Edit - oops, I hope this didn't pop up in your inboxes again
Gold eyes, pale skin - what is this? Twilight?
Nope, it’s Lieutenant Commander Data who’s probably my favourite Star Trek character so far
Now who can tell which episode this outfit is from? I’ll give you a clue it’s S1 since that’s what I’m watching.And… I can’t believe I did realistic
Simply for the reason that he refused to convert to my anime style - it produced an effect which could be likened to a face-rape. Which would have been a shame since Brent Spiner’s face is so easy on the eye. Realistic-style was the only option -___-This took so long and it’s so… uncolourful! I couldn’t use all my anime tricks to make it shiny. I guess this style needs different tricks. Some feedback would be appreciated.

I could hardly believe this to be da-kasha art when I first saw it in my message centre... ("what kind of glitch is this? stupid dA...")
but, it is truly of the porridge. wow.
I love the eyebrows...
and actually, I doubt this actually needs any shinies or other gimmicks. in fact, I think it would benefit from just being darker and more toned-down...

YAY
darker? but it's already very dark on my monitor D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
... that means either my or your monitor is screwed up.
I opened dA on my new pc to find that my "nightfall" picture was ugly and far lighter and "Skater Casual" was desaturated and... also ugly.
fuuuuck. I think it's my monitor.

I wouldn't be surprised if my monitor wasn't showing everything correctly but it sounds like your one plain needs calibrating D: I'm sure there should be options somewhere....

Hmmm, I don't know what to say here, but I'll give it a go.
The stone-marble-ish colour of his face make it look like he's a sculpture. The lips too. But what makes him look real are the part below his eyes, the hint of a cheek fold in between. His nose looks really sculpted, in a good way. And everything looks very smooth.
The purple gives off a rather glowy effect amongst all the black, I suppose that's a good thing.
Ah well. That's all, I guess. Told cha I'm not good at it

Well, he is supposed to be inhumanly pale [link] but now you make me curious if I could pull off a normal person

You're welcome

Btw, awesome Herbert quote - is it from one of his books? I can't seem to remember reading it...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure! ^-^
Cool, you like Frank Herbert, too? I found this Herbert quote online somewhere. I think it might be from his Biography or something...

Read the Dune series up to God Emperor of Dune. Fantastic writer, fantastic series. Though the Dune books seem to have a way of petering out to less than satisfying endings
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh! Yeah, I loved Emperor of Dune, but never got through Heretics. It did peter-out to an unsatisfying ending kinda... But that's not true about the Brian Herbert ones. For instance, have you read Paul of Dune? It's soooooo amazing! Also, the Houses prequels are incredibly good. The writing quality is really high, but not quite as epic as Frank's originals. But still, you should definitely read them. They're super entertaining.

Well, I think all artist have this problem
But rest assured that this is very good^^

Yeah... it doesn't get in the way but it does make you worry you've wasted the last 10+ hours >.<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, not exactly wasted but that's very close
at least you can still count it to training or exercise...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True, true... it's just nice to come away with something at the end
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, who wouldn't like to see that all the work was worth it^^
But being unsatisfied with your own work keeps you trying harder.
