I love how you can draw your characters in such natural, human-looking poses. You make the kind of pictures where no description is needed to understand what's going on, that's really awesome C:

Love these guys' designs, Virgil's especially. Very creative blend of their parent's designs!

Those are actually watch towers. You can see several in the background in the film right after they blow up the factory, and they're doing that dramatic pan / turn-around shot of all the surviving characters, as they stop to look back on the burning-down factory. And you may pick up on a few other similarities between the landscape here and the one during that particular scene in the movie.

yes I know right? (in regards to the delicious beef product)
Hmmmm...you know I must say I don't remember catching them, all I can remember at this point was the...cell towers?
Electical...line...towers....god what were they? I'm sure you know what I'm talking about...relays? Ugh now this is going to bug me.
The point is, it looks very nice, and it is true, you do have a lot of really nice completed character works that just float around in this big white void. Perhaps what you could do since you have a bunch of sketchy unfinished-style things, is get a bunch of sketches of multiple backgrounds and scenery, which you don't have to color and texture and whatnot, and keep a stockpile of them so that when you make a really nice finalized picture of a character, you can access that cache of backgrounds- or possibly multiple pieces of several backgrounds- and put them in with the characters to lose that "white void" look?

That's not a bad idea! I know I've tried messing with wallpaper-looking backgrounds on things before, that didn't turn out half bad. I may have to slink around and amass a collection of stock images to use just for these kinds of situations.

Thanks! And that is quite the coincidence. xD But not a big enough one that I'd accuse you of copying me. People draw pictures of their OC babies grown up alll the time~

EEHEEEE I'm SO glad you're not the only one who draws from unused concepts for certain things. 8'3
I just love these two, they're so cute~ <3 And I feel your pain about uploading sketches with boring backgrounds... Thankfully this one looks stunning~ Have I ever told you how much I absolutely envy your coloring skills? D: I probably have, but still, it never ceases to amaze. <3
It also just ASTOUNDS me how natural the textures look on your punks. I don't know if it's just my eyes playing tricks on me, but the light-play on Bonnie's fabric looks so... amazingly realistic dksfjhaew. Is there some kind of tool you use to get that effect or am I just crazy? .3.

Thaanks~ That all means a lot coming from you, given how amazing your own coloring and backgrounds are. I love looking at all the things that didn't make it into the movie, and sometimes using them in my own 9 art. There are just.. so many things!
Well, as far as the textures go, the herringbone canvas texture I found that I used for Bonnie was quite hi-def. And all I did was set it as an overlay on a different layer underneath the shading and above the flat coloring, and set it so that it was at a lower opacity than 100%. I'm not sure why it works as well as it does meshing with the lighting.

Wow, that's mind-boggling... I can never seem to get it right when I try to texture my characters, hence why I never do it. XDDD I just find it so amazing how natural yours look. <3

This is absolutely beautiful Acro! The textures are great as per usual, but the lighting against them is simply amazing!
