Description Okay, this picture was drawn SEPCIFICALLY so I could just let my fur do it's thing and see where it's trying to go, cause I have no idea. Alright, not, first thing is, my scanner destroys colours like orange and red. Hates them.

Okay, also, if I do switch to this fur style, I will have to completly re-learn shading, and fur directions, and pattern, and transitioning from one colour to another, etc, etc. So realize I'm practically starting anew.

BUT, I think this new fur style has the potential to be pretty damn cool. What do you guys think? Any tips on my fur?

Your fur is excellent. I especially like how even the black paws have a nice sheen to them. The picture overall is ver seductive, so I would think this new style is pretty nice. You should do whatever you want, though; if you go back, that'd be fine.

Wow! This is incredible. I can see great potential in this if you keep at it! Having to start with something new'll also help improve some of your drawing skills. (Not like you need it though )

First off, I want to comment on how much I love her eyes!

Okay, now seriously, I love how her fur looks! It looks long and flowy, very cuddlable! Yee! I'm excited to see more colored in this fashion! It's so real looking, the hair is a little iffy, but as you said, this was just for the fur, and I have to give you major props on that!

I HATE YOU! that is so good! holy crap kid! ahh!
the fur is awesome for your so called first attempt or w/e!
the pose is so awesome! AHHH I WANT TO KILL IT.
*grumbles... *blows up in anger...
*sulks in fact that William is better than Kiartia...
okay, I wont kill you or your drawing, and maybe i freaked out a little too much but its still an awesome picture. ^_^
keep up the good work, I say this new fur works good.

First attempt in this particular style.
Better? Not even close. I'd take the way you do fur SO much more.

Thanks much <^^> Don't be too harsh on Naetholix, that's just the way a guy's brain is

Hmm... I like the added feeling of length and thickness. But otherwise, I suppose I don't have much of an opinion.

docabsinthe [2005-05-25 20:00:15 +0000 UTC]

I think you did a pretty good job with the fur. Very good. I use ref pics of RL animals and then try to transfer that to anthro. I also see what the really great artists(Heather Bruton, Dark Natasha, Monika Livingstone for instance) do and adapt that to my style. This is not always successful Don't know what you're using to render black but I attended a panel at AC hosted by Heather Bruton. She used burnt seinna and cobalt blue for her blacks. It works. If anyones scanner/software not piss them off please tell the rest of us what you're using. --docabsinthe

WilliamRichard In reply to docabsinthe [2005-05-26 19:26:22 +0000 UTC]

I've tried looking at real life and other artists myself, and found that neither helps much anymore.

Hmm, burnt seinna and cobalt blue, I'll have to try that. Thanks

Thanks much <^^>

Refkins [2005-05-25 19:22:56 +0000 UTC]

Looks amazing! *nods* I like it. *ususally prefers lack of obvious fur in anthros, but it's really nice here*
I'm afraid I can't help you much with fur tips, though I'd mention that the fur along her side (area of the rib cage) makes her seem sort fo boney due to the placement of the darker shades. That may have been the point, I don't know, but it definately gives her a prominent-looking rib cage.

On an entirely different but more anatomical note, but something funky's going on with the arm/hand closest to the left sid eof the paper. I think this wrist is a bit thick...

But I'm being nitpicky.


Anyway, it looks awesome, Will. *grin*

WilliamRichard In reply to Refkins [2005-05-26 19:22:54 +0000 UTC]

I agree, the fur along her ribs is messed, I kinda screwed it up Too much contrast there, you're right.

I know exactly what's wrong with hre hand- I didn't care I just wasn't concerned enough to get it right.

Nitpicky is cool

FuzzyBunnyTisMine16 [2005-05-25 19:17:30 +0000 UTC]

the fur like this makes it look longer and...you know how when a dog lays down on its side then it stands up; how its fur is all flattened? that kinda what this looks like. so ya i like it, but i also like your other style. ya thats it. use this if you wanna make it longer and it would have been easier to tell the difference if you had set up maybe half and half so you could just look at one picture and see the difference. yeppers. lol. i like it but for little things. ttyl.

Challenge yourself. I like it. Gives a lot of texture. Just watch for any too thick spots of fur. You know, that sort of thing.
