[Shineshan]

Thanks and no worries, just tell me what I should put in there.

[Shineshan]

Rin from Ao no Exorcist

[spoiler][/spoiler]

[Angel~]

I'm going to thinka bit about that...
Thanks for it already!

I would like something with L from death note and some others...
Ineed to think of the others though.....

[Tear]

Death Note is <3~!

[Shineshan]

Any other details? Like, what text I should put? Or layout or something

[Tear]

Possibly the addition of an entire banquet of sweets that L may only dream of? :D

[Shineshan]

Okay, I'll look for it.

[otaku_mel]

How did you learn to colour so well??
*is jealous*

Haha, I guess it's a talent.
I wish I could do something like this. Maybe you could colour some of my drawings? ^^
Anyways, keep up with the awesome work!

[Shineshan]

Thanks ^O^ My major is Multimedia Arts :D I learned that in school.

Yes, of course, I'll color them post it here!

[otaku_mel]

Oh, wow, no wonder you're so good :)
Now all I have to do is find a drawing for you to colour. Thanks so much!

[Shineshan]

No problem ^O^

I finished this one just now.

Juvia Loxar

[spoiler][/spoiler]

[Tear]

\o/   

Juvia turned out wonderfully! :D <3  Her gloves are awesome~ :3

[Shineshan]

Thanks, I'm coloring Gray Fullbuster right now. ^O^

[Angel~]

Ah!!!

Add in Erza from fairy tail!!!

[Shineshan]

Erza's already here ._.

[Angel~]

I meant for my siggy....
And if possible could it be a bit like yours? I love that look...

[otaku_mel]

Hey, I'm back :D
I have two drawings for you... but you can choose either one (or both? lol, whatever you want)
I'm sorry if the lineart is kind of light- I didn't know my scanner would make them like that...
I'll leave the rest up to you.
Thanks so much! ^^

Thanks so much! ^^

Don't worry, I'll just darken the lines. Btw if you want to make a lineart out of your sketches you should darken them first using a lead pencil or a sign pen(?) so it won't blur when you scan it. (or use an onion paper so your original work won't be destroyed)
Anyway good job, nice sketches. I'll work on it when I finished coloring Gray.

And if possible could it be a bit like yours? I love that look...

Just Erza? Actually I can't think of any good signature design using the deathnote characters, because the artwork is so dull =_= I'll create some samples, and then choose whatever you like.

[otaku_mel]

I could have outlined it with fine liners... but I wasn't sure whether that would affect the colouring...
(Sorry, I don't know much at all about these things ><)
Other than that, can't wait to see how they look!

XD Don't worry I'll just create a lineart out of it. I'll be rushing everything since the start of my school is just around the corner (my school is following a trimester systerm, goodness my next vacation will be on april next year again... TT~TT)

[Angel~]

No, L from Death Note, Erza from Fairy Tail, Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin & Zoro from One Piece..
Could you combine these 4?
That's what I meant... 

[Shineshan]

No, L from Death Note, Erza from Fairy Tail, Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin & Zoro from One Piece..

And the style's like my sig? oAo

[Shineshan]

For otaku_mel and L-Angel:

As you both know, since you two can view the staff only boards.
Me and Tear volunteered (and obviously, it's my job, I don't want to run around with the title as an artist without doing anything related to the job) to color any of the chapters we are releasing, just to be clear, my work as an artist for Transcendence comes first. I'll postpone your requests until I am finished with the colored chapters. I hope you both will understand. And don't worry I am not cancelling any request. Thanks.

[Angel~]

Yes, I would like it to be like your siggy's style :)

T'hat's fine!
Thanks for doing it anyways 
Take your time!!

[otaku_mel]

No problem at all ^^
Of course Transcendence always comes first! XD
Take your time, no need to rush.

[Shineshan]

Yes, I would like it to be like your siggy's style :)

T'hat's fine!
Thanks for doing it anyways 
Take your time!!

Okay, I'll do your sig when I'm bored in coloring the chapter

No problem at all ^^
Of course Transcendence always comes first! XD
Take your time, no need to rush.

I love rushing things!

[Tear]

This made me smile :D

[Shineshan]

This made me smile :D

Hahaha I found it somewhere, so I thought I should post it here

[Shineshan]

Yay~ I found Kagura from my old files. ^O^

[Renny]

[Shineshan]

very pretty colourings 

Thanks Renny. :)

[Renny]

What do you use to colour?

[Shineshan]

Just mouse XD My tablet splitted in half when it was thrown away from the fourth floor of my school :D

For the application I am using, PS CS5 (and when I am in school CS6)

[Renny]

how did that happen??

[icewing]

blargh.

[Shineshan]

how did that happen??

I was quarreling with someone, and I threw my tablet at the person. I didn't noticed that I grabbed my tablet instead of my sketch pad. Luckily she dodged my attack and my tablet flew.

blargh.

O_O

[icewing]

(: it's random. blargh.

[Shineshan]

(: it's random. blargh.

I saw you in DA :D

[Angel~]

Shine-sama!
You are amazing!! Lucyyyyy <3333

[Shineshan]

Shine-s-s-s...ama?

[Angel~]

Yes, shine-sama~
I have the utmost respect for your work

[Shineshan]

Eeep... You can do this too!!

[Angel~]

No I can't....
Colouring is the danger zone for me...
[messing up every single drawing when I try to colour it...]

[Shineshan]

No I can't....

[messing up every single drawing when I try to colour it...]

Read some tutorials?

[Furgeson]

Whoa *o* Such clean line art and coloring for the double Lucy's! <3

[Shineshan]

I always choose linearts with a resolution of 5000 above. Much more easy to color.

[Angel~]

No I can't....

No... I don't have ps, so if I want to colour I gotta do it by hand.....
When I get money I will buy a good tablet and get good ps...
Got any suggestions?

You can use Paint Tool Sai, the program is portable. Though, it was only created for coloring and making linearts. Not like Photoshop, there are some tools like clone whatsoever. Also, the brushes there are pretty nice. AND most of all, user friendly. I can upload my SAI here if you like. The program size is only 4 mb, and like I said before it's portable, no installation needed.

EDIT: I'm only using my mouse to color

That would be great! If you would I can try it, and maybe ask you questions?

[Shineshan]

No problem, ask me whenever you need some help.

Here it is. Just unzip and run 'sai'.

And if a textbox popped up asking something just choose yes.

[Angel~]

When I get to my computer I will download it.. (on ze phoney now...)

Thank you so much shine-sama!

I will be asking questions soon enough 

[Shineshan]

I can teach you any editing/coloring whatsoever application you like.
It's nice to teach someone who's REALLY willing to learn. Unlike the person that asked me to teach him, in the end he boasted about something. Sucks. (his coloring I mean)

[Angel~]

I'd really like to learn!! 
Colouring first and when I got that part down, maybe cleaning/typesetting/editing?

Hahahaha, that's so stupid! I really want to learn and be amazing at it like shine-sama 

[Shineshan]

I'm a VERY strict teacher so please bear with me.

And that's not stupid! Actually, I learned to use photoshop by myself, at that time, I still don't have access to the internet, in other words, self-study. And I got some criticisms from my work, they said it was a trash or something. So I decided to take up Digital/Multimedia Arts major.
And I keep telling myself that the real artists are the crappy artists that never gives up. (I think I saw this too on DA)

[Angel~]

Hahahahaha, I think I'll survive At least I hope so....

Wow, that is so awesome and admirable!

I draw stuff myself, but I always mess up the proportions & am unable to produces nice poses... 
But I will not give up! Neither will you, we will become real and awesome artists!    (I want to see that....)

[Shineshan]

Practice is the key. It makes your work from SUCKS to SUCCESS hahaha! (<- my teacher said that)

And also, lots of enthusiasm.

[Angel~]

True, I always tell myself to practice, but school interferes with that a little too much v-v'
But I will do it!!

Enthusiasm enough, time.... too little 

[Shineshan]

You should find your most vacant time then start practicing, sometimes I lose my interest in something because many things are getting in my way. =_=

[Angel~]

Hmmm, that sounds way too familiar...
But now I got Shine-sama to keep me working ^_~

[Shineshan]

Don't rely on me too much tho, I'm pretty busy this month.

[Angel~]

HHa, no worries, me too... 

I did start trying to make some lineart, out of my own drawing/scetch..
Not sure if I did it correct though...

[Shineshan]

Post it here! Lemme see!

[Angel~]

I'm not done yet!! I was coming along okay and then. Had to work....
Qick question: Imade two layers, one woth the original drawing and one with the lineart, how d I take out the first layer? (when I'm done of course.)

[Shineshan]

Just drag the layer at the Trash Can icon beside the "Clear Layer" icon - the one with eraser, or simply toggle the view so it'll be "unseen". You're using SAI, I suppose?

EDIT: click the EYE beside the Layer you want to hide.

[Angel~]

I am using sai. I'll try that, but first some sleep and work tomorrow...

I'll try to find it!

[Shineshan]

This is a simple tutorial for you to be familiar with SAI environment (see attachment)

This was made by miru-kai from deviantART

[Angel~]

Awesome! Thank you! 

[Shineshan]

I'll give you a sample that I colored in SAI and in PS so that you can see the difference. Or rather quality whatsoever.

[Angel~]

Great, thanks!
I'm making lineart now, and it is taking SO long!!   
I really want a tablet... that would make it so much easier....
Got any suggestions which one I should get?
Or how to do it faster than by redrawing the lines with the mouse (very bumpy) and then pulling them correct?

[Shineshan]

I'm using just a mouse right now =_=

But before, I have a Wacom Intuos4 Large before because it was issued to me of my school. (this is a pretty old model). If I don't need a large one, I should go for the medium or Bamboo series.

When I'm doing some linearts, I usually use PS because I don't have my tablet atm, I use pen tool for that.

[Angel~]

Hmmm okay!

I got the line art pretty much down now, and I wanna start colouring, but when I select a colour and brush, and I try to put it in the drawing, no colour appears, just nothing -.-

Am I doing something wrong?

[Shineshan]

Can you go in our IRC channel? So you can get my answer right away..

EDIT: Crap your post was 30 minutes ago =_= I always close my browser after checking something sorry =_=

[Angel~]

Nah, it's okay!
I figured it out already: I put my layer below the drawing one, so it became invisible...

Currently I'm colouring the clothing, and going really slow 'cuz I need to figure out so much -.-
But I'm colouring and it looks nice so far! :D

EDIT: I added another layer for the hair but now I got no colour once again, but now I can't figure out why!!! help me?

[Angel~]

here is my printscreen, please take a look!

[Shineshan]

^ any update?

[Angel~]

Hahaha, yes!

I got the base layer for the hair now~ (had to work all day so just a little bit got done)

EDIT: my printscreen isn't working....  I'll keep trying!

[Shineshan]

Hahaha, yes!

EDIT: my printscreen isn't working....  I'll keep trying!

Hahaha it's alright! Just finish it first!

[Angel~]

 That might take a while- loads of schoolstuffs.... But I will finish it!!

[Shineshan]

No problem, I can't color some linearts too atm. School work is a mess when the actual classes start.
And, I'm on my way to school. Hahaha

[Angel~]

  but I really want to....

And now I gotta PR quickly, but I can't do it at school 'cuz I can't get the raws!!!! (I need them.....)
I HATE SCHOOL COMPUTERS!!!!! 

[Shineshan]

but I really want to....

But I'm finished already, luckily the chapter wasn't that long...
