Description Yesterday my little brother burned me own CD, collection of my favourite songs fron various artists. I was with him, sitting on the floor next to his chair because I had to tell him what I wanted. There was some boring moments, and I just happened to have paper and my pencil case with me, soooooo.. I think we were going on with Sonata Arctica when I started this.

This is the first picture that I upload here as something else than JPG-format. I added transparent background and I wanted to see how it would work with this pic (if it goes well I'll put it to my webpage).

By the way, did you know that that hand-mark/-pose/-whatever it is called is originally for keeping evil eye away. Heh, there won't be eny evil eyes on rock-concerts. ^^

Eh.... I can't really comment on the hand gestures... you see, I use sign language, so any signs that's not a sign seem really weird to me...

But I like the tongue! :-D

I havent met before anyone who uses sign language as their first language. I tried once to learn it myself, but now everything I can say with my hands is "cow" and my name. ^^" Krhm, unused things seem to be easy to forget.

That's really funny, considering that cow is my first word/sign. XD

Really cool pose. Like desertfox said you are really good with the paws, they (as well as faces) give me the most trouble when drawing, need to practice more. I have been trying to find Sonata Artica albums but no luck yet, maybe online I'll find something (I listened to one song and they're pretty cool).

(My favourite song of them is Don't Say A Word from the album Recogning Night. I hope I didn't misspell it.)

hahahahhahahahhaha the puppy eyes are back I love the expression and the pose and the anatomy. your'e definitely good at paws. a lot of people don't realize that the two front claws are really close together and space all the claws on a paw out evenly. You don't and that makes it look cool

Paperiapina In reply to desertfox04 [2005-12-05 10:07:48 +0000 UTC]

Puppy eyes strike back. Bwahaha!
I've fought with my style of drawing paws for so many years, so I guess that I'm finally at the winning side of the fight. It's really good that our neighbor has dogs, so I have at lest some kind of living model when I myself have just two cats.

Haha, there are at least three things, then, that Finland does well: metal music, write computer code ( ), and produce fabulous artists... there seems to be a lot of you on DA! Great pic! Now I want to go to a show...

Sonata Arctica definitely rocks, and aren't little brother's great? One of mine burned me a CD of music that would keep me from falling asleep on the drive back down here from my parent's house where he lives... and thankfully, it worked. No Finnish metal, though .

I had heard about that hand gesture being used to ward off evil, but I also think I saw something on TV where Satanists use that hand gesture (or at least a veeery similar one) to salute Satan... but then again symbols have all kinds of meanings in different contexts, so who knows? The swastika used to be a symbol of good luck until a certain nasty group perverted it.

*nodding* Yup. The best parts of Finland (along with beautiful nature. ^^)

That's true, I don't know what would I do without my brother. It's interesting, that I'm used to be the nerd of my family, but when there is supposed to be done something with our computer, I have no idea how it's done. Thankfully my bro knows.

Ah different meanings are very easily mixed up. Like pentagram, it has been used as keeping evil away, or symbolising sun and so on, but nowdays most people see it as the mark of evil. (And it seems that almost everyone mix also meanings of 'satanist' and 'Satan worshipper'. Satanism is just pholosophy of life htt concentrates to human and their nature but Satan worshipping is really what the name says, worshipping Satan, and is kind of twisted form of Christianity. Minna for example is Satanist, but she is mostly just like one of us. She just belives in the philosophy.)

You're right; my mistake on the definition of Satanist. Like the difference between Taoist philosophy and Taoist religion, kinda. I believe that was also explained on the TV show I saw... I meant to refer to Satan worshippers, who are also not neccessarily evil. Sorry !

That's okay, most people mix them and have wrong picture. But at least now you know better than most people.

Iiiihastuttava ilme. ^_^ Ihailtavaa suorastaan, että osaat piirtää noin eläväisiä ja vähän karikatyyrisiäkin ilmeitä säilyttäen kuitenkin realistiset kasvonpiirteet ja oikeanlaisen anatomian. Ei tässä voi kuin ihailla ja favettaa. x)

*Kumartaa, kolauttaen kallonsa jälleen tietokonepöytään* Kiitoksia. ^^

Anatomia menee oikein harjoituksen pohjalta, mutta meikäläisen ilmeitä on kerta kaikkiaan mahdotonta vääntää rikkomatta tiettyjä anatomisia seikkoja, joten karikatyyrit ovat suunnilleen pautomaattisia. Heh, mutta hauskoja niistä saa. ^^

Thanks. ^^ Jup, its .gif. I know there is possible to do transparent png:s also, but I can't remember how, and my computer have had some problems with png-form, so.. Gif goes well.

Not a bad idea, on the paper the shadow looked better than in this. I'll remove it from the version that comes to my site.

[link] You can tell me. Light brown or something. I'll probably cance some bits of it, but that is still the final color there.

daniii In reply to Paperiapina [2005-12-04 15:56:54 +0000 UTC]

the shadow might look lighter than the bg,I think,and that would look rather odd...dunno, it's up to you
