Description This took SOOOO long to make, even at one point, I got so frustrated that I just shut off my computer and went to lie down for the rest of the day.

Second scene: fav.me/dbbsmu6

Anyway, this is the first important scene for my characters official backstory.

In this scene, Ruby just horribly landed on other smaller planet. She had just escaped her home world in a spacecraft that was owned by her parents. Ruby had to survive on her own in this small, empty and unknown planet, the only issue is that she has no idea how to survive in the outside world. Not because she didn't have any survival skills, she has NEVER been outside in general. Note how she looks nervous as she looks around. She remained inside her ship for almost entire month.

I'll be doing the second important scene! Hope you guys liked this one!

Cool! I like the story so far. C:

And I can definitely relate to getting so frustrated that I just wanna quit everything and go and lie down. XD

Thank you!
Hahaha, yeah. It's no fun for sure, but it'll get practice in.
It's also good to take breaks too.

Oh wow! I can tell you put alot of time into this! The line-art is so well done and the colours you used really bring some of it out, especially the ship! Which by the way looks epic, like its from a comic cx The shading is amazing and isn't too overwhelming. Ruby's anatomy is well done as always and she really suits the situation at hand, (Although can't help but think shes saying "we're not in Kansas anymore") 
And again your description really gives it that little extra detail. cx

Thank you so much, Blue!
I find it funny how I didn't intend to make it look comic like, but I guess it does, haha!

The shading was such a drag for me, but I'm so glad you think it looks good!
Hahaha, love the Wizard of Oz reference!
Once again, thank you!

No problem
You took the time to draw, so least I could do is give a decent comment.
Haha it is pretty good, like the DC/Marval style. xD
I could tell it was getting to you, the background I always find so hard to shade, you did the right thing by giving it a day, it really helps to give it a break and it really paid off for you! I'm guessing this is the drawing you were asking for shading advise? 
Haha oh jeez I can just see it now, Dusk the scarecrow, Spike the Tin-man, not sure on the cowardly lion or toto |'D Sorry went too far
And once again no problem cx

That really means a lot!
Cool! Good to know I can do a comic style!
Hahaha! Yeah, I didn't think anyone would figure out the connection from my journal to my picture.
That was the reason I was asking for help. 
I can see it too! How funny!

RandomlyBlue In reply to RubyGCreator [2017-04-12 17:08:50 +0000 UTC]


And an epic comic style at that! You'd be able to pull off some really nice effects with that cx
Well when you said you needed to turn the system off I knew x'D Ah I wasn't sure what type of shading you meant, there so many  
Would it be okay if I drew that some time? I'd just love to see that image x'D

Thanks!
Yeah, there's tons of different ways to shade. It was hard for me to explain. That's why I was frustrated cuz I found so many shading tutorials but none that I wanted.
Haha! Sure! I don't mind.

RandomlyBlue In reply to RubyGCreator [2017-04-13 17:16:48 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes, I tend to do "lazy" shading where you go over the whole drawing with a colour and with a darker or/and lighter shade of that colour, can come out with pretty cool effects (For 3D types I tend to have two layers one blue the other red)
What shading did you use? If you don't mind me asking? xD
Great! Might be awhile, but who knows!

RubyGCreator In reply to RandomlyBlue [2017-04-13 23:21:35 +0000 UTC]

Oh? Really! I don't see how it's considered the lazy way?
Well, when I shade...I grab the color I'm going shade and use a darker version of the original color. I do the same with lighting too. Sometimes I use the effects bar, mostly for multiply or luminosity. Then, I use the blur tool for some parts.
It's fine. I can wait.

Well it isn't like cell shading were you have to make it "tidy" you simply shade a bit you want without worrying of messing up cx
Ohh so you go off your characters colours and darken it? I used to do that till I found easier ways :'D Another one is using black and lowing the opacity to what you like. Has some what the same effects as yours cx
I'm always using the settings of the layer, the amount of effects is shocking!
Ah great cx

RubyGCreator In reply to RandomlyBlue [2017-04-16 05:03:06 +0000 UTC]

I never understood what cell shading is really.
Yup! That's the way I shade!
I used to shade like that before.
Yeah! There's plenty of filters and effects!

RandomlyBlue In reply to RubyGCreator [2017-04-16 15:23:21 +0000 UTC]

Ah its pretty fun to do sometimes, basically you just don't use blur xD fav.me/db06epc This is what I'd class as cell shading cx (Probably better ways of explaining, sorry )
Must take you awhile to do so? I used to get so frustrated xD
So many ways to shade, so little time x'D
Indeed got to love them filters/effects!

Oh! Really! I had no idea I used cell shading!
Yeah, shading takes me a little longer.
Haha! That's true!

Nah, this looks so awesome, Ruby! I can't wait to see more like this! Looks like it came out from a comic book!
