Description
I was quite surprised by the feedback that I got on the work-in-progress of this. There were between 20-30 favs of it O.O Even though I had merely shaded but a small portion of the face and hair. And most of the details were not evident or drawn... so I finished it. It's usually quite strange for me to actually do a drawing over a couple days as I have been doing this one since I usually do a drawing within one day in one sitting... (I'm obsessive like that).If you missed the comment on the WIP thingy, this is Toast, one of the characters from a short comic strip I make for myself between drawings, called Butter and Toast. I don't really post it anywhere. Toast loves all types of sweets and flavorful food, and he can easily be distracted by the plent aroma of food cooking. His sister, Butter, is a few crayons short of a full set--if you know what I mean, and can be distracted by virtually anything that moves or is pretty. So... they loose each other often. The style of the comic is less detailed and loopier than this drawing though.
I hope you enjoy it.
Edit: Yeah, I totally aware the hands too big XD Thanks for noticing though ^^.
Thank you so very very much for the DD~! I feel so special ^^

Amritsar In reply to sashas [2006-08-04 19:01:27 +0000 UTC]
You're welcome. Yeah, I avoid backgrounds most of the time because I'm not naturally very good at them, so I have to use reference and it takes forever to do. *drag* You're work really paid off though, the whole pic is awesome!

Aaah, a fellow mechanical pencil shader! Congrats on the DD.
This is a neat picture--the expression makes it look like the character is looking at something interesting off to the left, the unique hat draws my attention and makes me smile, the glimpse of the view outside of the window makes me want to lean around the character and see what's out there, and of course the shading is smooth and lovely.
Hehe...just noticed the parallel there with the pocketwatch on the hat and the clock tower outside. That's interesting....it piques my curiosity and makes me wonder just WHY the character is standing there in the first place. What are they waiting for so casual-seeming...?

Thanks very much for such a nice long comment. Yay for us mechanical pencil shaders :3 I'm glad you like his look and his hat. It's one of my favorite parts of it outfit
Heheh. I think he's wondering where his sister is, assuming she's gotten lost again, and then thinking about whether he will have time to go to the Chinese food place on the corner and be back before she finds her way... XD

Threshie In reply to sashas [2006-08-05 03:44:17 +0000 UTC]
Hehe! Ah, so he's a food-minded kinda guy--either that, or h's just hungry right now. I like that you know what's going on in the scene--it's not just a random snippet of imagination harnessed in graphite.

sashas In reply to Threshie [2006-08-06 04:40:06 +0000 UTC]
He's definitely the food-minded type ^^ Yes, I always fun to find out what's behind the scene being drawn... always makes it more interesting to me ^^
