Mrooo, lots of sloobery drool <3

I was hungry... very hungry. Make it easy to swallow my meals whole.

Well, its alot but not alot of it is connected /linked/dripping from the same source but rather thick. This effect would look great for spoo with a lil bit less transparency. id say cut back but its your picy. Would love to know how ya did it tho, will come in hands for projects im currently doing ^^

I used  evilartnazi tutorial here http://www.furaffinity.net/view/524871/ as a start. The main difference is that I went crazy with the smear brush for the middle layer. Then I turned down the opacity to give it that clear look.

I love the smear tool and used it almost everywhere. It's almost like using a watercolor brush as I use it to 'shove' the colors into certain areas. I'm using GIMP now and one of it's limitation is that it doesn't have a resize option for the smear tool (at least I couldn't find it). That scale slider missing even though other brush tools have it. Very odd and a pain.

Asside from that and the often time wacky interface, I'm warming up to GIMP. I already like it better than PhotoShop. PaintShop Pro still has the best interface IMHO.

Anyway, if you really want to know how I got this effect, I guess I could post the separate layers in my scraps or something.

Hey your awesomesauce :3 Could use the layered file to see in layered mode. Ill be toying with that smeer tool. photoshop will allow the radious size so thatll work, this be cool, gettin pretty tired of just the dodge and burn. :]

I made a quick tutorial here http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1615459/ . I hope it'll help. But if thing the actually layers I have would help better, I can convert them to PS format and send it to you.

I had the tendency of using dodge and burn a lot. Kinda weened myself from it and find using multiply layer setting better for the shadows and divide for the highlights. Sometimes I use lighten only to add that special glints at the end.

Kool beans!

Cool beads! Actually, the beads were warm but you get the picture.

Just enough, looks lovely ^^ And looks very inviting, too

Yeah, the more I look at it, the more I feel I achieve the right effect. Aside from fixing a couple of areas (very minor ones fortunately. com close and see). My next task is going to be the background. I still haven't decided what to do for it though.

*moves up close and looks curiously* I don't see anything wrong with it...

That's what I was going for. And yes, I dabbled with it some more. It's getting downright scary. Subtle but looking much crisper now. Plus I fixed a couple of mistakes.

I can spend more time on it but I feel I must move on to the background soon. I'm drawing a blank here (well, something better than a blank). I really don't want to go with my old standby of just making clouds. I want to do something difference but not too difficult, or I'll be working on it months like that one elaborate background I did.

Gooey. @_@

Hehe, I do have a habit of leaking various fluids all over the place. And now that I'm honing my drawing techniques, I plan on leaking more.
