Oh GODS this is beautfiful!!!!

Thank you! ;3;

This just screams "fantasy novel".
I DEMAND YOU WRITE ONE >:CCC

LOL... I'm not sure my writing is sophisticated enough for a fantasy novel, but I've always really enjoyed children's books and could get into that.

It's not like I still buy them or anything.

*runs*

Oh my gooooosh so lovely. Those colors, those dragons, that atmoshpere. Aaah! How did you do this in 4 hours waat.

Thank you very much!

Making a butterfly brush instead of drawing each one individually certainly helped, LOL. >__> *shot*

Do you make all your own brushes or do you have some favorites that you've downloaded?

I use a lot of downloaded brushes, as well as making my own~ In my FAQ it has a lot of download links to some of the ones I use often.


I need to package the ones I've made one day (and maybe try harder in making GOOD ones, lmao)... I love sharing, but it'll take some separating out because I don't want to take credit for others' work. ;)

Thank you!! And your tutorial in there was very helpful too.

Awesome! Such a gorgeous palette... This would be fantastic as a real media painting, in a huge size.

Thank youu! I'd love to do a huge real media painting one of these days... though this might make a fun print in any case. :B

Oh, the colors make me think of sweet tasty things x3

Lol! Yesss. ;__; /hoards candy

xD you silleh ♥

"speedpainting"? :) this is beautiful!

LOL, yes... trust me, if you zoom in 100% it's so messy. XD Thanks, bb! <333

hoooooow? god how?! (i'm jelly) :[

Lisa Frank explosion? LOL.

Thank you! ;3;

Your stuff is equal parts inspiring, and equal parts making-me-want-to-quit-art-forever.

God damn.

LOL, thank you!
_{Hopefully more of the former, though... I better not be responsible for any quittin' round these parts. >:0}

It definitely is. I forget who it was, but they put it rather nicely; It's intimidating. Not in regards to 'oh god this artist is better than me no one will like my art' as much as...

This is the sort of quality I want to live up to. It's incredibly impressive, and honestly every piece you submit fills me with equal amounts of joy and envy. They are so vibrant and packed full of life, and constantly makes me reevaluate my own work.

It's just.. guh. That's the best I can explain it, lol.

It really means a lot to read that. ;3; Actually, I'm having trouble finding words to reply with (without sounding like a whore or something, lmao).


A part of me feels I don't deserve praise like that, since I have my own struggles with art. I'm really glad you feel inspiration more than negative feelings... while I was depressed years back I had zero drive/inspiration when I looked at really amazing art (it was sort of a "why even bother" thing). Once I got more positive and stopped comparing myself to other artists constantly, it was much easier to focus on art and find what I enjoyed about it. :'D

Didn't mean to steer the conversation into being about myself, LOL... but yes! You have excellent anatomy from what I've seen in your gallery... I'd love to see you experiment more and do "bigger" paintings! I'm sure they'd be fantastic.

Those are shoes I've been in before, and have to make an active effort not to fall into again. Don't ever sell yourself short though; We're all terrible critics towards ourselves, y'know? We all struggle a little bit. Of course, I guess it wouldn't be right to be 100% comfortable in your art. We should always want to be better, right?

And thank you so much! I'd love to do some more experimenting, when I have a big chunk of free time. Draw something with a little more life for once.
(And gaah, thank you for the watch )

If this were a drink, it'd be delicious. Lovely as always, I really like how you filled up the sky space with different textures and colors. Yammyyy <3

Lol! Thank you... the colors do look like they'd make a refreshing drink. XD

Amazing concept. O_O

<3

Thanks! The commissioner has the most fun ideas to bring to life. <33

Amazing illustration. This would make a great desktop. ^^

Haha, thanks so much! :D

4 hours

my mind wouldn't even be able to compreh- 1000100100100100111110101000101*Fatal Crash Error*

*Blue Screen of Death*

LOL! Nooooo. I swear it's easier than it sounds, lmao.

Wow, this is really awesome! I love all the detail you put into this! :O I love pictures like this X3

Thanks so much, hon! :DD It's nice to get the opportunity to go detail-crazy, lol~

You're welcome~! X3 and yeah I bet! So awesome~

Love the smoke effect going on in this..

Thank you! c:

It is assumed that this image shows only, or with the music?

Used machine translation.

There isn't any music (I have very little musical talent).... so it's just an image~ XD <3

It is a pity that there is no music. This is something I recalled ...

Used machine translation.

I am always amazed at the depth you achieve for "speed-painting." What size do you normally work at, out of curiousity? I am trying to find a way to speed up my painting skills as well. :b

Thank you! My favorite size to do paintings on is 11x17"@300ppi. It's a good print size, works well on my laptop with very little slowdown (sometimes larger sizes can get a bit hairy if there are multiple layers or something), and when it shrinks it looks a *lot* cleaner than it would if I worked at some small size to begin with. :D

_{(a screenshot at 100%... in this painting I added some texture because I felt it helped a lot of the different elements be more consistent.)}



So I'd say bigger is better. LOL. That way you can be a lot more loose/quick. :D

Thank you for the advice! I am trying to use larger canvas sizes/looser painting. You're definitely one of my digital inspirations! :)

Dang, I wanted to see that full size, but I think the image was removed?

set free a soul?? =D this is beautiful

Lol... maybe he did! Thank you. :D

I always love your sense of colors!

Hee, thanks hon! c:

that looks amazing ;o

Thank you~ c:

Hee, thanks so much! XD

If graphic design = insane Lisa Frank colors... I think so. >__> LOL.

Pretty sweet ^^

Thanks! c:

My brain just dissolved from the awesome

Noooo! D: *re-combines your brain*

Lol, thanks hon! ;3;

Again...I don't found the words for tell you how I love it =X
Good Centra ! You really draw my idea like I wanted it . That really fantastic ;; = ;;

Thank you so much *hug* ;; = ;;

(And you did it !!! You have defeat "apple haters" \o/ Congrats miss <3 )

LOL! I defended my Macintosh computer's pride... now it can be free from computer racism.


*hugggg* You're most welcome, Toorak! I wish I went on half as many adventures as your character did, LOL... it looks like so much fun! ;3; Thanks for giving me the opportunity to draw him so many times~

And you to accept to draw him so many times miss ~
Thank you so much !

By the way... You need to write it D:

This is gorgeous! :O
I envy people who can paint well. xD; (And you call this a speedpainting. Pfha~ ;H; )

Thank youu! ;3;

Well... I think if I was oil painting, I'd be just about done mixing my colors at the four-hour mark. Lmao~

This seems so Magical. Most definitely something you needed to share with everyone, so beautiful and captivating.

Thanks so much, Jen! ;3;

It was really fun watching you stream this! It turned out gorgeous!

Thank you! It was nice talking to you and everyone else in the stream, too! :D

The holophonor really is the best insturment

So true

LOL... true that.

Exquisite! :D

Splendid!

This looks utterly remarkeable~!

I can't believe that you color the characters first and then add in a bg later.
Your work is always so gorgeous Centra.
I really need to catch you stream again sometime.

Wow, this is beautiful! Gorgeous style :)

I favorited this because it's a wonderfull example in the use of color. It also dabbles in what appears to be symbolism and is depicted very well. Very nice design and a very lovelly pciture all in all. Good job!

You're still one of my top favorite artists. I'm glad you came here. Great pic.

And then she wrote a story that was so awesome FA wouldn;t let it be posted.. Damn FA >.<

*giggle* This is lovely by the way, So magical... I love it.

I gotta ask, how many layers do you usually work with? Because this seems like a one-layer thing, and it looks/feels amazing.
