Description also not my character... but fanart never hurts. XD i think her name's either Laki or Raki, and it might be a dragon, despite looking like an absolutely adorable cat/rabbit/monkey. ...

stupid scanner... there are little sections of white cuz there were little 'bumps' in the paper, i think that happens when there's too much colored penicl/paint on the paper. and i scanned sooo many times to try and get rid of those white spots... unfortunately, this was the best i could get it. :/

Laki/Raki belongs to... i dunno actually, but some japanese artist on Pixiv.
Art belongs to me!

Done in Colored pencils on small sketchpad paper

Even if this is now your character, you did a very good job on it. I like how you colored this and the pose is great too.

I also have a thing for those backgrounds. ahaha
What kind of pencils did you use?

SnowHowl In reply to abbycats [2010-08-22 18:25:49 +0000 UTC]

aww, thanx! yeah, i wanted to be very thorough with the coloring; and the character itself was so cute that the pose came to me easily, haha.

good! cuz i think those bg's are pretty too, the simple ones with no specific theme to it.

uhm, i use a 120-set of Faber-castell polychromos colored pencils; they're very professional and very expensive, but i'd say they're very much worth the money. easy on sharpening with a variety of vibrant colors and easy blending, and i also learned they're erasable. these pencils easily became my babies.

Crap that's a long name... just the name sounds expensive. I use plain crayola, I have some Prisma too. But Yeah I love the smoothness of them.

yeah... i know whatcha mean. mom thought the same thing when she saw and heard of them. but at least they last a long time. and thanx! i love the smooth coloring too.

and u rock on with those prismas! i used to use them a lot a while ago. i'm always impressed when ppl make amazing pictures out of the low-cost art tools, btw. i saw someone make a very detailed velociraptor out of crayons. : D

Yeah some people are impressive. I try to learn to do that, with mixed things. Like i have two pictures that I used, crayola markers, pencils, crayons.... and sharpies. ahah

SnowHowl In reply to abbycats [2010-08-22 20:38:41 +0000 UTC]

heh, yeah, i wish i could do that too, but crayons and sharpies and i don't get along well. we're learning, tho; gotta extend those comfort boundaries when it comes to art.

I really love the colors! The red and white looks really nice. :3 And I like how the lineart is grey. X3
I don't really know what I thought it was, but nonetheless, it's cute! XD For some reason, I really love its hands! And I the furry ears~

The background is really pretty too! That caught my attention as well! 8D Sunset colors, ftw! And the black in the background and the stars are awesooome! ;3

SnowHowl In reply to MiaMaha [2010-07-22 02:48:18 +0000 UTC]

yup, i love me some colored-pencil grey lineart. <3 yeah, even when i saw the costume, and showed my sis the fanart, i never knew what the creature was. but its like stitch; so cute, despite not being a real thing. xD and u gotta love them sunset colors. i think they go very well with the strong bold red.

... and about time u commented. xD

MiaMaha In reply to SnowHowl [2010-07-23 16:10:38 +0000 UTC]

I don't know. It's just it looks pretty furry (...oh. A pun. Yaaaay. XD). From the deviation, Laki doesn't look fox-ish (I think it's because of the nostrils you put in. :3). But in the video, kinda. With its big eyes and red and white and cuteness. :'P I don't know! It looks like SOMETHING but I just don't know what! D8

Nonetheless, I want to hug it.

SnowHowl In reply to MiaMaha [2010-07-23 19:04:01 +0000 UTC]

MiaMaha In reply to SnowHowl [2010-07-24 06:23:04 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, yeah, I can see the monkey in there. :'P

That should be our ultimate goal: Hug an adorable or awesome furry. XD

MiaMaha In reply to SnowHowl [2010-08-08 16:51:47 +0000 UTC]

And wear our best running shoes, so every time we hug one, we can run off in some other direction to hug another one. XD Sounds like a plan~

SnowHowl In reply to MiaMaha [2010-08-09 22:06:08 +0000 UTC]

can't wait.
