Hi there! I'm Jenni, an illustrator & designer from Sydney, Australia.
Many of the pieces I draw are of my own original characters or my friends' characters.
Also I like questions. Ask me questions!

Anonymous asked: Awesome work! Please help a complete digital amateur out and tell me how you keep the crisp black lines from a scanned in original drawing and add colours - e.g. Best way to colour in Photoshop!?! I've noticed the 'colour' blending mode, distorts the actual colours :(. Yours are so perfectly rendered

I dunno if I can help you much here. Most of my work is completely digital. It’s been a while since I did traditional art.

However when I do I usually do a hi-res scan and desaturate it. I then adjust the contrast/curves, making sure the lineart is fairly crisp and high contrast and the background is a pure white.

I then open the channels panel and press ‘command’ and click the thumbnail on the RGB layer. This should load a selection that looks something like this.

I then hit delete, which should now remove the white. You can now go back to your normal layers panel and lock the alpha, then colour over your lines in black or whatever colour you want your lineart to be!

They usually end up a little thicker/heavier than before so you may ned to go all the way back and adjust the contrast more. Once you’re happy you can then colour below that layer without needing to apply a blending mode.

I hope that’s helpful! Or even understandable.

elizabethplaid replied to your post: I just found your blog. I have nothing to ask… all I want to say is that Stanton needs to be real so we can get married and live happily ever after.

is that at the top of his head or the top of his antlers, though?

Not including his antlers ahaha. Stanton is 6’3” without antlers. They’re the two tallest of that universe.

WOW TUMBLR NEVER INFORMED ME ABOUT THIS ASK! I’m sorry ahhh ;~;

You may have to engage in combat with Stanton’s boyfran though ): He’s a 6’8” beast. Good luck!

I have a massive headache )’: But I really need to start drawing more again.
Uhh…
Guys guess who finally watch Legend of Korra!
Stanton as Animal Crossing!
Seeing all those skullgirls inspired me to draw a character that I don’t draw enough. One day I will learn to colour. That day is not today.

paexie asked: Mass Effect? uvu If not how about any of the Gundam series? ucu/♥

I haven’t forgotten about these |’: I’m just slow.
I actually haven’t played/watched either of these but I know a little bit more about ME kind of… Sorry I didn’t do Garrus justice as I don’t know how his body/face works |’:
I’M GONNA PLAY IT VERY SOON! I’m just waiting on a cable to plug it into my tv as I got my bros old pc but have no monitor.
A promo image I did a little while back for SMASH!, a Sydney anime convention. Their mascots as a tribute to the Adventure Time style.

Anonymous asked you: History! That’s a fandom, right?

Wait… what?

Anonymous asked you: X-Men :D
walnut-pal asked you: Angelic Layer! ;) ;) ;) Also x-men.

I thought for a while about how X-Men was going to be hard for me to choose but then I remembered Nightcrawler existed.
Angelic Layer is another thing from so far back that I can’t remember the characters haha. I think I liked the creepy professor though.
