Description
Well underdone and well overdue, here is my Christmas gift to my Secret Santa gift reciever, *dark-reign . Yes, I said Christmas. In July. Six months overdue....Dark, if you don't utterly disdain me for this, I will loose my mind from the sheer confusion.
So Merry late/early Christmas (it's all how you look at it)! I am terribly sorry for it taking so long. I haven't done anything else besides this, but regardless, I have been so boggled down with other priorities that I never got the chance to finish until now. Yeah, I know, excuses, excuses.
I don't want to talk about the picture except for this: it's pretty sad when you can't even draw like you used to- even if how you used to draw was bad enough. Look at my lame attempt at snow and icicles!
Oh and the new dA submiting system is a loser. The background once again has been ruined becauce I can't use transparency.

Indeed it has. XD But when you've owed someone a piece of work BACK during Christmas and you finish in July... well... It's not a good thing. :\

You have a thing for transparent backgrounds, don't you? XD
I have seen every possible wip of this for ages. It's so lovely to see the finished product! You have a ton- no, two tons- of patience. It's amazing, I admire you so much! :3
Fantastic details on everything. You know I love it. :{

Yeah.. I've always had this.... admiration, if you will, for well made transparencies.
You're on! Does that possibly mean that the problem with your computer is finally resolved?
Haha, actually it isn't patience that got this done- it was the fact that I've owed this to someone since last December. D: But I really do thank you and appreciate it. It means a lot to hear that from you.

And the character is pretty cool.. I love the scarf blowin' in the wind. It's a nice touch. It's making me cold!
I'm sure they'll be like "OH HEY WHOA CHRISTMAS PRESENTTTT."

Aw, thanks Neam. I really appreciate it. I know I can do better (seeing as how this is so old) so I've really got to get everything in gear and get more things on here. Once again, I really appreciate it.
It made you cold? X]

Thanks and your welcome! hahaha. I'm sure that's exactly what my reaction would be, though. And it made me cold because it made me think about icy wind and snow and winter.. which is cold. x3 hee.

Yes! My door bell rings and I answer to a USP guy and he hands me the box. I yell, "MY SNOW CAME!" then he looks at me a slowly walks away. I open it and find it all melted and I yell, "....... I ORDERED URINE LAST WEEK." D:<

Thank you Izzy for the compliment and the wake up call.
You're right, I might be in a bad place with drawing but I'll get out of it.
Just takes more practice (of which before I didn't do).

No way, I completely envy your coloring skills. I would be so much better off if I could color like you. We can always get better, no matter what, but even with where you are, you are extremely talented.

I don't know... This whole new submitting system is horrible and it wont allow me to post a preview image.... Or maybe I'm just stupid and can't figure that out.
Anyway, thank you Sakura! I'm really glad you like it. I think it's sad though because I spent a lot of time on the background, putting in small details, but you can't see any of the work I put into it because I forgot how small it really was...

sakura-aniki In reply to ElectricEidolon [2007-07-06 17:55:24 +0000 UTC]
oh hmmmm didn't try it cuz I don't usually make transparent backgrounds but have you tried saving the file as a png after making the background transparent? submitting a png should make DA request a preview image or if it doesn't then I think the pic will still show without the background
I don't know for sure but you should try it ^^
I know it hurts when you work hard on details that don't even appear cuz of the size of the image

ElectricEidolon In reply to sakura-aniki [2007-07-06 18:28:15 +0000 UTC]
Yeah I submitted it as a .png but it never gave the option. AND when I looked at it after submitting it the first time in my scraps, it gave this really ugly gray/black background instead of transparency. D: I don't know why it won't work, I even uploaded a small .gif with this one to use as a preview but it never gave the option.
:[ Yeah, I agree. But thank you.

the background is transparent only when you full-view ...in the preview image it looks black/grey

I know.. But it still doesn't explain why it wouldn't even give me a full-view option. X_X;; Basically you see what I saw, now, except I put that greenish color in the background. There's no full-view option at all. D:

Hm, so if I made it bigger, I could get a preview image and it would be transparent when full-viewed? :]

yup yup bigger than 400 pixels and saved as a .png file ^^
a preview image I dunno but the background surely will be transparent when you full view

D: I want to see your art! You need to submit- if for any other reason, submit for me! I mean in the sense that I want to see it- not that I want you to draw me something.
It sounded weird when I re-read it. Anyway, draw like the wind!
