Description Well, this is a request for Dyar [link] one of the best 3d artists I've ever seen, (go see his gallery if you don't believe me)
Anyway, this is Ari, a redrawn version of him running happily in the rain. The only pic of him is really bad coloringwise (i didn't recognize these things called lines, they just held no boundaries for me...) and also running, but he looks happier here. so...happy Ari.
yes, I love doing the rain effect.
yes, I drew the moon. it's really hard, but kinda fun. albeit tedious...
yes, Ari is my character. Please no stealing.

well, here it is, Dyar. I hope you like him!


Edit: Ok, I fixed that ear (I hope) and used the smudge tool to make the fur more realistic. Also, I figured that since there's a lightsource (the moon) he ought to have a little light on him, so I made his coat shiny on the shoulders, hips, and paws. I hope this makes it better!

Comments Please!!!!

Wow, I love this one! you are really good. I mean it. I can imagine that the moon took forever, but it was worth it. The rain is also an awesome effect. Keep up the good work.

Looks very good! I love the pose and the moon, anatomy is wonderful as well! Though the ear needs to be more pink or just a darker shade of red. But other wise I love the ran effect and the color!

He looks so cool, Dirk! There's a lot of energy in this drawing and I love how Ari is captured in full momentum. I do have one little problem, though. I've looked at Ari, and he struck me more as a noble but tough kind of wolf. I like him running in the rain, but there's too much happy in this for the character. A little more urgency or some ferocity would improve it. It's very well drawn though. Looks great!

Dirktheblade In reply to sorentense [2008-02-01 00:56:12 +0000 UTC]

Thank you soo much!!!

yeah, you're probably right on the ferocity part...perhaps if the rain were against him to show adversity...

Great job. Showing motion is hard! I'm experimenting with it. You may consider darkening the color of the inside of his ear... Awesome job on the moon. *grins*

Thanks! yeah, the ear...hm...>.< okay, I'll burn it or something, maybe darken it down with an opacity paint bucket...thanks for the input!

anytime. ^^ the ear was kind of BAM! I'm there. and since your focus wasn't on it i'd blend it in as you said.
