Art Trade with that I've been procrastinating for forever to complete. I wanted to go with some soft coloring and a 2 tone abstract style background, and to add a touch of glow to the glove band.

Hopefully it is to your liking. ^^

And for everyone who's asked for art trades from me, just know I am doing them in the order in which I received them.

As you can see, I'm still working on making a better girl figure... I never hid that I was bad-ish at it and hopefully this streak of ATs will help me solve that, otherwise I'll have a problem. xD

Aalia-

Art-

Clean render may be released on it's own later.

Well, look who actually got something done. No, not me... That'd be silly. For those who don't already know, this is based off of a sketch made by in her character sheet located at this [link] .

My original plan was to get this AND an Art Trade done over the break but I am lazy and lots of stuff happened with friends over the break (nothing bad, just hanging out and enjoying the break) and I lost track of time until I had really.. no time left to use. My bad.

I improvised a lot of the background to fit this picture into a realistic environment yet again because I'm trying to move away from the black backgrounded color splats like I mentioned in my last pic. This was also a small experiment in another way because I ran this picture through some filters (to make it look less dull) and the shine that came out really caught my eye and a couple bud's eyes so I stuck with a filter version.

Anyways, here we have Saff.. the lazy bum is basking in the moonlight with a cocky grin on his face, the bastard. <3

If he's enjoying sitting there as much as I enjoyed working on this pic, no wonder why he's grinning so huuge... xD

SaffronTH - me.. yes me

You can also Critique me into my grave if you wish.

Team Vheissu pic 1/3

Stellar is back. The first of part of 3 for the team is done.

Awhile ago I was talking with about an alternate appearance for Stel to use now and then so I came up with the Shooting Star look for him, looks a bit darker but you get a similar feel. ^^

Hope everyone likes how it came out, more pics on the way soon. ^^

EDIT: Oshi... Yes I just realized I said allbowdown08 in the bottom corner, I knew people on the west of the US were behind but sheesh. D=

What was that saying about full harvest moons? Oh well, perfect timing to experiment with a more scruffy style, something that I couldn't do practically with the Pen.

Look out, it's the mighty WereSaff... and he's hungry. >3

Saffron the Hedgehog / WereSaff -

NOTE: This was a pen test and is NOT the official Halloween pic.

WHILE THE PIC IS NEW THIS IIIISSSS A TUTORIAL FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT TOO, just in case you missed that. x3

If you would rather not grab the RAR then no worries because I have other options in place, a two piece download for the images and text to be exact.

From the RTF - My goal here is to create a simple, straightforward way of teaching Photoshop's Pen tool. It is really really easy once you learn the basics and you will probably never need another tutorial again if this one is good enough at explaining it.

---

Which I hope it will be.

As you can see the preview is also of a sketch I've never had on the net before so I guess that adds a bit to it.

To help make this tutorial better, present any questions/ inadequacies you may have to me via note or MSN (as provided on my homepage and in the text) and if this works I may move onto other quick-ish tutorials on effective coloring e.t.c.

Real work you say!?!? FINE.. HERE..

Now that the "full digital picture" drought is over I plan to quickly move onto the Halloween pick which I must say is heavily downsized compared to last years rendition, and it may come a little late, but I'm workin on it.

Until then you have Greengressive to keep you entertained, and that entertainment is very entertaining ifuknowatImean. >3

He's an awesome guy and this was something I've been trying to get out of the way for a couple months but now that it's out I hope everyone approves, because if you don't he'll smash you in rage only Aggressive can display. Another work of perspective with a little motion, I can't call it flawless because there are always problems with my work that I wanna correct after the fact but overall I like the way it came out. Go Green and Yellow one hog pound brigade.

AggressiveTH - a.k.a. the allmighty faggressive You know it >D

I will return.

This is just a small playaround with my tablet and some Photoshop filter settings on an unfinished piece of lineart you may recognize. I kinda liked the feel the picture gave off so I said "Why not just throw it up and see what happens."

It's a quick work overall (just about an hour or 2, the lineart I'm counting as separate time) using the tablet for some rough paint and highlighting work.

But it does give Saff a cool setting, I always felt that a dark, ominous background with a bright spot could have some potential with his color scheme.

Saffron and Art -

Tableted one of the ref sketches and gave it a nice lighting touch. Hope it looks fancy enough.. at least it's cleaner than WereSaff... but then again it's not hard to be. xD

*Yes is still working on Halloween pic and a few other doodles but I took on a side project*

Saff is happy, he's colored again.

Saffron the Hedgehog + Art =

"I don't think I like your tone..."

Rule #1- Don't piss off the hedgehog...

Rule #2- If you must piss off the hedgehog, run away... really fast.


I like the way this came out. The base was made by nearly a month ago and I really liked Saffron in the sketch so I had to mess around with it.. with permission of course. xD

He is missing his two big back quills but since they were absent in the base and since it looked better without them I basically threw up my arms and said he'll have a haircut for this one pic.

So yeah.. Angry purple hedgehog. Nothin to see here folks. Move along.

Saffron and Digital work - <-- yes me!

Sketch base - <-- Thanks. x3

I was inspired by seeing a few of those "in show" style pics so I thought about trying one myself. Sorry for some sloppiness in the background, I'm still working on making better settings for pictures.
************

Winter has rolled in, and with it, Saff is wandering the snowy hills outside of the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, mostly to get some piece and quiet away from society. It is somewhat clear that he was approached by a being not pictured but that whoever did come doesn't seem to be out looking for a brawl. Being used to fighting and violence Saff's first reaction (or instinct/reflex) was to put his guard up, which he is in the middle of dropping with a questionable look on his face at this exact time.

Fact of the matter is, he hasn't gotten along well with too many others for awhile, he's really only open to a small set of closer friends and really just turns himself off in public. His general distrust is kind of sad since it prevents too much socialization and unless around those previously mentioned friends, he really just sticks to himself. He is cold to the world, hence the name. Provided the chance to maybe talk he will probably walk out and continue to wander the cold for awhile. It'll probably be a lonely Christmas.
