Commission- Jolteon Sketches

Sketch sheet commission for thedeedeedee on FA.

I imagine Jolteon to be some sort of fox/jackrabbit hybrid. The stature and facial structure of a fox. The ears and partially the body type of a hare. The tail is some mix of fox and hare. Possibly with some quills (aesthetically the way the fur stands on it's tail seems like they might be quills but I doubt it).

Latin Vixen- Color WIP 3

Still working on the fur for this. The neck fur is pretty much done. The muzzle and hair are what really need to be worked on. It's another realism picture that I haven't touched in a long while. I want to finish this up over Christmas break though.

It's a gift picture for one of my favorite fursuit makers, LatinVixen, of her character that I suppose goes by the same name.

Latin Vixen- Color WIP 2 ("Furring")

This is going much better than I would expect. I like the shading and lighting so far. Green is a bit of a difficult color to work with for fur (it's not a natural fox's color of course) but I'm managing. Going to work on her hair and face a little bit more later as well as fill in the rest of the spots around her eyes.

Latin Vixen- Color WIP

An artist on DA gave me some advice about how I can make my realism a bit better so I'm testing out blocking out my shading and lighting before detailing the fur. So everything looks all mottled and ugly and weird now. I'm just trying to stretch the shading and lighting as much as I can...well not so much that it looks crazy and too dark and too light but trying to find that "just enough" area.

I'm not gonna mess with that anymore. Just gonna detail her fur now. Or start detailing it at least.

Sketch- Latin Vixen

This girl has to be one of the main reasons why I really wanted to try fursuit making. The costumes she makes are absolutely gorgeous, sleek, smooth, and brilliant. Doesn't matter if it's hyper-cartoony or extremely realistic. Her drawing style is really beautiful as well.

Had to draw her a little something. This is her fox character...LatinVixen. I'm not sure if she has another name. I'll eventually show this to her when I color this up. I'll probably center this sketch better in photoshop.

I needed to add in my plan for a background here. So I looked at a few pictures. Most of them had fox kits playing or laying in tall grasses. So that's what I'm choosing to use here. Initially I was going to add in a fox/wolf den back there so it doesn't look like she wandered too far away from home since she's a baby.

I planned on having this finished in time for Anime Central so I could have something else to sell there. Unfortunately, due to the picture's complexity, I don't think that's a possibility. So I'll just continue working on this slowly. I do want to add in her eyes soon. It just looks weird without them. But I do love how this is coming along.

Realistic Vulpix for the Newbie

So I just joined up here 'cause I've lurked around and I like the site layout so I decided to join it. This'll be my site for all my better works as well as stuff I'm working on for animation in terms of storyboards and character designs. So for my first post is the current thing I'm painting: a realistic baby Vulpix.



I may be 19 but I still love pokemon for the sheer fact that they are extremely fun to draw realistically. Vulpix is one of the easier ones to render, but I hope to try my hand at some of the more difficult ones. I had a lot of references for this 'cause I haven't drawn a realistic fox before. But it was a little difficult at first to try to figure out how to render the fur. I used photos as well as 2 tutorials to try it out and I'm really happy with how it's looking so far. For people familiar with pokemon and particularly the pokemon Vulpix, you may (or not) be wondering about why she doesn't have 6 tails. Well I was reading some of the game descriptions of this pokemon and they say that baby Vulpix are born with only one purely white tail and as it grows it splits into 6. So I decided to play off of that and draw a Vulpix with a mostly white tail that's partially split in two.
