Izzy ♥ Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 This is my first serious attempt at drawing a Xwee (and also the first time I've used the pen tool to draw) - its meant to be my snow xweetok Brynde ^_^ I'd really like some feedback, since I've been staring at it for the last four hours so I have zero perspective on it now xD Suggestions and such very welcome, please be honest about it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Well I'm no expert or anything, but I have to say that your drawing is simply AMAZING! :thumbsup: Not much else I can contribute unfortunately. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Darkest Faerie Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Exactly the same here, AA. :) I just love Xweetoks, Pteris and Kacheeks, and I must say that looks like the real thing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephé Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Its beautiful! (Sorry I can't think of another word :P) Snow neopets are so cute in my opinion....I might paint one of my pets for the avvie next year. From looking at the drawing, the legs look kind of different to what I expect a xweetok to have, sorta like a gelert's :P But other than that GREAT!

Captain Awesome Pants Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 That is AMAZING. Simply adorable. Better than anything I could ever do digitally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy ♥ Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 Thanks guys :* I love the pen tool in Photoshop, its awesome at making my lines all smooth ^_^ From looking at the drawing, the legs look kind of different to what I expect a xweetok to have, sorta like a gelert's :P Ahem, I'm used to drawing dogs... I guess it comes through :P I will try to find a different animal model for the body next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Darkest Faerie Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Can you draw my Christmas Wocky Very_Wockilicious if possible, Izzy? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempdisplay Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Brilliant! Great pic and nicely drawn. I wish I was that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Yea, there's probably something about legs... I'm not sure though. But I still love your artwork Izzy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naalaro Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Very nice flow of movement and excellent character composition, the anatomy especially, is spot on. Perhaps you could work on the placement of the paws and shoulder joints, but they are very minor. A great drawing. What it needs is more oomph though other than the character itself. I suggest drawing on clothes, adding other forms of decorative or environmental compositions etc, to make this stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micamone Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I think she(he? XD) is beautiful. I LOVE IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Awesome Pants Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Like you said, your dog-drawing skills show through, but it's sort of subtle. And that's what makes this such a good piece of artwork while still being unique and different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy ♥ Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Thanks for the feedback everyone :) And yes, Brynde is a girl xD Very nice flow of movement and excellent character composition, the anatomy especially, is spot on. Perhaps you could work on the placement of the paws and shoulder joints, but they are very minor. A great drawing. What it needs is more oomph though other than the character itself. I suggest drawing on clothes, adding other forms of decorative or environmental compositions etc, to make this stand out. Ahh yes, I was mostly just working an adoptable-type design... eventually, I do want to draw in Brynde's dark faerie outfit ^_^ Never having drawn a Xwee before though I wanted to see if I'd gotten that right first lol Can you draw my Christmas Wocky Very_Wockilicious if possible, Izzy? :) 0:) I'd never drawn a Wocky before either so I used a TNT image to work from... hope thats okay.

The Darkest Faerie Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Wow. That is very good! I'll copy and paste this into my topic, as someone else is designing a Wocky for me. I'll vote the best one once she's done. :) My precious Very_Wockilicious is finally in art! Thank you so much! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jun Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 On the xweetok issue, i think it came out very nicely, but i am going to be honest. It looks great, but i feel like the eyes could have has a bit of work, They seems a bit jaggy. your using Flash? If that is the case, when drawing, try to notice mistakes ahead of time (Im not calling it a mistake.) Because i think using the eraser on that program can mess up line work very badly, If its photoshop, try to use the Line tool, It actually can make wonderful curves too, if practiced enough But besides the eye, i really do like how well the image is. the colors worked out well and majority of the line work is nice and smooth.

Feather Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I think it looks great! I might be biased though, I have a snow Xwee myself :P The nose struck me as slightly off at first. Mostly because I'm used to Xwee's having more triangular noses rather than oval, but I think it's fine! I loooove the really smooth pen lines. I should learn how to use the pen tool.

nEssiEbEllE Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Wowza o_O that is uh-mazin! n neopets, I feel that they don't have enough colors for Xweetoks, but anyway, that xweetok pic is simply perfect! Great job ;D The wocky picture is great, too! You rock at making these types of pictures ;D (I'll all over the Xweetok one cuz I have a sketch one) xD buhbye :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Oh my goodness, those are both AMAZING!! I half-expected the Xweetok to walk right out of the computer (albeit on slightly dog-like legs, but that's already been mentioned.) And great use of color on the Wocky. Simply amazing! ~ Livvy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Cat Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I think it looks really good xD Definitely better than my 2-D drawings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ΩCCΩ Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I loved both of the pics. they are both amazing, but there is something about the xweetoks eye though i dont know what exactly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I loved both of the pics. they are both amazing, but there is something about the xweetoks eye though i dont know what exactly.. Something wrong about the Xweetok's eye, you mean? Because I was going to say: That Xweetok picture is simply amazing. I especially love the eyes: they look lively! They're my favorite thing about the picture. :) They look so shiny. Hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amitybelle Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Wow, that is AWESOME! I think the Wocky is great too but Xweetoks are better all round^^. If you hadn't had said you'd drawn it I would have thought it was a genuine 'Neopets made' drawing. What program do you use to draw them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Milli Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Izzy~ You are SUCH a good drawer! I can't think of anything bad to say about it appart from the fact the eyes are a bit wierd... But I think that is just how all of the neopets eyes are. Also the front right foot looks a bit off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy ♥ Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 *blushes* Thanks everyone ^_^ The eyes I tried to make a bit "rough" since Snow pets have stones for eyes... how they see out of stones is beyond me, but thats what I think they are anyway xD What program do you use to draw them? I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS4 at the moment :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureTXTurkey Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Wow the forum has so much creative energy tonight. I love it. Your Xweetok looks great as far as I'm concerned. Of course I'm a fan of the breed so I might be biased. What I really love about it are all the little details and the shading. Sometimes when people do things with the pen tool, or something really from scratch, you can see the strokes, and I don't see the strokes on yours. If I absolutely had to pick something to improve, assuming that you posted it because you weren't quite happy, I would repeat what everyone else said about the eyes, they aren't quite the same caliber as the rest of the image. Although I agree with what you said about the eyes being coal. They could be a little rougher than the rest of it. Anyway, It's way better then anything I could have done. Thanks for sharing, and please keep creating, your great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
