Tox's Tattoo ContestWelcome to Tox's Tattoo Contest!
This is a personal contest I'm holding to find a tattoo design that my Yautja character, Tox, can wear. A lot has changed for him and he needs a little more change, what could be better than getting a tattoo?
Your inspiration:

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's tattoo.
What I'm looking for: something tribal, something primal, yet something that still reflects the Yautja culture.
The prize: Your tattoo will forever be my character, Tox's, tattoo and you will receive credit every time I draw him with it. The tattoo will also be featured in my upcoming fanfic, "Our Revenge". For something more tangible I will make a free commission for the winner.
I made a template to help those who don't want to draw a body to go along with the tattoo:
Guidelines:

Be mindful of his spots! They are nearly black.

The tattoo must be as large as the red area but can be as large as the blue.

The tantalizing scent of sweets; it coated the air, busily marching through the atmosphere, to gently tickle the senses. It was the distinct fragrance of jovial leisure, a bouquet that could only be associated with the palette pleasures of gooey, decadent, and chocolaty collections of treats; the tang of shaved ice, a savory bundle of fresh cut fries, the steamy sizzle of hot dogs. Throughout the corridors, and decorating the yard of the Sol facility, a motley of entertainment treasures were spread; each, designated for the fancy and individual penchants of the adjoining organizations. Anime, comics, video games -- cosplay, tournaments, oh my! In the crowd laughter danced above the roar of small talk, and zigzagging through the taller individuals, the younger members skipped and danced through the masses, to the beat of th

Common Names of Yoryyntel and GuarmiHi! Sorry for the delay, here's those names and patterns I promised. =v=;/
You're welcome to ignore these guidelines too, but it would be nice if your character's name wasn't like...Christopher Smith or Jane Ramirez, things like that salkdjf
If you'd like a translation of a specific word, please let me know and I'll be happy to provide it to you.
Yoryyn_________________________
Yoryyn names are loosely based on common names of existing tribes, as well as the Assanna language. Very few names are strictly for one gender or the other, though some customs follow the rule of adding [-os] for a boy ad [-ul ] for a girl.
Shamans___
Shaman names usually have a "y" within them, in either their first or last name. This is not always the case, but is a common occurrence. The letter "y" is related to trees and spirits, thus the continuing motif. Last names are often hyphenated or two names and sometimes incorporate the use of apostrophes. The suffix "Sha" can be added to change t

On character designYo!
I've had a few people ask me to make tutorials on character design, but I'll be honest:
For me character design isn't entirely an artistic thing. It combines some of my stronger ideals with artistic taste.
This makes it sort of odd to just make "a tutorial" on how to do it, as there's a lot more to it than just the art.
I'll summarise the artistic part in short: Almost any good quality character design tutorial will most likely go into things
like silhouettes, body shape, how to stylize, unique faces/facial features. If you really desperately want information on that
it's out there, google and/or the search tool are your friend.
For me I'll talk exclusively about how I try to design my own characters (mostly in my comics)
from a more philosophic standpoint, rather than just "this is how you do the arts".
I'll divide it by general areas,
This journal's subject shall be:

Michael Eisner: life & death of 2-D animationI was going to make this into a youtube video, but I just don't have the motivation to actually complete it. After doing a documentary on the history of Cel animation I thought it would be neat to tackle the death of 2-D animation in America, since I know a lot of people don't really understand how or why it all happened. This is a very condensed version of the past 20 years, most facts taken directly from Roy Disney's "Save Disney" website and the "Art of Animation" by Bob Thomas. I did my best to make sure all the facts listed below are as accurate as I can make them. This is a LONG post, but I think it's worth reading. I had to change a few words here and there to make it sound more like a journal instead of text being read for a video. It should also be noted that it primarily concerns ONLY mainstream American animation. ENJOY!

I keep hearing people talking about Disney's role in the death of 2-D animation, but few seem to be clear on details. So for the purposes of this journ

You all know that a lot of us, webcomicers, are putting everything on the line for this labor of love and that we make money off books (for those who are fortunate enough, thank God), merchandise, commissions and out appearances in conventions.

Stars Tutorial

Journal Entry: Tue May 15, 2012, 4:30 AM

Yup yup, new tutorial from me. Link to it on my website:

I'll eventually make DA-compatible version of it, but that will have to wait. I can't exactly use the same kind of layout format as with my previous tutorials, as this one has waaaay too varying kinds of images to fit into a mold like that and still look good. And holy moly, that's a lot of text! Took me several hours to write! But at least I've explained things by depth, hrrmh. o_o

Indeed, I drew that image over a month ago, and I've had the all the necessary pieces of the tutorial lying around, ready to be tutorialized, ever since. But with everything else going on it had to wait. But now the tutorial is done and I'm going to have some icecream! And then it's time to draw yet another comic page...

~

Which leads me to this: Eeee! I can't believe the cover page for the prologue chapter got a DD! I'm so happy! I've been smiling so bad that my whole face hurts. When I logged in to post this journal and saw my message box all filled up with stuff I was like "Huh? I didn't submit anything yesterday? Damnit, stupid message centre malfunctioning again!" and then I was like: that one picture of the while gorilla going "LOL!". Except in a dumb, giggly way. xB

By the way, you made me curious, so I found out what the difference between fill and opacity is. [link] Basically, opacity affects everything, including your layer effects, while fill leaves your layer effects (outer glow, for example

) alone, and just affects the transparency of the object itself.
love your starfield btw
