Here is my next commission. This took me only 5 hours. Can you believe it?! (maybe >.>' .....)

This image features my brand new tradmark I am developing called the "Star Scream" background. Basically, this background includes stuff popping out of boxes. What makes this my own signature is that the boxes are not only in different perspectives but also a main box with the character popping out is accompanied by a number of smaller ones, which also have stuff coming out of them adding to a common theme.

It is difficult to say if this photograph is more impressive then the original. The bright golds are actually metalic gold and silver. Some of the highlights on Arcanine are also gold and silver. And yah, I too see that he is a bit... thin in the torso. I did not notice till after I colored that. Sorry!

Other then that, I do not have much to say about it. It was indeed fun to make. I like the dramatic look of it. It helps me personally because it just requires more thought rather then work, just my style. ^^

I will live Critique encouraged again but yet again I am a tad nervous on doing so.

that's a kool picture, and the lighting and shading is awesome (like you didn't know that already ) I'm not sure if i understand the concept of the smaller boxes with stuff coming out, though... *ponders*

Yes I do but I do not really play it much anymore. I lost interested from the giant obsession I had with it. Talking so much with other people depressed me about playing so I lost interest.

Sorry to hear that. Ah, well, you probably would have "paw"ned me in it anyway

He looks a little thin, but not too bad. Very cool. Reminds me of those pictures by...oh, what's his name. With all the stairs in crazy directions? The shading is great.

Do you mean M. C. Esher or something like that. I study his works but I did not get the idea of that from him.

TwistedAlyx In reply to Eclipsis [2007-08-16 00:20:26 +0000 UTC]

Sounds right. I didn't think you did, it just reminded me of him.

Already my next commission features the Star Scream only in a different sense then what I intended for it.

Whoa, that much effort and 15 bucks...? Seems worth it for whoever wants to do it. XD

Iunno what to say, really. Other than the fact that I do like the idea.

This looks very neat. This whole box thing is a very neat thing that I haven't seen much of myself anywhere. The lighting in this as well as the shading is very wonderfully done. The perspective on the Arcanine is very good, and I like how his paws were done (Yeah. I have an odd obsession over paws.)

I have a grander obsession with paws then you do! Mwhahaha.. *cough* *choke* *HACK!*

Thank you. I really want to make these boxes my trademarks like the Star Stream background.

Peachfuzz [2007-08-14 20:23:09 +0000 UTC]

The lighting on this is so striking! You've left so much paper uncolored yet this is magnificent. All of the elements are well-placed and eye-catching.

Gotta love those paws. They're so detailed and realistic and they are lit up so nicely.

Will it not look great when I finally sit down and do a macro picture? Of course, if someone forced it down my mouth, that would change but I am out of luck since I do not do anthro. Ooops!

That is just what your comment reminds me of, nothing more.

Thank you very much! Yours look awesome too. Still hoping you do more with that animation game.

StampyDragon In reply to Eclipsis [2007-08-14 07:30:33 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, doesn't need to be anthro to be macro! But anyways, I'm sure you'd handle something macro fine. Even if the background and whatnot was kept simple. You're too good an artist to not be able to handle it ^_^.

Oh and the animation thingy o.o. Well I'm certainly not saying I'm not gonna add more to it . We'll have to see though.

Once again, nice work.

Thank you for your thoughts.

Sily me, I should have known better since you did do that Vapour (sp?) taur picture. Hmm... Gosh she was rediculously huge in that picture.

Good! Saves me the trouble of noting you. Just give me your address and it will be on your way.

But, if you are interested in more, maybe just tiny line arts or such, feel free to add on since it would save me shipping. Just a thought (or crude upselling).
