Description editedit ;;
Guys I am throwing art out there in every direction hrnngh I don't think I've uploaded this often in years. ;u; /proud of self & her muse/

Back to my favourite style of shading, both because it's the fastest, and because FUR DETAILS I love them so much. Looking back on it, I'm not exactly super happy with the way I painted dem clouds, but I'll live. :b

This was not supposed to have a rectangle background, but the shooting star didn't really show up that well by itself soo. You get a little background behind the mini background. |D

(just curious, but did anyone notice that my default "unintentional backgrounds" are all a dull purple? |D 'Tis because I always have a darker fill layer to see if I missed / messed up any spots while colouring, and this colour is easy on my eyes |DD)

Other than that, I just, uh. Shading! I love it and felt like doing it, so you guys get this. :b And now I will be off to dream some dreams of my own. ;u;

Sweet dreams to you too!

HULLO MY LOVELIES!
I'm sorry to say that you probably won't be hearing from me much for the next couple of weeks or so, aside from a few exams, I've got term papers and projects to research and write so I probably won't be as active as I'd like. D;

That being said, I still need to get one commission and a ton of gifts done for some fabulous friends and other lovely people, as well as note everybody so DO NOT FRET.
There is lots of upcoming art! Just not at this very exact moment in time per se... |D

I don't usually upload sketches here, but I actually really liked this one so you guys can maybe watch me update it until it's finished or something? IDK whenever I art block, I draw Lyreia THAT'S HOW MAGICAL SHE IS she kills art block with her awesome. ;A;

Also why I keep trying and failing to make a less colourful fursona buuut. Nope, I should just face the fact that it's never going to happen. xD

Did anyone notice that whenever I draw Lyreia, I tend to drop a lot of anatomy? :b KUDOS TO YOU IF YOU DID, it's not really /that/ noticeable, but it's there. Being less anatomically correct suits my style way more. THREE TOES BRO. LOOK AT DEM. xD
Also the lack of muscle / fur definition and the nose but. I can't complain, it's more fun this way.

LONG COMMENT WAS LONG I'm really addicted to typing on this new keyboard that doesn't wake up the whole house with my typing. :'D

BUT YES. ILU ALL AND TY SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE AND AHHH. You guys are wonderful.

FEB 28: Uploaded sketch
MAR 3: Lyreia outlined
MAR 4: Main flats added / rough background added
JUN 9: Finished everything!

Aww, thank you Aki-chan!
Clouds are fun to paint although to be honest I kind of bs'd them here for some reason, I got lazy or something haha |D;.
Can you imagine if we had purple ones IRL though? xDD;

That would be AWESOME.

Though I hope the purple doesn't mean they're toxic or anything.

as long as it remain a cute little star that is not actually fusing something between H and Fe... then it would just... hurt D:

Inkshadow In reply to ErisAnima [2012-06-10 05:58:53 +0000 UTC]

It's okay! Lyreia's cuteness is contagious so it will most definitely remain a cute little star. |D

Thank you very much! ouo
Haha, I can hardly wait too. ;u; And yet I'm here posting more art when I should be studying. It's so hard to open textbooks and learn when I've got so many ideas and things in my head! xD

TheStringofFate In reply to Inkshadow [2012-03-15 02:34:22 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome! (:
Lol (: Oh, I know! I hate when I'm in the middle of class and get the perfect image of something in my head and have to wait to get it down.

Inkshadow In reply to TheStringofFate [2012-03-29 04:37:40 +0000 UTC]

Ohmygod yes. ;o;
And then if I try jotting it down later, it's just not the saaaaaame~ ;D;
...which is why I'm an awful student and doodle on the side of my notes if ideas come to me in class. |D

TheStringofFate In reply to Inkshadow [2012-03-29 04:54:10 +0000 UTC]

Ikr!? Or I can't remember part of it ;n;
Don't worry, I do that too! (; They're usually pretty bad doodles though x3

Inkshadow In reply to TheStringofFate [2012-04-03 05:55:33 +0000 UTC]

ohmygosh yes. ;^;
I usually end up writing like little paragraphs to make sure I remember every single thing, haha. ;b

And ohgod half of my school doodles are horrid because I'm so bored out of my mind that my imagination is all sluggish too, LOL.
And / or I am half asleep. But it's okay, it's still good practice! ;D

TheStringofFate In reply to Inkshadow [2012-04-04 01:17:41 +0000 UTC]

Lol, yeah I usually just make a small little thumbnail.

Ikr?! That happens to me all the time! There's a reason why my school doodles aren't posted haha. Yeah, that's true! (:
