Very occasionally.

Last time I did a digital art piece was 3 years ago.

Well, now it was 3 (half) hours ago. But, you know. Details.

Here, see?



I might have a mild obsession with merfolk that look a bit more fishy than Ariel.

[Gallagher]

do you feel bad about being so fokkin good at those translucent fin fades

[littl3chocobo]

i bet he doesn't >x>

[Gallagher]

i bet not, wot the heck dude

[Tohopekaliga]

not in the least. :P

[littl3chocobo]

teach me how to not solid, sempai

[Tohopekaliga]

Next time I stream my artifying, I'll post about it on Trisphee, you can see then. :P

But layers, and partially opaque erasers are the key.

[littl3chocobo]

i do not have that stuff XD do everything by hand, hahahaha. teach me to do it with 15 year old software sempai(also i really want to share my newest mer with you to see what you think, more aerial than yours but less cartoony)

[Tohopekaliga]

Photoshop is at least 15 years old, it has layers. :P

I use Painttool SAI for most of my digital art shenanigans (although I did the water background in photoshop, because it's easier there). I believe it costs about $60, in JPY.

;3; yeah, no i like the software that came free with my computer from when i was a teen(and the software that bundled with my tablet though that company is well out of business now)

[Tohopekaliga]

Paint.NET and GIMP are both free and pretty good for various things. I've never tried doing actual digital painting in either of them, but they should work. And have layers! :O

[Gallagher]

i do my work in paint.net whenever i art things

[littl3chocobo]

ok, so let me reiterate, i am that old guy who still drives his first car even though it was recalled 30 years ago and can only signal left

[Tohopekaliga]

Okay, then I have the solution for you:

Stippling.

Lots and lots of stippling.

Good luck!
