What Hath Foxy Wrought?

Yes, more tablet practice requests.

Uhhh. I think these sketches are kind of ugly. But I am trying! Right now I still only use the PAINTBRUSH TOOL. All on one layer. You can probably do other things with Photoshop, but I don't know what they are. Photoshop is the enemy! And with that attitude, I'm probably not going to get much better.

Firstly, for [livejournal.com profile] alexds1:


I think she asked for this just to torment me. OK, the concept behind this sketch is that spirit Zhao is lonely, so he bothers Iroh with his--uh, spirit needs? I don't want to think about it too much. Probably I shouldn't have messed around with the contrast. But I did!




Secondly, for [livejournal.com profile] armistice_day:


This is a drawing from the Jetkka AU! Which you have never heard of before and will likely never hear about again. Well, maybe I'll draw another picture from it. I had lots more fun drawing this one, which is probably evident.



They're supposed to be in their twenties. The real irony of this picture was that I started out with the intent to use bright colors! I then promptly did no such thing.

The laminate of my desk is so cool against my face. Thank god.
Oh, love you, stupid! Jet in a shirt and tie will be the sweet, longed-for death of me. Oh, that silent exchange! Sigh!

Um, yeah.

Hahaha, spirit needs! Oh, Zhao, you should have made friends in life!
Iroh looks suitably uncomfortable.

So, where are the ugly sketches? ;3

Iroh! *cheers* Poor Zhao. Nobody talks to him in the Spirit World. I guess Hahn was getting bored. XD

Jetkka--definite win. Not as mcuh as Iroh/Zhao (yes, I like Iroh, lol; he grew on me, over the course of the series. His nephew, too, but... lol)

I also have to ask: where are the ugly sketches? B3

Ahihihihih...this is something, I'm smiling and cheeks are getting strained. >D

Sokka and Jet, the pair to be. <3

Iroh regrets having traveled to the spirit world for sure by now XD You suffered through your task admirably!

What version of PS do you use? If its higher than 7 you should try fooling with the pressure/ line thickness sensitivity option or those other ones that I'm too lazy to figure out XD Then when you're a master at it you can teach me! Best plan ever.

Reiteration: I don't see no ugly sketches X3

Haha, thank you so much! Your sympathy (however ironic) is much appreciated.

And you know how I love to draw loveyl gazing! <3

[identity profile] foxysquidalso.livejournal.com 2007-07-08 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Lovey gazing, that is.

Yeah, now Iroh sees the error of his ways! BUT TOO LATE. Haha, and thank you! I tried my best to warm to the subject. I realized too late that younger Iroh and Zhao might have been hotter. Dammit. Maybe next time.

I am using the Photoshop Elements 3 that was packaged with the tablet. Sooo, I'm not sure how that applies.

And I'm glad you don't think the sketches are too ugly. XD

[identity profile] foxysquidalso.livejournal.com 2007-07-08 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Aww, thank you! <3 Glad you like them.

Haha, I had no outlet for Jet & Sokka, so I secretly created another AU. So dorky!

[identity profile] foxysquidalso.livejournal.com 2007-07-08 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Hahaha, so glad you like it! Now I want to draw more Jetkka AU pictures to let off steam... No, wait, Steam's another pairing! ;) Yes, there's something appealing about messy-haired Jet in a shirt and tie, I think...

Zhao really should have been friendlier. Now no one cares about his needs! Iroh, I don't blame you! For being uncomfortable, that is.

Aww, and thanks! ♥

Haha, yes, I guess the Iroh picture does not take place in the bizarre "Three Dead Guys" AU.

I love Iroh! He's definitely one of my favorites. Well, I love everyone, more or less, but Iroh is high on the list. And I like Jetkka because they'd be one of those fighty couples, which is very cute.

And thank you, I'm glad you don't think the sketches are ugly! That's a relief.

^_____^

I still want to see the people of Ba Sing Se rise up and save Iroh, including some of the Dai Li. Behold! The power of tea!

Iroh = Sixth Sense. I see dead people, and...creatures.
