Okay, I've been delaying this for quite some time about the results of that Art War contest I've entered last weekend and here it is.  I didn't win anything, but strangely enough, I'm not that upset about that.  I'm really happy for the winners and for what they have accomplished.  See, the thing is, I'm more upset with myself for one reason: I wasn't even close to finish with my entry piece afterworking on it for nearly 5 hours.

My plan was to do a monochromatic acrylic illustration of Batman and Scarecrow.  I thought I was keeping things simple despite my disadvantage in traditional painting.  But even still and how focused I was within the 5 hour timeframe, I've overstatemented myself when it comes to painting with acrylic.  This was a whole different level of coloring compared to what I do on Photoshop.  You see, I am very keen when it comes to applying detail to my work, and acrylic painting didn't offer me that same versatility (no matter how small my paintbrushes were) as digital painting when it comes to detailed work.  But despite getting started on some detail for my work, I didn't even finish applying the base colors for illustration; I was merely at 75% on that stage before time ran out.

So basically, I am ashamed for my unfinished illustration, and leaving it out there on display like an opened wound.  I'm so ashamed of it, that I don't even want to finish it whenever I'll get it back.  Also, I feel really bad for my pencilled illustration, because I did more harm than good when I covered it up with acrylic.  It just makes me want to never touch a paintbrush ever again (at least for a time-limited competition like that one).  And despite all the encouragement (although sometimes I think that was a misguided use to show pity) I get for my unfinished work, they can never understand my true feelings for I what I have went through on that day.

But you know what?  This was a learning experience I will take to heart.  And if there was another Art War next year, I'll gladly take up that challenge again (if I have time) just to prove myself on what I can accomplish no matter the limits.  To those who send their support for me on my last journal, thank you very much!

What? You mean under the home page where it says, "Sequential Artist" underneath my name? There should be an Edit Button/Feature for that.

Pardon me but I'm curious.
Has anyone ever relate your name "Shipper" to fanfiction term 'ship?' ^^;
Reply
:iconmystic-forces:
Heh. Believe it or not, yes, I was well aware of that before I submitted my "Spitfire's Uniform" on DeviantART. Also, you are the FIRST person to notice that connection. By the way, I was well aware of that risk I was about to take and prepared to accept it. Actually, I had an idea about myself when I submitted that comic. Ready? Here it goes:

*AHEM*


[After Ford submitted his comic online and receiving many praises and comments for his work...]

FORD: Well, they don't call me Ford SHIPPER for nothing!

...

FORD: :ashamed: Oh dear God, what have I gotten myself into?

[End scene.]


Truthfully, I don't have any interest to do shipping-relative stuff (unless someone pays me very handsomely or it's really REALLY funny).

Oh yeah, "Spitfire's Uniform," I'd just saw that minutes ago. I'll look it up again.

I'm very sure its common for people's name for connecting to popular terms.
I talked to one person who's last name is "Dorado," its a 'golden' name you know.

If it make you feel any better, you are allow to block our conversation from public view. :nod:

I can tell from your gallery.

Sorry, but what do you mean by that last sentence? I might have made some MLP comics and some raunchy stuff like "Spitfire's Uniform" and "Less is More" series, which I decided to discontinue with that years ago, that doesn't mean they represent what I strive for when it comes to my artwork. When it comes to my parody comics at the very least, my main focus on them is the humor, not sexual exploitation or misuse of foul language. I do have my own standards to live by. Plus, I have other interests to consider for my art such as video games, nostalgic cartoons, and my own comic book.

Anyway, are you sure you want me to hide this conversation? I don't want it to be insulting to you or anything.

Hi:wave:. Sorry to bother you. I'm planning out a 'Less is More' image with Cammy. But I need help. I got the 4th block(easy) and 3rd. But the first two I am having problem. I've seen her with a blue outfit [link], green outfit [link] Did the blue one come first in Street Fighter 2 and then green in Street Fighter Alpha?
Reply
:iconmystic-forces:
Actually from my research by looking at the sprites, the green outfit came out first in Street Fighter II and then the blue outfit came out later in S.F. Alpha. I know it might be confusing since Alpha took place before S.F. II, but I would just stick it in chronological order for when the game was release.

Sprites are "clips" of the animation in video games.
