[Art] Mousey Machinations (Updated 11/30/11)

[Keleth]

I really like the soft shading you got going on.

Really adds a sense of 'softness' to the pictures I can't quite explain.

Ah, thank you very much! I'll continue working to improve the quality you see here!

[Nyil]

The result of tonight's stream! Full sizes here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6757327/ and here: http://mouseymachinations.deviantart.com/#/d4eapw3

A tutorial can be made available if anybody asks!

[Keleth]

Is it strange the first thought was to notice the background of stars and think how pretty it is?

yeah it's 3 AM. I'm hitting the hay now.

Thank you very much! Hilariously enough, I spent like 30 minutes throwing shit on a canvas and just reworking what I had planned originally since the original background no longer fit. I'm glad the new background worked out!

Do you work out by any chance, Llearch? Are you sexy and you know it? That picture of you doing the wiggle was preeeeetty wiggly.

Yes, but not in the gym, sadly. And probably not in the way you're thinking.

... I didn't see you posting that anywhere, by the way. It's no good as a troll if you don't show people.

Yeah but... I don't want to get banned

[Nyil]

Updated for more shadows and contrast and DO NOT TRUST THAT SMILE.

Listen not to the mouse. He may be good at art, but totally lies. o:

You're bad at getting yourself deleted, good sir ;P

[Damaris]

Yes. Yes he is.

Love the look on his face - he's planning something.

[Kenji]

Yes. Yes he is.

Love the look on his face - he's planning something.

You just love the plan.

[Janus Whitefurr]

Yes. Yes he is.

Love the look on his face - he's planning something.

You just love the plan.

You couldn't plan your way out of a paper sack.

[Nyil]

Ladies, ladies, enough bickering. You're all pretty.

[Nyil]

A little speedpaint, because I want to melt someone's face off with cute one day. I think I'm on my way.

[Kipiru]

Awesome lighting on the hair I don't know about cute, but sad is at 100%

[Nyil]

It's been FOREVER since I've fooled around with markers, so I thought I should do a little something something with them for funsies before getting started on MFF badge commissions.

Gift for Kenji. I got my tablet baaaaaack <3

[Nyil]

Speedpaaiiiint, two layers

[Kipiru]

Great lighting on the hat! You've skipped out on the large ears you usually make for your characters on this one, but it makes it look more natural    The arm though needs more work. Still- awesome job.

[Nyil]

Well, it WAS a speedpaint - basically cram a long process down into thirty minutes, with two layers. Sadly, anatomy is something that will have to be worked on next time. The huge ears aren't gone, either - just stuffed into the hat.
Thank you for reminding me to solidify my fundamentals a bit. Sometimes the basics do tend to escape me.

[Nyil]

Another really quick speedpaint! Full sizes:

Banned, sir? For posting your artwork? Whatever grounds would I have to ban you?

Heck, if _I_ banned you for posting art making fun of me, I suspect Mao or Darkmoon would promptly revert the ban. And laugh heartily at me. And rightly so - if I don't have the stones to laugh at myself, I'm in the wrong place. ;-]

I enjoy your speed paints. There is a rough quality to them that I really like. Polished compositions are nice, also, but sometimes seem sterile, lacking personality, almost "cookie cutter" in presentation.

Your speed paints have soul, personality. I hope you continue to evolve your art and share it with us. Thank you!

[Nyil]

Thank you so much! There's something so sterile about a lot of really high technique digital art, it's something I'd really really REALLY like to avoid. The cautious sterility is just... lifeless to me. I'll continue to work on improving, so I can inject even more life and style into what I do!

[Nyil]

Speedpaint for Tony - I had something else I just finished, but I don't... know if I should post it here. Oh well, full size speed paint found here:
