I do a lot of fanart because I like it. My art isn't that great. I also like to write. Mostly fanfiction. I'm pretty boring and you should leave now.

My Snivvy group is live! I'm happy to finally have a Sniv group on DA. It'll be easier to maintain then my webpage was, and it'll still be a fine collection of Snivilicious goodness. So come join and shit. :P [link]
I probably won't put a bunch of my own art in there. Maybe a few of the less creepy pics. Heh.
I might make a Talespin group one of these days too. Maybe... *lazy grunt*

Greetings, Lupienne.

I have a mild request. I possess zero command of use of color in traditional media, but when thought of strong, bold coloring arose, you were first to leap to mind.

I've long had a liking of your textural, rich coloration, and both dark edges and those light, white highlights. To that end, might I ask what brand and make of materials you use? You've listed them from place to place in your artwork, but I'd be lost as to which would contain the information I need.

... I'm not confident that I'll actually be able to accomplish anything with my efforts - maybe just some of that frustrated learning-effort artwork - but I'd like to use any similar materials to yours in some small projects of mine.

I'd be glad for anything and everything you have to share, Lupienne! Thank you for your time. =)

Heh, I'm actually working on a huge photo and text thingy of all my art supplies. I'm kind of an art supply hoarder, actually O.o
But let's see...
Well for outlining and getting the dark edges I usually use an ink pen like a micron [link] .08 is the biggest nib size, or the Zig pen which is very similiar. [link] The important thing is that they're waterproof, though if you outline last that's not always a problem. Oh and black colored pencil makes a good outline too. Also, just good ole regular Sharpie markers!
White highlights. Well, the Sakura gelly roll pen is one of the best for that [link] (I don't think this webstore actually has the white one though. XD) All the above stuff are in any art store, usually in the scrapbooking section. I think I've seen the micron pens in Walmart too XD Anyway, the gelly roll is what I typically use to get all the white highlights and lines in all my stuff.
If you want a textury white highlight, an oil pastel is good. I haven't tried many kinds, the ones I have are Sennelier brand and they're very soft and blendable. ^^ And also, white acrylic paint makes a good highlight too. Any kind will do, but the more fluid type might work best. They're usually in the scrapbook section too; actually I think some Walmarts have those too.

As for colors, I really like to try a ton of stuff, but my overall go-to stuff is watercolor and markers.
Any kind of watercolor is good for starting out and practicing.

Markers can get expensive XD My fave brand is the Chartpak. [link] They blend together really nice and they last a long time. The con is that they're incredibly stinky. Really potent. XD People around you will complain :P Also, they don't make a really hard-edged line, so I use in them in combination with other markers. There's a ton of different brands out there, but Prismacolor is the cheapest while still being an 'artist grade'.

And my new favorite thang is drawing inks, which can be used instead of watercolor too. Since they're just liquid ink and all. There's several different brands of those too (and I just bought some more O>O!) but the ones I've had for a while are Winsor & Newton [link] I would recommend Ebay if you're going to buy some. The art stores wayyy overcharge for them, and I've seen them for much cheaper on Ebay. ^^ Dr Ph. Martin is another good brand.
Sooo that's the main stuff I usually use. But I love talking art supplies so feel free to ask about anything ^^

Well,that is certainly an amount of information to digest!

Little as I've done with any traditional colorization, it will be even more to begin to implement, myself!

In any case, you certainly have my thanks for sharing such a richness of information! I will consider that if any skill at all comes from my efforts, you can rest as one of the benefits to that development. :thanks:

No problem! I think the best part of trad. art is all the experimenting and mixing of medias you can do ^^

XD There is one thing I forgot to mention, though, and that was paper! ^^ There's a million different types but a really good all-purpose one is Strathmore vellum bristol. You can use pretty much any media on it with good results. [link]

Have fun and I'm looking forward to more of your art as always ^^

I guess you don't have one picture with Snively doing the MARGARINE joke. Maybe place some magarine on his head.

I was going to do a margarine picture with Sniv and Antoine a long time ago, but it was kind of along obsene, slashy lines. Hehehe. Be glad it was never done ;)

How sad :D

However, I tried to contact MaRaMa about 3 months ago, and she still didn't answer. Already tried to write another mail 2 months ago and still nothing.
Probably you know what is going on? Did Robotnik finally catch her?

Well, she's still on Facebook. I guess she's having some problems with her back being in pain. I'll send her a note on there and let her know you're trying to reach her :)
