Silas Zee: Watermark

Watermark THIS

2010.09.09

This image was whipped up as a gag piece for Deviantart, but the figure turned out really well for a quick little artwork so I decided to post it here.

A good number of my pieces on DA were popping up on T-shirts and the like, so I began to use the Deviantart watermark on work I would post there. Of course, DA people like to complain about... well...everything and I started hearing a lot of bitching about how the watermarks were "ruining" my art.

Really? REALLY?

So that's how this piece came to be. This was actually trickier than I initially thought because I wanted to hide just enough behind the DA watermark, yet still retain her pose and figure. So I did a lot of adjusting and re-adjusting with the transparency of the watermark layer. I wanted to post both versions here because I'm really happy with how the original lineart came out. Like I said, for something that was doodled and inked on the back of a scrap piece of paper... the pose, expression and colors turned out really well. ^_^
