Group of Commissions

Various commissions that I've finished in the past few weeks. 

Power to...Regret Nothing?

I'd drawn a literal version of the Tatoba combo as purely a joke and it was supposed to stay that way but...I didn't anticipate falling in love with my own design.  So I wanted to draw him more, gave him a personality, and wanted to draw him under the influence of the Putotyra medals.

I also uploaded progress shots of this months ago but didn't finish this until recently (a few weeks ago).  Most of my digital paintings take forever but I didn't mean for it to take so long.  Class work got in the way of me finishing this before halloween so I could use it for an icon  I can use it for an icon this Halloween though.

Mostly practice for 1) drawing a bird's beak from a front view, 2) semi-realism (drawing something "realistically" but not going all out on texture like I usually do, 3) drawing a semi-realistic literal Tatoba, and 4) lighting/shading.  While I like doing realistic work, I think I prefer this way of painting it more.  Mostly because it's more time efficient and it doesn't wear my hand out as much.

The eyes turned out more pink than purple but the effect still works just as well.

I don't know if I'll draw him under Putotyra's influence again.  I like him much better as a happy character.  Yeah, he's a joke character and thus technically "not mine", but I still gave him a personality and everything for fun.  And I made him happy, optimistic, and a bit "derpy" (for lack of a better word).  So for the most part he'll stay that way.

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.

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...
