my latest graphic

Hello!

You may not remember me due to my absence here, and I'm reaaaaaally sorry for not posting anything at all. I was kind of busy with school and I didn't make any graphics anyways, so yeah. But hey, here I am now.

So if you're a follower of my blog, you may be aware of the fact that my tablet is broken, and it might take me quite a while to get a new one or whatever I'm going to do. So I've attempted to make a graphic with my mouse, which I've lastly done more than half a year ago, and here's the "result" or however you'd like to call it:

To be honest, I love the shorts, and I think the shoes turned out pretty good, but I'm not quite sure about everything else...
And yes, I know how odd the leg on the right looks, it wouldn't look as heavy if I was able to blend it. And I'm everything but a fan of the most basic leg shading, and I prefer that heavy leg over pretty much any totally basically shaded leg lol. 

I'd greatly appreciate every comment and any kinda criticism.

Unfinished

So I was planning on working on a banner for my blog's upcoming makeover, however I kept on running into different obstacles (especially skin shading and hands), so I decided to give up. Maybe I'll finish it later and add it to my graphic's blog banner... but we'll just have to see.

I know, its ugly... the sad part is I love the dress, but it doesn't go at all with my medoll's complexion at all. Maybe I should just change my skin tone a tad so it'll be easier to work with for graphics and whatnot... she's ugly anyways LOL

Hair Practice

Nothing special, just working on some hair. I don't know if I like it, the gap looks odd between the shoulder and hair but meh it's only the hair I was working on. Excuse the body lol, it's a random outfit from the last Flora collection I had on my computer to stick the head onto. I'll work on this graphic a bit more and show you later, hopefully it'll look half decent then haha.


It sucks I know haha, but practice makes perfect I guess.

Header for Pin Up Model

I was asked for a header for Pin Up Model (it's russian blog). Here it is:

I'm not a huge fan of it, and I don't like the face (the model is Gmonster), but still, it isn't the worst graphic I made.

And, btw, I won't post anything in summer, 'cause I'm going to my country house. There's no connection with Internet, but I'll take my laptop & tablet there, so in the beginning of fall you'll get heaps of the graphics from me ;)

Comment, please.

Super Copier X 100

Today I don't have any graphics for you, but I wanted to write about a person who you could call a "super copier." A while ago I followed this graphic designer thinking she had real potential (not that her graphics are "great"). I'm glad I did follow her blog because of something serious, something that we see daily... the infamous copying.

This user goes by the name of "ladymiszel12" and has a graphic blog showcasing many different graphics all supposed made by her... however that is definitely not the case. Take a look at various graphics she's stolen from different graphic designers.

Though copying once isn't unusual, but copying almost every graphic-- now that's unheard of! Some she might have coincidentally used the same reference picture as others, but when almost every single detail looks similar, now that's just rude.

Have you ever been copied before? Let us know your take on plagiarism.
 Oh, and btw, sorry for the blurriness, I was using paint since I don't have much time to post.

Long time no post

Hey, it's Maria after being not writing for a long time. I just was very busy with my magazine, and now I'm almost free. I've just finished a graphic which I'll probably use for my graphics blog (which wasn't updated for ages):

What do you think? It isn't very summery, but I love it.

Comment, please.

At the Beach!

I'm at the beach!

hehe;)

Not much to say about this graphic except:
I hate it and I want it to virtually die. It's a load of crap, to me anyways...
