Maybe he's an innovative enough mechanic to be worth the wait? I just really wanted to draw a sloth and I liked the idea of him hanging from the pipes...
Thank you! I think the background has some perspective issues, but I'm proud of the coloring.

Innovation is definitely worth the wait! Perspective issues? I don't see them. And you should be proud of the coloring, it's very good. I still can't seem to work my pencils for backgrounds, lol.

Well thank you! The gear on the bottom right is just sort of floating around hanging out, and the big ones on the left I'm not too sure about the angle of.
Coloring in the background solid brown was really the ugliest part.

Just a question. What do you color first? The background, the character, or do you just work side to side or top to bottom or something? Just curious.

I almost invariably color the character first, while every art teacher I've ever had drones in my mind telling me I'm doing it wrong and backwards.

That's interesting. I don't do many traditional backgrounds, but I find myself coloring characters first as well. However, I've also found that doing the background first and saving the character for last makes me more energized to finish a picture. Having an art teacher telling a student that they're doing something wrong or backwards? That is really just wrong... shouldn't an art teacher be encouraging? o.O

I've had encouraging art teachers too, but the traditional method is to do the background first, and there's a lot of good reasons for that. I'm just always anxious to color the central focus of the picture.

Anxious? Me? Never! XD Thanks for answering my questions, I always find it fun to read how other people go about their artwork.

You have a steampunk car!?? I'd love to see it if the engine looks like that inside. ;D

Thanks! I think it's one of my better works.

I like the animals that you don't see in art much, I guess. I like aardvarks and sloths and strange things.
I bet he doesn't have a whole lot of manual dexterity, actually...

Heheh, I'm trying to do more steampunk anthros, and I just happen to really like sloths.

That's a selective topic. XD I like mechanics for some reason, though. We'll see. The steampunk anthros do seem to be popular. You saw the steampunk jackrabbit, right?

Thank you! It's got perspective issues, but I'm happy with it overall!

I drew the sloth first, then the pipes and gears, and it's belatedly occurred to me some of those gears are really off. I shouldn't draw things backwards that way.
Thanks!

Thanks! The screwdriver was basically an excuse to show off the little fangs, which I'm not sure why they have, since they eat leaves.
