Don't forget my 6k kiriban, screen shot it and win a free commission!

I have become a bit over whelmed with the work load I set before myself. I have a lot of half done projects and I'm trying to wrangle them all. If I promised to trade with you, or join your contest and you are not listed below PLEASE notify me, I am only human.

Now onto the main attraction!

This week's feature is my amazing photographer friend ! His shots are truly amazing, he has a true and open minded love for nature, and it really shows. Share a slice of how he sees the world through his view finder, you'll be a better person for it!

captured my kiriban at 5,500! Don't fret, I'll continue to do them every thousand, the next being 6,000 for free commissions, I really enjoy them!

Not much else new, I have several more animals of my ancient and dusty 100 animal challenge ink lined and ready to digitally color when I find time, Lots of contest uploads half done and right around the corner. But as always, I'm up for trades and commissions so don't hesitate to ask!

First off, as no one claimed 5,000 kiriban I am accepting a screenshot at 5,500 for a free commission. Catch it and win!

I have decided to (or do my very best) feature someone each week. I want to do this because I have met so many wonderful people here on DA, and I want others to appreciate them as much as I do! I don't want this to become a popularity contest though, if you'd like to be featured feel free to note me, but for the most part I will feature artists that I not only have had the pleasure of conversing with online, but who have befriended me and whose work has touched my heart. Without further ado, my first feature is

She not only excells at fine painting, but also photography and some very beautiful writing! You will be hard pressed to find a nicer person please drop by her page

Okay so first off no one has come forth to claim my 5k kiriban. Therefore, the new kiriban page views number is 5,500. If you catch it, take a screen shot and link it to me to redeem it for a free commission. No reasonable request will be denied, aka no oil on canvas If you want traditional and toss me a few bucks on paypal I'll even fork over the original

Now onto my stupid questions, I am in need for digital advice!!!

I am very curious how others save their photoshop works. I have always scanned my images as jpg and saved them as such in photoshop, but I am noticing undesirable pixalation in my pieces that take longer to complete due to being more detailed. Also if I should have the photoshop file as something other than jpg should I also save the original line art as something else from the scanning?

Also, what is your favorite color? (I had to end such complicated but silly questions in a fun manner!)
