Hey everyone! *waves*

One of my good friends on DA, *soul-alive is currently going through a financial emergency and she is taking commissions to make ends meet. If anyone out there is looking for affordable commisions from a diverse artist, I'd highly recommend checking her out. She has to pay rent by October 3rd and every little bit helps~

Her gallery can be found here >>> :iconsoul-alive: <<<

...in other news, I'm kinda back to school for a two year program.

It was a bit of a snap decision that I made in August, but so far I am not regretting it and I'm quite enjoying the library program that I've gone into. I haven't given up on art, but I did realize that I might need a bit more training if I want to get a decent day job that'll support me while I'm attempting to moonlight as an illustrator. Unfortunately it means that my updates may be few and far between, but I'll still be maintaining a sketchbook and I will definitely be continuing with the Tamers 100 (so. close. TO FIFTY.)

Also, it's a brief update, but my Dad's doing really well! He's back at work, his mobility is okay and he seems to be getting around fine (plus he's going to physiotherapy)

Considering the fact that's it only been just over a month since the accident, it's pretty incredible that things are mostly back to normal. Well...other than the fact that he's a way jumpier driver/passenger now and we still haven't figured out what to do with the slightly mangled remains of the bike. I think they're still lurking somewhere in the back of the garage >.>

Hello again. I forgot to say, I'm really impressed by how you do such a wide array of shading with the power colour (I think that's what it's called?). How /do/ you colour like that? Or what program do you use?

Thanks! I'm usually sort of winging it when it comes to colour. While I still do traditional sketches, I almost always scan and colour them digitally in Photoshop.

I usually experiment with semi-transparent layers (set to overlay and soft light most commonly) on top of the sketch in order to paint in colours and lighting. I also use a lot of textures and my method is pretty similar to this tutorial.

Hmm, I might end up attempting to put together a tutorial some day :3

I have a request ovibos, want to know what it is?
:iconovibos:
Sorry. I'm not really open for commissions right now, let alone requests, as I am back at school and really busy.

:iconhunterxcolleen:
okay, i'll tell you when you come back from school.
:iconovibos:
Honestly, I'm not sure about doing free art for strangers. But I might be willing to discuss paid commissions at the end of the school year.
