Hi guys I want friendship! How about an art trade?

Please observe that my art fluctuates heavily and is bound to be messy so please don't expect any masterpieces! Also it might take me forever to finish it.. xD

I'll trade with anyone so don't be shy please Smiling It's first come first serve. Just one spot for now.
CLOSED for the time being. No calling ahead, please! (I'm sorry about this but it stresses me out to have stuff ahead of me and really puts a block on my creative juices.)

Pending trades:
Rice
Toya

----

First trade: Rice for Rice



OR


Rice in water!
Messymessymessymes-
This was a lot of fun to do!! Smiling Rice's design is so great, I loved getting more closely aqcuainted with it. I made her coat too red, but my opinion kept telling me, brighter, brighter, make it brighter, NO it still needs to be BRIGHTER! So here we are.
I'M SORRY IT'S SO MESS- *shot*

EEEEEE I LOVE IT. It

EEEEEE I LOVE IT. It definitely is not a mess it's BRILLIANT. <3333 I love her tail and the way you drew her mask, it's lovely!

I have yours sketched out, I just need to colour it. Will hopefully get around to that tomorrow when I have a few hours off work. <3 Thank you so much!

!!! This is so exciting!

!!! This is so exciting! Shocked
Uhmmm! I would love it if you drew my still-unnamed stag (Tavros). I still am very unsure about his design (I'm not good at such things) but the idea is something (very vaguely) like this. MAYBE. I can't decide how I want him to look. D: I would like you to draw him in any way you like, actually! You can interpret him freely. You have met him before so you should have some idea of what he is like.
Or if you need a real reference then let me know and I will try to come up with one.

Don't feel preassured about time, if you have a lot to do I don't mind waiting. At all! I'm extremely patient about these things.
I would be thrilled to have it sent to me! But I live in Sweden... I'm not sure how far away you are or what it would cost, but I don't want you to pay an expensive postage. Possibly I could pay it for you via paypal!

What would you like me to draw?? :B

Why are there so many ninjas here!!! Okay I guess I just type slow. xD

JD: !!! I am making an exception again!! YOU NEXT DEFINATELY.

Thank you so much all of you. ♥

Rice: Shocked Shocked Shocked YES! I'm so happy you like it! I was very self concious after seeing your art skills xD
I'm so excited I will see Bloo drawn by your hand soon!


Note to self: Art trading is the best thing.
Toya's picture

I would love to draw your

I would love to draw your unnamed stag! I know the one. Would you like him to wear the forest spirit mask or have his face showing?

Shipping out of country isn't so bad. I will do a small picture. If I feel like its too expensive then we can chat about paypal. But for now lets not worry about silly dollars. Those bits of paper and numbers on our bank screen have NO REAL VALUE anyhow.

I don't know what I want drawn yet.... Toya has no set appearance. SO. Let me think more on it. I have been playing around with the idea of giving Hototo a set appearance, but he is still a fawn! I will let you know soon.

be well be well.

Oooooh! I think with his face

Oooooh! I think with his face showing would be interesting. Shocked But whichever you think will look better. :B

Yes, I was thinking about that.. how to draw a deer with no set. xD Let me know when you decide!

K I am back from trip to woods!

Like I said, all same caveats. I am so slow.

I tried to draw your stag -six- times. I am not content with any of the sketch starts. I want to get his spirit right, so I am still biding my time with completing him in any timely fashion. ;p

Also I had no computer to look at the ref pic. So things may go smoother now. Does he have a human or deer face? Or a bit of a hybrid face?

I do know this: I would like you to draw Hototo as a young stag. But I have yet to decide what that looks like. I know I want him to be very similar to a fallow deer, but with a few distinguishing traits of his own. I will likely sketch him up loosely for myself and you as well, then you can run with it!

I am very excited!

And procrastinating!

Hi there! Haha don't worry

Hi there! Smiling

Haha don't worry about it! Like I said, I'm in no hurry. I can't believe you drew him so many times... I'm truly humbled by your dedication. Thank you so much ♥ I'm so excited to see how you would capture his spirit!

Ahh about his face, that's a problem because I really don't know. *sob* I swear I've drawn him with every face imaginable, human, deer, you name it. The way I drew him in the ref pic he has a deerish face, although it has some classically dragonlike features, like nostril placement, and his snout is more dainty and smoothly curved than a deer's. (Although he isn't a dragon, I like how it makes him look more spirit-like.) I haven't truly decided if I want to keep that look for him, though... *being difficult*

Honestly you can draw him in any way you see fit, in whatever way you think captures his spirit, as you put it. Actually, I have thought recently that maybe I won't make a ref for him, and just let his looks be free for interpretation. Sorry for being difficult.. Sad

I LOVE FALLOW DEER! They're the prettiest. ♥ Just send his ref this way when you've got it. I'm actually really psyched to draw him.. he's such a cool character! <3
Toya's picture

Weeeellll... If you don't

Weeeellll... If you don't really want a ref for him, does that mean you want something else? Or does that mean I get to just go wild and interpret him however I please? Either is fine, and no worries about the sketches, they were just loose lines, not even completed sketches at that.

I can tell if I haven't got it right pretty early on, most of them I was unhappy with the curve of his back, or the angle I started from, etc.

It means go wild! I would

It means go wild! I would love that. Smiling
Toya's picture

Lalalalalalala I drew Hototo

Lalalalalalala I drew Hototo as a grown buck! Would you draw him as a yearling? Then I will have art of him at all ages. Smiling You can interpret how his antlers might look as he grows. His details are all there for you, save what may be hard to see: Three white stripes on forehead with dark between them run all the way down the back now. His spotted pelt can be any shade of brown from tawny to toasted. I usually just let the color of whatever paper I draw on show through, I consider it his seasonal change if the shade is different from one drawring to the next!

Also... I don't care if you mix it up a bit! Draw what makes you happy. I will do the same. <3 <3 <3

*so happy*

Wow you sure seem to be in a lovely mood!! ^^ <3
Ahhh that looks awesome! I love those beautiful antlers. ´u` I'm not sure what exactly are the distinguishing traits of a yearling, but just to make him a bit younger, transition phase between fawn and this? Mm, I'll definately have fun with it!! ^^ Can't wait to get started!
Toya's picture

Yup. Yearlings are halfway.

Yup. Yearlings are halfway. Smaller antlers. Perhaps still having a little bit of the "baby-face" look. However you want to interpret it. I am working on your stag today. I do feel happy. Art makes me happy. Drawing beautiful creatura makes me happy. Friends make me happy.

Hes finished! But I am

Hes finished! But I am waiting to use my roomies scanner.

Also: I got carried away with a few details. I hope you like a "unique" look. ;p

And also I cant help but turn any deer I touch into a moonface.

Moooooooooonface.

It's so wonderful Emily... the colors and the details and these beautiful lines... Thank you so much! ♥ You even went so far as to make this beautiful background... ´u`
Will you give me your e-mail addy so I can send you my adress? I'm a little iffy about putting it on display online. Or I'll give you mine, !
I've still not started on Hototo properly, things have gotten in the way! I hope I can do him justice.
You have made my day with this picture~ ´u`

Heeeeeeeeeeee. *blushes* I

Heeeeeeeeeeee. *blushes*

I really enjoyed drawring that blue beard-mane. I am so excited that you like it:)

I really just lost myself in it for a while.

A moonface is the name I gave to my style of drawring creatura from dreams, where all the people and animals all look like they have painted faces. Like pretty pretty clowns. They often are absurd colors, and the animals often have human faces just like on TEF so I decided to draw deer like moonfaced people.

*hop hop*

Hototo is also a moonface. And so is -=This=- and -=This=-.

gurgelin's picture

I love how you say drawring..

I love how you say drawring.. it has made me laugh since the first time. xD
The beard is wonderful! I never drew him like this before, but I was blown away! Those beautiful flowy lines, and how it follows the patch underneath his eyes as well - it's magic! And heck there is so much that is awesome here! I really love the color shifting at the feet, and how you draw the swirly knees - it makes me think of cinnamon rolls and I want to eat them! Shocked And the tail, and the adorable mouth!
He looks like magic. :3

Sounds like you have some cool dreams! Shocked And those two paintings you linked... they're amazing! So stimulating for the eye and mind, I think they're really ART! And intriguing.. who are the deerbunny and sun-creature in the first one? The garment of the sun-creature makes me think a little of Klimt somehow, but different. It's beautiful! ♥
And I love the face of the bee queen and her crown, and wings and stripes and that outrageous pose - poor spine!!
What media are these?
