lj-cut? LJ-CUT? NO LJ-CUT FOR YOU



Meet Kestrel. She marks my first attempt at something approaching cel-style shading. She also gets to hang around in front of a crap background that took way too long to do. The trees started life as part of a photo taken by [livejournal.com profile] chrisxk, and I manipulated said photo without permission, for I am evil. Plus I know he'd give me permission if I asked anyway.

I really, really like Gargoyles. Can you tell?

Also, from m-w.com:
Main Entry: kes-trel
Pronunciation: 'kes-tr&l
: any of various small chiefly Old World falcons (genus Falco) that usually hover in the air while searching for prey: as a : a common Eurasian falcon (F. tinnunculus) b : an American falcon (F. sparverius) having a reddish brown back and tail and bluish gray wings

So now you know.

Yeah, hands that aren't blobs, and everything!

Indeed that is nice, for a drawing that took three years.
Seriously, though, it's great. Muchly so.
I must steal Mark's tablet, if it can do shininess of this sort.

Well, keep in mind, a lot of the shininess is not from the tablet, but from PSP's vector tool -- editing vectors is, in fact, much easier with a mouse than with the tablet. I love vectors, have I mentioned this yet? *hugs vectors*

Oh? And why is that, pray tell?

EAT VECTORS
And reading what you write yourself might help.

I write a number of things. Perhaps it would help if you would tell me to which you are referring.

The one you wrote just before the one I wrote after which you asked me why I envied vectors.

...dude, I'm tired. Why don't you be a bit more helpful and, oh, REPEAT THE THING so I can tell what's going on? :P
