Description
Giftarts for *Quaylak ! I commissioned some stuff from her earlier in the year and the originals got lost in the post. D: So she had to print them out and send them all over again and I felt awful about that, so I drew her character for her. I'll be sending the original to you, Quaylak! ^^Quaylak ©

I GOT TO GO AROUND MY SCHOOL HALLOWEEN PARTY AS A HIPPIE AND SPREAD LOVE AND PEACE AND FLOWERS
I don't trick or treat. :3 We don't celebrate Halloween where I come from, so I never have and I'm not a huge costume person, but I love being a hippie! Thanks!!

You're one of my favorite artists, all of your work clearly has your heart and soul put into it, and I love seeing that and feel compelled to comment almost every time.

swift-whippet In reply to WilsontheElk [2008-10-23 02:22:46 +0000 UTC]
LOL! She's actually more like a cheetah-snow leopard hybrid of sorts, which is why her tail is so fluffy and she's less rangy than a proper cheetah. Very awesome character ;3 Thanks, glad you like!

She's sort of a cheetah-snow leopard hybrid, which is why she's so fluffy and all. Real cheetahs are much more rangy and angular than that. ;3
Yay blue! and thank you. :3

Oooh, nice. 8D The anatomy looks nice and I love how you did the mane! The shading's cool too. ^^ I like the glow around her (?) too.
(Pity about your commissions, but at least you'll get them. 8D)
Just curious, what colour pencils do you use?

Thanks! She's a sort of cheetah-snow leopard hybrid of sorts, which is why she's sort of stocky and fluffy for a cheetah. :3 Glad you think I did okay with the anatomy, thank you!
I used these coloured pencils that my parents got me when they went to the UK. I've been told they're pretty much the same as Prismacolors, though, which I use too. :3

Interesting. XD Mixed species animals are cool.
Ooooh- are they Derwents? 8D I use Derwents. <3 They're awesome.

No, they're Prismacolors. -> [link] xD I had Derwents for a while but I disliked them. They were the studio pencils, though, not the proper coloured ones, so I probably didn't get the best of that.

Midnightrainne In reply to swift-whippet [2008-10-24 05:32:48 +0000 UTC]
I LOVE prismas, I have some watercolours I got from the states. <3 They're much better than derwents, but my mom didn't want me to buy a huge set of the prismas and find that I didn't like them. I wish art friend stocked them, unless they actually do and I don't know about it. XD
The studio ones are supposed to be quite good... but I use coloursofts so I wouldn't know. XD

<33 Aww! I've just been working on school stuff, and most of what I've been creating in my free time lately has just been silly doodleshit which I don't want to upload. I'm trying to finish stuff and put it up, though.
Thanks so much, Sunny. It means a lot.

Quaylak [2008-10-17 17:57:29 +0000 UTC]
Oh my goodness, Swift! SHE'S SO CUTE!
I love how you drew her anatomy; she's all short, big-pawed, and stubby-looking and very "cheetahmonster"-ish. lol Seems like you really paid attention to my spastic anatomy notes/thoughts on her ref. XD! I love the coloring and her cute little pose and everything. Thanks so much for this, and no problem with the resend! I told you I felt awful about the bitsies being lost, so I had to make it up somehow. Couldn't just leave you hangin'. ;3
Can't wait to get this in the mail and I hope THIS doesn't get lost, too! hahaha

<33 I loved your little notes on her ref! I just love it when people think that much about their characters and reading the rambles. I'm so glad you like her and yes, it's the fair thing to do in that situation, but I still felt bad you had to send them again. So thanks a million! I hope it doesn't get lost too. eek. So far though I've mailed out a few things and they've all arrived just fine, so yay!

Thanks very much! She was interesting to draw since she's supposed to be a sort of cheetah/snow leopard hybrid, anatomy-wise, and both cats are built so differently. I just love drawing cats of all sizes, though!

REally awesome work, I like the way you blended in the colors and the bits of green in the fur. The anatomy is nice and the glow adds an interesting touch ^^

Why thank you! I like putting glows behind my characters if there is no other background.
Oh, this happened months ago and yes the replacement commission was received. I was really annoyed with the postal service though. >_>;

Aww....I had ordered some books in the mail one time and they got lost too. I've seen where some folks offer buyer's insurance, probably cause of cases like this.
Nice job on this pic...maybe you should draw big cats more often...
