Dance In The Dark Chpt7Anzelm sat on his bed and growled. He hadn't been able to return to sleep after she called. His mind called her every insult to a female that he could think of, in every language he knew. Such an ingrate, she really was. He'd spared her life, made her immortal. He could have just as easily killed her after he'd managed to lure her parents to their deaths. He sighed, at least she was useful in luring in more prospects to convert, and she was a fantastic talent on the stage as well as in other things. He grinned at that thought. He never stopped trying to get her pregnant either, he was sure their children would be magnificent, no matter that

All art belongs to me!

That's so awesome!

Wonderful colors and such.

The improvement looks great. I love both versions.

I admittedly am not an art critic, but I am drawn to the vivid colors in the second piece. I think I like the "brush stroke" work in the first piece, but it lacks the "happy" vibe which really explodes from the second one. I'm not sure which I prefer from a technical standpoint, but I like the mood in the second one. It must have felt good to re-imagine this!!

I can't enter the contest anymore, but this has inspired me to revamp an old piece of mine!

It was actually quite fun . . . just to see what I could do with it now that I know how to use a computer better

Exactly!! The piece I'm thinking of was a great idea, but was also one of my first semi-decent Poser renders... I think I'd been using the program for just a few weeks! Now that I'm better, I'd love to revisit it, the way you have here. Always room for improvement and change, right?

*nod* It's really awesome to see the changes.

I honestly think you've gone backwards in your progress.

*dragondoodle Sep 18, 2012

In what way? I'm actually very intrigued to hear your opinion since so few strangers have even come along to my humble little DA hideaway.

~cyhennessey Sep 18, 2012 Student Interface Designer

Well, the coloring in the first one seems (and this may just be because it looks like it was drawn with traditional media) better colored and shaded. It seems to have more attention payed to light source and the colors are blended pretty decently. In the second, it just looks like the generic "my first year with a tablet" type of coloring where every color/shade/etc. is completely soft. Basically, it went from somewhat unique and interesting to look at to "just another one of those" drawings. And I do means all of this in the least offensive way possible; it's not my goal to upset you or discourage you in anyway, so I apologize if I seem a little harsh.
