I have already gotten from people that this one is much better then the original commission meant for *Peachfuzz . I like it better simply because it is popping out of a box that is colored in metalic gold. I am also quite proud of the tree limb because it looks so real.



Take a guess at where I got the pose and I shall give you a digital cookie. (Hint: The picture also has a chracter popping out of a box along with other things.) And it is probably because of that that the paw on the left is strange. Maybe just think of Tigerfly here turning to his left.

You must have the most patience in the world if you can persevere enough to do this.... 12 hours of color pencil-ing would drive me crazy... and your results are so beautiful! Despite the wonky left paw, I still love this

Peachfuzz [2007-08-16 23:32:21 +0000 UTC]

Holy crap. Eclipsis, this is amazing! Indeed, much better than the previous one!

I adore how vibrant and beautiful it is. That pose is simply incredible! So dynamic with him leaping right at us like that, and also so adorable and very much a thing Tigerfly would do. Fabulous work on the textures! As always I truly admire your abilities with fur. The Cool Gray shading in his black fur gives it a blue-ish appearance, but I think it looks awesome. It contrast so beautifully with his flame colors and gives it all a lustrous sheen. The shadowing is so rich, even on the light colors.

The anatomy looks great, as well. As for the one foot, it looks to me like it was back and he's just bringing it forward. A little odd but not really wrong. I especially like the tuft of fur on his forehead as well as the overall weight and realism of his body.

Aaaah, great job all around. This is so beautiful that I hardly know what to say. I see not one detail amiss. Thank you, Eclipsis, thank you!

You will find it much better in reality. I plan on starting to go and get these professionally scanned so I have a permanent records of these commissions.

If you checked my list of colors, cool gray is not on it. It is warm. That is what I do not like about using the sun as a light source. It corrupts the colors. You will like it much better when you see it.

Wanna take a guess at which pokemon card pose I used since you are like the card master? I will give you a hint. It is one popping out of a box, just like this one.

Peachfuzz In reply to Eclipsis [2007-08-17 02:58:36 +0000 UTC]

No cool gray? That'll learn me to read more carefully!

Card master, me? XD Not really. I stopped collecting over a year ago and lost familiarity with them long before that. Any card from within the last two years or so, it's doubtful that I've seen it. I don't recognize the pose from any card I remember seeing, but now you've got me all curious to see it.

Think Power Keepers. Extremely rare card (the most rare you can get with the series).

Nope, but you are in the right department of the Pokemon. Think trading cards with stuff popping out of them.

I don't think i have seen all the newer card. I was thinking the first series cars with the flarion in the air, although he was more profile view then facing the camera.

It is in the Power Keepers series. A shiny Pokemon. *I practically gave you the answer*

I went out and bought a huge box of cards for $90 and low and behold, I got the Jolteon Shiny! I was so excited!

I really want Umbreon and Espeon shinies, but those are only promos... I would askl you for help, but I cannot imagine what you would be able to do. Hmm...

Eclipsis In reply to koishii-kitty [2007-08-18 21:16:20 +0000 UTC]

They sell for $30 to $50. ._. They are that rare. Cannot even bid on them.

I am not quite sure where you get them. I would think like a tournament thing or maybe a local leage? The nearest one from here is in Lincoln or Denver. Too far away to try. I might be better off buying one in that case. Ooops!

As for the box, I googled it and it was near the top of the page but that was back in June. I do not remember what the site was even called.

amaguard [2007-08-16 23:09:24 +0000 UTC]

I think the main problem about the last one was the ammount of white space...as seen here, Tigerfly looks better with a dark backdrop color and then the background elements on it.

The pose is really cool! Aside from that paw, it's..pwn! I haven't watched you long enough to know what it's from, and I most definitly don't have time to look but popping out of boxes = cool. So keep it up ^-^

I think the scan ruins it a bit... It all looks so blue
But I like the "popping" and movement
Theres something about the bottom cheek that bothers me a bit... But beside that and the twisted paw it looks great =^_^=

Nice sense of movement between the pose and the leaves. Playful 'lil tigerfly.

Heh, yeah, the right paw looks like it hurts. Other than that the colors seem to sorta clash, but I have a feeling it has to do with the scan. Is everything really that blue?
