Finally more updates, about 3 actually, which I'll put up soon.



Another set of sketches; this time on my eagle character, Cindy. I've actually had this finished for a while. I'm not sure why I didn't submit this sooner.. ^^;

Also along with the other 2 sketches, I have a recolor of one of my drawings from gimp! I'm hoping to post it here sometime this week as it's almost done. ^^

The sketches look really cute.
Is that Falco's girlfriend? (Looks like she could be, with her laser gun and all.)

lol nope, just an original character of mine. The gun is actually a red- 9, I didn't take the time to detail it though. and thanks.

Oh, I see. ^^
Well, she could have easily been Falco's girlfriend, lol.

You did a great job on her face and profile structure; I was just noticing that. =]

[HowSplendid]

Second drawing.

Decided to practice with some action movements of some kind, so I decided why not use Kate for this. She's becoming a lot of fun to draw now. ^^

She's looking good - though I think you might want to work on the angle just a bit (she seems to be running sideways a bit, meaning that you should see less of her body and more of her side based on how she's running). ^^

[HowSplendid]

I got ya, I'll keep that in mind, thanks! ^^

Time for an update!



A sketch I did for KelbAlrai1990 of his fursona on deviantart.

Well, he looks very studious. XD
Nice job overall, just think his ears are a bit big for him.

[HowSplendid]

I see; I was going by some references of his fursona and they mostly depicted long ears. lol

Here's another update so soon.




I wanted to do some more anatomy practice, but I also thought, "Why not have some fun with this?" This one came out pretty well for a practice that I decided to submit it. I know a few things are off, but this feels more proportional than my previous drawings! ^^. I think this is the second time now that I've put my fox character, Kate in these awkward situations. I'm not sure why she's doing this, but all I know is when ask to put on the bunny tail, she refused, having her own tail of course.

You're clearly improving on your anatomy, which is great.
It's funny how you put that character in positions that she obviously doesn't want to be in, lol.
The price of being a model, right? XD

[HowSplendid]

Just to show that I've been keeping my promise about using gimp, here's what I have so far on a recolor of Felicia from darkstalkers. The only thing that's keeping me from finishing it is the shading, vectoring attempt and the 2 commission I have to do. However, I'm hoping I can get it out soon.



here's the link to the original.

Awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing your works shaded and coloured in GIMP. ^^
Practice will help you get better, but be sure to check out the tutorials we have links for if you need more help. =]

Thank you. I'll be sure to put these to good use.

XD u make me wish i could be more creative...
yeah, i've been trying to practise my anatomy too. it's been rly helping to draw those skeletal-base things.

The bunny picture is funny and makes me smile. : D hehe

The only thing i'd really say tho is that her tail might be want to be drawn lower... and to maybe relax your hand a little more?
It'll help make the lines look smoother and more delicate, and help make her hair look more light.

heh heh it's been a while, well time for a new update ^^;



For some reason I felt like drawing a character with a hat and in the process I ended up making a new character, Sonia, who is a squirrel . :3
I know somethings are off, but it was more of a rushed sketch.

Well time to post an update! ^^



I'm glad to have finally finished Felicia in a digital version, it feels so rewarding! ^^
heh heh sorry it took so long as I was actually working on 2 digital drawings at once; that and I was only using a mouse for this. ^^;

Full shading was more difficult than I imagined..

Now thats what I love to see, great traditional work gone digital!, a good fan art but seems kinda like a waste all that time doing it when it could have been one of your OCs. But its great to see ppl posting all kinds of great art here for us all here to enjoy

Thanks a lot and true I could have done one on my oc, but I'd rather practice on a fan art pic rather than my ocs. I will be working one in a few days, actually ^^

[HowSplendid]

ok time for the second digital drawing.



A Commission of Spike Spiegel done for a friend of mine

I'm glad to finally have this done as it was pretty challenging especially using a mouse My lines are a little unstable, but they're getting better. For my first time at shading at a different sun angle, I think I did pretty well; turns out Cel shading is my favorite. ^^

It's great to see you moving into the digital world with your drawings, and you do it well. ^^

I haven't seen anyone do a Spike fan art in a while - especially on RRR. He looks exactly as I would have pictured him in the film - except the slight difference in proportions (it's good to "make it your own style", and you did it well). =]
