Hey Esoteric looks like we had the same idea about the decorating her cheek.

but I just used blue snowflakes on mine.
Also I to started coloring the same places for her shoulders, but I decided it didnâ€™t look right.
So I just thought I was seeing things and maybe she just didnâ€™t have a shoulder.

Now you have made me more confused them ever.

I like your colors BTW.

Uhm, here's my entry. I thought I wouldn't have enough time to finish it as I started it yesterday, but guess I had plenty of time, lol.

...I found the neck. But I found no shoulder. Chibiphonebooth, could you draw a big red circle around the shoulder? rofl. That might help the confuddled.

Sry, but I had to resize it. It was over 100 KBs too big!

Postby **chibiphonebooth** » Thu Dec 29, 2005 8:54 am

LOL

yeah, i thnk ill do that.
XD

EDIT: alright. here it is. the red line is the line from her neck to her sholder. im so sorry that its so confusing, i looked back at it and.. i saw what you guys mean. AGAIN. i am SOOOO SORRY for confusing line art. x_x

next time (if there will be a next time) ill make a much better one. x_x

Ohhh, I see it now! It seems so obvious now. Lol. I thought it was great despite the minor confusion. Lol.

Hey, if there had been no confusision, how could I have made the shoulder into a fish. I like it just the way it is.

Postby **mechana2015** » Thu Dec 29, 2005 1:21 pm

FINALLLY finished... theres some wierd background jokes there too so we'll see how many people catch.

Postby **White Raven** » Thu Dec 29, 2005 2:20 pm

Ohhh nice work KBMaster and mechana2015 O.O

It's odd, I seem to remember reading that the deadline was the 30th but now I can't find it anywhere. I'm probably pulling the typical freak-out-about-a-lost-item-that-happens-to-be-right-in-front-of-my-face but it has me really worried that I'll miss the cut-off like I did during the November contest.

EEP! I can't have that happening! I've been plugging away at my version for 2+ days now, but it just needs a wee bit more tweaking. I think I'm fixating.. :forehead:

Postby **Kuro-Mizu** » Fri Dec 30, 2005 10:07 am

Nice job Kb master and mechana! And Lizard queen it is the 30th i think its on page 5 or 6

Postby **the_lizardqueen** » Sat Dec 31, 2005 1:26 am

Yay! I finally more-or-less finished my entry! I went for a bit of a gypsy/roma elvish theme in mine, with a sunset that I prolly spent way too much time on. Photoshop brushes are unbelievably fun :grin:

I also keep asking myself why I am developing the habit of populating my backgrounds. It typically leads to the hurting of my noggin

Postby **White Raven** » Sat Dec 31, 2005 4:04 am

Unbelievable, LQ I just keep looking and looking.
My jaw is at my knees, your skill is breathtaking.
The color is just so poignant. I think you must be my favorite undiscovered artist.

Postby **Kuro-Mizu** » Sun Jan 01, 2006 8:02 pm

Aw, thankee, that's pretty much one of the biggest compliments that I've ever recieved :red:

You're too kind though, your entry was so excellent. I'm amazed by how confident and skilled your getting with digital coloring. Yup, the White Queen entry definitely set the bar very high. You guys all turned out such creative and pretty entries that it got me all inspired (eep, with a wee bit of competitiveness thrown in, I'll admit it :sweat:

)

NOOOO! Eso cannot resign!! *cling*

Erm, and about that shoulder, I have a secret-
[spoiler]...I kinda looked at Chibiphonebooth's diagram[/spoiler]
I pretty much got the shoulder right on my own, but I completely lost the neck in a mass of purple hair *sheepish*

Shao Feng-Li wrote:How do you do that with PS?

Um...me? Honestly I'm winging it, this is my first real shot at using PS. I've always been a Corel user. I just kinda put the lineart on it's own layer and left everything else on another layer. I basically digitally 'painted', tried to use pure colors for shading and refrained from dodging and burning until the very, very end, because I'm a self confessed dodging and burning addict. I think it's because my fave artist is Rembrandt and I tend to ape his dark settings with bold contrasting lighting. And I went nuts with a scrubby brush in the sky, and used the smudging and blurring tools alot in the hair.

Yeah, I like dodging anf burning. XD

So who won olroc?

Postby **Scribs** » Wed Jan 04, 2006 12:40 pm

Then i am in a state of anticipation until his return!

Postby **Scribs** » Sat Jan 07, 2006 12:06 pm

Well, I have an announcement to make. Olorc will be unable to judge the coloring contest this month and has asked me to take over for him in his absence. With the help of my assistant I have carefully looked at all the entrys and the winner is.....

Lizard Queen

It was a very very close contest, and very hard to judge. All the entrys were excellent, and there was very nearly a three way tie between I Love Art, Mechana2015, and Lizard Queen. It is great seeing so many great entrys, and I hope you all come back for the January contest.

Maybe Orenji does... I have always wanted to color her lineart!
