Description Edit: Ack. The left hind leg shouldn't have that much fur. Oops xD

Ohmigoodness. That took awhile x33

So, this is my first actual deviation where I used my tablet for the majority of it. The lineart you've seen before, and I used to to experiment with colouring fur.
It worked out pretty well, I think!

Now I just have to work on getting my lineart done with the tablet xD My lines are still really shakey!

COLORS! 8DD You've always colored wonderfully - I just love the textures you always manage to insert in your drawings. And now you're getting pawnsomely wonderful with the tablet as well x3333 I'm jealous!

YAH 8DD
Daw, thankyoou <33 But you colour wonderfully as well, much better than I can! Your skills with pencil crayons and digital colouring are to die for!
Fwaah, don't be! I'm not that great. I look at all the other artists who can do sooo much, and I get swamped by the amount of practice I'm gonna have to do x33

Bah xDD I suck at pencils, got better since before but I still don't equal you in quality. OH! Talking about pencils, I finished coloring that page of the comic by hand (we really need to find a title): I just need to scan it. Coloring it digitally would've been massively too long.
Compared to people like Picasso, we're flies x0 But considering where we started and where we're at now, particularly you who has improved in humongous leaps all through these years, I think it's justified x333 And everyone has to practice! Those people who draw super well didn't get there automatically!

Nuu, you're great! Remember that picture you did of Lost a loong time ago, with the coloured pencils? I still love that one! The colours are really pretty <3
HOMGSHREALLEH? 8DD
Fwehehe, fantastic! I guess I'll get started on my page soon then so that I don't fall too far behind, since I take a long time xD

Psh, I think compared to Picasso, everyone's flies xD
Fweheh, thankyoou <33 But you've improved so much too! Not that your skills weren't wonderful to begin with! Oh, which reminds me of something, I was looking at some.. timelines, almost, that people do to show how they've improved in their drawings, and they look like fun! I might do one, sometime, just to see what I've done x3

Hmmm... wasn't that digital? xD Digital's the only coloring I pride myself on, though I'm still not that great at it.
YUSHREALLEH 8DDD
Hah, I'm more the one who's fallen behind, what with procrastinating all the time x0 Don't worry! It'll probably already take me a week to scan the damn thing xD

Uh, yeah 83
Hey, good idea! I'm going to go root up some really old drawings from back when I was in sixth grade x0 People will be horrified at the -coughcough- excrement I came up with.

Well, there was the digital one of him and someone else.. AH! Found it, it was on your old account.

Naah, dun worry, we are fellow procrastinators, remember? x3

Ooh, you have no idea what kinda crap I have in my sketchbook. Heck, I cringe whenever I look at what Kitch started out as.

Oh, yeah x3 Well, that kind of coloring happens once in a million, so... x0 Thanks for finding it, though!
YES! PROCRASTINATION CLUB!

xDDD I think we would all have the creeps if we looked at what we have hidden in the depths of our drawing hoardes.

Whoa. This is one of the few pictures I've seen recently that look really good close-up. The texture and the lighting are fantastic! Oh gosh, for some reason I'm having deja vu over this, and I don't know why...but awesome! How did you do the fur, anyway? It looks fantastic--clumped together, shadows and highlights. Good paw anatomy.

Fwaah, thank yah!
w00t, deja vu! I get that all the time, and it feels really weird and I'm like: 'Wait, is this a dream? Am I supposed to be here?'
x33

It's pretty easy, actually! I used a tutorial by *kesame to help me out with the shading part, and just switched it up a little bit.
Here's the tutorial if you wanna have a look: [link]

He's cuter the way they colour him in the book, though. So big and round! <33

OHOHOH. HOW WAS STAR TREK?

OH YES.

The Russian guy. I died, I really did! He is officially my favourite person in the entire world.

...14 and 17 isn't that big an age gap. 3 years? Nothing!

AHH! I KNOW!
I liked him better in the movie than in the show. He was so adorable!

Psh, go gettim! As long as you're not going for Spock, you have my support <3
'CAUSE HE'S MINE.

Ew, Spock. You can have him... he's much too robotic for my tastes. The Russian guy, however, was amazing. He makes me proud to have Russian ancestry.

Upthendown In reply to gimpbeginner [2009-05-20 23:37:54 +0000 UTC]

DUN EVEN. SPOCK'S ADORABLE.
Nuu, you'd like him better in the show, I guarantee it!

Heehe, he was amazing! And you've got Russian ancestry? Cool! I think mine's mostly Scottish or Irish or something...
HEY! LIKE SCOTTY! I LUFF HIM <33

gimpbeginner In reply to Upthendown [2009-05-21 02:27:40 +0000 UTC]

I LOVE HIM TOO!!! He was my second favourite, after the Russian guy. The accent... oh my goodness.

And I think it's Russian... well, they lived in Russia for awhile, anyways, but I don't think they really associated with anyone. German, originally, I think.

OH. MY. GOODNESS.

He is my new best friend. Probably he's old, so that's why I didn't say lover. I wish I had been there... but fangirling right in front of him would have been a little creepy, neh? Perhaps it's for the best.

Oooh, you're getting your upstairs redone? We're getting our lawn turned into a garden, I think you've heard.


AND OUR TREE'S GONE.
-cries-
It was the Giving Tree!

It's hard! It's taken me a looong time to even get this far, and my lineart is still terrible xD The lines on this one were done with pen on paper.
It feels really different, that's for sure!

Oh, and cheers for the fave!
