Design Practice

Design practices.  Just playing around with drawing various dog breeds and messing around with colors and markings.

I don't believe I have anything to do with these characters so I may try selling them off.  That or I'll find things to do them. 

I think my favorite of the three is the Rough Collie.  That one turned out the best.

Commission- Sibertyger

A commission for Sibertyger on FA for a character design based off of a Tiger, a Red Fox and a Red Panda.  After doing the OOO literal versions that I've done I was dying to try doing more hybrid characters and opened up a few slots for them.  This is the only one that took but still it was good character design practice and ended up being a pretty cute character.

I do think after looking it over that maybe the body could be a little shorter but that's about it.

I love Red Panda tails.  They're so fluffy.

CandyDog- Joy

CandyDogs are a species created by IceKrystal on Deviantart as a bit of a "mock" of the sparkle-animal phenomenon. Though, I really like unnaturally colored animals. They tend to be more interesting than naturally colored ones but that's neither here or there. Joy here's just another design to add to the CandyDog pack.

Really I'd started a design for here years ago but never finished the first one. But I wanted to revisit the design and I think I made it much better both in colors and markings but anatomically as well.

Taka! Tora! Batta!

Tatoba...Tatoba, Tatoba!

Finally finished with this. Stripes and shading gave me trouble, but yeah. Finished! Time permitting I should give some of the other medal combos a shot. Definitely the "Tajador" (Hawk, Peacock, Condor) combo. And the...cat one...lion, tiger, and cheetah...think that one was called "Ratorah" or something like that. Also definitely Pterosaur, Triceratops, Tyrannasaurus Rex (Putotyra...right?...I should really remember these combo names better...) one. But that's for later.

This has to be the most intricate character design I've ever made. And the most colorful. And I can't even claim it as a fully original character...

Draw-a-day: Days 1 and 2

So I wanted to do my best with a "Draw a day" challenge. Just to draw something everyday. Technically this would be day 3 and due to weekend plans I probably won't get my next picture done until Sunday, but just wanted to see what I can get done in a day. And how much I can get done in a day.

Both of these are characters I "bought" using the points system on Deviantart. The picture on top is the finished product of Day 2. An unnamed Fennec Fox. I'm really partial to those markings, especially the facial markings. Maybe I could make a mask of it one day. It might be a fun challenge.

The bottom character is a Jackalope in which it's color scheme was described as "Neon Panda". As a sucker for a blue and green color scheme, I had to "buy" this guy.

New Character- Afghan Hound

Yet another unnamed character I've created. This time an Afghan Hound. Afghans have got to be one of my favorite breeds due to that luxurious coat. Also lime green is one of my favorite colors so I couldn't resist making a lime green Afghan.

The list of names is narrowed to Emerald, Jade, or Jewel. I'm leaning towards Jade or Jewel. Probably Jewel 'cause Jade is too obvious of a name for her colors.

New Character- Strawberry Ramune Soda 'Roo

Not so new...she was designed 7 months ago.

There was a whole fad going on a 7 months ago where people were designing kangaroo characters based off of different sodas. It's died down now, but I still like the character and plan on making a costume of her.

For reference, Ramune is a type of Japanese soda that comes in many different flavors. Her design is based off one type of the bottle as well as the soda itself. Her hair is based off the green "cap". The necklace is the marble that the bottle holds. I'd love to see if I could make her hair removable if I get to making a costume of her.

New Character- Unnamed Red Panda

She doesn't have a name quite yet. Lily has been suggested as a name but I don't think she looks like a Lily so I'll keep thinking of a name.

Vanimute on deviantart designed this beauty for me. I just suggested the colors black, turquoise, lime green, and hot pink and let her do her own thing with the markings. I love them.

I'm definitely going to have to make a costume of her. I just really would love to make a mask with those colors and markings.
