Description First of all, HUUGGE thanks to for fixing the torso and perspective. Thanks for helping me make my work less crappy!


Kitty May is Kitty Meow in her non-anthro form. Shut up, it's my character I can give her any stupid name I want. Haha!

Italian 1930s-ish setting I guess. Multiple references for car and background.


Open Canvas 4.5e+

hurray for perspective! its quite the bastard, but you've quite mastered it in this shot, I must say I enjoy the attention to detail in the figure with this one, the background seems a tad bit bland, but I cant complain when the main focus got so much work. Great work, keep it up

TAHOpaints In reply to Vashtastic [2008-05-24 08:13:45 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! But I'm dissatisfied with the background, namely the bricks and the lamplights. Hm.. A flower might be nice XD

Vashtastic In reply to TAHOpaints [2008-05-24 14:42:23 +0000 UTC]

maybe if you put in a vector background that has the opacity turned down or has a filter so you could still have a soft/smoky look, but the building would still have that edge to it?

TAHOpaints In reply to Vashtastic [2008-05-24 18:41:39 +0000 UTC]

Hm.. I dunno. I've done something similar before and people said they could tell what was vector and that it stole away from the picture. I'll see if I can touch things up.

Vashtastic In reply to TAHOpaints [2008-05-24 19:14:21 +0000 UTC]

Er, thanks for the suggestions but this was began and intended as a digital painting. As mentioned in the comments, I used OpenCanvas for this. ^_^;; But I appreciate the advice and Ill still make some vector art in the future.

Ironically, very similar to oekaki. I believe most oekaki users like using it. LOL. It's tons cheaper than PS, too.

ren94 [2008-05-19 15:51:20 +0000 UTC]

I really like the precision you used when shading!
The shading within the background is slightly choppy around the tree, but it seems to give the girl and the car a much greater position as the focal point. Maybe the bricks could use a bit more detail, but it looks fabulous just the same. The car is absolutely brilliant by the way!

Oh hehe I was trying to do this thing called Atmospheric Depth(don't ask me, I'm just learning this lol). But yeah, the background is still unfinished. I'm trying to concentrate more detail int he middle. I'll definitely touch up those bricks though !

Okay, now that Joanna mentioned it, I did take a closer look at the exposed foot and demmet, she's spot on. That foot looks so good I want to eat it.



Alright, not literally but you know what I mean.

Anyhoo, proportion-wise in comparison to the car, I feel like there's something off but since you took a cartoonish approach to this, I think the medium and the approach allows these.

And THAT, is a nice car, btw.

Nice job, Fatima-chan.

papillonseven [2008-05-19 13:57:47 +0000 UTC]

first off, the car is fantastic, excellently done - is there anything you cant do anymore ? i absolutely love the attention and detail you've given to her feet. i never thought i'd say this because i just really hate feet (no good reason either), but she has the SEXIEST feet i've ever seen. so well done to you!

the only problem i have with this is the size of the woman in comparison to the car. though i do know cars were pretty tiny back then as to what they are today...

otherwise fricking amazing job!

TAHOpaints In reply to papillonseven [2008-05-19 20:29:22 +0000 UTC]

Hehehe... I copied my feet. I have sexy feet?! Woohoo!

Hm.. yeah, I would have to agree that I myself am still not 100% about the ratio there. Although I did a lot of Googling and research and cars back then were definitely smaller.

Ooh, wow,

I must say I'm very impressed.
You really have an eye for the classic, sensual pinup style.
You really captured a delicate, graceful attractiveness in your subject. And the color work makes it come out with such a smoky, real world feel...

...

I like it
