Description The hunger intensified, bringing with it a rising bloodlust brought about by instincts that I didn’t know I had.
It would be better for both of us if you just killed him now. Her tone was harsh, but images of escape and freedom were tangible underneath her thoughts. Then she softened, feeling my disgust and horror at what she was doing to me. I know you don’t want to, but trust me, this is our best shot. Besides, you need to eat and-
“No!” I screamed, I wasn’t going to let her take my last scrap of humanity from me and if that meant I had to fight her for it then so be it. “I won’t! I can’t...”

More Steel spine art! It's Chris again, and this time he's not in as comfortable a situation as last time. This is actually based on a scene in the story, hence the quote above (which has been edited a bit to make it make sense out of context) Those of you who've read it will probably know what's going on, but for the rest of you, here's a link to the chapter this happens in (just in case you're curious) [link]

So yeah, first art for ages! I've been kind of art blocked lately, but I finally managed to start drawing again. I found these wonderful new brushes and I drew this to test them out, and I have to say I really like them. Here's the link to them if you want to try them out for yourself: [link]

The background was kind of rushed and it's not my best work, I'm aware of that, but I still kind of like it. It's not where I want to be, but it's a start. Anyway, thanks to ~PerrythePlatypus and ~FerraMitak-Artist for watching me stream part of this.

How...did I miss this? o.o
I love it! So much detail, you obviously put a lot of time in this. His face is wonderful! <3 I love this character, too, which helps. XD

Aw, thanks It is quite easy to do, I've missed loads of stuff so I wouldn't worry about it
I am so glad you like it so much, the way I did it was quite different to how I normally work, so I'm pleased it worked out.

Sometimes stepping outside your comfort zone is the way to better advance. Actually, it's almost always the way to move forward. XD Glad you're willing to do it.

It is the best way to learn, it's hard to progress when you always draw the same things in the same way.

Exactly. I'm experimenting still and loving it.

Aww man, for a front shot, there is quite a bit of dynamism in this. I quite like it! Plus awesome color choice as well, it's so fitting.

Gaaah, I gotta catch up with these chapters man....

Don't worry about it, there are a silly number of them and there really is no rush.

Wow, I did NOT recognise this as yours at all at first. It was just because I'd seen Chris before that I thought it was vaguely familiar. It looks really cool fluffy, I love the dramatic lighting, and this style is pretty neat!

Fluffysminion In reply to Amadoodles [2012-09-21 07:55:00 +0000 UTC]

It is rather different to anything I normally do, I seem to be in an odd phase at the moment. Nothing I draw looks like I drew it, for some reason.
Thanks! I think it's a bit funny that I've gone from only a faint suggestion of lighting to everything having really dramatic lighting all of a sudden. I'm really pleased you like the style, I'm going to try to draw something else in a similar one soon I hope.

Well thats maybe not a bad thing, it shows that you're branching out and experimenting, which is the way you grow as an artist

Ouuuu, I dont know why but it's always the background that impresses me the most. Chris is also awesome.

Fluffysminion In reply to SenileJunta [2012-09-21 07:49:47 +0000 UTC]

That's funny, I wasn't sure about the background on this one, it's a bit abstract for my liking, but I am pleased you like it.
I'm really glad you think so, Chris is a character I really enjoy drawing and want to draw more often.

Wow, wow you're art has improved so much that it's amazing I love the lighting and the shading on his scaled plates and all the details of them too! The story is also interesting, poor Chris! I love how you drew his mouth, I always find dog-like mouths really difficult to draw

Fluffysminion In reply to Sleyf [2012-09-20 13:27:41 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'm so glad you think so, I've been trying to do something new with each drawing, so it's wonderful to know it's working
I've recently changed shading styles so it's good to know I'm heading in the right direction with it. I've surprised myself how much I enjoy drawing scales, I rarely draw them when I draw dragons but as I've enjoyed drawing Chris' plates and scales I might try to keep it up.
I'm really glad you think so, I do feel very sorry for him when I write, he doesn't have much luck.
I guess it's all relative, I find them easier than a lot of other mouth types.

Sleyf In reply to Fluffysminion [2012-09-23 11:04:08 +0000 UTC]

You have! This is completely different to your normal style and I like it, it has so much detail! The shading style is softer too but a lot more realistic, I can imagine it takes some time though but I think once in a while it's worth it to take that time! Aww yeah some characters are subjected to the full brunt of our godly wrath
I don't! Beaks are the easiest lol, but canine mouths I can never draw, feline mouths are just as bad!

Ahhhhh! This is so awesome Fluffy! I'm glad I got to watch this! He turned out awesome!I lov how you did the shading, and made the colouration/background seem a bit dank and dingy! Great job once again Fluffmeister!

Fluffysminion In reply to rooklinqs [2012-09-20 10:00:21 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'm pleased you were able to make it as well. I like the shading style as well, I might see if I can do more in this style. Since it's set in a basement dank and dingy is exactly the effect I wanted. I'm really glad it worked.
Thank you Perry

That would be awesome if you could I may take a look at those brushes as well, and try and use them.
Yeah, I thought it was set in the basement, as I think you said last time ^^
No problem!

I might try a variant of it next time, but I might change my mind when it come to it.
I think I might have, but I can't remember.
