins. Can&#8217;t say too much without spoiling their appearance in the comic. Needless to say, I really enjoyed them. Especially because they&#8217;re NOT a crazy colour like many Kurai. They&#8217;re just&#8230;pretty regular looking brown gentlemen. Anyhuz, full image at top, and details on the bottom, because I adore their faces. &lt;3 Come read, or comment at http://trancecomic.com. Or reblog if you like it, the comic can use all the help it can get. Signal boosts are most appreciated.

Hi Okori. :3 How are your commissions going? Well, I hope. If you get to the point where you've finished your current round, I'm sort of interested in lining up another one. Probably a full-color graphic one, if possible. 939 I'm about to come into some money and my perverted brain can think of no better way to spend it. :B <3

I’m sorry x_X;;; I’m trying to hard to get through them. I’m almost to yours. So much has come up recently, between family and rarely seen friends visiting, awful illness, and a book deadline for a show. I’m freaking out.

I’ll try and get through them as fast as I can. I suck, and I’m sorry. : < It’s not looking good for jobs either, I haven’t gotten a single call back o_o; So I’ll definitely need to do more work.
