Description This would be the last pregfur picture I did in honour of last month's featured artist, but also, the _first_ real picture scene I did on my own with the new techniques I learned from *ClimbingGecko with the whole body maps and posing flow Now I can actually draw them big enough to have the picture focus, but small enough to fit into the entire page! OH-EM-EFF-GEE! (what... don't you notice how most of my art I have to cut them off around the lower legs? XD THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR ME! YOU CAN SEE FEET DAMNIT o.o)

But yes. I was on the "Oh, let's do a couple-characters I haven't done in months or years! " And who other than the parents of my Warthogg triplets deserved such honour? So we got Graff and Beatrice :3 As you may notice (if you've seen prior pics of Graff), I tweaked Graff's scars. Basically, beforehand he had this rediculous amount of them, and I realized it was kinda lame nor did it work that well, so now he only has a handful. You can only see five here, and he only has two more I believe (that you can't see, since it's across his chest and leg). I think Beatrice is pretty much the same tho (except she's sans her usual dress belt thing, considering her size 8D; Hey, let's see YOU be pregnant with triplets and see how small YOU look )

Thanks to the whole body map techniques and whatnot, I can do facial angles much better as well I actually had ~ZaneRedrald help me alot on this one, when it was still in sketch mode. He showed me some of his own techniques (he uses body maps, just more simplistic and whatnot), and even doodled me a quick few headshot angles, to show how to get down the whole 3/4 view on a face and whatnot, so basically, I had to combine what Brandon and Joanie said, into a mix, and see what I could come up with. And that's what I got As you can see, I've tweaked my style of the way warthog's tusks point, and some muzzle stuff. I think it looks okay <3

As for this scene; I suppose it's one of those self explanitory ones, no? Yes, I've probably done this whole pregfur couple pose more times than I care to remember or count (since if I did, the number would probably kill you all 8D), but WAIGH, I LIKE IT Besides, it's actually the first time Graff looks actually _HAPPEH_ about it Seriously. In the first one I did, he looked all iffy about it XD; (it's actually his official behaviour about it in the story too... there's an explanation about it. But don't worry, it's not like he was planning on leaving Beatrice or hating the bebes or anything ;o; Basically, self-doubt and whatnot...) But yeah... YAY THEY LOOK SO HAPPEH AND STOOF ;; (just wait until the babies come... XD *DIES* Fun fun fun 8D)

Okay, so I said the last one would be short, and it wasn't Well, this one will be short for real!! XD

Congratulations for finding so many ways to draw pregfur @@; I'm surprised you didn't burn out during May xD

Poses are really good here I'd say poses/interaction are probably the most important part of pregfur, because, well... the theme is already decided @@;It's verry cute how he's touching the bebe like that :3 And his face looks so sweet. Although the last one was very nice, as you said, in this one he seems to have a sweeter look on his face, which is sooo adorable~<3 !

She also looks so pretteh~ With the whole motherly look. And her pose is the best!! I love how she's putting her legs out like that (YOU CAN SEE HER HOOPHS! Squee ;; <3) And her hand also on the bebe, but touching his at the same time! ;; HOWCUTE ;; *splode*

Did I ever tell you that I love the costume of Beatrice? I do ;; <3 You should design more costumes like that! <8D

Bg is also wonderful <3 The interior looks rather mod Love that couch!!

FABULOUS PIC DAHLING~ <;0 Keep it up <;*

Wow, Cari - really nice posing!!! I love their expressions too. If you silhouetted their poses you could so tell it was two parents admiring their soon-to-have baby. :3 This just makes me squee! So cute x3

Hey, I saw this on your pregfur page! They're so cute together... Hmm, seems Bullseye's got his mom's hair, Chis has his dad's, and Goresky....um.. combination of the two? He's the Special one! *glomps them all*
I love the poses. Looks hard and it's so cute!

When I first saw this at Pregfur I thought it looked a little different from your usual style, but other then the 3/4 face view I couldn't put my finger on why. ^^ The explanation pointed me in the right direction though.

It's good to see the new style's helping, and I'm pretty sure body maps will makes things easier for you. Particularly, like you said, on drawing the 3/4 face view. That's a pretty important view when drawing cartoons/comics. Or at least I think it is. And given you don't use it very often it looks very natural on both characters. Kind of gives a different angle to the tusks on your warthog designs. =3

And don't worry about doing similar themed pregfur pictures, we all love the cute theme of a couple sitting together gushing over the soon-to-be kiddy so nothing to worry about there. I'm a little sad that the current pregfur art spree has come to an end, but it's not like you won't draw that theme again. ^_^ Which cheers me up.

Body maps... Like using a stick figure to get the basic pose out?
But I do love their expressions. The poses look great.
I always adore the way you colour your pictures, especially on the hair. Maybe you should make a tutorial?
