Thanks for the compliments everyone! Always a big boost for me.

Yeah, loved Braveheart, it's an inspiring movie in some ways, but horrendously tragic. Poor Mel...

I did this drawing in hard copy for a good friend who is also into Leo big time and things Scottish. She did a Duncan MacLeo piece that I'm trying to convince her to put back up...

Trouble is, .[whine]. My digital tablet is wearing out and doesn't work so well any more. It's hooked up to my old system that has the scanner on it. I need to get another one for this new machine, but the one I want is pretty expensive, and they're going to flippin' TRIPLE the yearly vehicle registration fee here in CA because the government seems to have messed up, prices are going up all over.... argh....[/whine].

Okay! I'm fine, now.

But that is why I have to do the piece all on paper first and then scan it rather than sketch it and finish it in Photoshop. Can't control the digital pen so well any more.
BTW, I drew this about 14 times before I got it the way I wanted it. Thats why I like to use cheap printer paper. I have a box full of reams of it, so I can just draw away, and then grab a another sheet, draw... no erasing. Erasing is distracting. Dunno, maybe I should mention this in the tutorial thread? Would that be helpful for anyone? Heck, I'm always wanting to know what other artists do...

Sorry, just had coffee, a bit chatty at the moment...

**HorseTechie** · 06-26-2003, 09:40 AM

Whaaaa-haaaaa-wow! That's a cool work of art indeed, Aig. And despite the title in the file name, the first thing I thought of was Leo's MacLeo character too.

Nonetheless, I love the idea, since I also like Braveheart. The details in the plaid kilt and the sword, is cool too!

As far as the drawing tablet goes.... well, join the rest of us, who still have to draw on paper, scan, and then PS color. I have heard many thing about those Wacom tablets, but I have yet to invest in one myself.

Aignatius · 06-26-2003, 12:25 PM

My current one is a Kurta 5X7 but I guess they don't make that kind any more. I'm now looking at the Wacom Intuos line...

I had to have one for the illustration work I did over the years.
It used to be clicking one pixel at a time with a mouse. I used to make my sprites that way, but was quite time consuming. With a dig. pen and tablet, it's like painting with real materials... *stifles whimper while looking at Intuos package*

*Skeletoncrew* · 06-26-2003, 02:35 PM

By God! I love a man in a kilt!

Excellent work Aig!

Ha! I was *waiting* for somebody to say that...

*Skeletoncrew* · 06-26-2003, 05:43 PM

I've got a thing for men in kilts. I think they are totally sexy and I'd love to get my hands on a man in a kilt some day.

Incidentally, I've always thought Splinter would like kilts. If he's an intact male rat (admittedly, in the cartoons you never see anything so he COULD be neutered), then he probably has proportionally sized rat bits. (Ever seen a male rat? They've got CAJONES. BIG cajones.) He would not be into wearing tight pants. I think he'd like the freedom and modesty offered by a good kilt. At least, a kilt would be more modest than the short robes he's always wearing in the cartoons.

*Kameko* · 06-26-2003, 06:36 PM

I never thought of that, SC.

**Nturtle** · 06-26-2003, 06:55 PM

She did her research...

*Skeletoncrew* · 06-26-2003, 11:11 PM

I used to own 21 rats. Approximately half were male. So yeah, I have a bit of first hand experience with rat anatomy.

The 7th Turtle · 06-27-2003, 09:35 AM

on topic: i've drawn a pic (which i think is good, but that's my stupid view) of a turtle in the Ice Age... but i haven't got a scanner so i'll have to wait until i'll go to my friend who has one. plus, i don't have any website to store the pic...

Once you got it scanned set up an account at www.picturetrail.com and then you can host it there and then upload the picture and move it to the album of choice and then right click on the image properties and get the link and post it here. Can't wait to see the tmnt in the ice ages.

**HorseTechie** · 06-27-2003, 02:57 PM

You know, I have heard that Picture Trail will suddenly delete files if you use too much of their space and remote linking.

A pretty good art sight I've heard about is DeviantART. http://www.deviantart.com/

**Nturtle** · 06-27-2003, 04:16 PM

Or make an account on Angelfire

The 7th Turtle · 06-28-2003, 05:38 AM

I'll try the www.picturetrail.com... i'm not very good in HTML so AngelFire isn't going to work
thanks anyway

The 7th Turtle · 06-28-2003, 06:03 AM

ok, so here's my pic, a turtle in the Ice Age! it's not funny, it's baddly drawn, and it's too stupid to look at. please don't laugh at ME so hurd...

**Nturtle** · 06-28-2003, 07:28 AM

I like it!!!

Loolaa · 06-28-2003, 09:20 AM

I love the ice age pic, the turtle's expression is priceless!

And wow... speechless at Aig's art as usual...

Here is my contribution, it's just a quick doodle as I haven't been able to find time. It was supposed to be a victorian turtle... but it kind of came of like the artful dodger in Oliver Twist.. more of a turtle in a book than turtle in history...

He's kind of creepy looking, too....
