Description Probably this won't look any good unless it's full viewed. xD

HOLY GAWD THIS TOOK FOREVER TO DRAW. I have had the idea forEVER, but it never got done till now. Oh yeah, it was for the 100 themes, #45, I believe, ILLUSION.

Here is the short description: These are the illusions in Wanda's head, and how they clash and stuff. This picture was a betch.

Are you ready? LONG DESCRIPTION AHEAD.

Okay, so I drew thew whole thing, and then when I scanned it, I almost burst into tears because it scanned so BADLY. I angsted and angsted, since I didn't want to break my hand off and re-draw it. The colors were all faded, and the black was splotchy and ANGST. Incidentally, I decided to be cheap and download a free 30 day trial for PaintShop, and HOLY CRAP. Darkening tools!! I darkened the CRAP out of this picture. And I tried and re-did some of the faded colors. My lord, I had no clue what I was doing xD But this is what happened. The next 30 days will probably have experimentation from me xD Except for the requests I'm doing. I'll be normal for those xD Especially since I don't know what I'm doing xD

Okay, so ABOUT this. This is Wanda's troubled mind, in case you could not guess. The cool colored parts are her buried memories, the things that Mastermind hid, and the warm colored parts are the new fake memories. I tried to stick with happy things there, and sadder things on the cool side. Lord, I ABUSED that darken tool. I apologize. xD

Believe me, you would cry too, if you saw the horror that my scanner did to this picture. It was because of me mixing medias. Alas, I learned my lesson. :/

ANYWAY. All this aside, I think Pietro is cute when his ice cream falls on him xD THE END.

I don't own X-Men: Evolution!

Hee, it's alright. I myself usually have 30plus deviations to look at, so I understand how it can be to get behind xD;; But thanks a lot! Yup, Wanda needs a psychologist or something xD

I love the color contrast. I'm sorry your scanner did that, but I think it looks awesome anyway. I look forward to seeing more crazy-good pictures from paintshop, and more not from paintshop because there all awesome. I love you!

(For the record, if you end up liking Photoshop, look up the GIMP. Free alternative, although not very user-friendly. I've been experiment with it, and it is a very cool program.)

All the edits you did gave it a sort of stained glass window look (at first, I thought you might have done this with marker). Very groovy. Scanners are the devil.

(You get extra points for insight into Wanda's character, natch.)

Ooh, I probably will eventually. Maybe after my 30 days runs out xD

Actually, I DID do most of the black parts in a black Sharpie marker, but when it ran out, I used a black colored pencil to do the rest; it looked SO cool in real life, but scanned, the textures messed everything up and such. Heehee Thanks!

Whoa.

That's what I literally said when I saw this.
I really like the style you drew it. The whole concept is really cool too. Two thumbs up!

Wow...

That's amazing!

I really like the contrast between the two mental images. Very cool.

You have to wonder though sometimes if Wanda actually thinks like this.

Valoofle In reply to CthulhuWish [2008-03-28 18:38:50 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

I think maybe every now and then, Wanda probably thinks this way xD She can be rather disturbed.

And I know what you mean with the whole scanner thing. I did a drawing once and the scanner killer it. It accually added a yellowy blotch in the middle of the drawingsome how! I nearly cried.

Thanks a lot!

Man, that sounds awful D: I know I was so upset; my green got washed out so much it looked blue, and the red was almost orange. Scanners are sometimes bipolar, I guess. :/
