Description I like badgers.

I love the sense of movement. He almost looks as if he's dancing. Or, as pointed out, about to fall over. Which is strange, as one is graceful and controlled, the other clumsy.

It's evident you know the badger anatomy very well. Well, that, and you're just naturally an amazing artist, especially when it comes to animals. I love the look of the slinky top half, and the big, round bum. And his stumpy tail, obviously.
I love the sketchy lines, he looks fluffly and hugable. Which is a new spin on the animal, as they're usually thought of as grumpy and bad-tempered, kind of like a farmer, waving a shotgun around, shouting: "Gerroff my land!" ...Uhm, well, that's how I usually think of them. But this one looks happy, approachable, carefree.
And the backgound - the colours and the patterns look quite eastern-themed. Almost mythical and magic, again, not really something you'd expect from the badger stereotype. I don't know if that's just what I see, perhaps it's the half-turkishness in me, but... It works well, anyway.

I also love that despite the sketchyness, the outlines are bold and cartoony. It makes it immediately eye-catching and fun. That's a good word to describe it, actually: Fun!

The eastern themed background is an interesting theory I was aiming for a warm and sparkly feel, kinda 90's Don Bluth thing going on, to tell the truth. I don't know much about badger anatomy to be perfectly honest (I had to keep using refs to get the facial markings right!) but I do know loads of strange trivia about badgers because Adam and every other guy he knows seems to be a badger fanatic! What is it about boys and badgers?? hehe

asimplesong stole all my comments. XD

Except one! I love the way he doesn't look like he's falling over, except... he really should.

Hehe, I always thought he did look like he was about to fall flat on his round bum! lol
You know if you fly over a penguin and it watches you, it *will* fall over, every time? That could be sadistic if I ever got an opportunity to

That's awesome The got the anatomy spot-on ^_^ What program did you use?

emorei In reply to Rhinne [2006-06-07 13:52:17 +0000 UTC]

photoshop, I am solemly sworn to use only Adobe software till the end of my days (unless I dabble in something for 5 minutes, but that doesn't count )
The anatomy will actually be really quite innacurate because it wasn't planned or referenced properly - I wanted to have a brief exercise in interpreting things with my own vision and try to create the idea of movement.... and to draw a badger for a few mates of mine because they're badger MAD.
I'm glad you liked it
