From a high school kid to a fully fledged adult larger-child. I've changed.
From an innocent flapper to an EDGY flapper. Emmy has changed.
Never stop drawing, guys! I don't draw regularly, nor have I ever really gotten into art class, but even I've improved over the years. The second picture isn't perfect, nor is it complete, but I'm more proud of it seeing how much I've learned about art.
Art is all about growing and trying new things, so try not to compare your drawings to somebody else's. Your art is as unique as your hand writing, and you're going to progress in your skills in a way that is completely unlike anybody else.
3rd time reuploading! Made mistakes and the picture failed to load or something... In my defense, this is my first time posting a picture so I got confused with file sharing and all that jazz. Nevermind, I figured it out now.
Enjoy this little gem, and thanks to very kind people who helped me with posting this!
Trying to settle on a character while im getting comfortable again in The Endless Forest. Decided not to go with my old character Araima, but instead have a stag that looks basically the same (with a few differences -coughfacescarcough-) and name him Aray.
I am very original
Basically he's this big, scarred stag that looks tougher than he really is. (My style just makes him look cute hahaha) Seriously though, he's terrified of nearly anything and would probably run away from a butterfly. I should probably write a bio or something for him.
Keep doing it no matter what, even if you work in another area. Trust me ^^ This is my Level up from when I started playing The Endless forest 6 years ago, and now. :b
Cuz yeah my catharsis over time has changed, now I beat up my poor lad~
Just passing by to tell you all that I think of everyone here almost daily <3 I miss this community so much but arghhh I can't find much time to open the forest anymore. I miss it.
Also Sithrim's fiiiiiine, just a little black-eyed :b if you even remember him
so here it is, Aureus's official design. I don't really like this shading, and I don't know how I did it, but I don't remember how to gone from sketch to painterly lineless. I think a five hour drawing session is a good ease back into art after a dry spell, anyway. Thank you to everyone who watched my join.me while I worked on this. Having people there keeps me way more focused. Without you, I would have probably dropped this before the sketch was finished.
Aureus has a long red mane of thick, silky hair on his nape down to his tail, and can raise a portion of it along with his hackles when angered, frightened, stressed, etc. His vampiric bloodline comes from eastern Europe, so his fangs were referenced from a venomous snake endemic to the Balkans. His antler design comes from his father (a character I brought here very briefly), and since his species in his homeworld is sexually dimorphic in their colouring, he inherited few phenotypic traits (in regards to colour and pattern) from his mother. Since he's a vampire, I drew back the edges of his mouth unlike a regular red deer in order for him to be able to open his mouth wide enough to clamp his jaws around prey at least as big as he is. His jaw opens further, but I didn't want to draw it.
thanks again for being a part
