Description I seem to be doing a lot of traditional media images these days! It's a shame I've only got a small selection of markers. I need to get a full set really.
Anyway, this was done on A3 in marker, pencil and gouache. The marker went a bit streaky due to the paper I used, but apart from that I'm quite pleased with it.

Ooh... So beautiful! ^..^ Is he inspired mainly by chameleons, given the eyes and the curly tail? It's certainly the prettiest anthro chameleon I've seen. Stunning painting.

Nice job with the Jackson chameleon. I love those things. You really captured the eye and its odd pivot-socket appearance. Yay, reptiles!

Wow... just HOLY CRAP.
I love how he's hanging upside down and how his colors blend in so nicely with the tree *kind of a dumb thing for me say since he's a chamelion, but I just felt like saying it :B*

Hungry little lizard. That butterfly is clueless. Will it go to butterfly heaven, butterfly hell or will it haunt the chameleon?

Uh, seriously, I don't see anything to criticize here. It's pretty.

Wow, that's some cool anatomy. It must be awkward to draw a character hanging upside down in that pose, but you've emphasized the gravity perfectly. ^w^

Dude, how do you scan an A3 picture? O.o

Swirlything In reply to Snowy-Fox [2006-02-21 16:45:15 +0000 UTC]

Scan one half at a perfectly straight angle, then scan the other half at a perfectly straight angle, then spend ten minutes trying to make them line up properly *dies*
You can probably see a join if you look closely. I HATE scanning A3 stuff x_x

This is awesome, lovely blend of medias, and the chameleons expression makes me giggle. Well...the entire drawing makes me giggle what with the pose and expression and title....X3;;; Very creative pose as well, it looks so natural. :3

Man, a few weeks ago I was trying to draw an anthro chameleon and failed miserably. this is awesome, however. very well done, especially considering you didn't have many markers.

DM-Knuxlight [2006-02-20 13:33:42 +0000 UTC]

the lighting is very nicley done, especially with markers How long does it usually take for you to color something like this?

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

Swirlything In reply to DM-Knuxlight [2006-02-20 13:46:58 +0000 UTC]

Not that long, since you have to colour it -fast- (if the ink dries, you get streaks x_x)
A couple of hours for the markers, then a few more for the pencil and paint over the top.
