Description Chuchip -> "deer spirit"

I'm submitting this guy I did for my Computer Arts class (it was due today, so yes, it's not old homework this time), 'cause I haven't submitted anything in awhile and I haven't had the opportunity to do much else. Also, it's not fanart and that's always a bonus in my case.

What's not a bonus is the fact that I had to render this in Illustrator, and I hates Illustrator, precioussss. It's also been years since I've attempted to use the pen tool, so it's messy everywhere. Didn't shade this creature 'cause there wasn't time, I had too much other homework to worry about. Plus, I'll remind you, I hate Illustrator. 8D

As for the creature itself I've had various versions of this sort of deer demon monster in my head for years, although usually when I doodle him he's less human in body and more wolfish, runs around on all fours, and the face is usually longer and more menacing. Also I picture him as having more braids, beads, feathers, that sort of thing, because in my mind he oughtta have a sort of Native American spirit vibe to him. For this class though I just had to do what I could with the time given to me. Someday I'll try to design him the way I want him (and with hands that actually match). Until then~

Sketched on paper (like all of my work) and then rendered in Illustrator.

Spooky. o3o; I REALLY like the design, with the bony body and skull face creating a suitably atmospheric character with a distinct look, and the composition is stellar. I admit, the Illustrator coloring is a bit...obvious, mostly in the outlines, but the colors still work nicely together, and you're definitely working well with the tools. ^_^

It reminds me of a Night on Bald Mountain in Fantasia. Like those crazy creatures dancing around. He'd fit right in. Nice work! Hope it gets a good grade in class!

You're so cool. It's what I like about you - how cool you are.

Seriously, though, this is very very neat. Looking at those smooth gorgeous lines, I can feel your Illustrator pain, but it does look slick. Lookit that gorgeous skull action going on, and that gorgeous ...ghostie goatee action going on. Yessss.

Wow! Beautiful lineart! What a cool character! I'm digging that delightfully creepy skull face of his. I love how thin and boney he is too hehee

...is it.. wrong that I find him somewhat cute..? -shot-

ILLUSTRATOR aughhh I feel your pain I hateee that program. I can't seem to figure out how to draw in it for the life of me. It does some awesome stuff for those who can put up with it, though. If only it didn't make you want to tear your hair out after the first two minutes of opening it up...
