I'm on vacation right now, but I just wanted to say that I plan on posting stuff like:
*Comic pages-single pages, unrelated to the rest...for now at least. I might do a real, longer comic one day since I do have serveral stories I'd like to tell. Otherwise, if you'd like to see a few pages featuring a certain character of mine, feel free to suggest it.
*Animations-as soon as I figure out how to use Flash. Halp?
*Character sheet-Nebo's first. Dunno about others.
*Bookmarks-because I like reading and I love bookmarks :D

]]> ~sehelei Realism and bad artists... http://sehelei.deviantart.com/journal/21166640/ http://sehelei.deviantart.com/journal/21166640/ Sun, 26 Oct 2008 07:01:27 PDT Image Description

I wanted to get rid of that months old journal as I am now back on leash and school holds the other end.

Now, let the ranting begin!

Rant#1:
Many people seem to think that the peak of one's skills as an artist is to learn how to draw humans (this again, is a rant for some other time) or how to draw realism. Honestly? Realism can be learned and quite frankly ultimate correctness of anatomy is not what all artists should strive for. Yes, I care for anatomy but I am willing to distort it if I want to and if I think it would get the mood right, I'm not a slave to it like some other artists who think that if the proportions and anatomy aren't all top-notch everything will fall apart. I suppose even popular artists on DA expect the usual styles of art or at least imitations of popular ones like anime or Disney
(I'm a big fighter against the "Every artist rips-off" argument). Oh, and skills do not equal talent. Personally I would never call an artists who can paint in hyper-realism, no matter how convincing, talented.


Rant#2:
I've noticed a number of artists absolutely and utterly suck in both concepts and skills and yet somehow seem to get all the good artists to watch them. I'm not being jealous here (ok, maybe a little ;P), I'm more annoyed that both the artist's skill and lack of originality are overlooked because they draw furries or wolves. In fact, sometimes they are even watched only because they imitate or copy certain great artist's style or at least their concepts and themes! Some of these people even complained about the lack of originality and yet continue to be supportive of such copycats. I suspect most of you have no idea what I'm talking about but if someone does, feel free to convince me this isn't all just in my head.
Note however that this isn't an attack on people who are still learning but rather people who watch bad and sucky artists simply because they do realism or something like that.

Well, ever since friday. Free to work on all my works and sketches laying around unfinished! At first I couldn't even grasp the amount of freedom I have gained. I would constantly feel like I have to do something. But I don't! Bwahahaha, it feels so good! So there's a possibility I'll upload more works than usual :D

Can anyone tell me how to animate in ImageReady? I'd like to do some animations and I have no idea how! And if anyone knows of some freeware animation program, tell me!

PS: I didn't forget about your commission, Lycan :D

I would like to thank dear :iconkiarei-star: for featuring me! I'm so flattered! She made a journal to feature me (which is probably how most of you got here) and I wanted to express my gratitude by featuring her as well. So, thanks Kiarei and to those who haven't seen her art yet here are a few thumbnails (she has so much more art than I do so it's pretty hard to pick):
1.
2.
3.

She's making a comic too so go watch her. Thanks to everyone who's leaving comments, watching me and faving my stuff! I'm grateful for the support! I'm planing to do another "Pups" drawing with other characters.

Well, I would also like to apologize to :iconlycandid: for taking so long with his comission. I just can't seem to get it right. Sorry!

]]> ~sehelei Subscription! Who? http://sehelei.deviantart.com/journal/16220596/ http://sehelei.deviantart.com/journal/16220596/ Wed, 02 Jan 2008 08:45:48 PST Image Description

:iconlycandid: bought me a subscription! Yay, thank you sooo much! I'm surprised someone gave me a subscription after only a day and that someone actually spent money on me. Thank you!

Photoshop is playing tricks on me so I can't make my journal fancy. But as soon as I fugure out what went wrong I'll do it!

Enough of that, would anyone care to buy "poor, little me" a subscription for a drawing of your character? You know, like a commission. Because I'd really want one, but I can't pay for it. I heard you can change your journals and add pictures and make polls :D That would be so pwnsome!

And now, I'd like to thank everyone who posts comments and watches me! Thanks a lot, you guys rock!

Anyway, I hope everyone had an awesome new year! Not a very big party at my place but oh well. How did your New year go?
