Where do I begin with this...well on one account, I must thank you Foot-paws for introducing me to this show, as I was intrigued in watching this show for awhile, but never really thought to watch it until recently. It was old, it was quircky and hammy at times with a routine formula, but I still liked it as a whole (even if the ending does leave more to be desired). And now this.....this is perfect. The level of homage to Beast Warriors Gulkeeva in this picture is astounding and you nailed everything about the show and mind you, this is one of your earlier pictures! I may not be some art critic or something special like that, but you nailed the look so dang wonderfully, it looks practically exactly like the show, except the detail is down just a little, particularly on Beakwood and Garrel. But Greyfuss and Tedium look exact copies which is amazing! Frankly, looking back at the anime and this, I could easily see myself asking if you were part of the staff. Because I've watched it now, I have a much greater appreciation for this picture than originally, so it would best be appropiate to finally comment on it now.
Not only do Greyfuss, Garriel, Tedium, and Beakwood have the same looks as in the show but also also captured thier facial expressions down. Garriel looks as jolly as ever when he is being silly and innocent, like he is with the kids, Beakwood is rather calm about the whole matter, Greyfuss has that gleam of interest he gets whenever he wants to take something apart to find out how it works, and Tedium...well this bear's hysterical face just looks right with his usual stubborn and haughty demeanor. He'll surely be embarrased from this ticklish ordeal for many days. I love the positioning in this, Tedium completely overwhelmed from all sides, Garriel pinning his arms back, Beakwood and Greyfuss restraining his legs and feet in varied positions~ It all just comes together to make a very complex web of bodies. I love it. And you even teased the viewers such as myself with a veiw of each of thier feet too, which you made completely accurate, leaving no detail unturned. I should know, I.....watched the footshots quite intensely. The footwear on each of them is exactly like how they are in the show as well, which I really admire, from Garriel's shoes that barely ever let you see his feet, which you thankfully remedied here, to Tedium's pawpads, and even to Beakwood's stirrups. And you didn't leave out any toeclaw either, all of the detail in the footshots in the show were added here, no exceptions. I really love that about this. Its all wonderfully hot and these warriors are just as attractive as ever~ Also, the background is a nice touch, I can presume that they are in the abandoned part of the city, when they couldn't go back to Peach Tree because they were being followed? The looks of Tedium thrashing under thier combined might is very amusing, emphasing his strength...only making it even more hilarious that simple scritches and prodding turns him into a teddy bear in seconds. And I can't forget about the name of the title, its so cheesy like some of the others that it sounds really plausible to have for a name for some lost episode. (and much better than the name 'Golden Snow') I can already hear the jingle for the episode in my head reading "A Wild Knight of Tickling"
And this story, good gosh Venom must have been thru heck trying to write these characters' personalities exactly like in the show, but it worked with smashing success. I could FEEL each of the characters and frankly, none of them felt off the mark. I can see Teduim getting impatient, angry and causing infighting...because he already did that, especially with Touya. I can see Beakwood suggesting this method of punishment because its not like he already knocked out Touya and technically kidnapped him to make him see that he needed to help out against the Darknoids. Garriel already butted heads with Teduim as well as punched him so tickling him to break his pride a bit is very likely already. The details of the tickling made me shiver, being quite gluttenous for that type of attention. This tickling must be unbearable for him.
All of this made for a wonderful picture and I'd love if this was an actual episode, just the Knights getting a much needed break from being attacked by Darknoids, or annoying Touya to tickle the crap out of Tedium all night. And a sequel episode too. I loved this picture from the first time I saw this, but know, with a better understanding of the source material, I can truly see how much love you and Venom poured into this and I give you both a standing ovation on just how lively this all is~ I love this work of art so much!

OMG This Show was amazing!....BUT SO UNDERRATED!! Honestly, this thing needs more publicity. I'm thinking about starting A Wild Knights Gulkeeva club but I would need support. Would you be interested in joining itΒ if I started one?

Ye its quite a good show almost entirely for the design of the characters themselves.
Im always happy to have my art featured wherever possible and its even better to see people still enjoying my older works.

I sure like to play with greyfass better looking feet and beakwood better looking feet and gariell better looking feet and tedium better looking feet. And i sure like to play with the beast warriors gulkeeva feets one in the future i will play with the wild knights barefeets someday i sure hope so.

ronnie300 [2015-09-28 16:15:41 +0000 UTC]
The wild knights are barefooted and they go in barefeet. And greyfass hads the most better looking feet, or in this case

Thanks but the best I can offer you with an old pic like this is the obvious stuff. There are no real special techniques or lighting effects, just closely referencing the show, planning out were things should be from the start, sketch, ink, block colour, then a simple 2 tone shading on top.

May I ask one more question?
Wich program did you used?
Because I used SAI in some paintings and I didn't get the same result, I got close, but not the same,

Yep! Just looking at this makes me picture what they're saying.
Tedium: HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!! CUT IT OUT!!! CUT IT OUT YOU PUNKS OR I'LL KICK YOUR ASSES!!! HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!!! HAH HAH HAH HAH!!! YOU GUYS ARE SO DEAD!!! HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!!
Beakwood: Well you're the one laughing! So it must be funny!
Gariel: Whose the ticklish teddy? Whose the ticklish teddy? Tickle Tickle!
Grayfas: Coochie coochie coo!

Nothing like tickling attack a grump bear in the ruin remains of a destroyed city where 100s of people died in horrible deaths during an invasion to lift the spi... actually, it doesn't...

Or in their world. Afterall, a tail-stroke to them may consider to be sexual harassment...

I can think of worse things; a bite to the tail would be a major offense. It'd be just as humiliating as getting bitten in the tush.

It's a shame that Beast Warriors Gulkeeva isn't more well known, so it's really good to see a picture at last. Beakwood, Gariell, Greyfass and Tedium are looking great, you really did well with reproducing their looks from the series and bringing out their personalities via their expressions. Particularly impressive is the positioning, since it looks a rather complex tangle and you managed to show off everyone's feet. I really enjoyed reading the story you and Venombahamut produced to accompany this picture as well.
Hopefully this picture will have inspired some people to try out the anime or perhaps there will be some more art here or on FA in the future.

Foot-paws In reply to Lylithix [2012-05-12 23:16:19 +0000 UTC]
It is relatively old now (17 years old in fact) so I can understand why its managed go under the radar despite how good furrys are at sniffing out anything that's anthro related. It released in the golden years of anime with Akira and Ghost in the Shell also making an appearance, so unless it was top notch it probably wouldn't get too much attention.
Even so I fell in love the the aesthetics of each character the moment I saw it so it was only natural for me to give them a slot in my gallery. I have already seen a lot of people showing interest based on this pic and im sure there will be some more Gulkeeva related art floating around soon.
The positioning of everyone was definitely a big thing for this piece. Took me ages to figure out the best way to make it all work without looking awkward and showing not only the feet but the faces clearly as well.
Im glad you enjoyed the story also ^^

I have to say, this is an outstanding piece. I got alittle lost on who's feet is which but still even with the story behind it, impressive work.

Foot-paws In reply to Knighthawk-7 [2012-05-07 02:32:08 +0000 UTC]
Thanks. I think Beakwood (eagle) and Gariell (Gorilla) have some very distinguishable feet so the main issue would be to separate the similar colour schemes between Greyfuss (wolf) and Tedium (bear.
Fortunately Grefuss feet are clearly out of the way so they cant be confused with Tedium's however I can see how the mass if entangled limbs can be a little much on the eyes.

I'mma put this here too, in case anyone can't fully comprehend the complete awesomeness of this pic:
You know that old problem, of how when you wait for something for a long time you end up creating an idealized version of it? And how the real deal can never truly compare to what you imagined, no matter how good it is?
... didn't happen! This is better than anything I had come up with.
They all look exactly like the series portrays them. I'd like to give special mention to Tedium's soles, for no reason other than the fact that I stared at them a lot. ^_^;
The positions are very creative. You managed to tangle four characters, give each a purpose and even show some eye-candy without making it all look like a mess. You made an extremely complex piece and it looks simple. Simply masterful.
Lastly, I never get tired of praising your facial expressions. Garriel's having the time of his life. Greyfass is calm but devilish. And who wold have thought Beakwood could look so sly? Tedium's in particular almost deserves it's own picture. Now THAT's what a person being tickle-tortured looks like!
I'd say "Another amazing drawing!" but this one stands above the others. You keep outdoing yourself like it was going out of style! I can't wait to see your art (yes, this is ART) in a few years.

Well I should only get better with time however I think that even in a couple of years this will be a tough one for me to improve on.
Im sure Tediums soles are getting quite a mention for being so sensitive amongst his tormentors since thy will also be seeing them a lot over the coming hours.
