Gift and Request Art: Chival and Akio

Getting back to uploading art here.  I often forget about my own art blog or rather forget to update it so I'll try to regularly keep up with it and update it with what I've done so far.

Starting with two pictures done as freebies.  One as a request started over the summer (the top one) for DaggerLeonelli of her character Akio shown two ways.  I don't do requests.  I decided to take a few over the summer and only offered over Twitter.  If I decide to do it again, they'll only be offered over twitter.  I hope people don't assume that I take requests because of that.  But I'm always free to turn them down regardless.  Besides, this was a fun albeit tough picture to draw and it turned out nice in the end.

Second was a gift for Chival on FA of her character of the same name.  I just fell in love with that design.  Especially the face and the back legs.  I just had to draw her.

Akio WIP- Inks and "Blocking"

His hair in human form killed me! Figuratively speaking of course or else I wouldn't be writing this. While I need practice on drawing nice flowing hair that won't take forever and a day to ink purely due to it's length...and the flowing. I expect that the shading will also take quite a bit of time. But hopefully not nearly as long as actually fixing with those lines.

So far so good though. I wished I got more done on this than just this little bit here but it's better than no progress.

Akio WIP- Sketch

Progress of a request for DaggerLeonelli/Majime of her Shiba Inu character, Akio. I just wanted to draw him in both humanoid form and Shiba Inu form. 'Cause his humanoid form is very pretty. That and I don't draw people nearly enough.

Wanna see how much of this I can get done today. This is almost gonna be double the work of any of my last few pictures 'cause this is separated out into the dog Akio layers and the human Akio layers. Each part is almost gonna be like it's own separate entity in a way. I should be able to at the least get through the lines for both parts. Lines and shading always take me the longest so I'll see how much time this takes up before I get tired.
