Braden Holtbyby *Que-ink

Digital Art / Drawings / Portraits

Braden Holtby; #70 of the Washington Capitals (Hershey Bears AHL) – Goalie. Tablet-drawn in TEGAKI-E. Finish time: 79 hours 22 minutes.

For Capitalsoutsider.com

Ok, let's start with a round of applause for this guy...he really did a fantastic job for the Caps during this years playoffs...even though, we didn't win game 7 against the Rangers...BUT HEY, that's ok! We're honoured you goal tended in place of Michal Neuvirth and Tomas Vokoun and carried us THIS far...seriously. I just hope he stays with our team this coming season. I've heard some rumours that he might sign with another team...I hope that's not the case!

Anyhow, TegakiE decided to derp out again when I tried to save at the 80% mark...haha, everyone's like, "Que, you broke tegakie...it can't handle your pixel depth". I don't think it's that, because seriously...that site has been acting up since the last major update. I wrote a letter to the administration about it, so let's hope they check into it. A few other high-quality artists on TE have also complained about not being able to save as well. Like I said...seems to be a recent thing.

Either way, the 80% mark will be uploaded on my TE profile and bleached out like my Oshie portrait...I refuse to leave a half-ass painted drawing "open" for you to see the crap detail that never got filled in. I'm still baffled you can keep editing even though the save slot crashes...I'm very lucky, because I don't have editing programs like you fancy artists out there! ...Wait, why didn't I bleach out the Rinne portrait...GUH, I'M SO STUPID. Oh well! This makes three portraits that haven't saved properly!

I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT THIS IS NOT A PHOTOGRAPH. *n*

*U* I was SO cheering for Holtby when he came in to play during the playoffs for the Caps!! He was amazing and I was sorry to see them eliminated... but anyway, beautiful portrait! I'm running out of words to praise you with x)

Yes, he was quite magnificent last season against the
Rangers.

~Tal63 Apr 12, 2013 New member Hobbyist Artist

Braden Holtby is fantastic (the player and the drawing)! You really went all out on the image. I can't believe it's not real!

*Que-ink Apr 12, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

Yes, he's quite an amazing goalie. I'm quite
impressed with how Washington picked up the season
like they did...I can remember just weeks ago they
were down on the list. Totally proud of him and the
team.

Anyhow, lol yes thousands of people mistake
my work for photos on a daily basis haha. In most
cases, I've linked livestream broadcasts with some
of the portraits to prove they're authentic. In
other cases, just about all of my drawings have
been placed around various NHL sites and blogs.

I'm not surprised at all that they turned the season around, although I am a bit surprised at how much success they;re currently having. (But happy about it nonetheless.) There biggest problem was the lockout and having to learn a new system in season so I always knew they'd be fine. XD

But I digress, awesome drawing, keep on being awesome.

*Que-ink Apr 12, 2013 Professional Digital Artist

Yea, and the new coach too. They probably had to
get use to his coaching methods...but yes, I'm
very proud of the Caps and hope they continue
to do well.

It might be out of place to say
they'll win the cup but I'll never give up hope!

And aww thank you! I'll do my best; you do the same!

~Tal63 Apr 12, 2013 New member Hobbyist Artist

They've gotta win it one of these days! They're getting hot at the right time and Winnepeg has played perfectly. Losing a bunch so they can take the lead and winning a bunch to keep the pressure on them.

And thank you! I will. XD

~SolemnStarr Dec 31, 2012 Student General Artist

Amazing! WOW! I hope to one day be at your level!

*Que-ink Dec 31, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Awww thanks! And, if you practice a lot I'm sure you
can reach my level in no time!

Best of luck!
