So here's some art from That Infamous Drow Phase around 2002-3, which probably happened before most of you had come across me (but I know Adele remembers!) I was trying around with pencil shading plus digital colouring in Photoshop; the last two were coloured in Painter, and I came back to watercolour every once in a while, but often failed at that, heh. A lot of the time, I just left my lineart as it was (or pretended that colouring attempts never happened.)
(It hurtssss usss, precioussss!)
It was a weird time for artists online - when I see how supportive the community is today, I'm often amazed at how much hate was directed at female artists twenty-odd years ago if they dared to draw handsome men instead of hulking brutes and scantily-clad women. I got some pretty wild comments on the Bladedancers piece. "THIS WORLD IS CAVING IN!!!11" was one of them. XD
