Anyway, yeah. There are hundreds of things wrong with this image that make it look off. Mostly the (lack of) proper anatomy. I uploaded it in the hopes that someone can take a look and go "Oh yeah, this little part is easy to fix if you know/do *this*." Or perhaps even just point me towards some links that could help. I have tried so many things and just can't seem to learn how to draw living things even somewhat decently.
If anyone has advice, it is much appreciated. Thanks.]]>Beopup by Xzontarurn:uuid:9c527189-0f7c-af56-83f7-28e6469e524c2013-07-20T20:34:28-07:00Huh, I can't recall the last time I actually made fan art of someone else's character.
Anyway, just a little fan art of the character Beopup. This character comes from a brilliant little animation short by Sabrina Cotugno. You can easily find it by searching "Kagemono" in Google, you should take a look!
Anyway, the animation impressed me, and I liked the little fox, so I figured it was worth a draw. :)]]>Lasé Speed Sketches by Xzontarurn:uuid:236b85f5-af22-1a09-5b1e-7dc24e3d78472013-06-04T05:09:36-07:00NOTE: Not expecting feedback on this. This was for my own personal satisfaction.
NOTEToSelf: Tried shorter muzzle a first, not sure I like it.
I have the bad habit of nit-picking my drawings while drawing. This makes it take way to long to draw them, not to mention I am unsatisfied 90% of the time and often do not finish.
As such I forced myself to do some speed sketches of her head. Each of these took about 30 seconds. If it was taking longer than that I would move on to the next or finish the main proportions and skip the rest. As such these are rough.
I drew a bit more, but I am uploading these main ones for my own personal motivation so that I remember to draw less nit-picky.
Ironically, I am quite satisfied with how she turned out, and it only took a few minutes! Go figure.
Now I just need to get out of my rut and learn how to draw the rest of the body. :P]]>Zuff and Tessy Quick Sketches by Xzontarurn:uuid:a4df84e7-77c3-36b4-5beb-bb135534d3642013-05-04T06:50:35-07:00Wasn't gonna post this, it was just a quick and fun practice sketch that I doodled. Afterwards, however, I figured it has been a long time since I posted anything with Zuff, and I never really told you guys Tessy's name (by the way, Tessy is that other little character I drew a few times with Zuff and Lasé, I just changed her hair a tad).
P.S., They aren't really foxes like the category suggests. I couldn't figure where to put the pic and I figured Tess has fox-like ears, so... yeah.
I forgot why I used to draw these guys until now. So easy to draw. :P]]>Lasé Reference by Xzontarurn:uuid:1fcfde8b-5c7b-3bf3-4663-057644ce87d82013-03-03T22:38:32-08:00I am making a Lasé reference for myself. This is the majority of it, though I might add a bit more and extend it. I created a few relevant sketches for the background as well, which was a lot of fun.
So yeah, got 4 head references at different angles and simple expressions, a full body reference with color, some airship goggles and her airship.
For the profile head, I used one of David & Liz Lillie's (AKA www.dreamkeepers.deviantart.com ) drawings heavily for reference. Check them out, they have some great stuff if you are into anthro/furry art.
Also, the paper background (not the pencils) are from google.
EDIT: Just realized that the steampunk-esque influence might seem random. I guess I haven't ever submitted any art on here portraying such, but Lasé lives in a steampunk world. So yeah. I suppose I should've mentioned that. -.-"]]>Enter Lase by Xzontarurn:uuid:1a3af3dd-d2c8-c95f-dcc9-e5e40c29eb6e2013-02-04T03:51:12-08:00So yeah, still tweaking things. Decided it was too soon to start a reference sheet because I can't even solidify my style.
This is Lasé from the front, yay. She actually lives in a steampunk-esque town, so I figured I should make her look like it. I only added goggles and wen't "Huh, that actually is enough to do it." So I stopped there. :P Probably will change/tweak her outfit later on.
Anyway, a few irks in this image:
1. Waist is too long (oops)
2. Didn't like her right arm and hand
But honestly, her proportions turned out way better than I was expecting. She doesn't look bloated, which is a first.
I do note, she looks a little different since last time (and WAY different from my original pictures of her). Do you guys think this is a good or bad thing? :P I like how she looks a bit better now, and she is easier to draw, albeit I also think she looks quite a bit more cliché, so I dnow.]]>Power of the Shovel by Xzontarurn:uuid:52de8199-0519-063a-5c3f-65bc426d78342012-12-16T01:49:43-08:00Meh, wanted to do something fun and lax. Here goes. Few issues with angles, proportions (such as the hand) and such that I don't like, but meh, it was just for fun.]]>Lasé Reference (Incomplete) by Xzontarurn:uuid:6234a440-263f-53cb-1e80-60b95d3977fa2012-11-05T05:47:26-08:00I haven't uploaded anything for a while, so meh here is something. Yes, her hair when facing right sucks. Still trying to figure out how it would fall.
Welp! This WILL be, eventually, a full reference sheet for Lasé. I finally figured I would take the plunge and figure out how to draw her in expressions (and a few odder angles) I am not much used to, as well as refining her design a bit more. I will have to fit a full-body sketch once I get to it, as well as some hand/paw angles and other things.
Once this is done I will likely do the same for Zuff and possibly a new (old for me) character I have yet to introduce.
After this, maybe I will actually draw some more goofy/fun stuff, 'cause I miss my insanity! Just trying to improve enough to be happy with my resulting work when I actually do. I have an entire world in my head I want to let loose, I just need the ability!]]>Over The Wall by Xzontarurn:uuid:e7d3cb2b-c14c-ffc4-a5b1-ecf181013fd72012-06-23T00:56:26-07:00Yes, it is an odd pose, I know. I was trying a little more active looking position and my hand was refusing to cooperate which turned into this.
I mostly wanted to draw Lasé from head to toe in this style and didn't want the tiresome "stand and look cute for the audience" pose that always seems to happen.
I was gonna add a pistol to her side, but completely forgot as I had some issues with re-sketching parts (thanks to an application goof-up) and didn't remember to add it. If I REALLY feel like it later, I might do so. But since I didn't, her head piece might appear a little random.
NOTE: Her legs might look a tad odd to some because her right leg was drawn a little too short.]]>BaW Drawing (Guest Character) by Xzontarurn:uuid:96e28c4b-712e-21dc-5cdf-eb1f621262c12012-06-21T17:33:09-07:00Alright, this pic is kinda embarrassing, but it turned out well so I wanted to post it.
I drew it for a user-started contest I stumbled across late (like 10:30) at night that ended the following day. To summarise, we were to draw their character with an outfit.
1. AFTER I drew her I figured I should browse their gallery and found she has an outfit extremely similar (not that this is all that unique either way). (And mine didn't meet the requirements anyways)
2. I didn't have time to finish by the deadline in the first place
3. Her pose itself is similar to the user's reference image in the first place.
OH WELL! I used many references for this 'cause I still can't draw worth a bean without them. I sadly had to actually LOOK UP female Jean shorts for this. -.-"
Anyway, enough of my self-bashing. Enjoy the image.
NOTE: If you didn't catch on already, THIS IS NOT MY CHARACTER.
P.S., Criticism is always appreciated.
P.P.S., NO ONE BETTER MISTAKE HER FOR A MALE! This is the first time I have managed to draw a character EXPLICITLY OBVIOUSLY FEMALE! (Albeit using reference images including one from the owner, heh, but that is beside the point. :P )]]>Finished Snapshots by Xzontarurn:uuid:34601a4a-1d66-ac51-3540-152f6fd237362012-05-03T23:23:37-07:00I wasn't originally gonna post these here. I finished these the same day as my former upload. So yeah, added a profile shot and added some simple shading. There are a few inaccurate spots with the shading, but meh, I didn't care to fix them as these were just quickies.
Anyway, um, yeah. Enjoy, I guess.]]>I was just curious by Xzontarurn:uuid:120074bf-36cd-34d1-6224-faffd17c899b2012-04-25T20:52:02-07:00Man, I really need to think of some-one/thing else to draw. :P
Anyway, NO I will not be switching to this style (not likely anyway). However, I see a lot of people draw in a similar style to this, and I was quite curious what my character(s) would look like in it. This is supposed to be Lasé, though she looks quite different.
I DID draw Zuff as well... but... he looks so absolutely ugly I couldn't bring myself to post him (style just doesn't work for him), so I cropped him out. -.-"
Anyway, this was just a quickie, experimental sketch of what now makes her look like quite the cliché fox.
NOTE: I did use a reference for this for some proportions and placement of the eye (which I still think I put a little too far right). So this pic isn't technically all me.]]>Lasé Zuff Reading by Xzontarurn:uuid:95971a5f-f6b4-3e2d-0836-5766b36bb0f42012-03-04T19:18:36-08:00Yeah yeah, done this before. Since my style has changed, I wanted to try sketching a previous picture to see how much I have changed. Started as a quick sketch, changed into a coloured image, then I decided to do something unusual and try my hand at a little simple shading.
I think I did an OK job with the shading, and think I might continue with this.
Few irks: Bench is slightly off-angle making things look a tad wonky, and I couldn't get her legs/feet to look right. Blegh.]]>Da Music by Xzontarurn:uuid:f7593428-b2d7-318e-c44b-ad6430971d422012-01-22T19:34:24-08:00I had time on my hands, I wanted a clean simple background, so here it is.]]>Merry Kiss-A-Moose! by Xzontarurn:uuid:9316bb7b-5c24-a293-8ee8-84e4292d2db02011-12-25T00:18:39-08:00Merry Kiss-A-Moose!]]>Doughnuts O Awesome by Xzontarurn:uuid:e5af988e-fd30-cd88-2292-e1af425843cd2011-11-13T14:57:14-08:00Ooook... This image had some new-things for me. First off, let me get my irks out of the way:
1) YES!I know that I drew Lasé's upper half too short. By the time I noticed, I didn't care enough to redraw it.
2) I couldn't seem to get her snout right either, she looks a little different for some reason. When I colored it, I fixed it partially, but still looks a little wonky. Guess my hand just wasn't cooperating that day.
But really, this one was fun, I had never drawn Zuff from the rear, so trying to picture the back of his head in my mind was interesting.
People always confused Lasé as a male, to no surprise as I am crap at drawing females. Tried working on that a little. One of my first ever characters, and I still can't portray her gender correctly. -.-"
Anyway, constructive criticism is always welcome if you have any. Thanks. :)]]>Trapped In Sin by Xzontarurn:uuid:d4e5fb2e-d7de-29c0-b983-7f68a581b25f2011-11-05T19:44:04-07:00Welcome to sin.
This was in my head as a strange idea. This is my representation of someone trapped in sin.]]>CountessLasacula (Ext.) by Xzontarurn:uuid:00c3e51e-f12b-5c2b-a790-cdf87ca235892011-10-25T19:27:52-07:00Dnow why they are laughing, but it felt good to draw it. :P
So yeah, decided to add Zuff in for whatever reason. Good practice I suppose.
And yes, I DID notice that they all have nearly identical hair-styles. I seriously need to work on that. >.<]]>Countess Lasacula by Xzontarurn:uuid:209503c7-d52e-7c51-8edc-98889bae19fe2011-10-21T21:23:48-07:00Oh man, I rushed this one big time. :P Bad choice of colors, didn't trim the inking, and left a few "oops"es in the outfit 'cause I was lazy.
I don't usually care for halloween, but it certainly is a chance to throw characters into different outfits. :P So here is Lasé trying out Dracula. I was originally gonna place Zuff in there as well, but I was ready to be done. Might do so later.]]>OogllyBoogly(Small) by Xzontarurn:uuid:8fe6b43a-0c54-280d-0005-38c613c5b2bc2011-10-19T20:31:59-07:00I am just uploading this for my profile, as the original was too big.]]>Oogly Boogly! by Xzontarurn:uuid:7c8efbe6-063f-5507-2e2c-a6e7f0fb10262011-10-19T18:43:12-07:00Oogly Boogly! Oh yes... I said it... ... o_O
Ok so I was bored, and I thought "Hm... Halloween" and for some reason this exact image with that very expression popped into my head.
Kudos to you if you catch the reference in this image. Especially since I pulled it off quite poorly. :P]]>Blegh... by Xzontarurn:uuid:df99c400-70f1-1eaa-b883-5fedd9bfb9902011-10-19T16:00:53-07:00Ok, I was practicing drawing various expressions to get my newer style down pat. Every time I looked at this one after drawing it made me chuckle, so I decided to color it and upload it.]]>Stop getting me KILLED! by Xzontarurn:uuid:b12bf57a-dcdc-e281-008b-f8b1a30949842011-10-17T19:48:41-07:00This is Lasé acting the part of a disgruntled video-game character, or a peeved fellow player (your pick). Dnow where this came from, but I wanted to draw it, and it was perfect practice for a profile view of her.
Still trying to get my slightly changed style right (hopefully this one will keep), so this image has lots of "Wow that could have been done better" spots. Didn't really care about drawing the guy on the floor that well, and I know know for a fact that I suck at drawing anthro feet.
Anyway, if anyone has tips or constructive criticism to throw my way, I am all ears. Cheers!]]>So sorry Lord... by Xzontarurn:uuid:c353e0bd-4ee5-f716-c82b-424e5c5b20592011-10-17T14:19:53-07:00I wasn't originally going to color this, but it felt like I needed to.
If anyone out there feels like her today, just remember your Dad up there is ready and willing to hold your hand, give you a hug, and help you back in the right direction. Just ask.
God bless!]]>So sorry Lord... by Xzontarurn:uuid:8e1c7394-603f-ed8b-33bc-a5dec1a9d1f62011-10-16T21:04:00-07:00If you feel like this, remember your Father is always there to hold your hand, give you a hug, and help you on your way.
