And I can't draw ponies...or horses, or unicorns, sorry, used to be able to but evil SQA portfolio ate my talent for horses and I have not been able to draw a single one since then.

I mean they all follow a kind of theme. Id love to see something completely different.

Scellanis · 20th October 2006, 10:26pm

Well they are kind of a set of dragons...and there is a very definate set of frogs...

If left to my own devices I will mostly sit there and redo what I've done before with a new theme...ToxicBlackHerion becomes a jester...or a pirate...or a dark dragon. I use the one dragon as a base to change details, they end up as a series. I happen to like them quite alot hence why I draw them so much but the cave dragon I thought was different.

The rest of the problem is my inability to draw backgrounds so they are all just character designs instead of proper pictures, I have the patience to draw all those scales but I can't sit down and draw a background ever....unless I have a photo to copy and I don't because I am crap at photography and copying anyone else's (stock photographs) is bad if I want to submit it to elfwood.

Its apparently art theft to draw a stock image even if you have written permision...but photomanipulators can use stock images...I never do get that elfwood rule.

I like the frogs best - whats the difference between lustre prints and glossy prints?

Scellanis · 10th November 2006, 2:36pm

Glossy is shiny like photos, matte is that rough stuff and lustre is supposed to be somewhere inbetween...not quite sure myself without buying one of each and seeing for myself but I don't have the money to do that.

Personally I think I'd buy matte or lustre.

I beleive 'lustre' is like a sheen, but not 'shiney' if that makes sense.

Rhythm Junkie · 10th November 2006, 3:31pm

I think i'd go with matte too

Scellanis · 10th November 2006, 6:22pm

Hey Scellanis I love your dragon designs and your art, is cafepress working for you?
I've only just started.

Scellanis · 11th November 2006, 11:08pm

Thank you! I haven't been to cafepress since easter, I was looking today but I couldn't remember my password and couldn't be bothered to go look for it, I shall probably do a huge update at some stage though....

I have sold a few things recently but I need to update for Christmas, wont sell many Easter cards this time of year...hehehe

demonic666 · 11th November 2006, 11:15pm

I havent sold a thing yet but still trying the old marketing bollocks, it's like flogging a dead sack (santas sack ho ho ho!)

Scellanis · 11th November 2006, 11:34pm

I haven't sold much, had a few random sales and some through affiliates...couple of friends but mostly me or my family.
