Oh my!

Jeez, this is huge!

The file Raffa is on is 4950 x 5925 pixels – i wanted to do some nice detailed fur and hair fx and if one works too small those fine lines turn into jagged pixelated sawblades. Somehow in shrinking a large image down to smaller the re-scan compensates and the lines stay fairly smooth.

The background file is 3000 x 2400 which is fairly small-medium sized as most digi art goes these days. The main reason for not making it larger was that i was using Krita's foliage brushes and the program slows down a bit if you make them too big (and eats up more memory thus threatening crash)...at full size it looks rather rough (as shown here) but fit to screen size it looks quite nice. I still have a couple tweeks to do to the bg – connect some leaves with stems, erase some, etc etc.

The combined picture size is the same as the bg – 3000 x 2400 – Raffa gets reduced 40% and the pic here is a crop of that at full resolution.

My goodness the texture and detail on this is gorgeous! Those teeth! That eye detail - this is beautiful!

Goodness it makes me want to just ruffle that platinum blonde hair.

Thanks! ^_^

Go ahead and ruffle away - she doesn't bite!

You had me at the pose

The detail was a bonus!

alright...nothing but stick figures from now on....

Nooooooooooooo

You really need to find somewhere to host all your things at full size for download or something... I'd really love to have high def copies. <3

Funny that you mention that as i'm going to post the finished full size version of this pic at Weasyl and dA tomorrow before posting it here so i can link to those posts. i always make full sized downloads available there, cuz i'm all about the free web/open source stuff. ^_^

Hmm... I watch you over there as well, but I was not aware you were doing this. I remember downloading one of your previous posts from Weasyl and it was the same resolution as the one posted on FA. I had a small sad. :c

There are two reasons some Weasyl files are small/same size as here:
1. Old Art - done way back in the dinosaur days of digi-art.
2. When my previous comp died i hadn't backed up all my art - so i had to recover some files from dA and FA. i still intend to try to recover the files from that harddrive - learn to do it myself or pay through the nose for it (techs charge thousands to that)...

Anyhoo, the full final size Raffa pick is up at Weasyl now:

Ah... bummer... I really am partial to your skunk pieces... There is a lot of fur detail in those tails, it's just so tiny. :c
