Description What is she sitting on? How does her leg magically overlap her tail? How is that tail cuff staying on her tail anyway? Why isn't that tiara-thing falling off? And how the heck did she get those bracelets over her hand?!

NO ONE KNOWS.

All I care about is that I've drawn a real piece of art for the first time in four and a half months! I hope this signals the beginning of the end for my art block.

Overall, I'm very pleased with this, even though it's full of mistakes and problems (The fabric folds! ). I'm finally starting to get Cleo to look more how I imagine her to look: Squishy and curvaceous. I also finally got my chance to draw the new top I designed for her some time ago.

The scan sucked some of the life out of the shading and brightness, but I've seen worse. :3

Lovely pose and I'm glad you are getting over your art block. I can't get over mine, or my lack of staying up to date on my watch list...

Cleo is certainly a mystery. I couldn't think of any answers for your questions. I guess that is why nobody knows.

It's because SHE'S SITTING INBETWEEN TWO DIMENSIONSSSS

Also, because she rocks the hizzy!

Yaaaay, Cleo again! She is so cute! I am glad for you, too... I hope this signals the end of the art block...

If only I can get out of mine Then I'll draw Shirinara for youuu ;o;

Wow, this is totally wonderful. You've done so many great things in this one. Even though the tail is somehow under her, the figure looks natural, not stiff. There are folds and texture in the cloth and her clothing accessories look great. Your shading often gets washed out by the scanner, but in this one (finally) I can understand what you mean, even though it's still a little washed out in this one. I can see the shading in your metallics now, too. Can't wait to see more!

I think you did a great job on her. i really like her new outfit, and I also don't think that it's tooo fantastic. I mean, the tiara does hold in place if the ends are connected with leather strings or something. XD And I really like her new, even more curvy body shape. She's such a cute character.^^ And it's wonderful to see some new drawings from you!

Thanks so much, Tabby. I really need to keep practicing with drawing different body types, so my characters will stop looking the same.

Ah, I'm glad you finally managed to get your hands to listen to you for a while! I came to check out your gallery when I uploaded that last picture, 'cause I like to see how you've improved and what you've done while I'm not around, and I was saddened a bit when I saw you haven't been able to do much since I last looked. So it's nice to see anything from you right now. :3

And even though it does defy the laws of physics in a few areas, like you pointed out, who cares? It's still cute, and you did a great job on the colouring and actual linework. And I adore the way you did her hair, that just looks fantastic. I think I'll have to spend some time studying how you do hair, I could stand to learn a thing of two from you there. Nicely done!

Hope to see much more from you soon!

Hi ^^, Before you ask I found you through Catgoyle, who i found through Hibbary's how to die paper. Catgoyle said you were good with marker blends and they weren't lying. Your colors are excellent. I know you just go out of your art block as it says in your description (I'm probably one of the few people who ever reads descriptions) and I hope you don't mind a little crtique on your over all style. It's not so much about the little things like clothing folds, or anatomy (which btw you did a good job on anatomy) it's the over all poses themselves. Your poses, thought meant to be joyful and happy, and moving around, are kind of stale. Please don't take that in a bad way, mine are the exact same. In my own pictures my characters are generally looking at the person who is looking at them. I find that simple easy poses with characters looking slightly off the screen can make a wonderful picture as well (and yet i still haven't done it....>.> But really that's it, your style is very well developed

Thank you for the encouraging, helpful, and honest input. Poses are one of the more challenging elements for me, so I particularly appreciate what you said about that.

you're very welcome, I generally don't hand out critique just for the fact i don't wish to upset anyone. So knowing that I can help does make me feel better

Nekomarunosuke [2008-09-02 14:06:42 +0000 UTC]

I sometimes encounter this like situation, the objects or character have some mistakes but it make a good balance for the art. I often forget the tail and add it later then the art balance go bad.

Peachfuzz In reply to Nekomarunosuke [2008-09-02 16:36:46 +0000 UTC]

I love drawing tails, so I never forget them. But I did once forget to draw on a character's ears. It was hard trying to add them later!

I like Cleo's jewelry so much, that I'll probably always draw it even though it doesn't make sense.

I'm so happy you're getting over your art block that I refuse to make a critique, instead I'll just say this is a great beginging to the end of your art block. Aside from the mistakes you mentioned, she looks awesome, the new costume rocks. The detached sleeves are my favorite thing about it. As for the tail cuff, you'll be surprised as to how many anthro characters are drawn with tail cuff. I look back and I've seen myself do the same thing.

As for it staying there... Let's say it's magic. Yeah, magic solves pretty much everything in art.

Peachfuzz In reply to Redmagesalyre [2008-09-01 15:28:40 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much. I feel a bit rusty after not drawing for so long. My hand became tired after like two minutes with the inking pen, and uncapping and recapping my markers hurt my hand. I used to be able to use these tools for hours and hours on end each day without that happening!

I was thinking, maybe there are big fine-pick combs inside the tail cuff. So it tangles in the fur and stays? XD Though, a hunk of metal that big would likely be so heavy it'd rip the fur right out... So maybe it's hollow? I don't know.

I love these jewelry items on her too much to let logic rule, I guess.

Redmagesalyre In reply to Peachfuzz [2008-09-01 18:41:32 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome

I've had those moments where I haven't been able to pick up a pencil and draw something I want, it's like a mini artblock.
Glad you're back in shape.

Fine pick combs? Ouch. I would say it's hollow but I don't know.
