[bowaZi]

she looks pretty good..except for her hips and thighs..

they seem kind of wide to me.

other than that, nice work.

[bowaZi]

yeah i seem to have a tendency for doing that ... i guess i like big butts too

[Tushae]

oooo, nice. Tho if thats going to be on the top screen, wouldnt you want a landscape picture so it fits to the screen better . I odnt have a DS so i dunno maybe it'll be fine. But again i like the sketch.

[Mad Clipper]

It looks good but I dont understand what it has to with a DS.

Pirate nude women, much better :lol:

[Akro]

[Tushae]

[Akro]

o_O

What program do you use to color? >.>;

[bowaZi]

i be using paintarrrrr ... 9

[Mad Clipper]

well...I guess I'll just have to see it when its finished to unstand it.

[bowaZi]

it's going to be a skin for my ds lite, skins are like stickers that cover something

[LC3]

WOW! That's nice!! Is it an original character or fanart?

[bowaZi]

original character

btw i learned from experience that lightning hates me ... or at least various parts of my pc (the expensive ones)

base colors done !

made a red overlay to bring it together a bit but i accidentally put red on the grey metal bindings on the top and bottom (thus the pinkness)

and i really ... really didn't want to hand-draw those wooden planks thus filters

now that this is done i gotta do the hard part ... i usually paint over the entire drawing to get rid of most of the black lines, gives it that painted look, also gives me an opportunity to fix a lot of mistakes (especially in lineart)

why is the tip orange ? well with most styluses (that are usually black but i'll fix that later) the contrast helps you place the stylus easier on a touch screen

It's lookin' good. You're making me want to make a skin for my clunky DS...

[Dij]

Wicked! Shes too good!! The proportions are PERFECT! (I like big butts!) Pirate Girl Ahoy!!

[RapCloudStrife]

they seem kind of wide to me.

other than that, nice work.

<333i want to be able to draw my girls like this one day.

I like drawing my girls with exaggerated hips and thighs too. <3It makes them more feminine, I think.
