Art Dump

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Most of this stuff was inspired by the suggestions I was given in my last post. Funnily enough, none of it is Jooster this time.


I just learned how to use the pen tool, so now I can finally make halfway decent lineart on the computer without a tablet. :D


*wonders why she can't show Bertie half this much affection*

Dahlia's just chillin', probably thinking of some horrible task for Bertie to perform.


Gussie gives such romantic presents. I'm sure Emerald knows she's one lucky lady.


Someone requested portraits, and I thought of putting up some of my sketches. So here are some of my more successful attempts to get Jeeves and Bertie's faces right.


This last one was based off one of the sketches in the above picture. If his eyes seem a tad wonky, just remember I'm very new to the pen tool. ;) I did fix them as best I could. (Hopefully this is one of those times where I'm the only one who notices a problem.)

I like! I like all the pictures a lot actually.

Dalia has to be my favorite of the women, just because she looks like she hunted and was very active at one point, but she's still a very good looking woman - also I love that shade of green.

And your idea of what Bertie looks like is really growing on me.

I can't even see what you're talking about in that last portrait of Jeeves, but think he looks good. :D

Thanks! I tried to make Dahlia look like she had a ruddy complexion and not just that she was blushing, so I'm glad it seems to have had that effect for you.

I'm also glad about Jeeves not looking weird to you. I guess it's one of those things where my spending hours working on a picture makes me notice little things about it that nobody else sees.

Jeeves in panel 2 of your portrait sketches:

"And not a single fuck, sir, will be given today."

LOL! I'd pay to hear him actually say that. XD

Very impressive, I'm a klutz with the pen tool! I especially love the Aunt Agatha picture XD

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I never even knew what that tool was for till a few days ago. I'd try selecting an area with it and then not have a clue what it was supposed to do next.

Eeee, so awesome! I'm delighted to see so many of the secondary characters represented. I love your Gussie and Emerald in particular. Awww, she appreciates his newts!

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I thought it was long past time to give some love to the secondary characters. :)

[tekiclutch.livejournal.com]

XD I really like your cartooning style. The expressions are great!

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[storyfan.livejournal.com]

These are wonderful. I especially like Gussie and Emerald, as well as the expression on Aunt Dahlia's face.

Thanks for posting these!

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

these are absolutely charming and you capture the 20s-30s look beautifully.

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It can be kind of hard to find a good balance between my own style and that of the 20s-30s, but I'm happy you like the results. :)

OMG Gussie and Emerald are SO FUCKING ADORABLE! *squeeee!*

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

[lepidoctor.livejournal.com]

How do you make the pen tool lineart do that tapered thing? I can never get it to do that!

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

I learned how from this (http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=paths+tutorial#/d2i47t3) tutorial, which is for GIMP This (http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/171/6/5/Pen_Tool_Tutorial___30K_Views_by_Popo_Licious.gif) one's for Photoshop, if that's what you have.

adding to the Gussie-Emerald love. :g:

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[feanix.livejournal.com]

I am deeply, deeply in love with your sketches of Bertie and Jeeves. Truly.

And your Gussie is lovely <3

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I suppose I ought to post sketches more often. :)

[emeraldreeve.livejournal.com]

How wonderful! I really like Dahlia's colour... the red in the cheeks and such, just as Bertie described her. I love the expression on Emerald's face and her dress. They're all awesome!

[ironicbees.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

I meant to comment on these days ago. As always, your art is fabulous! I love the sketches of Bertie and Jeeves, and Gussie and Emerald are simply adorable.
