The details, they burn!

So, first bit of obligatory fanart. There's about a 0.1% chance of this actually happening in the game, but it's what started coming to mind when I think about Zelda adept with a sword, and hear other people discuss the co-op dungeons in Wind Waker. And I know it doesn't make sense for her to be dungeon-crawling in such a fancy dress, but it's the only bit of official wardrobe we've got, dammit.



Actually they're not lost, just taking a rest and trying to figure out what to do with all the weird switches in this room. Go go puzzle solving

- Argh too many details can't take it anymore ::head explodes::
- I think I will be seriously dissuaded from casual fanart for this game just because it's such a pain in the ass (even more than before) to reproduce anybody's costumes. Of course the solution would be to just draw all the characters nude XP
- Yeah, I could just rough it (and probably will, eventually), but I look at the amount of work and detail the art team put into the game and I feel like I'm obliged to do it justice. ^^;
- I hate this getting-better-at-art thing. My standards are rising so high that I can't spend just a couple hours cranking out a cheapie doodle anymore. It always has to be a big drawn-out affair to make sure I include all the details and moods in my mind's eye ¬_¬ And the time-to-quality ratio is not even very good ¬_¬
- That EGM issue is surprisingly good for reference. The magazine printing, though small, is even higher-res than the large images posted before. Anyone need ultra-huge scans?
- I think it'd actually be easier to cosplay this stuff than to draw it. XP ::cry::
- Dramatic lighting saves bad lineart the day again! or not
- And dear god, don't even talk to me about how bad I am at drawing shoes/feet. ><

What's so wrong with his leg that I'm not allowed to look at it? Aside from the, er, proportion issues...

As for OpenCanvas, I've heard that it's supposed to be good, but I can't seem to find a freeware version or a free trial anywhere, but that might just be that I'm not looking hard enough. (I blew all my money on my tablet, uh, about four months ago, so... heheh, kinda broke. Oh well. I luffie my 12000U.) I'll just have to filch it off of one of my friends, though my parents will probably want to strangle me for putting more stuff on 'their' computer. (Heheh, I'm really starting to annoy them with that... >D) And as for the lineart brush... well, darnitall anyway. I'll just have to figure something out.

Do you have any idea how to turn OFF the pressure sensitivity in PS? I know I found it one day, but I can't for the life of me remember where.

... That would help my poor lineart a WHOLE lot...

Well yes, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa was just keen aside from the alignment issues. ;P

My version of OpenCanvas is old, which is why it is still of teh free. A search for the filename "oc11b71" came up with this in the first result: http://auroreblackcat.free.fr/tutorial/oc/oC11b71.exe

Do you have any idea how to turn OFF the pressure sensitivity in PS?

That depends somewhat on what version of PS you're using... In PS7, go to the Brushes tab in the top right of the screen. In PS6, I believe it's a checkbox at the top with the other Brush options. If you still can't find it, go dig through the Help file...

Muchos gracias~
