-- I appreciate every comment posted on my profile. Unfortunately I cannot respond to each comment. Thank you so much for stopping by! :hug: And your work deserved the fave :heart: --

Hai there! My name is Melodie/Mellow-D. (I prefer if anyone didn't call me by my deviant username, it's quite old). I've been drawing since I could remember. In my 1st grade report card my teacher put down "is artistic" and its followed me ever since.

I've overcome many doldrums in my years. I just battled my hopefully last one earlier this year. I've had many distractions that took me away from my art, World of warcraft would be one of them. (Yes I am a survivor!) So now I am taking my art seriously finally, but I'm wayyy behind on it. =/

I am currently in a community college and I am a bit behind because of my stupid doldrum. D:< After I finish my generals I am going to transfer to Academy of Art of San Fransisco (if you know if a better illustration school in the Bay Area/San Fran, please let me know! :heart:)

Thank you for stopping by! :hug:

Hello my lovely friends :heart:

Digital painting


I want to try doing some digital paintings with photoshop and was wondering if anyone could recommend a great tutorial or some drawing brush tips. I've been using photoshop for 10 years so I know my way around it pretty well. I have PS7 and PS CS4 at my disposal plus a Wacom tablet that I've had for 4 years. I've been doodling in it since last night when I installed my tablet driver and transfered PS from my old laptop but I can't seem to get the hang of it.

I've watched some progress videos on youtube and alike but they work so fast and speed up the video I cannot really tell what they are doing *_*;;

Poll


I have a question for all my followers: I want to know if anyone likes or dislikes the direction my artwork is going. That means if you like my older works that I did last year compared to the ones I've been chalking out this year. I'm only curious because I do not want to loose any followers due to this change. I only want to learn digital painting because I want to do some gaming fanart and I love how the digital paintings turn out. The poll was asked on my facebook page here. If that link doesn't work you can visit my facebook page spash and on the left side click the link [Questions].

I'm very optimistic so I made the options very optimistic ^^

Shadowness


I finally got a Shadowness account a few weeks back and I am loving the community. :heart: There are so many kind people there. I think I've already found most of my favorite artists here on deviantart on there and started /following them. My painting Wish You Were Here was awarded with a Daily Feature too! :boogie:

Are there any other art communities I am missing out on?

Thought you might be interested in my ongoing feature:

If you like my work feel free to take a look in my gallery and add me to your deviant-watch IF you like what you see. Every 1000th favourite total in my gallery wins an original sketch-card request, but only my watchers are able to acquire one, since you need to see my journals and react quickly

If not just ignore this :)
Anyway thanks again and hope to see you around :)

I think I found it when I was looking at Torian Cadera romance videos- I have no willpower when it comes to SWTOR spoilers, especially the romance ones :iconquadruplefacepalmplz: I'm surprised I haven't looked up the Aric Jorgan romance spoilers yet ._.
Wow, 5 hours for one video? :icondafuqplz:
And I don't know about you, but it takes me a long time to think of names for my characters, I don't wanna choose a name I regret 10 levels later >.<
