She's a snow queen because the snow came up to my knees the day I drew this.
Happy Halloween everyone!]]>Floating in a Dream by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:29e6bbfb-2582-6e01-864c-892fcbc838692009-07-27T17:31:00-07:00ZOMG, is it an actual submission from me?!?!? Wow, I need to get on here more often. Heh.
Well, since a friend helped me get Blender running smoothly on my computer (turns out all I needed to do was update my graphics card drivers), I'm finally taking the initiative to learn how to use the software. So, a demonstration of rigging, posing, and rendering using my premade model of Kitty the Hedghehog. The textures of the model still need some work, but it's getting there. And at least I can find my way around the Blender interface now.
So, the only postwork on this guy was adding the white background and my sig. I forgot to turn off the feather when I selected the blue background to delete, but I liked the effect and thought it looked dreamlike (hence the title).
Well, I'll cut off this description before I bore y'all to tears.]]>Request for TonyatheFox by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:4b5265c4-ab8a-d1d3-e5f8-d95077937a262009-07-12T00:48:20-07:00Wow, was it really April when I submitted my second most recent thing? Sheesh, I need to draw more I guess...
Anyway, this was a request for TonyatheFox. I think I'm a little out of practice...]]>Kratos and Raine by Namiko-chanurn:uuid:79f2346a-42de-3f73-8742-61e84cc5c81d2009-05-12T09:35:06-07:00This is a request for Grasshopper16, i hope you like it. ^-^
Sorry the background looks crap. -___-

Took waaaaaaaay too long to do. XP Thought it would look good cell-shaded, so I did that too. Not too happy with it in some places, but hey, practice is practice.
Besides, it's been WAAAAAY too long since I've done some real Sonic fanart.]]>I Bonk You With My Toaster by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:2a62d7cb-a1a8-290d-5779-733bde29cd212009-04-12T16:26:37-07:00So, a while back, I left a comment on this picture ( http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-718072.html ) that said it looked like Tails wanted to bonk Sonic with a toaster.
Oh, my random mind.
But, from that single statement, this picture was born.
Then the text was inspired by Mythbusters and a friend at: madmen.deviantart.com
Anyway, this has been sitting in my sketchbook for waaaaaaaay too long. I mean, I've improved a lot in the time since I did this doodle. XP that's what I get for being lazy I guess...]]>Sketchy Shadow of DOOM! by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:ab022ad9-d4a5-2392-e67a-c3a1b3b4609e2009-04-05T19:30:33-07:00Sheesh, it's been too long since I've just drawn Shadow.
People are getting confused as to why he's wearing clothes, so here's the description from Deviantart that explains it better (and I was too lazy to copy/paste at first)
Just was sketching today and this came up. It's a play on an old outfit I designed for Shadow a long time ago. (I really should start putting some of my old sketches on here...)
I totally need to learn how to do realistic folds in clothing like Tala777. Right now I just sort of take the random lines that appear while sketching and expand on them.]]>Sketch- Kitty the hedgehog 1 by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:a519e963-9bf2-986f-8b11-32fe63ee865b2009-03-10T17:33:06-07:00So, some ignorant person had to go and tell me that Photoshop is not art.
That "The computer does all the work".
She's obviously never slaved over a picture for 14 hours.
Still, it opened my eyes to the fact that I'm getting a little rusty in traditional media.
So, you may not see me doing much Photoshop stuff for a while.
Instead, I'll start with pencil sketches, and eventually move on to colored things, all made in traditional media.
But I'll still use Photoshop to enhance them. Since I created a custom action to remove notebook paper lines, I can doodle in my notebook without fear!
Due to FAC's quality standards and 3-a-day restriction, most of these sketches will be heading to DA, so take a look there if it seems like I'm not doing anything,
Oh, and ignore the horrendous proportions. I was focusing more on the pose than anything. If I decide to refine this I will correct that.]]>Watch me Fly by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:0223ca6a-535a-dca0-8c17-87655be8ecba2009-03-04T17:48:01-08:00Inspired by Tala777's wonderful pic, 'Power of Sound'. That's where I got the inspiration to sketch this.
I was originally going to have "Castles in the sky" as the song, but... I discovered that Crush 40 doesn't just do Sonic songs.
This one fit better. It fit me better.
Listen to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g6fa1aRLtk&fmt=18]]>Forestree the Chameleon *gift for icekler* by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:08351dfd-5bb2-e856-f904-f3ea6d0d0c922009-02-25T11:59:29-08:00A gift for icekler. Hope you don't mind me drawing your char!
There's a funny story behind this. I started sketching to practice perspective, and it turned into a Sonic character. I changed who I was going to make it several times, then I decided it would look good with icekler's character Forestree.
I did this in a different order than most of my pics, as I did the background first, then Forestree, because I wanted to get the lighting just right. There are a few things I'm not completely satisfied with, but I think it looks okay.
I'm planning on putting a step-by-step thing on my Deviantart account. Same name as this one.]]>Pose Test - Kitty the Hedgehog by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:f37c292b-c722-a6e5-563b-65963b1e8b312009-02-12T16:25:22-08:00Just a quick pose to make sure I built all of the joints correctly. That's what's given me problems in the past, and I found a few things that need refinement, but overall it works pretty well. This also served as a rendering test to make sure the geometry would come through the smoothing process okay.
Slight postwork in Photoshop, mostly tweaking the lighting and adding the mouth.]]>Squall by Namiko-chanurn:uuid:2d278ac8-7c06-6d7e-d0f7-d85583c3c8d02009-02-11T19:45:34-08:00This is a request for Sukooru, i hope you like it. :)

I've been working on this model on and off since October of last year! I'm sure by now you recognize my character, Kitty. No introduction needed there.
The textures still need a little fine-tuning, but it's mostly all there.
Stats on the model:
1384 polygons
2646 triangles
4 associated image files (2 1024x1024 textures and 2 512x512 textures) -- I usually keep it a little more compact than that though.
Edit: Oops, forgot to add my watermark! Hope no one stole it in my 1 1/2 minutes of forgetfulness...]]>Infinity by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:771c4215-ea33-fe8f-40bd-9bd9a7bba4152009-01-24T14:06:27-08:00The artist is part of the art.
The drawing has become the drawer.
Reality becomes distorted.
Reality is the distortion.
The borders between pencil and sketch
Become sketchy themselves.
As long as art lives, it is...
Infinity.

Wow, I get deep on lazy Saturday afternoons. First, I was staring at my hands, next thing you know, I'm drawing this! It started as practice with perspective and Photoshop painting, but turned into much more than that. I kept the sketch lines on the hands because I couldn't get the lines to define themselves with the shading, then thought, "Well, that's cool", and went from there.
Photoshop CS3]]>Chinese Spiral 3d Model by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:eb29441e-d60c-789f-4d7e-36bcd40029e92009-01-12T16:01:39-08:00I have soooooo many things I should be doing instead of this... Oh well.
Anyway, I saw a wikihow article on how to make a chinese spiral, but since I was short about 80 popsicle sticks, I decided to make a model of one.
My process: I first made a stick. Then I duplicated the stick, stuck this stick on the first stick, and rotated it 6 degrees around the y-axis. Then, I combined the two sticks, duplicated them, stuck them on the originals, and rotated them 12 degrees. Combined the 4, duplicated them, stuck them, rotated them 24 degrees. Rinse, repeat, until I was rotating a batch 192 degrees. Then, I just put a third layer of the current stack on, took a few off the top so it wouldn't be so symmetrical, and added a "hanger" (really just a streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetched out cube).
Hope ya likey!]]>Sliding Through the City by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:efd7a119-6d83-6a2b-e355-4b119f50dfb62008-12-21T15:55:59-08:00Gawd, I've been working on this forever!!!! Let's see, I started this the day I did my gradient shaded Kitty, so that would mean... This has been in the works since August. -_-'
I figured it was time to finish this up and submit it, so I slapped in a cheezy background, added some effects, and sent it in.
Hope ya likey!]]>Some Photoshop painting experiments... by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:520ff0af-19d7-7f93-9519-620c78f76b072008-12-21T15:07:17-08:00After too long, I'm back with a new picture! And what a horrible submission it is!
Basically, I was just toying around with "Painting" in Photoshop. I see people that do these wonderous works of art with no lines, and they almost look like they were done in real-life media. Needless to say, I failed to replicate the effect.
Since I drew these, I have improved slightly, but I found these and thought they were worth a laugh.
Enjoy laughing at them all!
P.S. Two out of the three are fan characters, so it's going in that category.]]>What are you DOING? by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:14b4af24-41ab-1b55-f646-dcc883982bcd2008-10-13T17:11:05-07:00Because I doodle when I'm supposed to be doing something else. LOL
Maybe I'll make a series... "Freaked out Sonic characters"... Nah, too much work.]]>Treble Clef Lighting Experiments by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:36399331-763f-134d-6adc-c4a55d85f2d42008-10-09T18:07:26-07:00I was playing around in Wings 3d today, and I figured I'd take the time to figure out how to use lighting once and for all. I also installed the POV-ray renderer, so I tried that out too. I liked these two the best, so I figured I'd share them with the world.
As for why I was working with a treble clef, I was also experimenting with importing vectors from Photoshop, and I happened to choose that shape to test with.

I love the way the background came out. ^^
But I may have overdone the sparklies.

...
Now I don''t really have anything to say...
LOL
I wish the rings were shinier...]]>A sketchy thing for Gadoink by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:bb05b242-e19d-7485-dfaf-688464df311b2008-09-15T18:01:37-07:00I'm not technically taking requests right now, but Gadoink asked really nicely and the character seemed like she'd be fun to draw, so...
Here's Violet, Gadoink!
I may have taken a little artistic license in a few places, but hopefully this looks somewhat like your char.
I am beginning to worship Photoshop. I didn't have to lift a finger to do the shading.]]>Oh noes!!! (Colored) by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:53bbc7dc-c8e8-96b9-81f0-82dd7a46d53b2008-09-03T16:40:13-07:00Not much to say, just the colored version of the sketch I put up before, with a few things tweaked. I experimented with blurring cel shading to make more precise soft shading. It didn't really work in some places.
Whatever.]]>Rings and Chaos Emeralds: V 2.0! by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:fd0167ae-1b66-f5ff-7703-0fc53cc2c4f52008-09-02T05:22:02-07:00Well, I was bored and decided to improve upon my previous model. I figured out how to make the emeralds sharper (though transparency is still biting me in the bum), and improved the rings a little. I thought it looked pretty good, so I figured I'd share it.
Hope ya likey!]]>Kitty the hedgehog: Gradient Shaded by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:b3676ce3-4ae7-2cac-3866-f96981903d292008-08-30T17:32:05-07:00Holy pie, did I really draw this?!?!?! Wow, this turned out better than expected for a change. I don't think I will do gradient shading too often though, it's really fiddly and time-consuming. I like the way everything turned out about this!
So, I was drawing Kitty, then I realized that I haven't drawn her in so long I kind of forgot some of her details! So, I ended up with an earring-less, simplified shoed, wristbanded, fluffy-bangs version of Kitty. And you know what? I liked it, so I'm keeping this look! Yup, this is what Kitty officially looks like now! (You know what? I think this version would be easier to translate into a 3d model... Not that I'm planning on doing that or anything. *shifty eyes*)
On a last note, pen tool and drawing hands do not mix well for me.
Hope ya likey, 'cuz I sure do!]]>Oh noes!!! by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:118df95b-8024-f492-31f4-40b609820fa62008-08-29T17:48:48-07:00Oh noes! Sonic's been sketchified!
Heh, seriously, I was just doodling and I liked the sketchy look. Yes, I start out Sonic with a circle, and Yes, I use different colors for different body parts. Gotta problem with that?]]>Request for meXmyselfXIZ by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:9a0ab167-8d5c-662d-9903-74ef4edb307b2008-08-27T16:01:33-07:00So, normally I don't take anime requests because I can't draw anime (Seriously, what about my gallery says, "I can draw anime characters"? There's nothing but Sonic in there people!), but I took this one because I figured I could fudge it a little and just make him a cat. Then I remembered I can't draw animals either. T_T So I looked at my cat for a reference when she was sitting on top of the computer. But then I had to redraw it a little, because she's huge.
So, enjoy this horribleness I call a picture that was inspired by my fatso of a cat.]]>Cheerleaders *request for Starhero3* by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:8b3306ce-d89d-b871-f8ed-1675bb62c3c02008-08-24T14:14:34-07:00Yay for Photoshop filters that make lazy shading look cool!!! Though Sonia's skirt still bugs me... Oh well, here it is finally! I had to make the boys a little peeved, they're in skirts for crying out loud!!!
Why do I always get weird requests? Seriously, I could have handled girls as cheerleaders, but the boys too? Let's make this perfectly clear guys, from now on, I will do no gender-bending, crossdressing, or anything else your sick minds can come up with.]]>Request preview for starhero3 by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:b07be53f-19f5-59be-9c77-3908339e7f0a2008-08-09T15:19:48-07:00First off, I would like to apologize to starhero3 and meXmyselfXIZ for the continued delay in the delivery of your requests. Crunch time has come for my other project, and I seriously need to finish this. However, I should be able to complete these sometime soon, probably after I complete my current assignment and before I get my next one.
However, for the time being, here is a little piece of starhero3's request to prove I'm not just being lazy. I have the lineart for this one completely done, and the coloring started. The lineart for the other request has been started as well.]]>Rings and Chaos Emeralds by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:c19b9799-b092-41c8-2c2e-f976768a6ac12008-07-18T18:29:15-07:00Well, it's just some practice in Wings 3D with UV mapping. I finally figured out how to actually do it, so... expect more detailed patterns on future models.]]>Chao in 3D Finished! by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:20b6eef1-c9d2-687e-11c5-bcb522c406642008-07-12T13:33:04-07:00Well, my chao model is officially finished!!! Turns out adding color was easier than I thought. It did slow down my computer a little, though. But, on the bright side, I found out how to change the rendering settings for higher quality, and I also lightened the background and made it put some shadows in there.
The only major changes (besides the coloring) are that I upped the polygon count and reconstructed the wings.
You know, for my first 3d model ever, I don't think I did too bad. It certainly looks better than the chao I draw in 2D. Heheheheheheh...
Anyway, I kept the base chao model uncolored and saved a colored copy so if, in the future, I wanted to make, say, a hero or dark chao, it would be easier.
Software used: Wings 3d (freeware version)
Hope ya likey!
Edit: Just realized! This is my 300th picture!]]>Chao in 3D (WIP day 2) by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:405cf767-6072-4e8e-f12a-069a50011add2008-07-11T18:30:05-07:00Well, some major improvements to the chao model here. Most drastic change is that I added the wings and floating ball, but there are other minor changes as well. I redid the arms from scratch so they would be easier to manipulate; made some changes to the feet to make them look more like feet; resized the body a little to more accurate proportions; and began shaping the head a little more. The changes that you can't see are simple things, like combining the eyes and head so that they will move together, instead of individually.
And yes, I am working on my requests, I have the sketches for both done, I just need to line and color them.
Hope ya likey!
P.S. The reason you can't see the floaty ball in two of the images is because I rendered from an angle that it was either blocked or cut out.]]>Thank You, ShadowsGirlfriend1_0!! by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:76d5757a-35de-848c-2273-4085c63d1f4f2008-07-11T12:39:25-07:00Thank you very much, ShadowsGirlfriend1_0! Even though I don't know exactly what the stuff on my new shirt means, at least now I know it doesn't say "Joe's Kung Pao Chicken". Thanks so much!!!!!!!]]>Chao in 3D (WIP day 1) by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:4020f7fc-18f7-0413-ca98-275438d38db72008-07-10T16:07:37-07:00I know, I know, I have requests to work on, and I am sketching them, I swear! I just needed a break and got to playing around in Wings3D, a low-polygon-count modeler I found (because Blender was frustrating me), and then before I knew it I was making a chao!
So, no texture, no wings, no little floaty ball of doom yet, that'll come tomorrow.
And don't expect any cool poses, I don't know how to make a skeleton yet or even if this program can do that. The finished one will look like this.
Hope ya likey!]]>Spines the Ghost *random gift for Ali32* by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:64e4cf72-e516-7354-cfb4-04fd8fa5e8762008-07-03T13:30:25-07:00Well, I was playing around with the pen tool a little on Photoshop and realized that if I tweaked the stroke path settings a little I could make really wispy, ghosty lineart. I wanted to try it out, but was tapped for ideas. So, I started randomly browsing my friend's galleries and happened across Ali32's character Spines the Ghost. And thus, the gift pic was born!
Hope ya like it, Ali32!]]>Marine as a ninja *request for SonicJordan* by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:5794ca00-b1c3-a02d-151c-db2821b470572008-07-02T16:14:34-07:00Well, if you can ignore the horrible anatomy, this is a pretty cool pic. Did some more experimenting around with this one, mostly with textures and hands. It's a little hard to see, but I actually used the same brush I used on the grass to texture the ninja suit.
I actually don't have that much to say 'bout this one. Except that the tail gave me a heckuvalotta trouble. LOL
Hope you like it, SonicJordan!]]>Maddie *request for dingocat* by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:470a766f-7924-c3b0-029a-2e16b2e782a82008-07-01T19:51:24-07:00Well, I'm glad this is finally done! Been working on this one all day! Sheesh...
Anyway, did some experimenting around with this one, both with digital techniques and stuff like anatomy and perspective. I downloaded the 30 day trial of Photoshop CS3 from the internet today, and I used it for this pic. Have to say, it threw me for a loop at first, but I figured it out pretty quickly. It does really nice lineart with the pen tool. ^^
Sorry if the colors seem too dark, I need to figure out how to do nice textures without sacrificing color quality.
Anyway, hope you like it, dingocat!]]>Joey the Batfox *request for super1sonikku* by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:fcf89981-d821-1cd7-b3f1-700e223bf7842008-06-25T16:13:58-07:00Welp, I'm taking requests again, and this was one from super1sonikku. Hope I made the right call on the gloves, I couldn't see the hands in your piccy, so...
Hope you don't mind I used your char as a guinea pig for some anatomy and perspective experiments. It turned out pretty nice, so...
I'm still working out the intricacies of SA style, but I think this turned out okay. Very easy to shade when there are only 3 colors in the pic. LOL
Anyway, hope you likey, super1sonikku!
Edit: Oops! Forgot that the bangs are blue! Fixed now!]]>Gail the Hedgehog - Colored SA style by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:bdf5a225-e16c-373c-4ba5-9ebd9ffa9b442008-06-21T14:52:45-07:00Well, considering my last attempt at SA style was in September 2007, and this picture needed to be colored, I figured, why not knock out two birds with one stone.
Now I remember why I don't do SA style that often. It's tedious. Very tedious. But, when you're all done, it has a nice result.
I was too lazy to put in a background. I was too tired to do much else with it.
But, on the bright side, I discovered a really easy way to color, so you might be seeing more pics from me soon since I can finish them faster.
Hope ya likey!]]>SA style Sonic head by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:5c2dc199-75dc-817d-8366-1950d35db6c72008-06-21T13:33:33-07:00Dug this one out of the bowels of my old art folder the other day. I did it around when I did my last picture in this style, http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-628333.html last September. I dunno why I never submitted it, but I figured, hey, why not.
Anyway, please no critiques, I have improved lots since then and this is just for historical purposes.]]>Shadow - 2006 to 2008 by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:f3dbb6f3-dcc0-7dec-3496-0a0b7937b0352008-06-13T19:31:50-07:00"What can I say, it's Shadow, hovering, with an emerald... not my best piece of work... and i really need to work on my hand poses, but it's one of my best pictures of any hedgehog from the front."
If anyone remembers what pic that description is from, good for you! Two years ago exactly I drew the Shadow on the right. Today I did the one on the right. In watercolor. Because I was bored. ANYWAY... http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-436028.html
I realized that I had drawn the original picture that I based the new one off of exactly two years ago, so... I was promising to do a comparison picture soon anyway, so... Two birds with one stone.
I also learned I stink at using watercolors. Had to do a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of cleanup on Photoshop. Also had to reconstruct the stripe on Shadow's left (our right) leg completely from scratch using the color on his stripes. But it was worth it, when compared to the original and uncleaned version.
Hope ya likey!
P.S. I had originally redrawn the pic at a friend's house but I let her keep the sketch so I redid it.]]>Character Adoption!!!

1. 1 character can be adopted per person UNLESS 3-4 weeks pass and they aren't all adopted.
2. You must draw the character at least once after adopting.
3. You must draw the character within a month of adopting (but if you're working on the picture and run out of time, tell me, and I'll let it slide cuz I'm nice)
4. You may change the name, but it must be approved by me first.
5. If you have read these rules (and plan to adopt) put the word "strawberry" somewhere in your comment.
6. If you don't like something about the character, you may choose to change one detail, and only one. Eye color changes don't count toward this total. Again, run the change by me for approval first.
7. It's up to you to decide their personality, age, etc. OR even if you want to give them a profile at all.
8. NO YAOI OR YURI!!! No exceptions.
9. If you plan on following these rules, please also put the word 'cheesecake' in your comment somewhere.

For the cool effects in the background, all you need to do is take the gradient tool, select any one you like, set the mode to 'Difference', and start drawing lines randomly.]]>Haru by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:2563bd8b-7085-dbc5-cf01-a7f87b0bfc062008-05-31T10:51:06-07:00Just another character from the story my friends and I are writing. I think The fur could have been better if I did it by hand, like I did Addie's hair, but I got lazy so I just added noise and smudged it. Still, better than just flat shading though.
And please don't nitpick about the anatomy. I don't really draw regular animals that often and I don't plan on doing it again soon in the future, so...
And yes, he does have five tails. It's just another story thing, like the purple water in the last pic.
Anyway, hope ya likey!]]>Addie by kittyshootingstarurn:uuid:e3a27953-2a52-dd1c-2caa-020c00b6f8a02008-05-30T14:25:09-07:00Welp, this is a character named Addie that my friends and I created for a story we're writing. I don't want to give too much away, since we're hoping to get it published, but I can tell you about how we came up with the design for her. We had all drawn very different ideas for how we wanted her too look, so we took the parts that looked best from each drawing: my head, my friend's hair, my other friend's body and legs, and my arms, and stuffed them all together in one package. Then, I drew the final sketch, and since I'm the only one who has Photoshop, I colored it and added a background that's a scene from the story.
Yes, the water's purple. Deal with it. XP

Anyway... Not much to say about this one. It was just a random idea that popped into my head whilst my computer was out of commission... So... Whatever.

I found it while looking through it today and thought I'd finish it. This is just the lines, coloring will come later because I'm lazy.
Sorry my siggy is so big, I just want to try and deter art thieves from coloring this and claiming it as their own.
Anyway, I did the lineart in Inkscape, if anyone's wondering. Wonderful program, a tad hard to learn to use correctly, but once you know what you're doing it really rocks!

(I give her long sleeves in winter and short in summer. I also tweak anything that's been bugging me, that sort of thing). So, introducing... a reference for the new Kitty!
Please note: When I draw her I will change the earrings to reflect whatever I'm wearing in real life. Otherwise, her default earrings are gold studs with a turquoise jewel. ^^
I decided to experiment a little with textures in this one. I had originally only planed to texture the wall, but the contrast with Kitty was too great, so I textured her too. I think it turned out okay. The combination of texture and cel shading is interesting... I might have to do this again sometime.
