WIP_Free Convention Badge: Spyke Tyranno_Sketch by Tigress

Fri, 19 Dec 2008 06:32:19 -0000

Sketch of the free Halloween badge for Spyke Tyranno for being one of the lucky (and fast) responders to my free sketch and badge offer! I freakin' love this character and I really enjoyed figuring out the photon gun and uniform. I loved Ghostbusters and it was a nice walk down memory lane to research and draw this scene. I still gotta figure out the lettering a bit better, primarily the stuff up right.

Fredrik Field Mouse -Work In Progress- by Tigress

So I'm going ot start a series of paintings that I will dub the "Once Upon a Time" series. These will be a series of undetermined number of paintings, kinda like cute illustrations, the sort you'd see in an old time children's book. Each painting will introduce a new character. I'm going to come up with cute little stories for each character. I have no idea how many I will make. I'll make them until I get tired of making them I guess. Anyways, here's an in-progress painting of the first character, "Fredrik Field Mouse". Isn't he cute? Yes, that is cardboard. I like the old, kinda worn hardcover book look it gives it.

DeeCoyote Commish Finished? by Tigress

Not quite. I am seeing some things here and there and they will bug me like a nagging drippy faucet in the back of my mind if I don't fix them, but it is almost 1:30 and I must sleep as I have work in the morning. I will wake up and work on this first thing. =) Anyways. Here we have the Hobo Coyote strolling a merrily down the road. I added the crappy slapped-on background because I was tired of him floating in the void of white space as he was for the earlier parts of this process. There are some detail shots there for clarity. Today we see how he likes it.

Kinkajou -WIP- by Tigress

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 15:43:46 -0000

X-Posted from two FA posts I started coloring and holy crap I was going to trash this earlier this morning. I'm glad I stuck with it. I'm really happy with how it's turning out and I learned a lot and got to test some methods and curiosities I had. =3 <3 *** It's got a background. Hu-rah! I tried out a cross hatching technique relating to foliage that I read about on a colored pencil site, so feedback is very very much appreciated. I like certain parts but dislike others and would really appreciate feedback.

Commission - DeeCoyote -WIP- by Tigress

This has changed so drastically since the start ;.; http://www.furaffinity.net/view/837479/ So yeah. I've been working on this for a while. It's so slow going. ;.; The fur takes forever. It's because I'm still experimenting. This is a WIP. I'm now getting to his chest. I need to hurry up on it. I've still got to do his entire lower half, arms and tail. He needs more whites and highlights, then I'll get darker darks and some blacks. The outline will be less visible in the end as well. I put a few close up shots of the detail I've been working in on this. I am so doing close detail studies of fur soon. Please critique and redline if you wish.
