Gorgeous colors! I think I have seen the ref (or there are more similar bigcat photo's). Love how soft the fur looks.

another beauty elly, love the full and rich colors in this one! 12 hrs? oh yeah I can do that, but I cook and play poker too, lol, what were you doing? j.k. each one is better and better!

Wow..beautiful! The fur looks so soft! Absolute master piece!

This is beautiful Star! You sure got the hang fast!

You should be a professional artist the way you put these things out. I can't keep up with them. Somehow I missed this one and tought the last one you did was the only one I didn't see. The parchment and the way it curls really adds to this. I don't know what the sharp tool is I will have to see if I can find it next time I draw. What applet do you use to do these Starz? Is it the Lasaux? It is the one I liked before I joined another site and they didn't have it and I started using the shi-painter (not the pro) Now I am more used to that one.

I love the colors and background (I suck at backgrounds)

Lol.. thanks Kath

Now, see I look at him and I expect him to start reading his poetry as I sit at my table sipping my coffee and sucking on my cigarrette and snapping my fingers when he's finished reading about how dead the world is and how he lost his tricycle when he was a kid.

WOAH...trippy...
exactly what sweetcell said.

Nevermind her Tiffylops, she's a stupid cunt.
This is cool.

But we're totally bringing the swing slang back. You dig?

thanks guys. ok

Great job on this one....let's eat!

just love it dahr-ling, great feel to this, love the thick painted look! another great pic!

hello jpjp....I found you both....whoopie. A littlle birdie told me that you two have gone, as the birdie said, to the dark side! I have been wondering what has happened to you! Great to see you work again which as always is wonderful!!!! You are missed at sketchfu. I see gel_o is up there also....now I know where folks have disappeared to. Have to go say Hi to him also.

Aww fanks Aubsey!

It's me again....this is so pretty! I can see that I'm gonna be looking at your work for a while, I've been missing out! :o)

Hi Kathy..thanks

Well, you are getting there. Now for the eyes ues the solid round tool, much cleaner. Make one point of light source (left, right) and add the highlights on that side. Add the shadow on the other*duh* Try some deeper oranges as shadows for the eyes (it'll make them pop) And when doing feathers use a thinner brush on lowwwww opacity and build them up, darker, then lighter as you go. And for a bg may I sggest some kind of barn. Keep it up.

Thank you Sweetcell

Hoo, hoo, hoo...good job on your shading and colors Wizz. :)

Well, this is certainly better, much improved.
If your having trouble with lineart the best way (I've found) is to use the airbrush on med high opacity and flow (bottom right, the little dials) then apply it thick, then take the smooth erasure (there are two kinds) and on med low begin to shave down the lines. It takes time but it's worth it. Also take advantage of the bezier tool (the squiggly tool) to get nice curves, and the circle square etc.

Thanks guys

eeeehhaaa! Good pic and detail here Wizz. You do have a style that is distinguishable. Like you're style...:)
