Description Dissect me 'til my blood runs down into the drain
My bitter heart is pumping oil into my veins
I'm nothing but a tin man, don't feel any pain
I don't feel any pain, I don't feel any pain,
I'm rusted from the rain

Go on... crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
Come on... strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains
And if... I'm the King of cowards, you're the Queen of pain
I'm rusted from the rain, I'm rusted from the rain

Too much cute Argus lately, I needed a reminder that there is a reason why it took so long for this guy to get rescued. It's because the neighbours absolutely hated his guts. They complained to his drunken owner, tried yelling at him but that just made him louder, tried beating him but his owner threatened to sue for damage to property, poisoning his water with antifreeze but luckily Becca had him poison proofed etc. And in this case, here, have an Argus dodging rocks in the rain. This is exactly why he hates teenagers and children. At this point in his life he is very much feral and unapproachable by anyone who isn't his master.
You'd think that would teach parents to keep their kids away but nope. Go throw sharp objects at him :/

And why yes, I am mean to my OCs, when did you notice? 

Actually, I admit, I'm very proud of this. It's 2am right now so when I wake up I know I'm gonna notice problems but right now, I don't care I love how this turned out.

Critique me in the morning people.

Does this need a mature content filter? I hate those things q.q We saw worse in the Stray Event.

The only time Argus would show teeth to Alex is to give that big goofy grin of his And kisses. Lots of doggie kisses.

Ohe me oh my, I have to say I'm impressed. No wonder you're proud of this. You should be! I love the atmosphere on this and emotion on his face. I see some minor mistakes when it comes to his teeth but I noticed them only after few moments. Keep up good work! <3

Haha, yes that bottom left canine gave me a lot of trouble xD His top incisors aren't very straight either and I always fudge the molars and premolars but don't tell anyone xD I really love emotional pieces and that's what I was mainly going for

Thank you very much! x3

I can't stress how much I love this drawing and the song is very fitting! Though I would just say the jaw looks a bit odd to me other than that though, EVERYTHING is GREAT! I wish I had this much patience. May I ask what program this was drawn in?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

JatoWhitz In reply to Mio-Yoshio [2015-02-20 14:45:42 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!
Yes I realise now the bottom jaw is angled a bit weird- it should be slightly shifted to line up with the upper jaw a bit. I blame that bottom left canine, it gave me a ton of trouble >.<

This was drawn in Paint Tool Sai for about 3/4 of it. However, at some point (I think when I reached like the 50th layer xD) It started lagging Sai and I switched over to Photoshop. The blur effects, lightning, rain, blood and bruises were all done in Photoshop CS6

Mio-Yoshio In reply to JatoWhitz [2015-02-20 15:48:39 +0000 UTC]

I agree, I think it might've been that tooth heh.
And thank you, I am actually planning on getting sai very soon and am looking for second opinnions!
Thank you!

JatoWhitz In reply to Mio-Yoshio [2015-02-20 15:54:26 +0000 UTC]

Sai is great! Not as versatile as Photoshop but I love it for inking and painting  
If I had to choose one though, stick to Photoshop since you can do so much more. But Sai is cheaper xD

Mio-Yoshio In reply to JatoWhitz [2015-02-20 22:35:24 +0000 UTC]

Yeah cheap is the way to go for me.
Thank you for the input though, I'm still gonna get photoshop eventually!
I hope to have sai soon!

JatoWhitz In reply to Mio-Yoshio [2015-02-20 23:35:24 +0000 UTC]

Well you know there are ways of getting them for free
Photoshop came with my computer but I think I got Sai by literally googling 'Sai free download'.
shhh don't tell anyone

Mio-Yoshio In reply to JatoWhitz [2015-02-21 12:10:37 +0000 UTC]

(don't worry I won't)
I did try to find the free download but I ended up giving my computer a virus, and giving myself a headache.
Maybe I'll try again before I buy it, I mean I've got plenty of time.
You're very kind by the way!

JatoWhitz In reply to Mio-Yoshio [2015-02-21 21:54:36 +0000 UTC]

Aww dang, sorry 'bout that :/ Do you have any anti-virus program? I don't think I have the latest version of Sai. Remember to read the comments before you download.
And thank you ^^ I love helping people when it comes to stuff I actually know haha xD

Oh my gosh you're sweet~
And I have avast but even still some viruses get though.
I think I just downloaded it though!
It's working so far so, yay!
Thank you for the advice now I can spend that money on more important things!

JatoWhitz In reply to Mio-Yoshio [2015-02-22 10:06:19 +0000 UTC]

Alright awesome! Better to spend that money on Photoshop or other art supplies lol.
Make sure it's not a trial version. If it is you might need to switch off your internet to install, and don't register!
You're welcome ^^

Holy crap this came out amazing! The shading is dramatic and stunning which helps capture the motion. I love the way you blurred the rocks to give it perspective! The Lightning is fantastic as well <3 Great work!

Oh wow they really do look like rocks. Those are close up of the chains actually, I didn't draw rocks 'cause I couldn't get it to look right :/

Thanks!

Ah, sorry XD I thought they were maybe the rocks that the kids were throwing at them They look good either way!

Nah, my bad should've made it more clear. I'm still trying to work on the whole 'blur objects up close to simulate depth' thing. I'll get better XD

Strayay In reply to JatoWhitz [2015-02-20 03:15:26 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps next time you should ease up on the blur just slightly?

Well, 62 if you don't count the final layer which is everything merged
I deleted all my sketch layers because my computer was complaining and SAI kept freaking out -shakes fist-

Yeah I'm a layer-holic xD My biggest problem is not naming them as I go along :/

If he were a friendly pup, maybe the neighbours would've taken pity on him and called the shelter sooner. Too bad he wasn't and they didn't

Well he wasn't really bred to be a guard dog either Dx
He's just doing what he thinks guard dogs do.
