Title: [Art] StarRunner's Bin of Mixed Nuts (Dan Ti'Fiona - Nov 14)
Post by: James StarRunner on November 15, 2010, 02:21:01 AM
The old thread has broken image links from cleaning up and the index was getting fairly long. I'll likely add voice-acting unrelated to the DMFA Radio Project here as well.

First off, I don't think I've ever put up any DMFA art up in the forums. So now I give you Dan! :3

Whew... First time using a tablet to do all the inking. Remind me though to upgrade from Photoshop 7. >.>

Oh, it looks really nice. I like how Dan's face turned out. His right hand looks a bit off, though, but hands are always a nuisance to draw. Overall, it looks great. :>

Nice rendition.  Was it drawn entirely on tablet, or done on paper and then inked and coloured digitally?

I know I said so before, but thanks Ren. :3

Funny you should ask because you commented on the pencil sketch awhile back. :B

But ya, this started out in pencil, then I scanned it and traced over the lineart with my tablet.

i don't know how i missed this o.o

Anyways, as already said, nice job with the face, and the hands.  Perhaps try adding some lines for the knuckle creases... i think it may help add a layer of depth to the hands.

Also, good job with the coloring... it's never been a strong-suit of mine :3

He reminds me of what Dan might look like if he was put on a children's show. Also, this has been on my mind since I saw his hand... Dan's gone Fraggle! :D

Also, I like the way you implied feathers. I usually have a problem with that.

Oh base colouring is easy. It's the shading/highlighting that terrifies me. :.

This is actually an older sketch that I finally coloured, but I may do something like that later. Maybe even shade. >.>

Gone Fraggle? What do you mean?

I think I still have a long way to go with wings and feathers though, but thanks. :3

The three-finger-thumb combo. Fraggles have the same.

Same with almost every DMFA character. :P

It's interesting to note that Weres in human form have the full five digits - most Being-like anthro characters have four, but hoofed characters such as DP, Kria and Regina usually seem to have two fingers and one thumb.  (The Demon girl on the demonology page, and the (part?)Demon guy in 909 have 3/1 like a Being).

I had this nagging feeling I'd seen it before somehow...
