For those who have many watchers, and for those who don’t have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

Holy snap. That took a while.
(And I'm actually still not sure if it's done. But I wanted to upload it. I might make minor changes in the future but it won't look much different.) Right! So. Digital painting. Used my normal toolset, which is lots of colors and the eyedropper thingummy to keep track of 'em, excessive dodge/burn, a dozen layers, utilization of the smudge tool, and others. First attempt at turning a hand-drawn sketch into a digital painting. Oh, don't look at me like that; the reason all my art doesn't look this good is mostly laziness.  However...except for the sketch I used as a guidelines, I did do this entirely on the computer, not even relying on pre-inked lines. Meaning that I did everything freehand with a mouse. Well, you try using only a mouse for seven years to create art; you get pretty good after a while.  Constructive criticism is highly welcome, even if I'm too cheap to afford the critique feature. Sketch: [link] WiP: [link] EDIT: Just fixed up some stuff, including darkening up the background and fixing his face. ^_^ EDIT 2 (5/22): Did lots of stuff with the rocks, background, and hair; hopefully it looks nicer? |

I just lost The Game!
Total People Who Hate My Signature So Far: 17

I like: the foreshortening, the wind-swept quality, the clouds, the rocks, the plants, and the stitching on Link's hat. I'm impressed that you did all this with a mouse
Wonderful work!

The left arm looks oddly stretched out: probably should either widen the arm or make the hand a bit smaller. And the hair over his face looks off, but I can't pinpoint why. o.O I love the rest of it, though, especially the clouds and the ground waaaaaaay beyond them; I actually got a touch of vertigo looking at it. ^.^; The bombfruit is a cute touch, too.
