Description *sighs heavily*

I know. You don't have to say it, I know.

If you were to drop a WoW druid into a vat of cherry kool-aid, this is what you'd get.

Or, as a good friend said "So, the druid might totally get away with saying, "OH YEAH!" and bursting through a wall? That's a druid I'd want to meet...just at someone else's house."

I can explain!

See, normally I spend about an hour before I EVER color the real picture just fiddling with different shades of different colors, trying to get the perfect combination.

So I dusted off this piece (the cat had already been colored and everything else was inked) and decided I'd be a CRAZY UNINHIBITED artist, and grabbed four colored pencils that looked nice and started coloring. The theory was that if something came out wrong, I'd simply recover gracefully and fix it.

*sigh*

I swear, I SWEAR that bear was brown when I started. I don't know exactly when he started to take on that distinctive kool-aid tinge, but the first four colors I picked were BROWN. And not once did I go NEAR the reds, although I added a purple or two.

And then I added a background, which went WAY the wrong way, and now I'm all disappointed.

Mostly because dangit it looks GOOD in red.

(not the background. The background suxxors, but we'll ignore that)

So...pretend this is an artistic STATEMENT about the inherent duality in a druid's main battle forms, wherein the druid is constantly pulled in different directions, the tankability of the bear versus the damage dealing cat. Red versus blue, on an inner cosmic scale.

Or it's enraged or something.

This WILL be scrapped.

Very different from you. I suspect this looks better in real life.

This is also extremely old (in style, at least) if I were to do it today it would look completely different. And it's also mostly in the WoW style, as it was done from screenshots of the two models. =] And the coloring on the cat looks pretty ick. The bear looks better in real life. More red, if possible. And the background sucks both ways. XD

Um. I was reading the description and I was thinking of two anthros, one on either side maybe. One being red and one being blue, kind of staring each other down maybe, lol.

Sweet. You could even do your main character (in your icon. Cat with the fun ears and tail) and a red version of her. Mirrormirror style. XD Or even a male version of her or something. I don't know. Now I'm all excited. XD

oooh i think it's fabulous! the red isn't as overpowering as you may think. it just shows the distinct difference between the two characters. as always, the shading is awesome and the characters are reaaaallly dynamic and fun to look at

-i used to want to dye my hair red with kool-aid...-

WhiskerWing In reply to xcourtkneex [2006-02-09 02:55:04 +0000 UTC]

XD *smotherhugs* LOVEFORYOU

and kool-aid is actually the most insidious, most difficult to remove dye in existance.

so said the guy we bought our couch from when he was extolling the virtues of the special stain resistant finish. XD
