  • Yup. I'm posting my art now. I've done some doodles in an 80x80 pixel canvas to try my hand at tiny art, and I like how it's turned out. Feedback is appreciated.
    Uploaded in the order created, for all it matters right now.
    A random potion of some sort:

    A dragon? Maybe? Some form of critter:

    An IO game inspired bubble art. You can thank my little brother for this one:

  • That looks really intricate...you've done a great job. :)

    I'm curious, how did you decide what your fursona was to start with?

    Why thank you!  :P

    As to how I found my fursona, it was actually a developing thing. I'm actually very catlike in my day to day life, to the point where people who know me will pet my head for no reason, so I knew the base was gonna be cat. She actually started out as a black cat, like full on black, until I realized just how hard it is to draw black characters, because the lining gets so annoying. I tried adding brown details but I did not end up liking that at all. It felt forced. So then I lightened the fur (Dark grey) and added the first spots (Black). Later on I realized that the character I had created, while nice, wasn't exactly right, and didn't reflect as much of me as I wanted her to. Most of my other characters that I use in writing contain some dragon aspects, which must say something about me, right? And so I gave myself wings and changed the tail. From there I built on my ideals and the new coloration was born.

    ...I don't know if that even makes sense to anyone but me.

    It made sense to me...it sounds like at least to you coming up with a fursona was a fairly personal thing that you put a lot of thought into over time. :)

  • So I did a bit of RP inspired art, and this is the result. My rendition of the planet our characters a currently trapped on. Still wondering if I should have cleaned up the landmass a bit for sharper edges or added islands. I didn't like rivers, but perhaps I could have done lakes?

  • I think it's awesome, and really colourful for being in space, too. ^-^

  • This one ended up being really big, and I still don't know why I did them all like this instead of separate, maybe because working in oddly shaped spaces is more fun? This took about 40 layers to do not counting lining or other deleted layers. Twas fun.

  • I haven't posted much as of late cause I can't finish things anymore. I got this one done today. Tried something new with the eyes, not sure if it'll stay. You'll see it again when I get to post the other piece I have done, but I can't show people that one yet. I'll probably shift back to the other eyes cause not having the white is a little creepy looking, but adding it isn't any better. Or I might try another style.

    On a happy note, I learned I was using the app I use for drawing all wrong and there is a whole section I didn't know existed, so I was able to do so much more with shadows and color than I have before.

  • Very impressive as usual! I'm curious, with your talent for drawing people and things, have you thought of doing something like a webcomic? I could imagine that style working very well in a webcomic.

    First off, thank you! Second, I did try, but I can't pose people well enough right now, so it's on the back burner while I practice a bit more.

    Here's something I've been working on, and I've included a few different stages because I find it cool what happens as I work through the various stages.

    And I ended up with this:
    sorry, it's big
    Still playing with lighting, but I'm fairly pleased with the end result.
