Re: dba's not dead !

Hello dba
Good to see you're back into Verve :ob
Like you, Pilou and all the "frenchies" here i guess, i'm still crying after all these targeted murders including the beloved comic strip artists of my youth, Cabu and Wolinski.

:o :shock: Dba, your picture is really AWESOME!!! :bow:

I am looking to find the right words to describe the tragedy in France :( Very sad. I am afraid of the future. Europe is not so safe place as we can think and its "safe" borders are very thin.

Re: dba's not dead !

Hi guys,

another witch, much younger, colorfull and spicy. Some gipsy holly witch. I call it "La Santa Bruja"

First of all, I must confess I just used Verve here for the background and the smoky effects. Main picture was done on MangaStudio & Photoshop. :oops: Verve helped me to give the special mood I looked for. I know, it's bad not using Verve for all the process, kinda shamefull ! But, well, old habits ...

Ho, and the girl has a damn problem with her right hand but I leave it as it is, because how hard I try, I don't manage to draw it better. :PP

Re: dba's not dead !

Sometimes it's just the choice of perspective that we don't want to let go. I think you did a bang-up job with the hand and everything...well...except for not using Verve on her, hahaha! Again, I'm bothered that I didn't release a little temporary version, because I fixed up so much already in regards to drawing. But well...it'll come!
Thoughts on the pose of the hand: feels to me like there's too much tension where it shouldn't be for the expression of the hand. The thumb bends too much inwards, the three "fisting" fingers pushed together too hard and don't curl enough. Her left hand shows perfect relaxation and her face enough confidence to suggest she would point in a much more relaxed or natural fashion. Hard to tell, though.
Exciting dress, by the way! :D ...some very artistic design!

Re: dba's not dead !

Welcome back dba :D
I am really liking your witches. That first one is eerie and feels a bit like an old Eerie magazine cover. The second is lovely work all the way except as you say, the right hand. Taron is right. Relax that thumb and loosen the pose into more of a C and with the three fingers bring their tips out into a looser pose also to where we can see them. That should solve it.
Definitely sad what happened :( Violence is never a solution.

Re: dba's not dead !

Yes, exactly, both of you are correct. It's exactly what I wish, a more relaxed and natural hand. Not that nervous fist ... Not to mention its too masculine aspect ... I swear I tried ! Maybe I'll try again later.
Thx so much ! :)
