Lineart: GlitterFey is Really Hot

By BrassyDel
Thursday, August 29th, 2013

Oh my goodness, it’s GLITTERFEY! If you’ve been a long, long time fan, you probably recognize the name if not the character. If you played City of Heroes with us, way back in the day before it was shuttered (obviously), then you might even recognize this outfit and the big ol’ fire sword.

GlitterFey here is a fire blaster, because NC Soft thought it was hilarious to give ranged fighters swords to tempt us into way too close combat. And yes, it worked flawlessly on me. GlitterFey was constantly running in with sword blazing, and Maddy Jones was caught doing it with the ice sword more than once as well.

So this is lineart, which means that I penciled the drawing, inked it, erased the pencil, scanned it, and cleaned up the lines. My inks can be kind of messy sometimes, plus you get some artifact from scanning. I also scan in pure black and white so that I don’t have any greying around the lines. When I go to color the piece, that makes it infinitely easier (at least with my process). This is similar to using the Pencil tool to draw straight into photoshop (and is the tool I use for clean-up) vs. using the Brush. I’ll show you some colored art of this later!

And if you’re super special, aka you are Biiku, you’ve even seen me coloring in Photoshop! I am trying to get some screensharing software figured out so I can livestream art sessions, but so far no dice. The most promising (free) program I found requires Windows 7 and up. Why  no love for XP? Sad Brassy is sad.
