~ Digital Painting? ~

Well... didn't really do much today... read finish a book i've been wanting to read,
then spent most of it painting. Yup painting.

Wasn't messy and didn't require me to constantly input water and curses.
Yes curses when you suddenly made a mistake and can't remedy it.
Lucky i've gone digital. Yeah.
Been inspired by those fans whose works are just digital colouring of manga
translated scans. Here's one which i find rather cool. Click here to see it.

If you've wondering why i can't show it here instead... well i can't seem to find
any hosting site for images that'll just allow me to get the picture from there.
And tripod and geocities don't allow me to do that, so i'm just going around it by
creating links to them, hope it works.

Anyway i've tried my hand at coloring one manga section and it took me ...
7 hrs?!.. woo. Now that i've counted it.. seems like i wasted away quite alot of time.
haha. But well.. it's worth it i guess. Learnt some new photoshop techniques while
doing the 'painting'. Anyway here's the original pic. And here's the edited one.

Somehow still not on par with those professionals. But it's a start and i'm kinda proud
of it :). Anyway ... back to datapaths and wat nots... argh...
