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

Conbadge: Damn, those are some very fine hands. The eyes seem super-wide-open... I don't know if that's intentional or not, or just part of your style. The rest of the face and figure has some very nice, subtle, expression to it tho.

Most of your work doesn't have a lot of contrast... that probably has to do with the media, but I figured I'd mention it.

...Those tunes are going on my iPod, by the way.

Oh yeah. I was basically just doing this as a way to see how fast I could get a full color thing done, so when I have to do it for, say, a con, I could crank them out relatively quickly. I plan to at LEAST get some white gel pens for highlight scribbles. I could always do some of that high contrast inking, though. I'd shade with the markers, but I don't have enough colors for that

Also, if you like that music, I suggest you check out Baal Tinne - they don't have anything on youtube, but check our their myspace page. Now THAT is some fine music.

Little picture taken on my phone for fun - my new tinwhistle is in that shot!
Speaking of music, here's another upload of my band:

A few things about this before you click the link:
1.) It was recorded on my $20 tape recorder during practice, and in the first ten seconds you can hear me kick it across the floor by accident.
2.) It's being taken down in a few days 'cause it's just a scrap - you can hear people singing along in it, because we haven't played that set in YEARS and we were all playing by memory

That being said, enjoy! (for the record, I'm one of the fiddles in that - the one you can HEAR)

[Gabi]

Wow, that sounds really great!

[Kipiru]

Amazing pencilwork- such clear lines! And the characters look like they can tell their whole story just by the pose! Awesome!

Fursona bookmarks, thinking of selling these alongside conbadges. What do you guys think?

If you want a bookmark or a conbadge of some sort, just shoot me a PM here or on FA. I'll keep about five slots open.

Conbadges:
Full Body: $20
Torso shot: $15
Head shot: $10
Bookmarks: $15

Prices include shipping and mailing and all that to the US, but don't include lamination since that kaboodle is really expensive. Sorry.

[Nyil]

My goodness I haven't posted here in forever, I better update with something good!


Traditional art first!

Copic markers and Acrylics


Copic markers, color pencil

And now for some digital art!

Photoshop all the way! It's our very own Kenji, of course!


Fandas have sharp teeth, and are terrifying


Magics!


I think he needs a hug. Y'all need to give him hugs!

[Nyil]

O look some music

Sorry for the poor recording quality! I was a fiddle in both of those!

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I think he needs a hug. Y'all need to give him hugs!

I did! Did you want me to go give him another one?

[Gabi]

Nice music, Nyil! The last one sounds great!

[Cogidubnus]

I only thought Fandas were floofy and cute. Now I realize, they are very pointy. And terrifying.

[Nyil]

Fandas aren't terrifying, they're full of hugs and adorable.

Speaking of adorable, though,


Giftart thing for Damaris! A speedpaint thingie in Photoshop! Hope you like!

That is some very nice hair.
The brown on the left cheek doesn't quite seem to have the dimension that the rest of the cheek has. It looks like it's pressed down (about an inch) compared to the white around it.

[Nyil]

I honestly didn't realize I was dooming this mage to a life of Justin Beiber haircuts until after I inked and colored it. Oops.

Thank you! I'll keep that in mind the next time I do digital painting!

30 minute speed draw doodle!


A cute little something

[Gabi]

Is that you in a staring contest against a plushie? I'm sorry to say the odds are not in your favor.

And I love the last two. The imaginary throne and the expression on the girl's face. Nice dress too, though I can't help but wonder how it stays in place.

[Nyil]

Do you believe in Magic, in a young girl's heart? When the music is playing, and.. blah.. blah blah blah.. something.. something sing songy!


digital painting practice!


More digital painting practice, this time of my friend Nightengale Needles


Moemoe? The heck is that? My name is Nyil!

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Ah, girly-mouse! Most amusing.


Keep up the good work, Nyil. I can see you've been practicing.

[Nyil]

Another stab at digital painting, this time with a full body and a background. Much fun!

Keep up the good work, Nyil. I can see you've been practicing.

Thanks a ton! It's always encouraging to hear that every now and then

[Nyil]

I wanted to try something cuter than usual. Quick 30 minute thing, but it was fun.

[Nyil]

My goal is to eventually get so cute that I'll just melt peoples faces off with the puppy dog eyes. I'll get there one day.

One day...

[Nyil]

Fun digital doodles!

Ever since I first met Mits, I've always pictured him shopping for fine wine at an expensive, classy liquor store wearing nothing but a utility kilt.

Nothing more.

[Sienna Maiu - M T]

I can't say as that mits really gives off that impression, but... *snrk*

Nothing more.

I find your lingering bluelines interesting, but mostly they seem to give the impression of being unfinished. In an earlier "Sound of Music" posting, it sort of gave the impression of tears.
I like the great range and contrast within your works.  Your vent art freaks me out

[WhiteFox]

The kilt looks really off centre, compared to his belt buckle and belly button. His pose seems really stiff, probably because of the limp left arm (his left), and the right shoulder looking like it's pulled up and back.

The shading on the deltoid/latissimus dorsi area looks really convincing. There's a distinct impression of shape and volume. I love the highlight on the bottle, and the vitality in the eyes.

[Turnsky]

The kilt looks really off centre, compared to his belt buckle and belly button. His pose seems really stiff, probably because of the limp left arm (his left), and the right shoulder looking like it's pulled up and back.

that might be the foreshortening throwing you off, also don't forget that since kilts technically don't have any proper means of anchoring in the traverse, that they are liable to rotate slightly, it also depends largely on the article of clothing, which might have the fasteners/buttons off-centre.

[Nyil]

Something a little darker than usual - it was fun!

Here, have some music done in a better recording situation than normal!
