Heterochromia: Page 10 No long ramble for this one, because it's late/early (1:20am) and this page has been a long time in coming, from start to finish--reflecting on the whole process would be hard. That said... (onto the long ramble) Before this, I had only once been able to draw Tilamere as I wanted her to look--that she came out so well on this page is a little miracle, that has continued onto the next pages by some celestial grace. This is an unusual page layout for me. I am rarely able to pull off an unbordered panel that satisfies me. But, with Tilamere's introduction, I just had to make a page layout that would suit her personality; thus, the shoujo-esq flowery headshot. It took me a while to figure out precisely how I wanted to do the flowers. None of the screentones or manga brushes available to me quite fit the job. I saw a certain page of Acid Monday with an incredible flowery backdrop, but when I asked, said that the tone was available in the program she uses, not for download. So then I went for plan B: find a good flower picture, make it into a screentone. After a bit of searching and trial and error, I found a useful flower stock that I was able to use. Desaturated it, played with the brightness/contrast, used the cutout filter, then replaced each "cutout level" with a tone pattern of the same brightness. Clever, non? ...actually, that turned out to be one of the longer rambles.
