In the last week, re-watched 1 - 9 of Ouran High School Host Club, Bleach 104, Death Note 7, all of Paradise Kiss, Black Lagoon S1 eps 1 - 6, Mai HiME 1 - 8 and the first episodes of Code Geass and Black Blood Brothers. And really enjoying all of them right now, though I get the suspicion I'm...

Have got an Intuos3, the oversized A5 one. Cost me just over £200, but it's a wonderful tablet. I've heard good things about the Graphire ones, too, but if you've got the money then I'd go for the best you can afford. As for tips using Photoshop, check out the tutorials on deviantart. They...

Aaah. Thanks. Though I stopped for a long while. Have been settling into university, cursing the workload, and generally forgetting to cook for the last few months. They have a nice little anime club though... Just started drawing again, though I'm now learning a new version of Photoshop...

I only got into this recently, but very quickly became hooked. Although, like many people, I'm looking forward to the end of the filler arc, and it starts back on the manga storylines. :D

Hear hear. It takes a lot of guts to post a picture for others to criticise, no matter how advanced or not you may be (I have friends who are professional illustrators...), and to post up a first picture... It took me ages before I managed to pluck up the courage, and I was delighted by...

Up until now I've generally been checking out the anime first, but that's more due to the fact that I can rent DVDs, but I have to buy the manga (my local library doesn't really stock any). I have been let down a couple of times by this now, though. Most strikingly is Peacemaker, the first...

A good graphics tablet is quite expensive, I've just ordered myself a Wacom Intuos3 A5, costing £230 odd from Amazon. It's very much a case of you get what you pay for though, and always worth buying the best you can afford. I don't know about other brands, but Wacom are very good (they have...

Thanks for saying my pic is impressive. :oops: I currently use Photoshop 6, though I'm planning on upgrading to CS2 soon. Since Photoshop Elements is a cut down version of Photoshop, and appears to be geared more towards the photo editing side of things, it may not have all the tools you...

I'm another person who likes to use mechanical pencils. As far as I'm concerned, the biggest advantage is that they don't go blunt, so you never end up with a messy, thick line. I tend to use H or 2H leads, since they give a much finer line. As for erasers, a putty rubber is always a good...

A great first job, and well done on getting a furry look! :D One thing I've noticed is that the ink lines seem to be blurred in the final version. I'm guessing that you used the smudge tool to get the furry look, and that it was all done on one layer, yes? In which case, it would be worth...

Those are all so wonderfully bright and lively. I particularly like the pastel effect in the one of Aeris. :) It's nice to see someone who can produce such a variety of styles, too. Can't wait to see more.

That last one is really cute. :) I do like the way you've been drawing eyes recently too, nice and unique. Can't wait to see the puppy coloured!

Well, I never ran off.. :wink: I've just been too ill / stressed / busy to do much in recent months. :? And soon I'm going to have to sort out moving to uni, so I won't be able to do much then either! :cry: Just finished the latest one, went for something more simple this time...

Okay... Been unable to draw for a good while, but I've finally finished colouring my last lineart (something to do with it being the school holidays, I think :? ) http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/37230750/ This was the second attempt at colouring it, and the first piece where I'm kinda...

:? Where did you hear this...? I got a little annoyed when I first read this, thinking it would be sooo much hassle to get my manga now. But I went and looked at the site anyway, expecting to see a big notice or something announcing this. Couldn't find anything anywhere, inclusing the...
