=ArticaArtes ~ Sketch and Line Art

=ArticaArtes says: Okay~! Sooo, I made these silly chibis on a random whim, because this couple is AMANEzing~ ;DDWhen I showed the crappy sketch to =Amalika though, she decided that it would be a neat idea to try to color them~! oo: Sooo, I ended up making a line art for her ~ And she ended up giving them the most beautiful coloring ever, I swear. ;M;~<3 Look at the detail she put into Mane and Ama's hair~! And the fluffy poofiness of Ama's tail and Mane's chest hair~<3

... I swear the two of us make the most amazing collaboration team ever. XDD Well, then again, she put more effort into it, what with all the coloring ~ I just made the silly sketch and lines. ;u;

Aaanyway~! Ama and Mane. oo: I imagine them arguing about who touched the other one first. XDD When they likey both touched each other at the same time or on accident ~ so they keep touching each other! XDD Pushing, poking, prodding, pulling... This sounds kinky, now that I'm thinking about it. oo: Which fits ~ because they don't realize how in love they are with each other and constantly deny it, at every turn~ The dorks~<3 ;u;

Heheh, aaanyway, hope you enjoy the picture~! ;u; Below my comments~? What Ama has to say about this picture~<3 Take it away~!



=Amalika ~ Coloring

Ahh I already really really loved his sketch when he showed me what he did! ;u; Simply AMANEzing *shot for the silly pun* We were talking about him finishing the lines and then me coloring it... and eventually, we really did it! xD His lines are thinner than what I am used to, but it was no problem at all. This picture was a really neat chance to get used to that coloring style I used in that Knuckles picture and see if I can get it working better than that. I started with Amalika and really struggled with her dress at first, but somehow I had the enlightment when coloring Mane's trousers and continued to try a few things out here and there. My favorite parts are Mane's ears, Amalika's hair and her tail. Unfortunately the style is a bit mixed as of now, but I hope to change that in the future and make everything more fluffy, like Ama's tail~
This was definitely a fun collab! I love seeing =ArticaArtes ' stuff being colored ovo Making collabs with him is pretty cool 8D

Don't forget to the other picture as well!~<3

I'm gonna try myself on a critique here X3 I'll focus on the colouring for you Ama and on the sketch/lineart for Nath ~

First, I like the chibi style that is used here, Mane and Ama look adorable x3 The poses of both are dynamic and show that they are in movement here ^^ Which makes sense since both are fighting and trying to get the other one either close or away from themselves xD The lineart is really clean and has - despite the simplified chibi style - many details that make the picture come to life ^^ the only thing bothering me personally is, that Mane seems to look up to Ama's ears or something... it's kinda unfocused and confusing me xD To make the lineart brown instead of black gives the picture a warm feeling in the end and I like that the eyes don't have the usual Sonic border :3 Really good job here Nath!

Now for the colouring... I think this is the best colouring and most detailed one I ever saw from you Ama! Honestly, when I saw the picture I was really amazed to see such sharp details in the hair and for example on the fluffy tail of Ama X3 The shadow and lights are done with rather blue/yellow colour and I think that makes the picture more realistic ^^ Especially since Ama and Mane have similiar main colours X3
The background is not too catchy but is a nice contrast to the warm colours of the characters and fits well ^^

So all together you both did an amazing job on this drawing, all the little details you both put in show how much effort it was nd it was worth it! More Collabs like these! xD

I should leave a comment as well now, shouldn't I?

Really, the sketch was already sooo adorable q___q The poses are really great ;u; And the expressions definitely fit that situation Even if Mane's confused me a bit when I was coloring it but good that we fixed that mistake easily ^^ Your lineart is really clean as well! o: I see that you get used to SAI after all and I can just repeat myself - I actually prefer your SAI lineart. But that's a matter of taste and however you make lines, it always turns out supercool!
And even though these are chibis you managed to put all their details into this. And yet the picture doesn't look stuffed! On top of that the details didn't make coloring harder at all, even if it looked like a lot at first glance o.o

Thanks to you making lineart like that I managed to learn a lot with coloring! If you had drawn her tail differently (=the way I usually do) I would have never colored it as fluffy as it is. The same goes for the hair and Mane's tail and trousers and well... somehow everything? xD That collab was an absolutely interesting experience with great lineart of amanezing characters 8D

Yaay, my part~<3

XDD Ama's thinking of changing Ama's last name to Cooney... Sooo, Mane Croone and Amalika Cooney. XDD

Heheh, thanks, Chan~<3 ;u; But you always say that about my poses. XDD
Aaand, yes~! I wouldn't doubt that she is kicking him in the stomach, here. XDD Because these two are... XDD Like that, with each other.
;M; I knooow, Ama did an amazing coloring job~<3 Didn't she~?
Because that wouldn't be fair to her! I can't force her to color all of my art. ;M; That's evil... Besides, that's something I need to learn how to do, myself.
Buuut.... Yes, I think Ama and I make quite a wonderful collaboration team. ;u;~<3 My favorite pictures that I make always end up being the ones you guys color... |//DD~<3
