Description Don't you guys feel like the luckiest bunch of peeps in the world?? I was right at the tail-end of finishing this deviation when my mouse pooped out on me, so I sucked it up and finished it with my new mouse.

A new picture of Brandy, having to spring Errol from a bad spot. This is Errol's first appearance in a colored deviation, and I changed his costume a little for the occasion (for some reason the guards who arrested him took his coat, but not his hat). The stocks are a bit BS'ed, but they come off all right I think. I'm still trying to improve on backgrounds, but I'm feeling content with this one. I hope you all enjoy!

Right, and Brandy's chastising Errol for getting arrested. She's telling him "there seems to be a sequence of events here..." insinuating she's got to spring him from bad spots a lot of the time, and that's where the title of this deviation is derived. ^^

Fine No Critique for you since you say it is not desired,
HOWEVER!
It said nothing about lavishing comments . . .ha! I win.

Of course your lighting on this is beautiful. I love the details like the melted candle wax. Minor things like that make your picture so believable! Yeah!

Errol is so adorable. You can just see him giving his mother that face whenever he got into trouble. Brady's face is AMAZING! Such a challenging angle. You practically hear her frustration with Errol.

Amazing! Yes. I've said once already. I'll say it again. AH-mazing.

Hahaha Bah, I trust your critiques; I often put that just because I don't want people saying "hey the leg looks wonky wtf", but I know you'll give me a good explanation (in English) and suggestions for how to fix it, so if you want to critique something go ahead, regardless of the note.

Lavishing's good too, though, and I luff you for it! You notice every little detail, and understand what the characters are doing and feeling, which I appreciate SOOO much. It means you're really looking at my work, and for me that's just so fantastic to know. I'm very glad you like this, and hey, I'm glad to hear from you again!

hehe Well, that's not to say I draw with a mouse; I draw the picture on paper first and scan it in, and then I color it with the mouse. ^^

Trounced In reply to cocowash [2007-05-27 15:05:50 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! lol And yes, Errol's probably not enjoying getting scolded by a younger girl, but know that he'll probably get back at her somehow, too.

Are you working for Disney yet?
I see you've been making a whole lot of progress and I still continue to like your amazing and very disneylike drawings. You've mastered the pen and the computer.
Hooray, let's have delicious pumpkin pie

Yeah we can see on Brandy's face it's not the first time she get Errol out of this kind of situation But i don't think he's gonna learn his lesson this time neither
you showed how good you were on background on Balcony Rain i was so impressed discovering it (and still am) and for sure you worked hard on this one too, but i think you use too much the Photoshop filters which deletes your style and gives an impression of automatically-done-thing ...

Trounced In reply to KristenPauline [2007-04-21 13:26:44 +0000 UTC]

lol Errol takes his accessories seriously. And he probably is uncomfortable! I'd would have hated to have to sit in the stocks back then.
Thank you for the comment!

WEWT! What a great illustration, Deanna dahlink. I love the way the two interact xD I love how well you're able to draw that coming across;; their relationship is liek... I donno but very communicateable in this drawing. It makes me giggle I love the coloring job! For some reason I love Errol's right boot o.O i know call me crazy, and Brandy's HAIR! great job, hun, and you're way improving on the backgroundzzz GREAT JOB!

Such a treat to see new stuff from you! Love their expressions and poses--they really sell the idea behind the pic! Errol's bland little roguish smile is particularly nice. He's like, "Yeah, well, what can you do?" Really nice work, mate!

Disney-bubbles [2007-04-14 08:07:14 +0000 UTC]

ha, this is so cool I love it your BGs are definitely improving, I really dig how you added an element in the foreground, and how the elements in the distant background are darker and darker. gives a sense of depth LOL, I like the sign on that INN
the characters themselves are drawn wonderfully, I'm in love with your style of anatomy ^^ and the shading on them is actually very very cool too great job overall, me loves it

ps - I cannot frikin BELIEVE you did this with a mouse. get yourself a little volito2 tablet, they're the cheapest little thing, but they really do get the job done I think I saw em on amazon for 28 dollars last

hanyouvixen [2007-04-14 05:55:10 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, I do love Brandy and Errol. They're one of the most lively pairs out of all of your characters, in my opinion. <3 The background is really nice looking, and I especially like the lighting! <3 Brandy's expression, as always, definately conveys the "sequence of events" part. Poor Errol, lol.

Lovely job, Trounced-chan!

Hahah, this is great. I love their expressions and the lighting! The story behind it is hilarious too. I wish I could pull off something of this quality with a mouse - now that's talent. I'm spoiled by tablets. ;o; I love it.
