I am seriously so giddy and giggly right now by this you have no idea!
I looove seeing how people interpret my characters with their own flair and you've done a spec-tac-u-lar job with Indie! I want to know more about all of them around! You've improved a ton aswell artistically! Everything's cleaning up and shaping up very nicely! Oh goodness I can't wait to see this all finished and awesome-er.

O rly?
Thank you so much!

Actually, I haven't improved so much as been really lazy before Like, not tracing out an outline first kind of lazy. Anyway, from now on anything that isn't a silly panel gag is going to get a proper line-arting. (Took me about two hours to clean up from the sketchy version that's right next to this one in my scraps as well)

Hehe. It started with this really [link] when I decided I wanted to do a bit of artist tribute. On hindsight it was rather poor in quality as a spur-of-the-moment thing so I decided to give the second round a proper polish.

Anyway, the other 3 artists are the ones right below yours in the artists' comment box.
There's a very SPECIFIC reason why I wanted these 4 together

Once again, thank you!

Laziness kills us in the end everytime, lol.
You've got such an awesome collection of some of the more varied werewolves around DA!

One little detail though on Indie ( I swear I forget myself half the time) He has a septum ring like a bull. It's a small one but it's there.

Oh yeah, I think I didn't include it cuz I wasn't sure where I should fit it under that weird nose of his. I didn't want to just cram it in somewhere and look silly.

Reiner was hell to draw for me, cuz Reiner has so many little details in definition of facial muscles, oddly cute expression, fluffy fur... ^^ Indie took a bit of getting used to and it was better.

Freakaru In reply to TheTinkerThinker [2011-04-07 00:23:57 +0000 UTC]

Reiner's an awesome were. I don't know much about his character since I've only started watching Bubbi for a few weeks now.

Yeah...that nose is tricky because all it is is a man's nose that's been streatched. It might help if you find the center line of it and work off of that.

TheTinkerThinker In reply to Freakaru [2011-04-07 00:36:39 +0000 UTC]

I had more trouble with Reiner's nose, because it's like part of the snout instead of it's on little piece ^^
Indie's nose was fine for me--it was his hairless eyebrows that confused me at first.

You've managed to spot my weakness sir. Their hair patterns are something that I'm constantly tweaking and reworking (much to the annoyance of lol). His eyebrows are there, I just choose not to draw the fluffiness sometimes for clarity's sake. (especially in the drawing w/ his 16 y.o. self) I think this: [link] is probably as close as I've gotten to a good show of how the hair works on my fluffies.

TheTinkerThinker In reply to Freakaru [2011-04-07 00:48:45 +0000 UTC]

Well, at least the hair for the most part looks natural enough.
I remember that piece (shudder). He looks a good deal older there and a lot creepier. The way his hair stuck out in there reminded me quite a bit of bristles of certain household equipment ^^

Warning: The resemblance might be uncanny.

They do have a lot of resemblances don't they, teehe. Thank you so much again! I can't stop staring at how lovely all of them look together!

They're quite the happy quadret.
While colouring them, I also realized just how each of them has emphasis in different areas :3
With Reiner, it's the soft, fluffy fur and tones.
With Indie, it's the sheer human-ness.
With Boregard, it's the sheer badassery.
And with Fandoth, it's the age, and probably the most beautiful eyes I've ever referenced.

You know any other werewolves around I should take a shot at?
(Versa will definitely have to feature in the next bit :3 but don't say anything in case it goes so horribly that I have to backpedal)

I love the focus points! It just goes to show what each artist values!

My lips are sealed. I can think of three: Salem's main man Tom: [link] a big poofball of a were that I don't know much about named Oz: [link] and Viergacht's James: [link]

TheTinkerThinker In reply to Freakaru [2011-04-07 21:33:10 +0000 UTC]

Oh oh, TOM! Yes! XD Oz is a bit of a grey zone for me, so probably not. As for James... I really don't think I have the skills necessary for that.

But how about females? I'm thinking I've drawn enough of the dudes already. (Yeah, beating myself with a stick there, females indeed!)

The only female that I can think of is Sylvie from

TheTinkerThinker In reply to Freakaru [2011-04-08 08:38:27 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes, her I remember too!
(Is it because both the aforementioned females could have pounded any male into the ground many times over? XD)

Freakaru In reply to TheTinkerThinker [2011-04-09 00:04:53 +0000 UTC]

most definitely...and I'm buddies with both the artists, lol.

TheTinkerThinker In reply to Freakaru [2011-04-09 00:26:54 +0000 UTC]

Heh, even amongst werewolves the females have support groups.
Except that they probably would be a lot less gossipy and more action, I imagine.

At first I read that as

"What a happy bunch

and therefore, NOT my characters."

TheTinkerThinker In reply to Leonca [2011-04-06 23:08:36 +0000 UTC]

Bwahaha! It's true. I AM nasty to my characters--each of them have been through at least one traumatizing event in their lives.
I'm not spoiling the caption that's going to go with the full coloured version yet

Yes, so I guess that's a good two hours work of cleaning ^^
