Thanks...she's turning out to be a great character to work with...and they make a good team...especially since half the time he gets them into trouble and the other half of the time he has to make sure that she doesn't  

I was surprised that this perspective came out so good. Still have the most trouble with the hindquarters...just like the horses, but it's really interesting to work at something without proper pose references for a change...it's a lot more liberating than drawing horses...and a whole lot more fun than drawing humans.

A pair of troublemakers does keep things very interesting! I wonder what hijinks they'll get into next?

I can never shade hindquarters properly so, to me anyway, they always look off when I draw them. No references can really be liberating and it's so nice to worry less too... though one or two of my former art teachers are shaking their fists at me in my mind to use more references.

You never know...well, actually, knowing Jake, probably something crazy. Unlike Ary, Issi certainly doesn't seem to have as much of a 'This is probably not a good idea' gene...

Yup...hindquarters are horrid  

I think, finding a balance between close refs, no refs and just details will be a good thing, should I ever get there.

I'm not sure if that makes them a better pair or a more terrifying one! I really can't shake the idea of Jake and Isis racing around and hitting a patch of ice though... into a snow bank with a puff of snowflakes and disgruntled sounds. Even though the weather here has improved, winter is still in my head. Ha!

You and me both, we will get there though, just need more practice. I mean, geez, look at the oldest deviations in either of our galleries and the practice, I think anyway, is certainly showing!

I'd go with 'more terrifying'. At least I can count on Ary to keep them out of the worst kinds of trouble  

Ooo, I like that idea  

I do that sometimes...and am scared remembering how great I thought they were at the time

That is true! It's good when one character is at least mildly responsible.

*grin* I had another terribly mischievous idea involving this pair... but I'm doodling it this weekend.  

Oh, me too! On the one hand, it's kind of inspiring when I do notice improvement (because, let's face it, looking at more recent things, I have trouble seeing the same). On the other hand, what I thought was my best... er...

It helps keep the 'trouble' at a lower level certainly Not nearly as fun though.

Oh dear  

Aye, that is very true indeed.
