So apparently, Elwe has attempted to create art. =O I salvaged the pieces that weren't so terrible they ended up spontaneously combusting. XD Enjoy~

Here are 2 PREHISTORIC ones: =D

Need to work on the face! I was totally concentrating on the dress...

And for some newer ones:

It's been scanner-wonked, but whatever. (Don't buy $40-scanners!) I tried fixing it in Photoshop, but it didn't get much better. =[

Second sorta old one:

Paine from FF-X2. Sorta. Her face got...uh...run over by a gopher. Oops! The actual drawing is much darker, too. Again, scanner death, but that doesn't explain the terrible face. XD

Other sorta-old one:

Robin's a tad grumpy. ;__;

I painted this banner for my AIM page, which I ditched after, like, a week. XD

And my latest work (bits and pieces, at least. I can't find the full one, but I'll get to it eventually! It's probably in some random folder, as I never seem to save things in the right places...)
Oil pastels + Photoshop

ZOMG!! minique_7 loves.
I LOVE the dress on your first picture. It's so beautiful!!

I'm excited to see the end product of that cute lidol animal one.

Impressive, i like how you pay attention to the detail in your drawings especially in the first one. GOOD JOB!

Nice drawings, very beautiful.

I've actually gotten into Photography so my visual arts are good (along with sig making/photomanips too).

You're very talented! My favorite is the headshot of the girl ^_^

HYAAAA!!!!MY BUDDIES ARE SO GOOD IN THE DRAWING!!!!
i wish i can be as good as you elwe....:sweat:
:3 your drawings!

Pretty good, luvs your shading. I know the first one is old, but just for the record, the girl kinda looks like she has a beard, no offense, just wanted to point that out. And her hips look kinda too pudgy.

oh....i can't see them....stupid computer....

Thanks for the comments, everyone! Individual comments about the comments can be found in the following spoiler: =D
Minique - Thanks! =D Haha, I dunno if I'm gonna finish that panda, though!

pixiepieberry - Thanks! Although I tend to pay much more attention to clothing details than facial details, as evidenced by the terrible faces. XD

Mazeppa - Photography? Cool! I'd like to see some of this stuff... *checks to see if thead exists*

Reina - Thanks! Headshot? Robin?
kitty9 - Thanky! *hands over some butterscotch* =D

Crimson - Thanks! Haha, yeah, you're right about the beard part. XD

Mistrust - =[ I hope it's not because my bloody files are too gianormous...


I'd love to get into photography, but I don't gave a digital camera or anything. But that doesn't prevent me from taking pictures. Haha! Anyways, here are some piccys I took during the medicine forum I was at a few weeks ago.

These are heavily Photoshop'd, thanks to my awesome Walgreens disposable camera (so bear with me!) and my free-after-mail-in-rebate scanner that doesn't seem to like picking up colors. XD

So I guess I can categorize the following pieces as photo-manip/photography? Maybe? Ah, whatever. =D Critique away!

My new profile piccy. XD

Sorry about the microscopic dimensions. =[
Also, I'll post up the original scanned versions for comparison and evaluation as soon as I get access to the old computer, which is the one with all my raw scanner files. =D

Wow... The detail on the Lulu picture is amazing. The face could use a little work, but the clothing is really good. Good job.
