I've read a very small amount of fanfics.  I usually avoid 'em either due to them being just plain uninteresting, cliched, chock full of crappy prose, Mary Sue characters, bad dialogue, etc.  I've started reading some fanfics, but would stop and move on as they won't hold my interest.  At all.  Or the characterization is horrible.  Or the prose is [parasitic bomb].  Or the dialogue is bad. 

Every once in a blue moon will I come across a decent fanfic with decent prose that I will actually employ in my writing.  That rarely happens, though.  And I need to have suffered read through several bad fics just to find one good one. 

For reference to prose and structure, you're seriously better off sticking to reading published, professional authors.  Eragon doesn't count.  It's just published fanfiction.

Alrighty, I started on a shading tutorial.  For a more detailed tutorial, I suggest picking up Drawing Crime Noir for Comics & Graphic Novels by Christopher Hart.  Since the crime noir style focuses on heavy shadows for mood, then it's a good reference.

Anywho, to start with, I just did some simple facial shading on Vixy. 



The first image has no shading and Vixy seems rather blah.  The second image I put the light source in the above-right corner.  The shadows fall just under her brows, right (her right, your left) cheekbone, nose, lips, and chin.

The third image I adjusted the light source so that it was further to the right.  This made the shading more pronounced, putting most of the right (her right, your left) side of her face in shadow.

Fourth image has the light source directly above her.  Shadows fall beneath the brows, her nose, in the corners of her mouth, and under her chin.

Fifth image has two light sources, one on either side.  This reduces the intensity of the shadows and puts them in in the middle of her face. 

The sixth image has the light source on the lower left.  When lit from below, it alters the mood of the image.  Shadows are above her cheeks, bridge of her nose, and the top of her head.  This angle is usually reserved for illustrating villains, mad scientists, and other baddies.  Works for conveying mood when drawing frightened or psychotic people, too.

Hrm, yeah, the leg shading is a bit off.  I've been meaning to fix it, but forgot about it in a rush just to finally finish the image.



Nixed the background til I can think of something.

Fixed the leg shading again.  I think I finally figured out the problem with it.

I've been to three cons.  The second one, I met Scott McNiel and he signed my Wily. 8D

Cons are awesome, no intimidation at all, since everyone there is a nerd.  Though, cons can be pricey, 'specially if you need to travel out of state just to attend.  Also, if there's stuff there you wanna buy, it'll get expensive.  Be prepared to save up a good bit of cash and to blow it all before the con is over. 

Also, avoid the rooms with the CCG players.  They smell horrible.
