Description Something my sister asked for back in october. She likes Beatrix. I had a stab at *PearlPhoenix 's shiny stuff tutorial, you can see it here:

[link]

I also got to use ~DarkBlade1 's watermark that she did for me!

I love the effects, and the way she's drawn, and it looks kinda funny with the angry face and then a big bow on the base of the tail And it's something about her eyes and markings... I love them!
Great work!

I felt compelled to comment on this one as it just looks stunning! The lighting is wonderfully done, I especially think it looks great on her right leg and paw. Also loving how her tail spreads out on the floor

I don't know if you intended this, but I always think the bow as a good addition - normally you might associate something like that with innocence (you know, kids wearing ribbons in their hair and all that xD) and I love how that contradicts with this rather evil air about her here :3

One thing though (sorry!) - I did notice that her lower jaw is pulled back slightly too far? I imagine it should be to some extent, but I don't get the impression its length would match the upper jaw.

Cute watermark XD

I've decided to stop being a lazy face and comment! :0

Anyway, I have to say this is really nice looking;

I really love the character, she's one of my favourite of yours~ I especially love the bow, and the multiple tails, ou, and her eyes are pretty uber too! o0o;

I love how you achieved the glowy effect here, i'm going to have to check out that tutorial for myself sometime. :0

And how could I forget that posee? Eee it's really awesome, and god, your anatomy's improving so rapidly, it makes me jealous<33

Great work anyway, you should be proud! n__n;

[Tipeness]You can use, Select>Color Range to take the watermark off the white background. Then select the black watermark and change it white.

Looks like you have a good handle on the shiny stuff. Isn't that tutorial great? I enjoy seeing new type stuff with fun lighting, good job.

You can do shiny stuff on Cainoq (Canis Noctis) now!

Totally! Do you have any profile views of his horns anywhere? xD Even if it is just a sketch, i'd love to see one so I know i'll be getting them right!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

cooley In reply to mereni [2007-04-17 23:34:21 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, I don't have anything at the moment. Pretty much he has the two big horns coming otu just behind his jaw-line. The next set is further back on his head nearing his neck, and the third set is further down his neck. So they just move down his back. As for the ribbons and loops, they are just hanging around his neck like a scarf but flowy, hehe. And the feather-like ribbons in teh back come from the base of his tail.

As for the markings, they are fairly straight forward. The yellow eyes glow empty, and his fur glows. See how it has blue floaty things? Think of his appearance as an ever-changing blue aurora. He is the spirit of the night.

If I can, I'll do some sketches but I might not get to them fast enough for you. Are you still willing to give it a try?
