...While outside in the cold distance
a wild cat did growl
Two riders were approachin'
and the wind began to howl...

ok i think i figured out how it can be fixed if she wanted to..take the darker line out from the bottom part of each ear where the off white lip/edge meets the bronze colored part and instead just make it a transition from bronze to off white ...not necessarily a gradual one but just rather than that darker line-ish. maybe. but yeah sometimes it doesnt looked cupped.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Mar 17, 2004)

They are exactly as they are supposed to be... they are able to cock their ears at that angle. It is something they do when they become predatory and aggressive. One of the fascinating things about them. In some photographs I have seen of them, one ear will even be cocked upward and the other outward. (In this one, his left ear is actually cocked up from the back of his head inward more than his right one... his right one is almost in between stages.) Strange, I know, but an accurate depiction.

I considered doing them the other way, but I thought it was more interesting like this... I couldn't decide if it would disturb ppl and take away from the essence of him.. perhaps it has, maybe I'll change it, I don't know. Does it bother anyone else? (It would be extremely easy to change if it is disturbing)

Deformed (edited Mar 16, 2004)

Is that supposed to be tidus? If so it does not look much like him.I don't mean to be mean but the lines are kinda sloppy and the coloring is too. His face looks kinda deformed and the bg could use some work but otherwise i like the subject. Tidus rocks. :D

SaheraNights (Mar 15, 2004)

er....Rikku ..i think its supposed to be Zidane

anyway, Rikku is right. you need more time on it..and..uhm.....oh forget it

fleeting_memory (Mar 16, 2004)

haha I love FFIX so as soon as I saw the title I was like oo finally someone draws Zidane! It looks like you're just getting used to the apperatus that you are using-but don't give up! Keep at it and keep at the FFIX characters yeah! Oh drat that reminds me I need to go finish Vivi in my collab with Gigandas---bah

Thear (Mar 17, 2004)

yeah...it´s not Tidus... It´s Zidane from FFIX...

I once met a cat that I tried to stare down, I swear I must have stared at it over ten minutes and he never looked away...kind of spooked me. I think it was possessed.

davincipoppalag (Mar 10, 2004)

lol hey a Cat Eye from ICat..! interesting...Yes..cats are spooky when they stare you down...in medieval times they were beleived to be the carriers of demons for that reason...

fleeting_memory (Mar 16, 2004)

haha EyeCats-wow I didn't even notice you said that Divinci-ok I'm blind-I love cats-even wh they stare you down cause then you just get taller than them and they have to look up and if they're too proud to do that they just look at something else..lol

Hair and Oakaki

fleeting_memory (Mar 15, 2004)

Ok couple questions-first-I know this has been asked before and many times before that-but has anyone figured out how to get rid of the little white horizontal lines that appear on your picture in Oekaki Shi-Painter when you scroll up and down? Or is my computer just messed up? Second, does anyone have any tips on hair? For example, realistic hair like Gig's Legolas or the cool shiny effect in all of ToraNeko's pics? Any response to this is greatly appriciated-thanks you guys

DOOD! Have you ever put peeps in the microwave?!! It's fun. They get, like, as big as a football. They taste pretty good roasted, too, to the point where the sugar gets all carmelized and the marshmallow get all gooey.... *reminisces*

Nice picture. ^__^

Fin_beast (Mar 11, 2004)

That looks like that fizzy slush thingies you can get from places in the summer.
They are really nice!

dixielandcutie (Mar 11, 2004)

haha, i'm with you two...not a cat person at all. but i like your draw. nice work!

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 11, 2004)

But, Axil...., I wasn't joking..... ;)

two-na (Mar 11, 2004)

I also have a dog, who is such a beautiful dog! She is a Great Dane and I love her to pieces(I chop her up and cook her all the time!) OMG yes ^O^ Now after seeing Axil's glass drawllllling I must indeed draw the wuff-wuff to follow up the meow-meow, if you catch my drift(drifting ever so slowly down a river somewhere)

oh yeah and thanks everybody, if there is anything you have to say....

fleeting_memory (edited Mar 14, 2004)

ooo I kinda like this-its very modern artish...butt the shading on the nose bugs me a lil but I like the colors you used. Sheesh all these non-cat people-how sad, cats rock you poor people are just deprived, don't get me wrong I love puppies too but cats are my babies! *eeeeeeeee* *stands between DBA and a cat she is about to shoot*

the sword was difficult. it is supposed to be..um..at the same angle as the handle. i guess you could say its parallel to the handle, but stuck in it. suggestions? (even though i can't change it)

Gigandas (Mar 10, 2004)

Yeah, I saw that too, Marcello.But I figured someone else would bring that up anyways, so I wouldn't bother mentioning it^^;.But other than that, I don't see any really obvious problems.

dixielandcutie (Mar 11, 2004)

oh very nice. i love the little 'bang' at the bottom. colors are awesome too. nice.

fleeting_memory (edited Mar 14, 2004)

I'm guessing Fantastic by Method_3 was your inspiration then? Haha this is very nice-the sword is a lil weird but I love the brightness of his red sash and the lil bit of green that contrasts the darker colors of his cloths and skin-the circles under his eyes make him look mad and tired-I would not want to get in his way

dixielandcutie (Mar 10, 2004)

ok, i really want to figure out perspective. if you could help me, i'd appreciate it. this might take awhile though. please don't delete it though, i promise it's going somewhere.

i would love some suggestions on it so far...the piano looks tilted. how can i fix that? and *roughly* does the person look ok? unfortunately i don't have my reference handy. hehe. so this is all from memory.
