Blah, you can only do so much in one hour of coloring.

Anyway, I shrinked her pony tail and gave her a ribbon, which is not easily identifiable now. I put in some shading for skins and hair.

The next time I work on this, I'll redraw the right portion of her hair(Remember, she's facing us). By that point, I am pretty much done with the line art on her face.

I'm tempted to buy it but I kind of feel like I will regret it.

Not because I will lose 0.10 BTC, but because it may hurt my eyes irreversibly.

Every saint has a past. Every sinner has a future.

Now, this may sound silly, but why I am able to download the picture without paying? Are you no longer charging people?

Update today: The shading in general are much more pronounced now. The left portion(she's facing us) redrawing is pretty much done. Skin shading is just starting. I also started cleaning the cloak.

If you want large changes in one revision, you won't get it in this update. Remember though, this is about an hour of work.

Also, thanks for the anonymous patron donated 50 BTC to me! Make my work all the more worthwhile.

In today's update, I redrew the eyes, nose, and mouth as well generally cleaning up shoulder/neck area. Then I begins applying a skin primary layer.

With the exception of the skin coloring, these changes are subtle, but I think it will produce a much cleaner artwork.

(What's going on, guys? No download yesterday!)

More shading, and more redrawing of lines. Instead of those figging ugly hairlines, I have replace most of the hair strand lines with niccccce lines. I hope you guys will be able to perceive the difference because I put about an hour of work into this.

I also watched a few tutorial on drawing and coloring anime figures. In that time, I learned that I did my shading wrong. So, shading fixing here I come!

Ok, my last statement make no sense, either.

I meant, you have to pay if you want to preview it?

Thanks for fixing the problem.

It just wasn't showing before until you had deposited.

Do you mean, I have to pay before downloading? Makes no sense.

For my next art project, I will auction "character" space.

The image will depict Haruka Nakamoto, the genderbended version of the inventor who invent bitcoin, talking with 3 bitcoiners(Who still have no idea) in a New York cafe after a bitcoin conference. This will be a wallpaper.

It will be my first entirely digital artwork, no drawing on paper.

1. The person sitting next to her. waterfox - 2 BTC.

2. The person sitting across to her. waterfox - 2 BTC.

3. The person sitting left of the person sitting across to her. davidonpda - 1 BTC.

4. Background spot. da2ce7 - 10 BTC

If you win, you will be asked to provide a photo, or at least a description of what you look like. You will also be provided daily FREE access to work-in-progress.

End date: Whenever I finished the current artwork.

The Bitcoin logo on top of the monitor now looks like the Ritcoin logo.

Decided to switch back to bitcoinservice.co.uk because they have preview displayed.

So what I did in this artwork? More shading and more redrawing the lines. It's rather slow work sometime.

Btw what up with the bitcoin logo and its messed up boxes on it. When you scan do you do digital touch ups or not really?

Coloring process = digital touchup then actual coloring.

If you download the latest artwork, you would already know that yes, of course, I do touchup.

Pastecoin should include a address that you can donate to after you have seen the image! (with a donation message)

I really recommend you learn how to use Illustrator, it is a wonderful program. Much more powerful than the GIMP path tool. Even so, if you want to continue using FOSS, try inkscape.

I am a linux user and I don't use expensive photo editing tool. Beside, GIMP is good enough for me.

I jumped again to another download host, looking for the best deal. This time, it's forum user genjix!

I have two things to complain though:

1. WHERE IS THE PREVIEW IMAGE THAT I ASK FOR?

2. 2%? You dare add them to my price? That's unexpected behavior.

As for what I am doing to the art in this iteration:

I am redrawing the lines to be crispy clear with a GIMP tool called Path. It is a very POWERFUL tool. Heck, I might as well draw digitally instead of scanning in artworks.

Now, at the same time, I am also shading. I finally figured out how to do that by manipulating the opacity. Combined with path, they're a piece of cake.

I didn't know all these thing before I started drawing for bitcoin.

For those who download...Thanks for the continued baconage!
