Description It's been a while, and I thought it was about time I drew something kinda mushy again. However, I kinda wanted to avoid all the (probably justified) cries of "geez, cloud, why are you drawing stupid sentimental pics featuring yourself so much?!", along with dodging the threat of becoming all samey and predictable and stuff.

...well, that and the fact that most of my other mush-induced ideas are kinda awkward to figure out how to draw.

Soooo, I thought I'd draw some different cloud-and-hira characters being all clingy and cuddly instead. I spent a little while trying to think of some good ones, but opted to play it safe and recycle some that've paired up in the past (I don't recall showing them off much, but I do know I put them in my book... shameless plug woo) rather than try to do anything terribly clever and unexpected and pick new ones ("Hey sir, I don't think Rhino and Serus are really suitable for each other")

This is getting overly ramble-ish, so I'll wind up.

The girl is Chehalis, who is an old hira character and happens to be some kind of crazy basilisk girl. Since I didn't find any good reference until AFTER I'd drawn the picture, her hair is a little off and she's missing a couple of little horns (but I'll just say they're hidden under all that hair). She does have her tail, at least, which is why the sheet looks like that (i.e. she doesn't just have a funny shaped bum).

The guy is... some fairly vague character I made up to go with her. I don't think he ever even got a name, poor guy. I never was that good with names. He could do with being made a bit more of an interesting individual, but this didn't seem like a good time to be doing it. Maybe later!

Hope the pic is likeable enough anyway

Beautiful work 0.0

ROFL- it's funny, the guy resembles a bit one of, well maybe two, of my characters. Both, coincidentally, named Billy

Your 'yet unnamed guy' sorta resembles a Billy too, for some reason. I think it may be because of his glasses and maybe that hair cut - which he's rocking, BTW

Love the colors, too - it really sets the right tone for the whole thing~

ARTdEVIL-91 [2008-08-15 18:19:37 +0000 UTC]

Looks nice, but I couldn't help wondering, is he supposed to be looking at her, or is he just sort of lying there in amazement?

I like when you give your characters glasses however, at this point I probably would have taken them off already, or better yet I'd let her take them off

drcloud In reply to ARTdEVIL-91 [2008-08-15 18:44:57 +0000 UTC]

I think there was supposed to be a bit of both in where the guy was looking. I was actually kinda bothered about that, but more for the girl - with the way I did the highlight on her eyes and with the arms of her specs in the way, it's hard to tell that she was meant to be looking back up at him...

I agree that they probably should've disposed of their silly glasses anyways... but I have distinct recollections of, um, such things being forgotten sometimes, and it seems kinda goofy and awkward and cute for them to be kept on :3

drcloud In reply to moodyrcf [2008-08-14 18:08:27 +0000 UTC]

Weird, I thought I'd replied to this...

I used a piece of paper and a pencil. Well, three pencils really; one to sketch, one to line, one to shade.

The colour is all Photoshopperered

moodyrcf In reply to drcloud [2008-08-15 10:34:46 +0000 UTC]

it's just that you placed it under Traditional Media > Drawings which made me wondered how you coloured it.

Thanks for the quick reply

drcloud In reply to moodyrcf [2008-08-15 11:46:10 +0000 UTC]

Sadly DA only seems to have categories for digital and traditional media, i.e. there's nothing about combining the two. If they had something like that (and if I could actually find it, which is another problem I have with the daft category system) then I'd probably use it. Honest!



Since I did most of the "hard work" for this pic with pencil and paper I figured I'd plump for the traditional media section.
