Ba-bimping this with art:

Another palette challenge piece! Actually, this was the second or third palette challenge that I tried this past summer. They were really nice colors for Rue and I had a lot of fun with it and making up an outfit.

(It's here on tumblr, too: http://amissapanda.tumblr.com/post/90397523910/twerking-through-the-otome-said-rue-and-8 )

Also, please don't be intimidated by my tl;dr-ing in replies! I'm just a wordy person in text. You don't have to feel like you have to match it or anything. XD; I hope no one finds that too off-putting. I'll try not to ramble on as much.

YOSHHH, JUSTICE IS SERVED! If I ever find out who wrote that tag, I'll smack 'em >:(

I shall play Skyward Sword and let you know what I think <3 AND YAAAAAS, omfg, of course I've read Umineko! RYUKISHI07 TOUCHES MY HEART LIKE NO OTHER. The characters may be crazy as fcuk, but they're relatable at the same time TwT His visual novels make me feel so empowered, especially when the stories pertain to survival and sticking together against all odds. Aw man, all that sense of teamwork, collaboration, friendship, love, and trust?!! Sure, the first four arcs are usually about betrayal and back-stabbing, BUT EVERYBODY LEARNS FROM THEIR MISTAKES XDDD It's also pretty cool how seven is the magic number in every single one of Ryukishi07's works (hence his name, LAWL). Check out Rose Guns Days and Higurashi, if you haven't already I'd recommend Higanbana, but it's sub par compared to the others.

Ahaha, can your family adopt me, please? I love animals, but my parents don't share the same feeling ;w; Ohh, I saw a picture of your precious doggy in the Scavenger Hunt thread; he's so cute and fluffy, omg! <333 I'm allergic to cats, too, so I know your pain ;___; One of my best friends is a kitty hoarder. She couldn't live without her babies (and I can't breathe whenever I'm around them OTL).

HOLY BEJESUS, I LOVE YOUR ART CONTEST ENTRY <333 Such bright and vibrant colors! It was very creative of you to include all the possible town fruits on each of the cake layers. Tee-hee, and all your villagers are dressed up in snazzy outfits. Pure love indeed <3 I hope you make it to top three! You have a high chance of winning

z0mg, Rueeeeee...!! *strokes picture* Totemo kirei... [So pretty...]

I'm not going to worry about it too much. At least, not in my case. But I AM worried that someone on the younger side on this forum could get a comment/tag like that and take it seriously. I'm going to be on the look out.

Haha, I kind of figured you probably had heard of/read Umineko already. XD (Don't get me started on Beatrice/Battler feels.) I only dip my toes in things like that, as I'm squeamish IRL and often times depictions and descriptions of gore can paint clear pictures in my head that make me feel sick. It's something I haven't been able to fix all my life. Anyway, I've definitely heard of Higurashi, but not the other one. He does have a real knack for telling stories and keeping you guessing, though. There's that one big spoiler in Umineko that threw me for a loop, since I never suspected it.

That's sad that your parents don't like animals. : ( My mom is kind of neutral on them (she did like cats a lot, but I broke that dream after I got allergic), but my dad loves them. We're all really happy with Dante, though. He loves everyone in the family and he's spoiled rotten, but it's clear that he's happy and he makes us happy. Especially my dad. I wish I had adopted a dog sooner, when my dad was still struggling with Leukemia and his transplant. Having Dante around has improved his recovery and he just seems happier and talks about dying less often. But yeah, my best friends online both have cats and I'm super sad that I wouldn't be able to visit them. They adore those kitties and we all basically post pictures of our babies on social media sites and coo at them, haha. I'm surprised you saw Dante in the Scav Hunt thread, though. I don't remember posting any of the pictures I took there (I just send them in to Phineas). It really does suck being allergic to cats. They seem to love me, but like you, I can't breathe when I'm around them. I've tried allergy meds and they just don't help with the cats, unfortunately.

Awww, thank you. I'm glad you liked the entry. I don't think I have any chance of top 3, hahahaha. There's way too many amazing entries---and that's just from what we've seen publicly posted so far. Plus, I'm pretty new around here and they do voting by popular vote, so I wouldn't get my hopes up or anything. I'm glad you liked it, though! It was a huge challenge for me to take on, considering my struggle with drawing animals, but I'm happy that I was able to finish in time.

Glad you liked the little palette pic of Rue, too. : ) I'm sure people must get tired of me posting here in my thread to share stuff/talk to people, but thanks for finding me worthy of talking to! I really appreciate it.

I'll be patient until they do. lol

But thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy the palette challenges. I'm sure I'll never stop drawing, that's for sure. 'Tis my biggest passion. Your support is very welcome and appreciated, though.

If it was removed, the tag has somehow made its way back <:/

I think it hasn't actually been removed yet. I'll wait until the mod has time to deal with it. I'm sure they're swamped with Fair stuff, so I don't mind waiting until then.



Anyway, guys, no art post tonight. I have lots of old art to share yet, but I'm having a downright terrible and awful day and I'm just not feeling it tonight. I'll try to get back on track tomorrow.

 

[Thunder]

Sorry about that. Sort of slipped through the cracks between my job and the fair, whoops.

Hey, no problem! Thank you very much, Thunder. : ) I appreciate it a lot.

 

[Amissapanda]

Bampu~

I'll be posting a bunch of art later. Finally got a lot of my Christmas present drawings done!

 

[Amissapanda]

Christmas art for my sister's two kids (my nephew and niece):

Rose: Her absolutely adorable and cheerful daughter.

Eli: Her spunky, energetic and somewhat bad-tempered son.

Out of the pictures she sent me, I particularly liked their outfits from this past Easter, so I worked with recreating those and changing a few things (colors here and there, plus I gave Rose a scarf).

I hope my sister's kids will like them. She requested pictures of them again this year, since apparently they loved the last ones I did for them. I'm still nervous, though. You never know what kids want out of something like like this when they get older. I'll be sending them my sister's way in e-mail soon, though.

 

[Hyoshido]

Aww, those are so lovely!

I bet they'll love em :3c

 

[Amissapanda]

YOU HAVE BIRTHED PAGE 50 OF MY THREAD.

But thank you so much! I really do hope they'll like them. I've been trying to make my Christmas art presents as good quality as I can. I want so much to make them all happy. ;-;



Also, whoever gave me the "visual poetry" tag, I'm honored, thank you!

 

[Amissapanda]

I am literally so happy right now.

Not just because of four day weekend, but... I finished everything I needed to get done for Christmas, drawing-wise. All of it. Even the 16 gift sketches for tumblr users. And I didn't wait until Christmas Eve to do it for once!

I feel like I could take on the world right now.

I envy you so much HAHAHA.
How did you even finish 16 gift sketches holy-

Yes Amissa I think you're qualified to take over the world actually - :'D

Every time I see this thread bumped.

New milestone I added, make Amissa happy by being the birth of her 50th page in her art thread.
I FEEL SO REWARDED AYY!!

Honestly, I'm still happy to have gotten that Ness piece from you :'> means alot yo!
I hope all the people you've drawn for will always love the effort you put into them!

It just takes the mentality to sit down and get it done! I'm good about working on something to I finish, but often times it's the starting that becomes the real struggle. And as for the sketches... well, they were just quick things like bust shot sketches and such. XD I knew I would have to be completely nuts if I offered something more than that to my tumblr followers.

Lmao, nawwwwwwww. I just feel like I've accomplished a lot and that's a good feeling. It can sorta make you feel like you can do anything. Granted I woke up early and I'm really, really groggy today. lol

OH, FRIEND.

I'm really happy that you still find it worthy of being in your signature after all this time! And it was a pleasure.

It really is a big milestone for me, too. To be honest, I didn't expect I would be here as long as I have been---or at least actively posting after all that time.

 

[pengutango]

Aww, thank you so much! And that's so sweet of you, really. I appreciate the bumping thought!

Also, just so I don't double-post, here's what I was trying to explain to Pengu on Bunni's stream earlier about my tablet monitor's issues with lines:

There were some that I smoothed out here (like for her facial structure and such), but the majority of the lines you see otherwise are wobbly as heck. Since this was a quick 20-minute doodle thing, I didn't take my care with it and you can see the lines that my tablet monitor makes normally in a lot of places. It's frustrating as heck. And I still redrew a lot of them multiple times to try not to get ones that jittered so much. But you can see it in most of the lines. This is using a paint tool, not a binary or pencil tool. Literally the smoothest option I have and it's still nowhere near smooth.

I hope this explains better than my attempt at verbally explaining. lol

*is SUPER~ late* XD Ohhhhh, now I see what you mean by the wobbly line thing. That's REALLY odd. Never seen something like that before. Makes sense why you tend to not do fully digital pieces. If it's not a settings thing, maybe it's a defect somewhere, as this really doesn't seem normal. You said your drivers are fine too, if I recall, so sadly can't think of anything else it could be, besides an actual defect with your device.

But, with most of your pieces, to be honest, I can't even tell that you just colored the original pencil sketch. Hey, whatever works. Still looks great, despite the tablet issues.

Your art is like great hair, I'm not sorry for posting this so you'll have to live with it ok.

Most art threads wouldn't be the same without you Amissa! those "Draw my OC's/Mayor" threads would've only gotten larger without your words!

Yeah, that's the weird thing about it. I followed the instructions to get rid of my other tablet drivers first (for a really, really old Wacom one I had). And I didn't do any installing until after that. I guess it's possible one of the driver files was too well-hidden to find, but I've looked many times and I just don't see what could be causing the problem. In a way, I guess... it's that you get what you paid for. Though I read FANTASTIC reviews about it before I bought it, the brand (Yinova - Panda City) is not well-known and is literally under a THIRD of the price of a Cintiq for the same size and dimensions. But I bought it almost two years ago now, so it's not something I can really just up and return. Ah well. I'll make do!

Thanks, though. : )

I will gladly live with it. I've reached Loreal Hair Meme Status! *gasp* First page 50 and now this. You're just aiming to hit all of my milestones, aren't you?

Lol, to be honest, there's still plenty. But eh, yougins will be youngins. I'll just hang out in my rocking chair and casually focus on my own stuff and support the other artists/writers/creators instead.

You could try contacting customer support, but I dunno how much help they'll be since your tablet is nearly 2 years old. Worth a shot, if you haven't already done that. Hmm, I knew that company sounded familiar, but wasn't 100% sure where I first heard about it. After some searching, I remember that I was talking to another artist on TBT, feavre, who has a tablet from the same company. I dunno if they have the same one as you.

From what I saw in our past conversations on drawing tablets, they have the Yiynova MSPU tablet monitor and like you said, it's a fraction of the price of the Cintiq. Apparently, in their experience in using both that tablet and a Wacom Intuos4, they mentioned that the Yiynova one has better tracking and pen pressure... at the cost of not as good resolution.

I would say you can contact them, since they might have some better insight, but... I haven't seen them actively on TBT in quite some time now. They do also have a tumblr and DA, so that's another option too. :3
