Description
Krovendrakk species reference :Okay, this is a picture of my "fursona" (well, the term "alter-ego" suits him better) Vroenfael, a young male Krovendrakk of the Koren clan. You'll find out more about his personality and background later
Oh btw, I'll be submitting a "detail" shot of Vroenfael in the next 5 mins if anyone is interested
. Yep. I did kinda mess the background up a bit. I reffed the sky from a pic off google images, and as for the mountains, snow and river, I didn't use a ref. I REALLY should have looking at that snow effect. -shot-
The mountains though were just scribbled and I didn't really see the point in going over them.
This is actually my first fully coloured digital piece, and my first ever digital background. Lol, I know I submitted the ref first, but I did that deliberately so I'd be able to show people his species, and because I forgot some of Vroen's armour and had to go back and add it. So...erm yes. Vroen taking a leisurely run in the snow while the sun rises. Yeah, he likes snow
Done aged 16 in GIMP using 1 layer and a 12 x 9 wacom intuos 3 tablet. (from ebay
Krovendraekk, Vroenfael and art copyright to No stealing please (not that you'd want to)

Aww thankyou so much Koda! I don't know actually, since I did little tiny bits of it over a period of time
I'm really glad you like it, and thanks for the fave!

Ummm...could you show me a tutorial somtime? lol
Holy f**k, I don't believe my eyes!!!!
It's too hard to believe!! How the hell
did you manage to do this?!
And how long did it take? Y'know what this reminds me of? The work of this deviant:
It seems so similar to her work! And for somone at the age of 16, she'll be stunned! Overall, I am shocked!

Haha - I didn't really do it in any planned way - I literally just grabbed my tablet and started XD! Lol, Vroen didn't even have a ref XD!
Errmmm... lemme think... I don't know how long this took since I did little tiny bits at a time - the mountains only took 5 minutes, but Vroenfael, the sky and the snow took considerably longer
Seriously? You really think so? Khaos just happens to be one of my favourite all-time artists on dA XD!
Aww Fuzzzzz, I really appreciate your comment and your fave, I really do!

Oh yes, I seriously think so! If she saw this, she'd be pretty surprised
Awwww, not a problem at all Zeppy!

zephyrwolfen In reply to Fuzzyhair [2010-03-14 13:00:44 +0000 UTC]
Well, I'd say medium Some bits were really quick, others took a long time, so medium time
Really? Do you want to show her? (I wouldn't, it would seem like shameless self-promotion XD)
Aww Fuzzzzz!

I can't belive you did it with Gimp!
And I think he is ... just amazing!
The pose looks a bit strange, but that doesn't matter at all!

Aww thankyou! Really? GIMP really isn't a bad program
Aww thankyou! Haha, you've finally seen my fursona
Weirdly, the pose isn't that strange - it's 5/6 angle view of mid running sequence double-suspension gallop I'm glad you like him though

Holy shit this is amazing!
Especially the details on your character!
I am truly stunned by this work.
Uhm.
Okay critique. Let's see..
If you look at the high res picture, you can clearly make out the filters you used and the background looks kinda rushed in comparison to the character which is detailed to the highest bit. That's probably the reason why the character doesn't seem to fit into the background. It's like two styles mixed in a picture.
But still, this is a really amazing work you've done! I couldn't have had the patience nor skill to do this. So a huge to you!
Also, I'd reaaaalllyyyy recommend to use layers. really. use them. They make your life and the process of making the picture hell of a lot easier, faster and comfortable.

zephyrwolfen In reply to Shinmera [2010-03-12 19:24:26 +0000 UTC]
Really? I'm so glad you like it Nick!
And yeah, I get what you mean - it wasn't originally supposed to come up that big on the full view And I see that - I started the background first and since this was my first digital pic I got used to GIMP as I went along, plus it was my intention to make the background softer than Vroen to add contrast and a feeling of movement
I'm sure you'd have the skill, if not the patience do do even better than this though ;D
Thankyou very much for your comment and your favourite - I really appreciate it!

I'm not sure about that xD
it might mess up my style. But I think I have to go digital anyway since making a comic on traditional paper is really a pain.

I'm always wondering why people think "Gimp? Shit program, u can't do real art with that!" It has the same abilities as photoshop, just another GUI. And it's open source of course.

Drizzel In reply to Shinmera [2010-03-12 19:19:54 +0000 UTC]
Lol, That is actually so true I use Gimp as well
I was kinda more refering to the fact that it's digital (cause she normally does traditional), but I should have probably made that more clear , lol.
I think people think of Gimp as a shit program mainly because everyone knows it's free but they haven't actually used it.

Shinmera In reply to Drizzel [2010-03-12 19:44:35 +0000 UTC]
yup ^^
but as many programs show, opensource or free programs are most of the time equally good or better. Best example is Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice and of course the whole Linux distribution family.

Since everyone can cooperate and participate in the project they can move forward much faster than commercially sponsored ones. ^^

Drizzel In reply to Shinmera [2010-03-13 08:57:37 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, which would be quite an advantage to them as they can improve quicker, which could make them become better than the expensive programs
