Artist's Comments

Okay despite the fact that this image has no background really to speak of, I think this is the happiest I've ever been with my texturing of an image. I tried a much softer approach and changed my technique with this one a bit, and I love the result.

To keep with the soft feel I got from that, I chose to go with very little saturation in the color.

This is my part of a trade with :iconiridescentspiritwolf:. This fellow is her lovely character Alaron, who is a Pheasant-wolf, and has an amazingly simple and original design that I found very inspirational. I. Love. Original. Characters. The world needs more of them.

//Photoshop CS3, about 3 hours. Slooowly getting faster with these.. XD

Your style is very pretty, unique as well. I love that this is one color, really. The pose is very simple yet nice and the picture looks great overall.

My favorite part is definitely the coloring. It's just so soft and smooth. It reminds me of a rabbit that I really want to pet. XD

The fur is amazing, and you know, when you have such a detailed character, it's best to sometimes stick with a simple white background. That way, everyone focuses on the character instead of anything else.

Awesome!

ART IS ART. Stop being so fricking picky.

I really love how you did the fur. It looks soft yet detailed, and the face is just wonderful. :3


btw, if you'd like to, you could start on your half of our trade. And if you give me the character you would like me to draw, I may be able to get it done soon. :) also, you can pick whoever you want to do for your half(out of my characters). :) The refs are at the bottom of my journal. Zyrxy will probably be getting a redesign soon though...

That's somewhat what I was thinking. XD I couldn't come up with a type of background which would really compliment the character well. I was thinking of putting him next to a pond or something... hm.
:iconskepsisfox:
Thank you! I may try doing some more pictures in this type of style, and perhaps tweak the fur technique a bit more.

Alrighty, I'll go ahead and look through your characters. ^^

Pick any one of mine who you feel like drawing, doesn't matter to me, I'd like to see any of them! XD
:iconskepsisfox:
XD hehe he probably wouldn't like having that tail pulled on. And yeah, I was trying to make the feathers not *too* obviously different from the fur.. like.. something where if you look a bit closer to the image you see them. ^^
:iconskepsisfox:
Thanks so much! I did the picture in greyscale first and then added the bit of color that is there now. I'm finding that doing things this way leads to a much softer overall look. XD
