this pic is a monumental failure. it has ended up nothing like i intended and conveyed nothing of what i was trying to... but it's pretty and it took me ages so i'ma post it.
dayna is fast becoming one of my favourite characters in coruscate, it's going to be fun writing her. now all i need is a big chunk of time to sit down and flesh the whole thing out. it'll be soon... i hope.
very cool, I have a minor issue with t he body, but hey, you're drawing it not me. what blew me away is the coloring, it's amazing! so I ask three things.
a) how did you do the rainbow effect
b) how did you do the light tracing? (selection opacity?)
c) how do you do shadows on your art? burn ? opacity?

PLEASE DON'T SAY "THANK YOU", IT'S IMPLIED.... and everytime you say 'thank you' I'm forced to kill a kitten! Do you wanna be the one responsible for making me kill a kitten?!
what's the minor issue? i need constructive criticism, it's the ooonly way i'll learn.
as for colouring:
a) to get the rainbow gradient i just used the basic spectrum gradient setting in photoshop. to make it sphereical (in the big jewel on the sword), i made a square patch of the spectrum gradient and ran a polar co-ordinates filter on it which wraps the colours around in a circle.
b) the light was just using the point selection tool and drawing long triangles coming out of the jewel. then i made it white and used soft light i think. i barely ever used straight opacities for anything... always blend!
c) shadows are a combination of soft light and overlay. usually soft light is enough, but if there needs to be a darker area within the shadow, i use overlay.
as I said, i have not studied figures, not even in porn but something looks whack, as far as I can see it relates to the positioning and the size of the breasts and the size of the hips... everything seems to have been dragged out in a straight line and repositioned at equal widths. that and for that abount of clevage I would think that the breasts would be abit higher, but hey, i'm not really qualified to tell you that crap. feel free to rebuke.
a) WTF? o.0? dude, i'm techie but hell when I get lost that's telling you somthing. Polar Co-Ord filter?
B) and C) blending. gah, can NOONE MAKE A DECENT TUTORIAL FOR THESE!
A brand new monthly article which showcases some of deviantART's finest equine artists, as well as recognizing the lesser-known but equally talented ones. Interviews, helpful tutorials and features can all be found here too! I hope you enjoy it.
The idea of this contest is to set you up completely blind with a mythical being - from any world culture - and turn you loose to come up with a deviation based around it!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
