I'm trying to figure out how the hell spam made it into my professional email account. I've been invited to join BurmeseX. Um, huh?

That's a sign of hacking. Someone who had your email address in their records probably got a virus, and the virus transmitted the information to somebody. Not much you can do about it, since this variety of illegal spamming ignores the laws about opt-out procedures.

Well, I finally started on Warrior Kara's illustration. The drawing process was slow and difficult because I just couldn't draw comfortably with everyone around me making a mess, cats included.

Once that was done, I finally started getting things done. Now, coloring comes as the next step. In comparison to the Alys illustration I did before, this one is much, MUCH harder. Simple reason being that I forgot my rule of going the simplistic way and add as little detail as possible... I added quite some detail and as a result, the redrawing process in Photoshop is going to be slow and grueling... But as a reward, the final product should look much better than usual. I'll have to consider whether to go with gradients or a typical cel coloring like anime... Cel is easier, but for some reason, I always end up coloring like it was an ero illustration. In my defense, though, I have to say that the best coloring in computer is usually achieved by none other than ero illustrators... Hence the influence...

EDIT: Screw thinking. Tanith! Should I go the cel route, or the gradient route?

EDIT 2: I have finally remembered that when working on a character, a tool I use for working easier and faster, especially if the illustration is difficult, is to listen to a piece of music that evokes the image of that character. For some reason, Warrior Kara's image goes with this music:

I imagine her as a fierce, agile combatant that goes for speed based attacks, as well as vicious tactics against the enemy.

Update: I finished the cleanup job. Since it was a pencil work, it looked dirty, especially after I boosted the base resolution. I'll work with colors tomorrow. But for now, games... for a bit.

I just watched the movie Machete. It was AWESOME. Now I'm waiting for Machete Kills, and hopefully Machete Kills Again.

Danny Trejo is awesome.
