Self Portraits :)

[Guest Micha]

The art's already on your computer?

Yes it is. I produce digital art in Photoshop. Now to get it here is the thing.

Always good to hear from you.

And thanks for being there.

[Guest Alder]

if you go to an image host site like photobucket.com or flickr.com you can upload your image to there, then you link it here with the image buttony thing (since it's easiest)

[Guest Chrysee]

Thanks, Alder. I have an account on deviant art, but this is not something I would post there. This is probably the only site where I would feel comfortable doing it, and not due to the subject but because of the quality of the piece. It is not yet truly finished.

Oh well.

[Guest Micha]

Yussss! I use photobucket, an it's easy nuff. Once you create an account they give you an option to upload straight from your computer, browse your own files an all. They also give you the option to keep your images private, as in you have to have a password to see em.

http://imageshack.us/ also lets you upload, and without creating an account, but I find keeping track of my uploaded images on this site to be difficult. I prefer this one for quick uploads that aren't personal to me, so for a piece of art you truly care about and aren't ready to share on dA yet, I'd go with photoshack.

Thanks so much. Will get to it when I can.

Am now going to check out your 'genderqueer' post.

I so love that word.

Love,

So I was up all night working on a project for school, when my program crashes (around 4:15 this morning) and reverts it to the last time IT saved (mind you I HAD saved like eight times) which was around 1 in the morning. I felt abused by the muses, how dare they give me creativity that leads directly to a wall. So instead they gave me this piece. So I figured I'd share it here, then hopefully get some sleep...

....They didn't have a yawning smiley. This'll have to do. It's still pretty close...

So, i'm reentering this, because I was told the picture didn't upload.

[Guest Micha]

I love it! So cool and straight forward.

[Guest Chrysee]

Okay, so I finally figured out how to post photos in the gallery here. There are no 'portraits' (i.e. original art) as yet, but it does show who (what?) I was and am becoming. I guess.

Thanks Micha!

I intially took the form from a picture of Shannon Sossaman, and it developed from there, It's a fairly accurate look at my facial and body form, the only embellishment was the sexy spikey hair. Le Sigh, my curls just don't fit my wants, but I have long since learned to try and tame it.

[Guest Chrysee]

Okay, I just tried to upload a self portrait (a digital painting done in Photoshop CS2) top my gallery and was told that I am not permitted to upload such a file.

Just wondered if anyone had any idea why not?

Thanks,

Cissy

[Guest Alder]

what file type is it? If you saved the image as a .psd file than it will not upload...

[Guest Chrysee]

Ah! Just like the Imagine FX site to which I belong. Everything must be jpeg. I never thought of that, but am making the change now, and shall be posting away, post haste!

Thanks so much, Alder.

You're more than welcome hun! I have the issue so often with my random savings of random things

[Guest Jo-I-Dunno]

I thought I'd share another quick doodle I made today.

This actually looks more like my dad when he was young than me (everything's thicker). Maybe I should work out more... I always avoided exercising before starting HRT because I'd bulk up too quickly. Now that I have low testosterone, there's no excuse.

Anyways, yeah, I like the soft but muscular look. I wish pop culture had more images like this.

[Guest Chrysee]

Jo,

I love the anime eyes!

Now put that in Photoshop and paint it. You could also delete the notebook lines.

Thanks for sharing.

[Guest GabrielMori]

Did this just now. Bluh.

((This is not me atm, but hopefully will be once I get my haircut.))

[Guest Chrysee]

You've captured a good Andro look.

[Guest Delphinus]

I was toying with getting my ear pierced when I drew this... I'm still toying with the idea, actually. Anyway, here's me!
