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

[Nyil]

Well, I guess I'll just upload a few things of mine, then!

The first two were colored in a way inspired (read: stolen) from Mab, in that I colored them with markers and shaded them with color pencils. Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils. The last one was just a little fun with the pen tool in Photoshop CS.

[Aisha deCabre]

Heh, those are awesome, and I like how they all came out.  'Specially the one in the middle.   Love the outfit in the first one too.  I daresay you'll fit right in here in the art section.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I love the last one, but then, I'm a sucker for b&w fantastic artwork. Like Frank Miller, for example...

[LionHeart]

Very nice!

A bit reminiscent of "Code Name: Hunter" in the colouring/shading style.

[Nyil]

Hehehe, thanks, guys!

I don't think I've actually ever heard of Code Name: Hunter. I think I might have to check them out, though!

[WhiteFox]

I like the colouring and the linework for all of them. The highlights on the hair are really silky looking. The hands look really good, too.

There's a few spots where the shadows throw me off a bit. The top of the arm in in the first pic, and the light on the legs.

I love your art style, by the way.

Ah, thank you very much! I was thinking the shading was a little odd, myself. I'll keep that in mind next time - I'll shade the sketch before I move on to shading the colored piece just to be extra sure things are working out!

My scanner is broken, which is... why this turned out so very red. In reality, the only red I used was on that cloth. I'm not sure it turned out as well as it could have, though, should I have inked in the outline/folds?

I'm arranging a portfolio for Midwest Furfest, most of which I plan to do traditionally. After about 10, maybe 15 images, I'll do a... less family friendly portfolio, I think.

Another thing for the PG-13 portfolio for Midwest Furfest. Man the rating of that thing just keeps climbing and climbing. Don't worry, nothing past PG-13 will be posted here. Just gotta... let people remember that this stuff is almost, ALMOST NSFW.

A warrior!

He looks mean... if not very well-protected. If he's going to fight in that kind of armor, he'd better make sure no enemy hits him.

I'm sorry, I was lazy, I didn't want to draw a lot of intricate armor ;-; His uh.. rock hard abs are his armor? *coughs* Yes. I'll.. go with that.

[Lisky]

much like with female fantasy armor... he clearly prays to his deity of choice that the enemies aim for the shiny bits X3

[Nyil]

Just for fun, and for Amber, since she seems to be pretty sick. God, I NEVER do fanart, I'm almost afraid to color this.

Fanart for Amber - I just hope she likes it!

I really like the third picture in your first post of the thread. Great proportions, the hair is great, I really like the face, and the theme is portrayed in an interesting way.

A Warrior:
Beeeef Caaake!

The stance of his feet looks a bit stiff to me. Otherwise, the pose is great. That is a kickass sword too, it has a nice balance between fantasy and practical design.

The lighting looks better, too. Using dead black shadows with tonal shading is tricky, though.

IIRC, DMFA canon states that adventurers usually don't bother with armour because demons, dragons, 'cubi, etc. can tear through it with their bare hands. I notice, however, that he is covering his ass. Good thinking. *Sage Nod*

Mink:
D'awww! That is so sweet.

...I'm diabetic you know. This stuff is bad for my health.   

[Merlin]

Gotta say I love your colouring style! Everything comes out so vivid and the shading looks great.

Ach, feet. Yeah, feet tend to give me trouble, though in all honesty this is no excuse - the fact that I know the problem should be enough for me to fix it, but for some reason it's not. Oh well, time for me to do some studies!

I'll put a little more work into the shading - making something dynamic that really pops off the page is one of my goals for the moment, and your critique helps me get closer to that point every day. Thank you for your support!

Just something fun to pass the time

[Gabi]

So cute! I like those flowers, and the violin.

[Inumo]

I envy your skills... My talents with visual media are small... I like how the mouse (your OC?) is doing everything he does with a bell on his tail, and still seems almost carefree (excluding the "here be things that meow" image).

[Nyil]

It's been waaaaaay too long since I've updated here. So here was a little quickie done in photoshop - hope you like it. Full sized image can be found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4222274/

The bell is only scary when there are cats around - ironically, it was a cat who put it there in the first place, and I just decided to keep it 'cause it was cute. Darned cats....

[Lysander]

I really like the picture of you with you playing among the flowers. Flowers look very nice. The proportions are great. Face is very nice. Nice touch with the little bug. The only issue with the picture is the tail is placed so it looks to be coming out of his lower back.

It's been a busy month, but it's not over yet. I might get to post some more sketches once Milwaukee Irish Fest is over.

[Chairtastic]

Hey diddle diddle, the mouse and the fiddle.

Your style of art is amazing.  :o  The critic in me looks for flaws that can't be attributed to artistic style, and finds none.

Bravo.

This is pretty much my vow to draw more often, at least once a day, if only a doodle. I've been rather lazy about that lately.

So, I haven't posted in like ages, and since I don't have any commission stuff that I did during MFF, this isn't going to be a gigantic post. I will, however, have art and some music to upload.

This is a full body conbadge - they'll be available soon for ordering, just $15 for full colors and stuff.


Other than that, here's some links to some tunes the band and I recorded on my little $20 tape recorder - be warned, these are mostly just doodles rather than performance pieces.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4683976/ - Kid on the Mountain, and some air.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4684021/ - more tunes
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4715565/ - improv based on a dandling tune

An Phis Fhliuch, an Irish tune, with me as the lead fiddler. Taped on my $20 tape recorder - Hope you like it!
