@Moony;
Mmhm, I do^^
I'm planning to, and I'm possibly getting one from my grandmother for my Birthday.
Anyway, for your prices, I'd say the full customs might be a bit expensive, but since you have the alternate payments and also have avatars for hoards, I think it evens out and all and all it's fair^^

Can I get help in PSE? Need a tutorial on how to make stuff glow. Can't find one... >.>

Since I stalk this thread more than I post on it, and since I don't really have critique for anything here's a message to you all:
I love all those fantastic drawings. Keep up the good work!

Since I don't think anybody saw this, I'm just gonna quote. In case you need it, I use PSE 6. :3

@mistywren: That bird is beautiful with so much details. I really love the shading and texture on it.

Try playing with the layer settings to get glowing effects.
I think the "Vivid Light" layer option in PSE might work well for a good glow.
In SAI, I use Luminosity to get glowing colours, but I don't think that Luminosity works very well on PSE; I could be wrong.

Thank you, I'll try that.

Still working on my reference sheet for my OC, Sapiens. Here's what I have so far of him--





Sapiens (saw-pee-ens) is the god of creatures within my story. He created all creatures in turn, starting with wolves, rabbits, hawks, and deer-- which were initially made to resemble his own appearance.
Though new creatures are not made in the modern times of my story, Sapiens is still a highly spoken of and respected god. As each creature dies, it is Sapiens' job to guide souls into their next bodies, continuing on the flow of life with reincarnation.
It is because of his love and care for all creatures that Sapiens has become many more times revered than Ineo, the very creator of the world, his mother.

Sapiens' base design was actually extremely random. I just drew some random creature one day and it evolved into this, lol.
I decided to later pick apart several of his parts, and make a story of creating creatures based off of his own looks-- rabbit, hawk, deer, and wolf were quite easy to get off of him. xD
His overall body shape is birdlike, except for wolf-like legs. The only part of him that hasn't been defined as another animal is his tail, which is just generic, I'd say.
His legs and tailbones are actually bare bone, although they appear to be silvery. Silver is a very important aspect in my story for reasons that I cannot tell, and is mentioned many times so I thought that this was a nice touch for him. The reason for them actually being bone is to show how he deals with both life and death.
I've thought of making his antlers silvery as well, but I've had two qualms against that and decided not to. For one, it just looks ugly, and then the fact that antlers are constantly growing and being replaced doesn't really bring out that "dead" aspect as his legs do, so matching them doesn't make much sense to me. xD

There is really only one solid religion in my story, and it all centers around Sapiens and his mother. Nearly everyone within the country Lorn believes in the two, and stories centering around them.
Belief remains very strong in the two gods as Sapiens and Ineo are both often seen by mortal eyes. It is said that Ineo can be found near the pure Lake Vale, while Sapiens is spoken of as roosting at the top of the largest mountain within Lorn, The Horn.
In addition, Sapiens is often spotted in dreams-- and in near-death experiences. Nearly all dream spottings of him are just fantasies, but, while some have doubts, true near death experiences are actual glimpses into the god's realm, a place between life and death (note, there is no heaven or hell in my story, only life, between life, and life again.)
Though this has never been confirmed by anyone within my story, the only true way to tell if Sapiens has been truly seen by a person is his eye colour.
All false meetings with the god will show eyes anywhere between the colours of green and gold. True ones will always show his actual colour, red.

Too bad I'm just a tease, since the story's not online for reading! ;3
Well, the second chapter actually is, but I'd have to link you to it. xD
I'd put first chapter up, but it's just a basis towards the creation of creatures within my story and isn't actually interesting in a visual means.

Seems that you're having fun with the painting! :3

If you want to know more about varying your brushes--

This should help a lot! C:

It also has downloads for custom brush settings, but you'll have to figure out how to do those yourself because I am NOT good at explaining things over the internet. xD
