I see you're dealing in light colours these days?
I think I prefer it when you' re working with darker colors, like your ''Hulda'' or ''turtle swim'', but still good stuff. Btw your waterdragon was awesome too

DarkPistachio In reply to thomasdrewsen [2012-02-10 21:57:15 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. Well, I went through a small watercolour phase back around November-December last year. Back in the digital space now with the latest contract, and (therefore) a lot denser colours. Going to post up something soon.

Thanks for stopping by!

thomasdrewsen In reply to DarkPistachio [2012-02-12 10:49:03 +0000 UTC]

Okay. Looking forward to seeing those then. Still I'm sure there are things to be learned from phases like that, too :-) (Smile)

I really liked your Hulda, and would love to see more in that kind of 18 hundreds romantic style, in your modern versions

DarkPistachio In reply to thomasdrewsen [2012-02-20 04:22:44 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, glad you liked that style. I would like to return to that with some personal work... should be done with this latest contract in a month or so and will start playing around again.

thanks for faving my PaiSho board

DarkPistachio In reply to scarletcougar [2012-01-09 06:26:08 +0000 UTC]

Most welcome, it looks like really nice work.

I wish someone would license the game already so we can all play it without 100 hrs of work and 5 different rules versions.

But, like Iroh, I will reflectively sip my tea and consider the benefits I am gaining from not playing Pai Sho. Whatever those benefits are...

scarletcougar In reply to DarkPistachio [2012-01-09 14:57:12 +0000 UTC]

Or... create your own rules and teach a friend.

I'm not exactly swamped They're all out to get me... just a chronic procrastinator and as easily distracted as a concussed kitten. I do usually visit my message center every day and enjoy reading any new comments, and then thinking about how to respond to it...and then I get an idea or I want to check something out, of start feeling peckish. My brain basically goes Squirrel! and before I know it the messages have piled up and i shave off the most recent ones, before going Squirrel! and find the old getting older. And knowing this you'd think i'd have the sense to start at the beginning. I think I must make it a new years resolution :shifty:

Having just browsed your gallery a bit, I take that as a big compliment!
Character development is something I could (and probably should) work a lot more on. But it's an interesting task... I guess one of the things I really should give more attention is thumbnails
