Description Please take into consideration the effort I put into this work and FULL VIEW

After receiving a finished commission picture of Tosca I felt very inspired to draw her. This was the outcome. I spent a few days on this one, because I wanted it to be good, and so I took breaks when I felt I needed to, or if I started to dislike the picture. Overall it took me about 10-15 hours to finish, though I'm not totally sure.

There are bits I'm still not totally happy with, and things I really need to improve on, I know. Sorry for yet again another sunset scene, but the colours just really suited.

Tosca is (C) To me!

I love the way you do meerkat ears. They're not all floppy and weird like Timon's. XD

Thank you, hehe! Yeah I was never too fond of Timon's ears. I don't think he looks very much like a meerkat, possibly because of them.

Sorry for the late reply!

I have no idea what the Disney animators were going for with him. He wasn't even all that fluffy.

ShemaLioness In reply to asha-dragon [2006-07-20 22:33:10 +0000 UTC]

What? She's not THE Tosca from Meerkat Manor. I only adopted the name. Tosca is my fursona and the ONLY relation to Tosca from the Whiskers family is her name. Nothing more. They're nothing like each other.

Turns out it was BEFORE December 2005 that I saw it. If my last post wasn't enough proof for you, check out one of my old journal entries: [link]

My collegue at work taped the show for me in December 2005. Obviously it was shown in England BEFORE it was shown wherever you live.

You want proof? Check this forum out: [link] Look at the date (29-09-2005, 16:26) They are talking about in September 2005 for crying out loud. And if you can't see for yourself, the first person that has posted lives in Hampshire, England. Now do you belive me?

I could tell you what happens in the last episode. I could write the episodes word for word if I actually wanted to because I HAVE THEM TAPED ON VIDEO!

Get your facts straight before you come bashing me for something so stupid

I've never done sunset by water, hehe I've done moonlight by water, but I do love to add water in my images. It's a nice and easy, yet quite effective thing to try.

O wow I am so happy that I took your advice on the full veiw. It looks amazing your line work is so smooth and the colors are beautiful. I adore this piece and I think it calls for a Though I do have a question for you.... How do you make you lines look so amazing. Everytime I do the lines for cg they look horrible and icky. Keep up the amazing work.

ShemaLioness In reply to Wicked-Husky [2006-04-24 12:01:06 +0000 UTC]

Next to shading, the lineart takes the longest to do for me. I use a tool in Paint Shop Pro 7 that helps keep lines straight if my hand's a little wobbly. If you can see at each point where the lines end, I manually make them look 'pointy' with the eraser. It's a lengthy task, but I've had some good feedback on my lineart, so it makes it worthwhile Onces I've finished the entire picture, I resize it and by sharpening it afterward helps a little with making the lineart stand out nicely.

Thank you so much for the lovely comments

OMG! She's so cute! I love the lineart, and the way it's all brownish...I think it makes the picture softer... I also love sunset scenes...

Silly question, do you use the Pen Tool on Photoshop or whatever it is? Because your lines are sooo smooth...and I have no patience with that tool, but this inspires me...

Yeah...just gorgeous work.

Eee a comment from teh Amanda! . Thank you for the comments

I actually use Paint Shop Pro 7. I'm not sure if the tool I use is similar to that in PS, but it basically helps keep the lines straight if my hand's a little wobbly. It helps a lot, especially since I only use a mouse.

ShemaLioness In reply to Eternal-41269 [2006-04-25 09:43:41 +0000 UTC]

Aww I'm sure you can. I'd suggest looking at pictures of real meerkats for refrence, though, and you'll eventually come to start drawing your own cartoon 'style' for them. It was "Meerkat Manor" that inspired me to start drawing them

Ah the problem is is that Im not a huge fan of the animal to do something like that, I'd just like to do something with my character and draw something different then lions.
