Description I felt guilty about all the white backgrounds I've been submitting lately, so HERE IS A SUPER BACKGROUND!!

Oh my god, architecture is terrible to draw. First of all, perspective is a bitch, and second of all EVERYTHING IS STRAIGHT LINES Dx
I could have used the line tool but I was worried that would make my line art look lifeless, soooo you get lots of wobbly edges 8D Also really really simple buildings in general x(
I also abused the hell out of textures (all from cgtextures.org). So no, I did not paint the brick wall, haha (there's also subtler textures on most of the other surfaces, but no one notices those...)

So yeah, this is Zaan and Xavier back when they first met 8D Xavier and Xander were rogue wolves at the time, and they trespassed on pack territory, which doesn't usually result in afternoon tea parties, haha.
Gabe and Xander are probably around the corner, also duking it out.

It's also the first time in awhile I've painted a night scene, hopefully it's not too dark on you guys's screens? Depending on how I tilt my laptop it goes from either too light to a black blob, haha.

I can also upload the line art to my scraps, if anyone is interested.

Hooray for wobbly lines and backgrounds! <3 x)

I actually have to depict an alleyway in one of my future pictures, and I'm not looking forward to it too much. >_> It's just as you say about the perspective.

I like their expressions a lot, possiblyjustmaybe did you keep my behaviour advice in mind? ? I also like the shading on Xavier that shows his ribs.

Zaan must be even more peeved, considering where it looks like Xavier's foot is, and therefore the majority of his weight.

What's the big blob on the ground next to the dumpster? Oil?

akireru In reply to NezuKunoichi [2010-10-18 21:17:53 +0000 UTC]

Haha yeah, I did keep your advice in mind I knew about the ears before, but not the different snarls. So this time I tried to make their behavior as accurate as possible x3

LOL yes, "peeved" is a very polite way of putting it! xD I imagine Xavier's foot didn't stay there for long though--they're still mid-tussle, I'm sure Zaan kicked him off pretty quickly :>


Oh it's just a puddle of dirty water-- I googled some images of alley puddles at night (lol, specific), and they always look pure black except for the reflection from the light source. That part isn't quite as clear as I would have liked, but eh xD
Basically if you can tell it's some sort of liquid I'm happy.

You know, I'd forgotten until recently who it was that I'd first seen saying that drawing characters into a background was the best/easiest way to do things.

It was you! So thanks a ton for the sage advice. ^^
