Description
Besides job hunting, I've also kept myself busy with a commission the past while.I finally finished it earlier this week, but I waited until receiving payment to show/upload it anywhere. This morning I got my cheque, since the commissioner couldn't pay for it online, but it's all good. I didn't cash in today, since I had a few problems at home. XD; So I couldn't make it to the bank.
But as for the commission itself, this guy Jay, wanted something with him and his classmates (some of them) there was supposed to have been up to 10 people or so, but 4 others didn't get in for various unknown reasons.
He had seen my site, liked my style and wanted all of the characters drawn as foxes. I asked him if he wanted other species though, like he could go ask what everyones favorite animals were, so they could be drawn as that animal, but he wanted all foxes, which was okay, but it would perhaps have made the picture less homogeneous.
He also sent me pictures of how each person looked, and that's when I decided to take caricature into use, using their facial characteristics and stuff. Which I think I pulled off quite well, XD blending my style, the anthro features, with their real life looks.
This was quite fun to try out. :3
The background is supposed to be part of his school, which amazed me greatly, for being one of those old English fort-type buildings, partially visible from the massive plants growing up along the walls.
Also.. one of the characters (the female) was requested to be made pink, as a joke they have with that person XD Oh well. She stands a bit out atleast.
He paid me a nice amount too (well I have specific price-lists) but he even added a little extra than he needed to, in case my bank would charge an extra fee for the cheque, but I'll see monday, when I also go to mail him the originals + 6 signed High Glossy prints, one for each of his classmates.
Anyhow, enjoy ^^

All right, it's nice to see that you're at least coming somewhere with your art in regards to Canada. Hopefully you'll get even more like this in the near future!
Yeah, the pink one really does stand out, and not just 'cause of the fur color; the frizzy hair and different uniform makes her unique also. I somehow am liking the guy in the middle, with the briefcase...not really sure why, but I just like the look and feel of him.
But anyways, great job on this, and hope you can get more commissions (that pay, lol!)

As I said before I think you did a wonderful job at making all the characters very unique and different. <3 I love how they all have their own personalities + look like a caricature of the person they're supposed to represent. It was very important since he requested that ALL of them be foxes... which makes them all similar species-wise. Anyhow, I'm glad you received the money and that he liked it. XO! I'm sure all his friends will as well. The background looks very nice. *__* I love how it's slightly blurry-ish so that it doesn't take the focus away from the characters. You did a great job and it's well worth the money. <3!

i liked the caricature that you used. it really came out well. just goes to show that with extra thought in character creation can create characters that arent in the generic range.
good work!!!

sweeeeeet : D
the guys lucky you haven't pulled one of your magical funny something.. on this pic like you usually do x3
at first when I saw that I though: WTH,San had babies from himself?? -apocalypsed- xDD
the one in the right below corner looks like some american president,can't remember the name xD;;
w00t,what if the president comisses thou,then you'd say: .. -crashes- damn I forgot what I wanted to say xD;;;;;;;;
anywho,love the poses,San.And the coloring is just flawless
the guys look all OH SO sweet
love em all
actually,I mostly eat everything

Actually the guy, in spite not having known more than my website for a short, short while, specificly pointed out NOT to pull anything, for it was to be presentable to his fellow friends, class mates and such 8D;;;
Roflmao, yeah I guess the artist liked the foxes, because he saw San from my site, and pretty much wanted something along the same lines, and to avoid anyone getting offended or something, they all were just made foxes XD
And roflmao, everyone says he looks like a president XD well he had a very characteristic head and face in one of the photos. When I saw a front-view, he was perhaps not much like that, but the photo I went with, was one, that was taking straight up in the guys face. XD; So I guess his facial proportions got distorded from that, but it was all good :3
But thanks! ^^

Nice work! I like how even though they're all the same species, they distinguish themselves with their features and posture. Keep it up!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Exactly! :0 that is exactly why I took caricature into usage, because if I'd just used some generic anthro-anime style and used all foxes.... then uuuuh, there wouldn't be much left to this pitcure XD So you are quite right about that :3 Thanks ^^

Man,some looks like presidents X3 (Bottom right!) XDD
Great detailing!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The guy in the bottom right, was probably my most favorite to draw, because of his very characteristic facial features, that would make his character look very interesting. XD
Thanks ^^

How long did this take from start to finish?
And if you don't mind my asking, did you ''sketch 'n scan'' or is this one pure digital from the ground up?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I always sketch first, for a more hand-drawn feel. :3 I COULD just use my tablet.. but I learned I'm not a tablet man... unless I save up for one of those that are embed into the monitor itself... *w*
And as for how LONG it took me? I really didn't time Oo; if you count each day, from when I first put down a line on paper, to when I completed it, then it took me several months probably.. but if you count the total time USED on it, it might just be a few days XD; the commissioner had originally first set a deadline, that reached into 2007 but was moved up to an earlier date, later on, so I didn't feel rushed to finished and whenever something else came up (Yes, trying to make playing Final Fantasy XI Online with my girlfriend, sound like a very important matter, because it is :0 lol) I usually prioritized that, to take a breather from drawing constantly on it. XD A lot of things were going on, with job hunting here, so I was rarely motivated. =/

I've heard of those. Many a night went into dreaming of owning such a tablet, although most became nightmares once I saw the price tags.
There's also one other thing I've been wondering about your work. Do you sketch on a single piece of paper and layer the sketch up until you scan it or do you redraw the scene on new paper as the sketch progresses and then scan the final one?
I also feel somewhat inclined to inform you that icons don't function in signitures any more.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed. One of those things costs 1/5 of the same amount I'm saving up for moving to Canada... so no XD; won't be getting one at any time soon XD;;;
I often draw the characters and background separately on each their papers. Sometimes it mean that details in the background has to be sacreficed, when slapping the characters on top, but it give a more natural feel, when details are getting cut off, by the characters, instead of the objects and details are carefully place between each character. @w@ Plus working with the 2 things appart, makes working with it, much easier.
And yeah I know icons don't work there, because people had a tendency to trophy entire friend-lists in their signature. I won't remove it. It is there to make those people lose sleep, showing them what hardships I am now to go through, courtesy of their malicious means. D: ...or I'm just lazy >w>
