Shyla

Scythe's picture
It is way past my bedtime, but I just had to finish this before getting some sleep. This is Shyla, one of Shiori's deer and a picture that I have owed her for at least three months now. I kid you not when I say that I work on anywhere between one and four pictures in Photoshop at once; it's why I rarely finish things, (that and I have the attention span of a goldfish, but that's beside the point). Anyway, I am sure that there are plenty of anatomical and proportional issues here, but I had a lot of fun with her pelt and the water beneath her hooves. I truly apologize for the wait, but I hope that you like it, Shi. ^__^

Wow... the detail... it's

Wow... the detail... it's far from amazing here... the markings are so soft and real looking, almost as if you took the original pelt texture and pasted it on here.

Too awesome...

... Um... how are you at drawing wood? (^^') eh-he...

It's beautiful! I'm in love

It's beautiful! I'm in love with the pelt, it almost looks like it's covered in a million little feathers!
And even though I'm probably not the one to say, but I think her expression fits her a lot. Shyla is a real beauty <3

And somehow I find it kind of funny that Shyla's pic is posted above Paavo's XD

The detail of this is

The detail of this is extraordinary. It's perfectly clear you've put a lot of time and effort into this. It's beautiful. The fur looks so realistic, the water looks so peaceful, and the anatomy is fine! Her expression is so sad; nonetheless, she looks beautiful, and I'm certain you will go far with your talents in the future. Well done, and keep up the excellent work! <3

Zabrath: Many thanks, Zab.

Zabrath: Many thanks, Zab. ^^ I used a screenshot of Shy as a reference for her pelt and, while I originally thought that I would grow to hate all of the markings, I think it has become one of my favorites. The Great Argus is really a gorgeous bird, and its plumage certainly makes for a fun pelt. As for your question, do I sense a hint? XD I'm kidding. I would love to draw Edin for ya, if you don't mind waiting anywhere between a week and a few months. Hehe. Seriously, I wouldn't mind at all; while I haven't worked with wood surfaces all that often in the past, I just love playing around with textures and shading.

Avani: Thank you so much. ^^ It sure felt as if I was shading in a million feathers as I was coloring her in. XD It's a rather time-consuming process, but fun in its own tedious way. And hah, I didn't even notice Fled's picture of Paavo beforehand; (then again, I posted this around three in the morning and didn't even notice what was on my desk at the time). Funny stuff. XD

Pride: Many thanks. ^^

Enkou: Thank you so much for the kind words. ^^ Seriously, talk about a confidence booster. XD While I'm actually not much of an artist at all, I'm actually a quirky science folk, it truly means a lot to hear that.

Fledermaus: Many thanks, Fled. ^^ I had a lot of fun with the pelt, and I'm glad that other people seem to like it, too. I wouldn't mind working with it again some day, so maybe I'll tackle a picture of Masque some time in the future. He's a fun one. XD

Kaoori: Thank you so much. ^^

(^^') Was it that obvious? I

(^^') Was it that obvious? I hate asking people to draw stuff for me... I just feel that if I can't draw it myself then why bug someone else?

*sighs* I guess I just want to 'see' Edin so badly... but I can't draw wood, bark, trees in general...
I was thinking about making a blog asking if anyone could be willing to try and draw him for me, but then I feel like I'm begging... me no likey begging...

I really don't mind, though.

I really don't mind, though. Heck, I'm offering. XD Do you have a basic picture or description that I could work off of? I have a pretty good idea of what he looks like, thanks to the RP and such, but a reference of some sort would be very much appreciated. Just let me know. ^^

Well this is the only

Well this is the only picture I had started to draw of him... I see him as being far more weathered though, being that I see him as being over 100 years... Thick bark on his back; much like you see on an oak, walnut or maple. Softer, smoother bark on his neck and belly.
He would be of course covered in mosses and lichens, and some tones of green on his face and belly from algae and even a few vines(both alive and dead) and maybe even some grass, lol... poor guy is a walking forest, lol...
His mask would be very weathered, maybe even chipped in some places; it's dark in that drawing, but I would have chipped it away some if I knew I could finish it, but every attempt at drawing the bark failed so badly... His antlers as well would be very chipped and such...

Yes... Anyways (^^')

Shi: O'rly? God... I didn't think anyone was planning on drawing him, lol... he just seems too hard to me I think... even thought I love the idea of a peaceful tree spirit deer, lol...
I'd love to see him drawn (^^)

Shi: I'm so glad that you

Shi: I'm so glad that you like it, Shi. ^^ I really do apologize for the wait, though; it surely says something when you don't even remember requesting it. XD; Anyway, I had a lot of fun working with her. She really is a beautiful character, even if she doesn't believe it herself.

Zabrath: I'll see what I can do. ^^ I may even be able to get started on something this weekend, as I'm finally heading home and away from school for a few days. XD
