Description This is the scene in Catching Fire, which... oh why am I bothering to explain, I'm sure you all know what this one is.

I was going to put in Peeta and Katniss too, but I didn't leave myself much room and I didn't feel confident enough to add them in behind Finnick without it all looking crowded. So I'll draw those two next time. I'm afraid the monkeys aren't quite as big as described, but I like these guys. I know the background is a little confusing. I wanted those trees to look like they were extending far up and beyond Finnick (thus the small, far away monkeys) but I don't know what happened. I messed up the depth thing when I colored it, I think. I think I forgot what I was doing.

This started out as just a quick picture of Finnick (that's why he's so sketchy), but he looked silly without something to throw that trident at, and so I ended up doing a complete background for him. I just wanted to see what my version of Finnick looked like in action. Though I did not put my best effort into it, AND I forgot to mess Finnick up a bit like he should have been (but maybe I will come back and fix that another time), I think I like it.
I removed most of his suit. I assume he had no wounds since being healed in the water just moments before this happened.

Lol, Finnick looks like he's trying to use the Force on the monkeys.

LOL. He was supposed to just look serious, but seeing as its Finnick, I guess that works too

How were the dogs/wolves in the first one? I haven't seen it... but I bet that would give a good idea of the type of quality, anyway.

thank you It took me several days to get Finnick right, and then about 5 hours for the background/rest of it.

Thanks I was pleased with it. I obviously didn't go into as much shading/detail as I did with the portraits, but it turned out surprisingly well. I didn't think it'd look good enough to post because it looked like a mess while I was doing it. The monkeys looked like blobs, and they still don't quite look like monkeys in the face, but that's okay, since they are mutts and not real monkeys. I like that it kind of turned into my own monkey species

I feel the same way. But don't feel like that! I don't know how yours can get any better! And some peoples that are just amazing probabaly had many years of practice!

Eh, maybe! Some people seem so amazing at such a young age! LOL. I think I am mostly happy with my "style" of drawing. It is my coloring and lighting and shading and all that technical stuff that I think I need to improve on.

ZebraSharpie13 In reply to klikkitat [2012-04-12 00:05:45 +0000 UTC]

I agree with everything you said. Now I'm trying to work on said shading and such and also expand my style

Its amazing how big of a difference the way something is colored can make. I desperately want to learn to shade like *DawnFrost . And I desperately want to learn to do lighting like some of the pretty anime art I see. And I want so much to have a coloring style like *Dezzoi - [link]

Thank you! This thing has been in progress since Friday. I had a busy weekend and didn't get to work on it much. In fact, everything but Finnick was just done today. I love Finnick too, I think he might be creeping up as my favorite character, the more I draw him. I'm thrilled to know this came out like you imagined! I wish I'd gotten Katniss and Peeta in there too, but oh well.
