Back to black, Commissions, and Heroes fanfic

Journal Entry: Mon Apr 14, 2008, 10:58 PM
  • Mood: Optimism
  • Listening to: Plain White T's
  • Watching: Heroes for the umpty-second time
  • Playing: Engel
Finally - I'm back on track with commissions. Suzene's is done, Poufy's Brisco is ready to be coloured, and then I can finally get to melyanna's. And after that, it's the contest prize artwork!

You should be noticing a definite increase of dark colours in my next pictures. The reason is simple - I got a new monitor on Saturday and was nearly knocked off my chair when I realised how dark my old one had become. Thusly, most of my recent pics (recent meaning since 2006 or so...) were *never* meant to be as pastelly as they turned out. I wonder what you thought when you saw my "Bastard of Camlo Hill" and read my comment about Aidan wearing black, when, in fact, it was closer to lilac... :O_o:

I should have noticed that the entire lower half of my Photoshop palette was entirely black on my screen. ;) I'll probably go and re-upload some of my older pics the way they were meant to be. I can't get over what they look like. If any of you added me to their watchlist because of my use of pastelly colours, my sincerest apologies. :D

Last but not least, I've recently written a bit more Heroes fanfic. :D I uploaded "8:12 PM" but dA isn't the best place for word formatting - I use a lot of italics and going through them all again before uploading is rather tedious. So if you're into Heroes and want to take a peek, my fanfic can be found here. [link]

A shorter one, The growing frustrations of Officer Parkman, illustrates Matt Parkman's and Nathan Petrelli's first meeting in Texas.

I'm currently writing the last (short) chapters of Fathers and Sons, my take on Petrelli family dynamics, including flashbacks to when Nathan and Peter were kids. Inasmuch as they were ever kids at the same time. ;)

So, hopefully some new stuff coming up soon. :)

You are no quitter if the thing that once intrested you becomes boring and you decide to move on. YOU are no quitter if you expande your knowledge and leave the thing that once swallowed your life die. YOU ARE NOT A QUITTER!

Love your style and coloring technique. The detail put into everything, and stories behind each piece, is amazing.

Fantastic stuff. I consider myself very much a Tolkien purist, and your stuff just blows me away. :) You get all the little details right, not to mention making it stunningly beautiful at the same time.

Fantastic work! Can't wait to see more.

Maedhros the Tall... I must say, your picture of Maedhros (the one used on Wikipedia) is amazing. My younger sister is actually considering reading The Silmarillion! My thirteen-year-old sister! ^_^ I like his other names - Maitimo (would that I could be called well-shaped!) and Russandol. Copper-Top is a cute nickname. I like him for trying to abandon the Oath, though, but however much I like him and Maglor, I can never forgive the sons of Feanor for what they did at Doriath.

It really looks like if it was done with water colour. I would love it I could do such things with Photoshop -.-"
