Feature 219--Citrus-Chikadee

Chilling Together

This is a fun piece. Really enjoying the textures on the vending machine and on the dog's ear.
I like how well the grass detail has been done, too. But I have a question--is that in front of the room like a porch or is it just some sidewalk section?
Working with the pen this way is very well done; great job!


 

Potion Time

Aah, that cat! It's perfect for this scene! ...so is the cat the witch, boiling that potion, or is it the witch's helper in a much harder to capture form? And just because the cat is black, it doesn't mean either the witch or cat is necessarily evil, even in Halloween times. Don't interrupt them! Maybe they're preparing to capture one of the villains in that realm?
So fun to make stories up on this piece. Excellent work, Citrus-Chikadee!

Will-o-Wisp

When I was playing pokemon, I SO enjoyed Duskull! And getting to see two of them just playing near one another? ...knowing the one's history, it makes me wonder if they're attempting to catch a person or two because just look at that one's dark magic going as they dance their circle!
Entirely fun piece!

These three pieces were great to get to chat about! To see more of Citrus-Chikadee's artwork, her gallery is here. Have fun! 

Feature 211--kitpaint

 

Rocky Lounging

If this isn't a cat, I don't know what is and I entirely loved it. I wonder how long fuzz decided to lay like this for kitpaint?
But isn't this ink work just amazing? That cat looks so fuzzy and I enjoy how the detail on the cat was designed. Aah, I just want to rub that fur so much! Doesn't it seem like there'd be such a perfect feeling under the fingers?

Lottie

Oooh, a pretty little black cat, at least as Kitpaint wrote on her page. This one  looks so very furry, doesn't it? And how did the fuzzball allow for the sketch without demanding the payment in all pets? (I mean, it's very fast to take a photo, but it's quite fun to imagine the kitty sitting there like has to happen for painters.) I really enjoy this piece, excellent work!

Lion Cub in Pen

So I love the shadow under this lion cub. Temporarily, it made me think of grass under it but...wouldn't that just be right anyway? And, like the first cat drawing in this feature, there certainly seems to be a lovely amount of texture on this piece. I wonder how long it took to learn that skill?
Amazing work all around, I love it!

I wish I could control a fineliner like this! Check out kitpaint's gallery to see more of their artwork, well worth it!

Commission Wip 2~ Lineart & Color!

 

Wild Pansies commission wip

Got some lovely critique on how to get the clouds to look this pretty. And was so very excited to get all of the grass to look so good! Getting color on this is going to be amazing, I can't wait! 

And I also 'can't wait' and be patient to share where I am on painting yet. XD Tutor suggests that I add a few insects and stones--insects to show life in this area and stones/taller grasses to make the grass bits look like there's life in it. It could really fit!

Feature 190--kitpaint

Pumpkin-Fellow

Ink. This is made in ink for Inktober and oh doesn't it look so pretty! To me, it looks like he's taking a look outside to breathe in the dark and enjoy that moonlight.
But just look at how well kitpaint made those lines! It looks properly night time to me, and I'm really enjoying how the shadow is over the bushes and trees behind the character. Excellent piece!

Lottie

This is apparently a little black kitty that kitpaint drew. I wonder how hard it was to get the kitten's attention before a photo was taken? Granted that's assuming kitpaint needed a photo!
Either way, the angle this was drawn in seems quite nice to me. How hard was it to control the micron pens to make pieces as lovely as this? And can't you just see how furry the kitten in question is?
Love it!

Lion cub in pen

Here is some more of that shading that I'm so in love with. Doesn't kitpaint do a lovely job in making not only such a lovely shadow, but the whole animal come out in 3D? I could just see this little one on his or her way to bother a sibling or one of the parents. Because that is a definite rule with any kind of cat.
I mentioned it once in the Lottie piece too, but isn't it just something with how kitpaint can make such texture with the cub's fur the way they did? Gorgeous!

These were some amazing pieces! To see more, here is the link to kitpaint's deviantart gallery.

Feature 156--Dracuria

 

Skull And Roses

Isn't the detail drawn on this skull so perfect? And when you can tear your eyes away from there, just look at how well the roses and vines have been drawn! My eyes keep going back to the eyesockets of the skull. Doesn't the shadow help set off the green and red on the roses?
Speaking of the colors! Dracuria mentions that she uses decotime twinmarkers? Haven't heard of them but they definitely can put out some perfect colors. It's always a treat to see when the tools can do what they're advertised. Just proves even more that she knows what she's doing with them.

Zombie and Moths

Here is my favorite of all the shared pieces. I just have to wonder how long it took to get all of this detail on the tree and on the zombie! The colors help to make it stand out perfectly! I hope that the zombie can find some form of rest in this place when it's finally put down.
And I'm more than aware that it is just a bit of tree behind the zombie, but that green and brown section just behind it's ear makes me think of how the zombie's hairstyle in life could have been. Seems like it could have just fit!

Mermay 2021

Another piece that shows Dracuria's skill in laying down her colors. This one is perfect in showing exactly how deep the water is in our current area. And just look at the plants that the Mermaid is hiding in. They're gorgeous!
Doesn't the mermaid look great with all of that around it? Just the right colors to help make it the focus! My eyes keep going for it's fin on the top of its head and those pretty yellow eyes. Love the subject and how it'd still be hidden if we were just a bit away. Super work!

These three pieces were amazing to see and share! Be certain to go to Dracuria's deviantart for more of her work. Also, check out her Instagram, Redbubble, and Teepublic if any of those catch your eye!

Feature 75--Angelica-Reveries

Joker Pencil portrait

Angelica-Reveries' artist comment begins with a very true quote!

“The worst part of having a mental illness is people expect you to behave as if you don’t.”
-Arthur Fleck, The Joker (2019)

And doesn't she draw him exactly like one with that opinion of people may well look? I personally love how deep she shaded his eyes to be and then shaped his nose from it. Excellent job with that! I also like how she made his hair flick out as if he doesn't care to keep it brushed; it fits perfectly with his character.

I'm also impressed with how she shades just enough to make certain pieces of this come forward, too. Like with the undershirt and collar then his coat.

Diana Karenne as Pierrot

She's showing her brilliant shading again! Especially on those ruffles and what do you think about the hint of light on the lips? I'm very interested in how she keeps making the noses come out like she does. It's so fun to see such good ways to build one up. And those eyes again! It's so easy to see them in the darkness around them. Lovely!

Impulses

And now we get to see some color! It was added perfectly, in my opinion. The barely grown in beard is a great touch, drawn in great! He comes forward great from that background. I haven't said enough about Angelica-Reveries detail in all of these. I personally like the feathers on the right side of this character's face, they lead your eye down into the white and black 'uniform' he's wearing so well.

I also love how well these shoulders and the character's neck has come out with gray and white!

You guys have absolutely got to go to Angelica-Reveries' gallery to see even more of her work. It's not going to be a waste of time so go check everything out! ^^
