Ethelune Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Both of these are sketches I've finished, but aren't quite good enough to be featured on my deviantART or Fur Affinity... so I thought I'd let you folks see them, since they're both Neopets-related and I always love commentary. :laughingsmiley: Image removed. This was done in mid 2009 and features my Rowanan surrounded by some of my friend's Neopets and Petpets. I'm not looking for critique, since I can tell what needs to be improved... but I do want to show it, since I love how well it characterizes each pet's personality. ^_^ Image removed. This one was done using Photoshop in the past month or so. I thought this would be the perfect look for Rowanan... but then I realized the Sassy Red Wig and Blue Newsboy Hat can't be worn simultaneously. :sad02: Also, I apologize for the obnoxious watermarks. I don't usually add them, but I'm familiar enough with the Neopets community to know how common art theft can be. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Aww these are great!! :D He's adorable! :wub_anim: *huggles* Ugh I totally wish you could layer hats and wigs....so much customizing potential! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethelune Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. ^_^ I agree. Alone, the Blue Newsboy Hat looks so plain... and, on its own, the Sassy Red Wig makes Rowanan look... well, quite flamboyant, to say the least. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 These are really cute. I love the personality they give your Shoyru. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atta Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I love the design you gave to your shoyru :O I especially love the fact that he has a bit of fur :D That is such a cute idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I love the personalities you get from the eyes from the group shot. The red bruce is hilarious, like its saying "psh, as if I'm not featured at the center" The little blue petpet at the bottom is super cute too.

Ethelune Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thank you for the compliments, everyone! I really do appreciate them. ^_^ The red bruce is hilarious, like its saying "psh, as if I'm not featured at the center" Thanks! That's Imposturkey, one of my friend's pets. (The original Turkey being the Bruce in the center.) I really need to draw more of them, since I love the dynamic relationship they have. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Omigoodness, these are great! I wish I had such talent... What do you use to make them? (Other than Photoshop.) Oh, and quick note on watermarks: They're not so bad if you lessen the transparency a little. Enough to discourage art thieves, but not so much that it interferes with the image. I usually use about 23-27% when watermarking images for guides. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethelune Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Aw, thanks! ^_^ I drew both of these with a Wacom Intuos3; the first one was done in Flash CS4, while the second was done in Photoshop CS4. I used about 15 to 25% transparency for these, I think. It was my first time watermarking, so I know they're not too great. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Aww these are great!! :D He's adorable! :wub_anim: *huggles* Ugh I totally wish you could layer hats and wigs....so much customizing potential! I know! How can you wear a hair pin without hair anyways? :D I agree, the drawings are nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Girl Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The pictures are great! You have a really wicked style and I love the detailing in the fur in the second one, really brings it to life :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethelune Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thank you, all! ^_^ I'm working on a picture of a Darigan Chomby (which will hopefully become Rowanan's new profile picture, assuming I can save enough for a morphing potion and paint brush), and your comments give me the confidence to try submitting it to the Art Gallery for the Chomby Carnival... assuming I can finish on time, a'course. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
