Description Well I was working on a ref for Trixy because it's on my to do list before I head back to school..and as I was drawing out a few poses, I REALLY liked this one so I just...

..turned it into this

..and for some reason Trixy's expression made me think of Vekke when she's like "wo!" jgsd it kills me. Vekke your words are inspiring.

Trixy's really fun to draw now... )8 With this more loose style and all. I mean she was before, but now it's just awesome. I dont feel so.. ~*restricted*~ with her anymore.

Wow, your technique is perfect! Gosh I love your style. This comment is more or less for all of your work so I probably should have posted this on your front-page but I felt this one appealed to me the most..

Nice expressions used here, but mind if I critique on a few things?

One thing that I noticed was the way the back was arched. It might be the style of this picture, but it doesn't seem very natural for a dog to have its back in this way. Making the arched back run smoother might give her more grace. It almost seems like she's coming to a halt after seeing something dreadful.

One other thing: The furthest arm from the front of the body. I noticed how the elbows aren't parallel to each other, which I don't think is correct. The back legs you did fine, and I can see that the joints are lined up towards each other. The front legs, however, seem uneven. Or it could be the pose screwing me up...

Other than those small things, nice job

Thanks for your insight, I really appreciate it! C: I can understand how some things probably look off, I was trying to go for a certain style and it is supposed to be a sort of "halting/surprised" pose. At this point while I'm trying to get more stylized, I realize there will be some errors and kinks I need to work out, so thank you so much for the crit!

Um.. You don't really have to answer this, but I'm just curious. What had you come up with this new little style here? Did you just come up with it on your own?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Vanimute In reply to TheDresdenFiles [2009-12-06 17:44:53 +0000 UTC]

It's pretty much a more simplified version of my more semi-realistic style I had going on for a while before. It wasnt really working too well for animation..time wise, so I decided to simplify it and loosen it up some, and this is what I got. C: It makes my motion more fluid too, so I'm very happy with it. Basically being in animation forces you to simplify, so that's what happened to my style.

TheDresdenFiles In reply to Vanimute [2009-12-06 19:07:39 +0000 UTC]

I thought as much...

I wish I had more time to actually come up with my style before I had an animation class. :c It's so confusing sometimes....

ShiningShadow [2009-12-02 16:17:54 +0000 UTC]

it looks..like on the TV-screen! I mean, you got that feeling that this is a "real" animated character. I dunno what is it - the colors, the color of the lineart maybe...dunno but it's great. Why don't you start a production of some kids-related short movies?

Vanimute In reply to gaelicwolf [2009-10-04 20:35:17 +0000 UTC]

Trixy is a species of mine called the Vulpra C: Her tail is huge because underneath all that fur is actually a long reptile sort of tail, kind of similar to maybe an alligator's tail or dragon's tail.

LOL I really love her facial expression! You always do great with bringing your characters to life! When I first looked at this image and saw the paws I realized something... those paws remind me of the style in ADGTH! Nothing else on the character reminds me of that style of animation except for the paws. Are you die hard Don Bluth fan?
