GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAT.
There.
Anyone who has been wondering "are witches only carnivores?" no, they are not, they're any animal

OH LOOK YOUNG OHANZEE!
Some of you might know of this page: [link] Which took place maybe a few months to a year before the events of this flashback. Hence his growing and darkening mane since then.

OH RIGHT. For the love of god, Wakanda and Ohanzee aren't dating and never ever will be xD; Animals like being affectionate, just because your two dogs cuddle while they sleep doesn't mean they're dating amirite >:0 So.. yeah, Ohanzee isn't in love with Wakanda and Wakanda isn't in love with Ohanzee. At best Wakanda views Ohanzee as a dad or uncle. eurgh.

Now go enjoy your damn sunday

Goat indeed! And a rude one too. It's always fun to see the variety of animals you're able to use in this comic.

It's nice to see that sort-of old English style respect from Ohanzee, how he greets Wakanda with a kiss on the hand/paw. He's a really flirtacious character.

Hmm, may I ask what that marking is on Ohanzee's upper back leg? owo;

Yes he is He's an irregular guy.
It's really just an odd mark. He's from a family that praised certain markings and Ohanzee ended up with one that they considered ugly right on his rump :'D

I think it's great that you don't just use wolves or canines and felines in your comic It's annoying when you'd want to make your main comic character a wolf because of your passionate love for them and how much you can relate to them, only to have people yelling blasphemy at you for making ANOTHER wolf comic (not that it's happened to me, but I'd expect it to happen if I were to ever start my comic )

Using several species as characters makes you less bored and more creative and daring with your art - you know more and yadda-yadda. I need to stop making this comment a 400-word long spam.

One question if you don't mind: Do you use the pen tool on Photoshop with your lineart, or is it hand-drawn? O:

Well, maybe because you introduced several species in the beginning of your comic, so people aren't so quick to judge

It's sad because some people actually have really good story plots concerning wolves, but they're subject to stereotyping :/

Just wondering. Do you bring in animals as you see fit or have recently studied, or do you already have the whole cast in mind and go study those?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

AddictionHalfWay In reply to AkaTsukiSakuya [2010-11-30 00:53:49 +0000 UTC]

Both.......... to an extent.
For example, Wakanda's barn owl form I was originally going to pick a crow and study crows but I ended up getting the chance to study barn owls up close and personal so I went with that.
Most of the time I guess I pick animals that are suitable for the symbolism or personality involved and then go study that animal's anatomy to make the character. Hopefully that made sense xD

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

AkaTsukiSakuya In reply to AddictionHalfWay [2010-11-30 01:34:31 +0000 UTC]

It makes much sense

I love researching symbolism, so I kind of research symbolism (of the animal, of the colors, and myths) before I choose an animal.

I love studying anatomy, but perhaps the best part of that is how I freak people out by my reference photos--which includes skeletons, roadkill, fighting, and skinned animals. The skinned ones are the best because it shows the musculature raw. So hard to get, though...

I haven't thought to study personalities much until I got it in my head that I wanted to make a cat comic, so I'm studying cat breeds and their temperament now.

Genetics too in case of varying breeds and the way they mix...

On an unrelated yet related note, I love your tutorials. I always thought there should be a reference, behavior and anatomy Group here on DA. Now it seems to have become a movement. Many people are moving away from the wolf and trying new things. Certain animals seem to be more favored than others; which no one coordinated, nor nor does it seem to be the fault of the popular artists--ironic randomness, is it not (because it breaks the theories of animal popularity once held)?

Symbolism is really fun to work into the stories and characters |D

lmao xD I always wanted to use those sort of things for reference, but yeah, I'm not yet capable of stomaching looking at such photos for a long period of time xux


Oh that's good. I love when people really study animal personalities and genetics (especially since feline genetics and mating in general are pretty different from a canine or equine, etc)

Thank you c: I really hope you're right that people are moving away from wolves. I like wolves, but in small doses xD; eurgh. Although I understand human connection and their feeling of being drawn towards canines, it makes sense we'd be so close to an animal we as a species grew up with (but by that logic we should probably be drawing more goats, pigs and chickens too xD)

I mostly love how you can take myths and symbolism from many different cultures and apply them to different characters of the same species. I'm working on designing characters for a fox comic. They are of many red fox colorations, the farm colors originating from Europe and China, the wild colors in Japan, the domestic variations from Russia (that was fun to study!). I then take the symbolism of the different cultures; Celtic for the European and general area; Asian for the Japanese and Chines;, I have some Native American symbolism there which is mostly for the sparkle-foxes, but those resemble totems, so that's okay. I'm looking for more symbolisms and cultures--probably including the false foxes of South America and giving them a role in myths even if they don't have one.

I find them beautiful. I love seeing how things work and are made. I went to a Bodies exhibition (has human organs and muscles and bones all over the place >w<) and loved it! And people think we're so disgusting on the inside...
I probably couldn't skin an animal myself if I had to, but I will give it a try for sure XD I'm taking painting class and am planning on going into deeper study of foxes and their musculature for the next assignment. It will be a fox having its skin torn off, but the fox is part of a flower, so the petals are fox-colored. It's suppose to mean something along the lines of how humans are so insensitive to the pain of animals, tearing them like they would an unfeeling flower. Let's see if I get it--both of my paintings to date have not come out how I wished.

So difficult to get the colorations desired. Cat breeders know this the most. They don't mix and match like dog markings. Cats vary in shades, but their markings remain static. And solids are incredibly difficult to breed. White patches are harder to breed out than in. Tabby markings present in most colorations, no matter how subtle! But it's so damn interesting >w<
Rarity of a coloration in certain species and families is interesting too. You see albinism common in rodents, but that's probably more to do with their numbers and human selected breedings than actual genetics.
You see many piebald pythons and peacocks. Horses have been bred for this. In other species, it is oh so rare.
What can and can't happen? What can and can't mix? Those are the real questions.

We probably don't draw more towards those because we have to be unsensitized (is that the word) enough to eat them >>; You see the problem with eating dogs? It's not wrong, it's just that people are taught one thing and stick with it. If India were the "America", eating cows would be barbaric. See the problem? On the other hand, using this thinking is useful--like how the people who developed the Russian domestic fox are trying to make people think of foxes as pets rather than fur coats. You would make a dog into a fur coat about as much as you would eat it.

Mkay.

Wow... I can type a wall today. I should use this streak for Nanowrimo!

lgjlgdmldm i wish more people studied all the different individual species and variations to areas :I There are a lot of wolf comics that take place in japan and like...the wolves aren't by any stretch of the imagination the japanese subspecies.
Symbolism is fun

See, I think it's beautiful, but my stomach completely disagrees xD
That's a really cool sounding painting

Oh totally. That and the way they produce means that one litter of kittens can have more than one father.
I didn't know rodents had more common appearances of albinism oAo that's interesting. Very interesting..

Culture can be so weird :'c Well then I really hope that we aren't naturally drawn to drawing canines because of something like us growing together. I'd really enjoy seeing more things drawn than just canines all the time. Or you know, people could be more open minded. I tend to feel restricted by what I can draw because people ignore certain things completely, so the "animal" community only really has interests in a few animals and generally won't be interested in someone who enjoys drawing goats or crocodiles :c Tragic really, it'd be great if the animal community was as diverse as the name implied. So I really hope you are at least somewhat right in that people may be broadening their species pallet.


I enjoyed reading it |D

Wolves are harder to tell apart than dogs, cats or foxes--I swear >>;

Aw XD Maybe seeing more violent movies will help? 8D *shot--thatisalie!* I haven't really watched many violent movies, so that is a cake--I mean a lie.

Most animals that give litters can have multiple sires =C

Wellsee--this is the two ways I see it. One, rodents are like germs, they reproduce faster, therefore, they mutate faster. Experiments have been made with germs in which they are put in situations where they cannot survive. They put a lactose-intolerant bacteria into nothing but lactose. To survive, the bacteria had to mutate to be able to feed on the only available food, lactose. So they evolved rapidly. Theory two, rodents are numerous, of course you'd see more individuals with mutations.

But then you notice that some species tend more to certain mutations and others don't have the mutation present at all. Albino wolves don't exist. The individuals born with this mutation tend to come with some other serious defect related to the albino gene that kills them. You also see that melanism doesn't occur in wolves--black wolves are black because they have mixed with dogs, in which the melanistic mutation first appeared, and acquired the gene.
I also note that foxes do not tend to mutate into lighter colors in the wilds. Lighter colors exist in farm foxes, which have been selectively bred by humans. The lighter colors appear, but seem to be bred out or killed off in the wilds. However, I do see that both the red fox and the arctic fox have a darker phase--the silver fox and the blue arctic fox.
There's also a coloration that is not listed for the wild foxes, only farm foxes, which I have seen photographed in the wild. The burgundy, a kind of chocolate color.
You also see that humans come in all ranges of colors and in yellow, red and something else bases. There are the African darks and then you have the Arctic darks. I read a book about the reasons, but I don't have it here.

There's apparently a parasite that lives in cats and cat lovers infected with them tend to be more dedicated to their cats XD But that could work the other way around. The more you cuddle, the more likely you are to catch it.
ROFL
I know I loved wolves before I came to the internets. There are more species you find to love, but the fanatics also kind of put you off. I myself love hyenas, lemurs, foxes, smew (it's a duck, Google it), barn owl, and the blue sea slug (it's shiny, Google it).

There are also a few Groups popping up dedicated to the less popular animals. Underrated Canines and DA Species RedList (something like that).

Goats and crocodiles XD That's what I've been practicing for the November Art Challenge, where you go and draw what you're least comfortable with for the whole month.

AddictionHalfWay In reply to AkaTsukiSakuya [2010-11-30 05:02:06 +0000 UTC]

Eh, I disagree. Given subspecies of wolf to wolf is usually a rather...vague difference, but the japanese wolves look more like shiba inus than they do a grey wolf. Some of their differences are subtle but I think if someone sat down and really studied it they could really capture -japanese wolf- as opposed to north-american-grey-wolf-that-is-living-in-japan-lol.

lmao xD It's weird, I can enjoy gore movies and I LOVE drawing gore. but like. the rotting remains of a animal and. well i guess I can just picture the smell and whatnot? My dog died in our garage and we thought she ran away and then we found her rotting corpse hidden within the garage clutter. Very gross smelling :I

A lot of species can have multiple sires but it seems to be more common in cats. Like yeah basically any animal that has multiples in one birth can have multiple dad's, but like it's rather uncommon in say dogs.

Ah o_o That's interesting oAo Rodents are pretty interesting.

Yeah wolves are weird (that's actually why Rollo is black, to symbolize him being a wolfdog )
I always found it surprising how often black bears apparently come in not-black. Like in Yosemite something like 95% of black bears aren't black, but instead blonde, brown or auburn. Meanwhile here in new england our black bears are basically always black.
I took an anthropology class so we got to learn about all the different colors and variations within the human species as well |D It is quite interesting. And then we also have albinism. Which is rough on some people o__o because like in africa a lot of albinos are attacked/killed fore their body parts for people to turn into spiritual potions.

WAT o__o that's their soul snatching parasite >:0 I swear cats steal their owners' souls and make them their slaves :I.....not that I'm complaining, serving a kitty is a sweet deal.
(okay I just googled a smew and that's pretty damn great .....and the blue sea slug looks like it should be a pokemon or digimon xD ) Man, if I drew what I liked all the time it'd be a lot of pictures of bears, t-rex dragons, robots and non-anthromorphic cats doing human things (such as playing violins and shooting guns ).......and goats. I like goats

There are those groups and I'm in them but I don't really consider any canine underrated xD;;... although it'd be nice if people stopped thinking hyenas were canines and started noticing raccoon dogs ARE dogs fffff...

That's pretty epic o0o See I just tried a november art challenge and totally blew it off super quickly (designing challenge, 30 characters in 30 days. It sounded fun at first and then i realized I'd have 30 new characters I wouldn't particularly want )
I think there's a 100 challenge like that too.. like it has really random animals on it like the tapir?
Playing with new animals is really great |D

If you sat down with the actual animals. You Google and you get confused because people will be putting random animals and calling them what they're not and it ends up confusing others as well D8

0_______0 Oh...

It's not really rarer in dogs. It's just that people like to get papers for their dogs and these require the litter to have only one sire. Street dogs are different. Cats are generally bred to create a breed standard.

I both knew and didn't know that. Some people don't give meaning to their characters' coloration, so...

I do like the spirit bears >w< Also an interesting mutation to research.

Yeah--I read articles and saw news clips about that.
Speaking of variations--I live in Puerto Rico, in the Caribbean. There's a stereotype about our men being all blacks and the females being all whites. My dad looks mostly black, my mother is white, many couples are like that--yet, we're not quite as dark as they think we are nor do our dark-skinned people have as many african features. We also have very petite dark-skinned people. It's strange to see...
On the other hand, we have our Dominican Repiblic neighbors, which are dark as pitch, but have very mixed features--the least they look is african.
You'll find that people look quite different here, no matter the distances.

I actually can't draw personified animals. Anthro, yes; quad, yes; personified, no. I want to learn to draw like that one day. I always used to like Beatrix Potter's books.
I also can't draw robots. I've gotten it into my head that if I don't know how it works, I can't draw it. I can't paste a bunch of gears and cables and pretend to know what I'm doing. I just feel guilty and like a liar XD

rofl. Well, that's what articles are for. And Wikipedia, no matter how wrong it is in some things.

I'd like to try a daily sketch challenge. Probably with a theme a month.
I want to try buildings, but God knows I'll blow my brains out before I finish a building.

8D It is awesome. Especially when you understand them enough to make a possible hybrid. Possible, as in it can survive, not that it's actually possible XD

Yeah sometimes you really have to search the scientific names to be sure. It's kind of hard to study the japanese wolf since both subspecies seem to be extinct but that doesn't mean people can draw grey wolves in japan and not think it won't bug people like me >:0

Well dogs have that knot-penis thing going for them to prevent multiple sires, where as cats have a barb which can end up encouraging multiple fathers. It'd be cool if dogs had multiple sires more often though xD I mean how interesting would it be to have two puppies in one litter..and one's dad was a great dane and the other was a chihuahua?

Yeah, most of my colorations have something like that going on (like Ohanzee's eye markings are like that to be like "raccoon eye" head injuries)

Yes, spirit bears are pretty :'D
That's interesting o__o...

I grew up on Gundam and Zoids... I'm not really a super good robot artist, but I do enjoy drawing them |D Although I prefer them to be mostly wire, because then you can make their body look like a skinless animal made of metal. Which is insanely fun to sketch just not ink :'D

lmao xD Oh wikipedia...

Yeah, a themed daily sketch thing would be nice... I should probably look into a new monthly challenge I can try out.
ughhh buildings D: I really dislike doing perfect buildings too flgjdlg They always turn out feeling...oddly simple and silly looking, no matter how much detail I put into it e_e;;; I have brushes in photoshop to make any building making easier on me |D;;;

oh man logical hybrids I like when people do that for mythological creatures too... Like my favorite documentary ever was one about basically making dragons into logical creatures. Very interesting.

*Googles the wolves of Japan* OMG--look at that face 8C
The wolves were imported, dur =B
lol
In my comic, there will be species in places where they shouldn't be, but only cause it's an era of globalization. I try not to mess with the origins of the species.

The knot is just to prolong the time and up the chances of at least one sperm getting to an egg. Doesn't make the chances fully nil in any case. Enough males around and multiple sires will happen 00 Male cats tend to fight off other male intruders. Heck, female cats tend to fight off male intruders XD There were many male cats in my neighborhood. My females ended up having kits by the same damn annoying male which I wish would throw himself in front of a car.

My friend has a Labrador and Chihuahua mix... ... ... Weirdest thing you'll ever see.

I tend to make markings a random form, but a meaningful color P=


And inking is already hell for me XD I just go from sketching straight to coloring. Line-less is win! I didn't grow up with much animation influence. Mother swears that Japan is the anti-Christ nation. She let me watch Disney, but I hated Disney--they had too many musicals, which I hated (I like them better now). She let me watch kiddy cartoons, which I hated quite a bit as well.

I'm planning on using 3ds Max to model buildings and practice skinning them instead. It will be quite a project, but I can make anything I damn well please >D
My buildings just tend to look like they're about to fall over...

Ooh =C Great minds. One of my groups has been planning on holding a hybrid contest, and then this [link] tutorial is made. How wonderfully convenient XD

Era of globalization sounds cool c: I don't mind them being in weird locations if there's reasons behind it. Hell, I have a thylacine and Ohanzee running around a wolfdog

Yeah I guess that's true oAo But male dogs too are pretty aggressive of their mating rights.
But I did end up adopting two kittens one time from the same litter.. One was a small tuxedo manx and the other was a big brown mackerel tabby. That was the first day I realized cats can be total whores

dear lord D8 that's an odd mix xD

Those are nice c: Although it's often pointless for me to work that way since I work in greyscale
lmao. You know I've considered doing that but I trip over digital lineless art so much DB
ldmgldrmgd lmao xD that's pretty odd. I suppose at least the Lion King is more or less alike to the japanese Kimba the white lion ....

Man, 3d art always sounds so intriguing, I need to sit down and figure out what I can do with it sometime. Owning a mac with no numpad gets in the way though I need a numpad for most 3d art programs.

Speaking of, the pictures actually remind me of a thylacine, because of the shape of the head XD Might just be a bad mount, though. I've seen those XD Like foxes? The mounts look like dogs. I've seen taxidermy plushes that look more real than the "professional" mounts.

That's true. And male cats only keep a territory for a while, not permanently. They move on after the female is pregnant. Or, in the case of offspring, until the mother chases them off or they finally set off on their own. My cat was pretty moody, so she usually tried to run them off before they were full grown >>;

XD Mine wasn't a whore, she was a bitch. She somehow managed to both attack and mate all in the same day. Well, attack in daylight and mate at night, but yeah. Gawd awful mating calls--didn't let me sleep. Well, you'd often see the male with an open wound, but only when it was obvious, since he didn't come too close. After my original female died, my younger cats started coming home with ugly wounds. They could pwn a dog, but not their father--who was probably angry with the cats of the household just cause of that one female XD

I generally work in greyscale and then replace colors. The coloring is actually easier than the shading, so I can't really complain. I imagine making and remaking markings can get tedious, though. Not cause of the time, but because it's tiring to see the same thing over and over.

Butwhy? =C It's not hard at all. You make the general shading, then you make it darker where the lines would be, sometimes lighter, depending on the lighting. You kind of trace the lines with a soft brush. There are technically lines, but kind of broken. You know when you hold your fingers splayed and the shadow is soft? You hold them together and the shadow it hard and dark, almost an outline? Some people are just afraid of their character blending into the background, but they're kind of supposed to do that. You know efumato? No hard outlines, subject kind of blends with the background, but it makes it look only more realistic, not more fake or invisible.

XD;
I hope to see that one day.
I remember when I was little and mother "caught" me looking at anime movie covers. She told me to stop looking because looking would make me curious and tempt me into seeing them. Fffffffff. Oh, and that they were all sexual. Hurrrrrrrr.

Numpad?

I'll look for it

They certainly do have that lanky feel of a thylacine xD But they mostly look like a skinny Shikoku inu to me But yeah, the taxidermy of them aren't that great :c it makes me sad when there's no good taxidermy of an extinct species.


nice mom-cat you've got there xD;
lmao.. yeah I guess barbed penises don't really feel that great D8 That's one tough dad.

Absolutely. I'm so happy I'm not prone to complex markings. Doing comic page after comic page of someone with a lot of markings would be..so much trouble ;;
That's true oAo I suppose I haven't done it in a while. I mean, I'm not afraid of doing lineless backgrounds (in fact, I love them :'D) so maybe I should try doing a lineless picture again sometime |D....after looking at a few tutorials anyways

I'm sometimes prone to complex markings, but... ones that I can measure. Like... This marking is as long as half the head, this other marking intersects this one like so at such length, this one stops here--not totally random things made of random XD;

Oh totally :/ I'm hard pressed to find anything like that, I imagine they were a wolf that didn't move like your usual grey wolf. It's weird to think that the thylacine actually has more photography and video than another extinct species.

Oh that's good |D kdgdm random sized and made markings can be so much trouble to redraw xD; Or just really oddly complex ones.. I really don't know how some people make complex spiderweb or writing markings, bless their souls.

lmao xD I've been having an urge to draw a bulldog or labrador portrait so I'll likely try making a lineless picture then

I suppose at least she doesn't ban all cartoons from the house. There's a good selection of non-japanese works.
But I'm sorry, when I think of your mom like that I imagine dr. Seuss. He seems to have hated the japanese and made fairly racist illustrations of them xD

Weird I guess I never did when I had a numpad. But now I don't and I really wish I had it xD

Maybe because people noticed they were going extinct?

Only way I can think of is that they practice markings like they do writing. Only way to get it consistent XD;

Bulldog is a challenge, it's also smoother

My mother is strange. She approves of everything her friends say is good, even when it goes against what she'd said before. Like Lord of the Rings, Ponyo, Dare Devil...

I have never noticed the racism >>; Where? Wait--can I find that in Encyclopedia Dramatica?

XD I don't even know what half of these keys do, except the default typing ones 8D;

Probably. Since the last one recorded is one in a zoo, as opposed to the last of a species usually being found dead randomly or hunted.

That seems like a lot of work for something that's likely going to look crowded xux

Yeah |D But I love their odd face and wrinkles.

ahahaha that's odd xD Wait.. why Dare Devil? That was about a blind guy.
urrrr... I wouldn't know if it's there or not. Maybe? xD You can just search Dr. Seuss japan in google and you'll get stuff though xD Like this: [link]

lmao xD

Anything can be successful if done right... One of my favorite authors managed to pull Spacebots-come-to-destroy-the-city without making it sound lame. XD

You use Photoshop? If so, multiply and opacity is your friend. And the double soft brush, the one that not only has soft edges, but soft center--and it becomes both smaller and lighter depending on the pressure, like a felt tip, water-based ink pen. Yes, for the dark lines, I'm serious. Why? Since you can control the color by the pressure, you can lift the pen and start again without having to worry about obvious separate strokes. But that really depends on the style you're going to use. *adds tips as the thinks of them*

It has "Devil" in it and people die. =C
I know there's little logic to this.
My mother finished her bachelor's degree after I was old enough to read. One day, she brought home a load of books. The only ones that I liked were of Edgar Allan Poe and something about a Ghost Hotel. I think she should have seen my interest in the strange coming.

Okay XD

hah xD

Yeah I use multiply when I'm doing cellshading and toning a lot |D Although when I do backgrounds I usually stay away from it. It can be confusing having a bunch of multiply layers xux

oh xD But.. Daredevil is a term..not because he acts like a devil
lmao

I meant Multiply on the brush.
Speaking of layers, I sometimes use different settings on the layer than I do on the brush for a unique effect. For example, I put the brush on Screen, but I put the layer to Overlay for the highlighting.
Using the brush on the setting should save layers XD

I know it's a term, but my family is strange. My grandparents argue that Wiki has something to do with Wicca and is therefore an evil thing.
