Yes, the dino is great! :)
But I really like the colouring on that second "faux" creature. It looks so vibrant and almost iridescent.

Thanks Val - I aimed for (green) jade but I guess I went a bit haywire with the colour shifts and shading colour :P

I just love it :sarcasm: when I open a file to work on and find this:


(some people just love using clipping layers. Preferably with a million other, unnamed, layers so that it's just impossible to understand what's what. In these cases I usually resort to just copying the linework layer and then doing the rest (new shading and so on) from scratch...)

That's hilarious, Charlotte. :lol:
I've never understood how people do collaborations. Everyone has their own idiosyncratic ways of doing even the simplest things. I dread to think what anyone would do with my horrid sketches and my lack of layers is just embarrassing. :blush:

And I still don't "get" clipping masks. :dunno:

That's because ArtRage doesn't have them ;) (which is why I get the above results when other people use them)

All Aywas pet PSDs have a basic structure; a base colour layer (flat color), a shading layer, a light layer and a lines layer plus usually an eye highlight layer. But then people add extra layers and they keep using clipping masks that they don't "apply" when the work is done. I mean, once they're finished they could cut away all the unneeded stuff outside of the lines. Sometimes they add glow outside the lines and I have to use the base layer to select and cut everything outside, away. Which means I might end up cutting things away that should be there. Oh well, for this one I want to make my own edits so it's pretty much OK whatever I do as long as at least 50% of the lines are still there :P

I've been thinking of doing little "chipmonk" pets for Aywas... so I used Valentine as an excuse to practice.... The design isn't where I want it yet, though... (everyone sends everyone "love letters" in aywas for valentine, or aylentine... I probably mentioned that last year... :dry:)

Now I feel left out.
No-one ever gives me an identity crisis. :(
