Artist's Comments

i started this january 29th of this year. left it for ages and finished it on a half assed whim july 5th. heh. i hate the corset and not too pleased with the tunic thingy either but whatever. i love her hair and face. that's my first time actually trying to get likeness of the pic i'm reffing into the doll hee. (reffing? 'kay yeah you know what i mean, yes?) please let me know if you can't see the hair well on your monitor! especially the hair on her shoulders! it's really detailed but the hair might be hard for non-lsd monitors to see 'cause i always forget they're darker and so i do black hair extra dark so it actually looks black and not grey @__o.

:bulletgreen: Weapons of Choice: WACOM Graphire 4x5 tabbie, Adobe Photoshop 7, 1 px pencil tool.

:bulletgreen: Alternative Weapons: reference pic!. 'tis kate beckinsale kinda my jolie muse if you will heh. though we don't do the whole cheesy "celeb av/sig" claiming and use at the forum *gags*. hate that shiz heh. just so i have something to work from when painting/pixelling her.


um that's it. i got a bunch of cute prep sized bases (three sets actually O__o) if anyone's interested i'll post 'em here maybe.

edit: i don't kow why mac monitors are different but i can see the detail in the hair fine. and now that i've changed it it looks like shit to me. hope it looks better to the windows masses anyway. reuploaded, pissed around with the brightness/contrast in PS and slapped up the rorag forum background so the background's not browser fucking white. why the hell do we have to download to see pixel art now? cock and bullshit. 'kay not touching this again, new DA's put me in the foulest of moods. if it looks shit it looks shit.

/disclaimery thing/
Character "Jolie Harlow", and the world of Abandon/Rorag © to moi! No touchy and shit. I know no one really reads all that crap but just saving my ass and all.
/end disclaimery thing/

She looks great. Then again, I love all you do, but Jolie has a special place because she bears the name of my sweetie ;)

I actually have a really nice flat screen monitor and all that stuff - and the hair still looks blaaack to me...so does the shirt. The corset looks incredible, though, so shiny. XD and I lovvve the base.

Ok I have a fairly expensive, bright, 17" LCD moniter and I can barely see the hair details.

I do think its a whicked piece and the hair (the blue highlights at the top) are the most visable details.

Full view is also not working, I had to download the image instead. (I hate the new DA)

If you have computer access on a cruddy moniter its a great way to check it befor you post it (I check on my husbands computer and the computers at sears just to make sure i can see details lol)

Have a goody

i think the download thing is the new way to go for pixel art. don't have to do that for anything else. and it's put me in a very bitter mood 'cause who wants to see pixels in the top left corner of the browser? colours don't show right there T__T, especially on a white background. once i start school next week i may have access to shitty PCs we'll see heh. then maybe i can design my layouts without cross platform bullshit too. *0*
:iconfoxyrepublic:
well i tried to fix the hair but i doubt it makes any difference. *points up to edit* if i lighten it too much it's like grey and looks like ass. if i ever pixel again i'll have to work on the black hair palette for the 40 billionth time. thanks though.
:iconfoxyrepublic:
i shall post them in the next few days then. actually i won't promise when they'll be posted 'cause school starts next week and i might be moving oct. 1st so i have tons of art supplies and books and other shit to buy and then pack it all, heh. busyness but i'd like to post them in the meantime.
:iconmistress-jaeden:
LMAO agreed.
