A word to from the wise, or to the wise.
Nigellashade onDearest DD Community… It's Nigellashade.
Usualy I do bring a page fully colored. But cause of my daily life taking time away my personal passion, I'm updating a non-colored page.
Cause of too much time drawing ,and re-drawing backgrounds.. it's the most time consuming part, of an artists creative view.
However this page is different from the rest, the background was actually done in 3d.
I do have the scene in full colored skinned, but because my comp can only handle so much render power.. I can only take a simple camera view screenshot.
I take the render shot and then use photoshop, to only focus on the outlines of the structures.
To make a 3d render look like a sketch effect.
The origional sketch look (without the characters added).. I saw the reflect off the polished counters.
(But your unable to see it in this page) ^o^;;
However everything was drawn, way before the 3d re-creation was done.
Actually it was better to create a angle I would have difficulty drawing from different views.
As for character modeling *which I was doing on a side, for a project for someone I knew*..
I really don't have the funding to fully render a character. My computer would crash if I tried to render a high resolution version of my creations.
*That's with skins, and Maya hair*
~~~~~~~~
So here you go, hope you like this update. And love and *Angelic Hugs* to all of you.
And to my lovely editor and friend, Jen. We admire, and adore you so much.
You've been there for me & my family, Thank you so much for seeing it through.
Have a lovely evening.. ^__^

Hey Nigellashade! Long time no see. I read your last update and I'm sorry for what you are going through. I sometimes want to move to Albert because the pay is higher in my job field (early childhood teacher) but I have heard that the cost of living is horrible, and now I see it from your experiences. I hope things get easier for you and your family. I love your new page and its really interesting to find out that you use 3d rendering. I never knew that! I just brought my poor comic back too. Its been awhile. Take care :)

Your art has improved greatly! Not only the backgrounds, but also the natural feel of the way the characters move. Well done, welcome back, and lots of energy to keep up your fight from me :)
