Oooh, care to drop a hint?

Sometimes it's kinda fun to take guesses at secrets.

Wow, thanks for the comments everyone! *huggles!* ^_^

You may have been wondering what I've been working on in the time being...I've been working on another big oekaki :) Unfortunately safety saving it didn't work so I've uploaded it to another oekaki so I can finish it off later. But I thought I'd show you it in progress. So here's my picture of a peacock, half-done! XD (the original reference photo again comes from the very kind Brett B!)

Hope you like! :) I can't wait to get this finished! XD

Would anyone here be interested if I recorded myself talking about how I approach oekakis? :) I can try that if you think it'd help!

You did that peacock?? You're amazing, I just need to stare to you!

Just a thingie, aren't you thinking of evolving? You can't remain a Grovyle forever! And you have enough experience to evolve!!! Just a lil' joke to raises up the feelings!

Please, talk with us and tell us how you approach oekakis!

Okay, I know I'm exagerating a bit but those pics <(all you made until know)> are awesome!

FG, your art never cease to amaze me.

I love how you can make a transition from cel-shaded Pokemon and to photorealistic animal oekakis and back again. Ok, that sentence didn't make sense. Sorry about that. But what I mean is that you have the skill to both do such things. It'll be years before I reach that level of skill that you currently have...and that's why the oekaki is one of my major digital art place thingers.

Keep it up! :)

lol I sound leik a sukup lawl

Edit: as for showing how you do it...maybe a tutorial using the animated PaintBBS?

Wow, so many responses! :D Thanks so much everyone! *huggles* ^_^ Here are my replies!

Cy: Hehe, thanks so much! Your comment makes me giggle XD I hope I can get this one finished! I might draw a smaller oekaki to tide me over in the meantime :) I think I need a little break from this one as it's a bit time-consuming!

QFred: hehe! Perhaps when I reach the age of 32 I should change my name to Forest Sceptile! XD It might be a novel idea to do that sometime! :) I'll think about what I'd like to say in my recording - are there any questions you'd like me to answer?

Blazin Espio: Thanks so much! :D I'm so glad you like it! ^_^ *hugs!*

Pok-Munna: Thank you! The head was the first part I drew ^_^ It was probably the part that was the most fun to draw, too! So I'm so glad you like it! :D

Yami's Girl: Awwwww, thanks! You are great too! *huggles right back!* I'm so glad you like the picture! ^____^

Dardanel: Wow! What a compliment! *blush* Thanks so much! It means a lot to me that you think that of my drawing! ^_^

kygore trainer: hehe, a very precise rating! :D Thanks! That's such a sweet compliment! ^__^ I really appreciate it!

FNA: I'm going to probably record myself giving oekaki hints and tips ^_^ Layers weren't really much of an issue in this pic as they have been in others :) There's no real "background" to speak of so I just did the head and neck on the foreground and the tail on the background ^_^

Housyasei-san: Thanks so much! :D Hehe, yeah I love to vary my art styles! ^_^ I think I'm on an oekaki kick at the moment! It's just such a fun program to use! I would do a tutorial using animated, but my oekakis take so long that the animation program won't work :( It doesn't like long oekakis (ones that take at least a week) so it wouldn't send them in animation mode...sorry about that! >_<

If anyone has any questions they'd like me to answer if I record myself, I'd be happy to try and answer them! :)

You possibly don't know me... but I have seen your master pieces since I joined... I wonder why I never posted? .... lazyness... and probably because it was 4:05 AM here where I am XD. But anyway... I will try to visit this section more often... you know... I'm not an artist like you XD... I just don't know how to draw. Anyway... I'm just telling ya I really like your master pieces and that they are the best of all. The falcon, the Charmeleon, and the peacock rocked. Was there a Staryu? that one rocked too XD, 'cause everything you draw is awesome and leaves everyone breathless!
LOOK AT ME!!!!! Good! now... leave me alone! XD

So long as you're here FG, we probably might forget the difference between a painting and real life. *Laughs*

As for the walk through, it might be helpful, since it would give others and understanding as to how you do so well.
Buutt....
It doesnt have to be a voice recording.
Even a summarized walkthrough would be cool!

Wow, what kind things to say! :D Thanks guys! *hugs everyone* I need to do some more art soon...unfortunately since I don't have the 'net at home atm (hoping for next week sometime!) I can't get onto an oekaki :( Which really sucks...I'll have to see if I can whip up something on Photoshop so that I have something to show everyone when I come back! :)

Thank you, Max Hunter! *huggles!* ^_^
I've just found out about when I will be getting my Internet back, and it should be 99% sure I'll be getting it back on Tuesday! :D Yay!!
I have a tutorial made for you ^_^ I hope it'll come in useful! I decided that I had to have something to show everyone when I came back, so I thought I'd whip up something quick.

Unfortunately someone managed to hack into my webhost's server so my site is down at the moment...I hope to have that up again soon! Sorry about all the broken images! >_<
