Well here it is, My first color project in photoshop. ^_^
At first when I thought It was finished it looked nothing like this. Nothing at all like this. It was only after descovering some of the finer uses in photoshop did I jump to this detail. Now I know how all them other people put so much damn detail into there work. :P

I'm super proud with this being my very first colored photoshop piece, and my really my first colored picture all together, I did some stuff in art class... but that stuff just.. well sucked...-_-

I did another piece (whats in my gallery) in Photoshop, but that one was in gray scale and that was more of a test drive. I had no idea where anything was, and I didnt layer or anything. its like I got the idea in my head, I just dont know the tools.

Besides the things done in photoshop...what inspired this.
for one. I wanted to make something to me that I would feel like a sizable milestone in my abilities, what mostly concentrated on the colored part, I NEVER do color.
Two I wanted to do a piece with my character kite in it, I have other characters, but he seems to be my favourite to draw. and three I just wanted to make it look down right badass, like hes going to kick ass and take names.

I used my other piece with kite in the similer armor as a base for what this one was. I liked the concept of the other piece but I did not like the way I drew kite all stringy and his body all strechy looking, it just didnt look like kite, I had to correct that,and that is what this picture was for. this is what I truly imagen kite as, I serious bad ass, no strings attached just a plane out hero type character.
well hes actually is a really nice loving character, but I wanted to capture is other side, he dont mess around when he is saving the day. ^_^

I'm betting there is a thousand this I could of fix in it, but I just got sick yesterday with the flu, and I cant see strate or think for dimes worth, I just wanted to finish it. as with much as I needed to do to finish it, it should of only took me a hour when I got on my computer to finish the rest, being sick made it take tell the wee hours of the morning @_@...alot of brain farts.

With that I guess thats all I really need to say. a bit langthy, but yeah, pritty much.

and befor I forget, thank you all my watchers, your support means alot to me, thanks to snowfrye [link] for all your many comments, and thanks to anyone so far who has taken notice in my gallery :)

Dont forget to comment, I would serously like to see peoples thoughts on my first colored piece. It would make my day.

I guess this was the starting point for your other wonderfully colored pieces like the Blue-Eyed Vixen, eh?

You did an amazing job for your first time.

Pieces like this inspire me to work on my Fursona.
