Description Yes... I am an idiot.
This is an entry for a contest being held by *MorRokko . The idiot bit comes in because, though the deadline is April tenth, I spontaneously decided that the seventh was actually the tenth, and spent a whole day freaking out because I thought I was missing the deadline. Any visibly shoddy work, I push off on the panic of date mix ups, but I'd still love critique.
Lame background I know, (if you can cal it a background) I was burnt out by that point.

Thanks. I keep thinking I should dig this piece back out and redo that blob of blue, but such things require time. Ah, to have time.

Just one of the little extra prizzes. It was kinda cool though. I've never actually won anything before. (except once in elemanytary school, but I don't think that counts.)

Yes, but I did that because you're my friend, not because I wanted prizes. ANd your contests are always so much fun.

That one's my favorite. The only problem is that it's supposed to be a leopard. I've never been able to get the body build right for a leopard... but that's alright. It came out well as a cheetah.

HippieLlama In reply to mooing-duckerberry [2009-04-22 11:32:53 +0000 UTC]

Oops! Sorry. It's pretty cool as a cheetah, though. It is a little hard to tell the difference in the first place- they're somewhat similar looking.

mooing-duckerberry In reply to HippieLlama [2009-04-22 21:53:26 +0000 UTC]

That's OK. I like it much better as a cheetah than as a leopard anyway.

Thanks! Since it's spring break, I've had tons of time for art, and i'm almost done with a centaur piece that I can't wait for you to see. I don't know why I'm so eager to show you. It's probably because you're so good with horse art. Like the little kid showing their professional chef parent the toast they made all by themselves.

I really don't think that's a big enough error to call yourself an idiot for! I've done far worse, making complicated arrangements to head home early from a week-long camping trip with school, because my theatre group was apparently showing a play that day.
I'd read the date wrong, of course.

Positive things:
I love the eyes, I think it was a good choice to make them the way you did.
I think they give the picture more dimension this way than they probably would have if you went the traditional way. I also like little details on the buffalo's ear, and the tail and wings of the wolf. I'm impressed by the fur and the paws in this pic. It's a unique style you have.

Negative:
The leopard, while looking ferocious and awesome, kind of dissapears into the buffalo's horn. The hyena, too, dissapears a bit into the shading on the buffalo. Also, the little white rim around the eyes looks not so good. But, but, I guess that's the deadline, eh...

Even so, rushed or not, the more I look at this, the more I like it, because I feel like I can see your thought process in some places; why you did "this" and not "that"... Yeah, I love it.

Wow! You give excellent critique! And I can't believe you noticed some of thos things. Did you download it? Because I don't know how else you could see the white rims I was too lazy to take out...

But yeah, thank you! I love critique!

Thank you!

I'd love to say I have eyesight that goes beyond even the screen's resolution (that would be awesome), but yes, I did press download to get a closer view. I always do that.
I didn't actually download it, though.

Tank you. It's the first time I'm tried this anatomical shading style thing. (what am I supposed to call it... I wonder... that's awkward) I kinda like it. It's lots of fun anyway.
