Those three states being Shoed, socked, and bare.
First one was a spare of the moment thing that happened tonight inbetween cleaning up some line work on another peace.
Second one come up a few days ago because socks are good actually.
Third one was a tease for a specific lizard, strapped down to the pedal of some machine waiting to get pressed down.
What fowl behavior. This was for a friend who's been rocking a new lad and I might have a thing for birds and more specifically birds with webbing. Plus I needed something to take my mind of things.
I've got another picture that should be out very soon I just need to do the lighting and shadows on it. Which has been taking a age and also made me realize I might try and do more things in flat colours/simplified lighting like this.
Now I'm trying very hard to not apologize ga...
OK, going to try and get this damn shark done. As well as anything else I can get finished up over the next few days. I was really hoping to get things into high gear this month but that's just going to have to get pushed back. I apologize for that.
Anyway here's a collection of things that have sprung up in-between all the running around I've been having to do.
OK so slowly making progress and starting some new stuff up. Been a bit dry on ideas and time, mostly on time though. I want to try and few a few polls up over the weekend I just need to think on that. I also want to get some of these finished up with some grey scale.

Ok so probably unexpected and not super exciting for you lot but for me it is. I've been dying to get this sorted out for a while now. But other things would come up, new ideas or thoughts I wanted to run by people. So just been putting it off and putting it off but I'm glad to see it done. I feel really good with his look, feel and name now.
I also changed his back pattern because something about it wasn't feeling right to me. A few people had drawn him with a plane back and I just li...
Been a bit brain dead so trying to warm things up by drawing a paw or two and ended up with a few scattered around the place. Thought I'd collect them up for a page.
I should probably do more like this focusing on body parts and such. It's just feet are the fun parts to draw. :v

I thought I had uploaded these a few days ago but I had just saved half of them out instead. I do not know where my head is at lately. But anyway been doodling thoughts up in between being brain dead.
Going to try and collect some thoughts together and double up on the polls this month as well, just need to work out some pairings.
Also been ticking away on a ref sheet for the new 'sona

Finally got the time to squeeze out what's left over from last month, mostly just some stuff of the dog boy being, dog like. But also some earlier wips of the Gryphon ideas that I thought I had uploaded, but I was misremembering. My brain barely works sometimes.

OK so instead of working on what I should I saw there was only a day left in the month (seriously I swear there was still 4 days left.) I decided to go back to a few sketches I made when talking to a Gryphon about, Gryphons. In this case it's a unholy fusion of my Dog boy KC and the Kookaburra bullying Pixel.
Is it traditional? no, is it fun? yes.
Anyway going to go through my files and see if I've missed anything and then collect my thoughts together and try to kick next mo...
Aaw, such a curious boy!
This was originally only going to be two parts but then I thought "hey a third part would be funny... also if I added some more ..." so on and so forth. Kind of ran into a bit of a art block on it as well (probably because I kept moving the goal posts to put more work into it.) So I hit a point and said "OK this needs to be wrapped up." Part of that was keeping the background in monochrome, which I personally think it does work better than my attempts with colo...
OK line art is finally done (after a accident this afternoon where I lost all the work I had done this and so had to finish it off again.) Now to get this all coloured up and move onto shark stuff! I only just found out It's Shark week this week so that's some "timing"

A sporadic late night quickie for a friend in need. In need of a good bullying under dog paws trying to wear shoes that is.
You can blame him for the title too.

But only a little less.
Making progress on that Drakk piece so just one more panel and some background work and then it's clean up and colours then onto the next picture.
Was doing some back and forth with someone on making a OC of theirs into a goblin and it got me thinking about the hell stuff I've got. How I've wanted a look for some flying little devils and I think I'm on the right track with the design here. Need to come up with a catchy name for them though.
And more d...

So carrying on with what I was saying on the other post, I really like the humanoid paw look, but also the regular paw look on KC. So i figure, ok the key important point here can be that as long as he's got four toes both is "canon"
Silly thing to get so focused on I know but because I want to use him as a alternative character for myself, I want to get the details as right as I can. Special thanks to Phox for helping demonstrate one of the paw alts.
This being a giant monster thing ain't hard at all actually.
Ok so I've been thinking (dangerous I know) and even experimenting (even more dangerous.) There's these two paw types I like and I think work well on KC here. The more classic paw and the more human like paw. So instead of choosing I'm thinking of making it he can have both and it can just inter change based on mood. A better example of these differences is up as some sektches.
I know it's a minor detail but fretting ov...
Things got a bit too busy and I was hoping to get the line work for the Drakk picture sorted a few days ago. So just uploading what I've got anyway going to try and get that and the Shark picture done first and fore most, then poll and anything else.
Been um, having a lot of dog on the mind too, so quite a few things of him have sprung up in the mean time. Been trying to sort some things out about him and the Capybara in terms of who I want them to be and I think I'm near a break thro...
Haven't seen the ram around for a bit it's about time he threw the other two boys under foot. OK so that and I wanted to try some shadow and lighting stuff out. I'm wanting to work on how I do these things because currently I spend waaay too much time trying to get highlights and shadows right.
Sorry the last month was a bit rough, a few unexpected things came up that got in the way. Going to get the poll results drawn up as soon as I can though. The monthly ZIP should be up in the nex...
Ok so I wanted to get one of the poll winners done but ended up expanding the scope of it instead. So the Drakk pictures and the winner of the shark poll will be getting done early this month.
Had these warm up sketches with the boys came out really well, I'd been tinkering on them in between other things that have been going on. So going to colour them up and aim to upload them tomorrow.

OK so I know I said I'd try to not draw these two as often, but that has already failed. There's a bunch of things I'm still working out with these two and slapping together things very fast and loose helps me out work through that. It might be like that on and off for a bit sorry. Got other art on the way though!
Also trying something new with the file names because trying to come up with individual names for a boat load of files is not my strong suit and I'm not kidding, takes me hou...
So I had already started this as a hand play thing for some friends when the news broke out that apparently Sprigatito's "release a sweet aroma" through their paws. This information will be tested in the future.
But for now here's Spencer being chill in a park and hanging with a friend, helping them relax. I'm also wanting to test out some things with cel shading and backgrounds and I think this is a decent looking compromise. It's quick ad simple and with the right colours fits toget...
POV vs teasing a collection of smaller folk.

Heavy foot falls or grabby mitts? Either way people are going to end up between yellow digits.

I couldn't think of a good title sorry.
But yeah updates, very close to getting that Sprigatito piece done. Got impromptu inspired by someones musings and that lead to a naked giant goat man, going to tinker on him with time. Also been drawing up some thoughts on KC, mostly focusing on how to handle him going from glasses to mop top and what his paws should look like by default (size wise)
Ok off to bed then back into the art mines.
2022-06-15 18:59:42 +0000 UTC View PostBit of a odd face off I know but I've not drawn either for a while so thought it would be interesting.
Also trying something new which is to set the theme polls up near the start of the month instead of near the end. So there's actually time to get a couple of things done, shocking revelation I know, but do bear with me I am learning to do all of this on the fly sorry.
I know I keep drawing these two, I'm still trying to work out what I want out of them, who is what and what's who on the fursona front. The only way I know to deal with it is to either talk about it or to keep drawing them until I feel I know how they'll work. So there's a few times I'm trying them both out on the same idea to see how it looks and feels to have them there.
They'll keep coming up but I'll try to focus in on other ideas and characters for the most part. Also experimentin...
As always, variants are down below in the attachments.
Ok so I've had a few thoughts on this boy, on parts of his design and I wanted to run those through, which is why he's been showing up in the polls a lot. He's one I've been holding off on drawing too much because I've been wanting to get his design down to where he feel "right"
Which is super vague I know, but I've gone through all those ideas now, collected the data and now feels like a good time to freshen up some of his ...
I should have uploaded a few of these earlier but things kind of got in the way over the last, entire month, so sorry about that! So it's yet another massive dump of images :'v
