I just wanted to bump that year old one off the frontpage :D


And I'll pad it a bit because otherwise the DeviantID appears too high up the page and it looks weird.


I rather like playing with the tablet. I haven't done anything hardcore with it yet and I haven't used it all that often but it's a fun toy to play with. Pressure-width sensitivity is an absolute godsend, I think that's one of the things I've always prefered about drawing on paper to computer with the mouse.


I'm still a firm member of the Traditional Media Team though. Drawing's one of my things to do away from the computer. That and a tablet can't replace the smell of loose pastel chalk and graphite :)


Lalala yep I think that'll just about do it.

Umm... Hi... I don't really know you and you don't know me, but I was hoping that I can ask you a few questions. I see that you have made some fairy wings and I wanted to ask what would you recommend to use, fabric or stockings? You see I wanted to make something similar to the vocaloid's magnet song headphones with wings and was planning to use stockings and spray paint, but i read that you found it easier to use normal fabric so I wanted to make sure. The wings should be less than 20cm.

sorry for the long comment
:iconpsyfira:
Hiya, no worries I'm no expert but I'm happy to help :)

The good thing about stockings is that they're cheap, so there's nothing to stop you giving it a try once you've built the frames to see if stretching them over the frame works :)

For the vocaloid set I think the top wing would be fine, but the long swallowtail point on the bottom wing might give you some trouble, it might not be wide enough to stretch a pair of stockings out.

Also, consider how the stockings are going to fit over your frame, you need to tie a knot to close them at the end. If you make the wing in 2 pieces (upper and lower) these knots will hide behind the headphone which is perfect. However if you're making the whole wing out of a single piece of wire the closing point might end up in a visible place. Which isn't the end of the world (I have a set like this) but it's something to consider.
:iconroboazn:
Thank you for the advice and for reminding me that the vocaloid wings had that long end -_- I think i might just leave it out, they will never know :D
