Not much really to say about me. I'm just a closet anime lover, not really too open about it but if you look in my sketchbook, it's almost an unhealthy obsession lol. I absolutely completely and truly LOVE the play Rent, and I currently have a collaboration with my favorite anime and the characters of Rent in the making. It may take at least a few weeks to get this picture up but I am expecting it to be the jewel of my gallery. It was hard figuring out which characters were most like the characters in Rent, but I think I have it figured out. I have three jobs, two of which involve my favorite thing in the whole world: horses, and one of which is my second love: horsepower. I can't draw cars for anything though so don't expect to see any of those in my gallery. And I'll leave everyone with these final words of wisdom taken from Rent itself, the staple of the entire play and the whole message: no day but today.

Hah, I'm such a Renthead.

StratadrakeYeah, I know, if it's an OC then it should be a completely original design. Anyway, about the boy Firefly's colors: I wanted to pay homage to the normal Firefly's colors (magenta and blue hair), but at the same time make them look more 'boy'-ish. So I used opted for red rather than magenta and a really dark (almost black) shade of blue for the hair.

HoneyPossumHi there! I wanted to thank you for your VERY kind comment. I really appreciate it. I will definitely need to look at your work! I'm excited.

And there's nothing wrong with being diversified. ^-^

Stratadrake on April 28, 2005, 3:29:22 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeYeah, I know I could've come up with a more original name for the boy version of Firefly. Problem is, though, I kinda hate it when an artist uses applies only slight variations to a character and gives them a new name as an OC, that's kinda cheap... so I just stuck with the same name to keep it clear which character I based the drawing on.

StratadrakeOh, I was going to respond to the comment you left on the Pegasus Zero MLP I drew, simple and quick, the gold 'claws' are elements of the Liger Zero armor, that's why they're on the feet. (Same thing for the gold 'fangs' on the head armor)

StratadrakeTrouble with the scanner still, eh? I'm curious what make & model it is...

Anyway, about scan resolutions. Scanner and printing resolution is measured in dpi -- "dots per inch". When you scan (or print) a drawing, dpi literally means how many pixels will correspond to one inch on the paper. An 8x10 drawing, if you scanned it in at say 100 dpi, will result in a drawings that's 800x1000 pixels. At 50 dpi, you'd be looking at a 400x500 pixels large. At 150 dpi, the drawing would be 1200x1500 pixels large.

Here's something interesting: If you have a 15" monitor set to a desktop size of 800x600, your monitor's resolution will be approximately 72 pixels per inch (or "dpi"), therefore if you scan a drawing at 75dpi, it'll appear roughly the same size on your screen as it does in real life. Scan it at 150dpi, and the image will appear about twice as large as in real life.

You can figure out your monitor's DPI pretty easy: Open up MS Paint, put a ruler on the screen, and mark off 10 inches. Then measure how many pixels fit in that space, divide by ten, and there's the dpi of your monitor.

As for working with the scanner, sometimes you just have to browse through its manual or the scanner utility's help files. Sometimes you can find online tutorials for learning how to tweak it for best results.

KagomeTheArcherSure you can use the idea of my Tenshi! Just give me credit, ok ^_~? Thank you for the nice compliment!

StratadrakeI'm curious, what kind of scanner do you have? While I don't want to say I have a perfect scanner myself, usually it's just a matter of knowing how to adjust your scanner settings to get the best resolution and exposure when you scan.

What kind of scanner do you have, anyway? Mine is an HP 4400c and the scanner utility to manage it is HP PrecisionScan Pro, works very well for me.

A few general tips I can think of are:
- Always scan things at a higher resolution than you need. Myself, I always scan in my drawings at 150px/in and size them smaller using photoshop down to about 50-75px/in. The higher a resolution you pick, the longer it'll take to scan, but it'll appear more sharply focused when you resize it to a smaller scale.
- It's usually better to call your scanner utility from within photoshop, rather than hitting the button on the scanner. Look for an "Acquire" type command in the menus, most photo utilities have them. The reason for this is because photoshops allow you to change the quality options for saving to JPEG, while the scanner utility itself might not (and as well as PrecisionScan does at scanning, it doesn't save JPEG's very well).

Getting the best results from your scanner isn't that hard, but it can take a little bit of know-how, and lots of experimentation and tweaking around with the options.
