Description Let it be known that I have absolutely no idea what color eyes Gary really has, so I took a guess.

Anyways, it's Gary and Umbreon, if you couldn't tell. This was the first time I redid any of my outlines on the computer. Usually, I scan in a hand drawn outline and color it from there, but this time I decided to actually take the time to redo the outline in Photoshop.

As always, critiques and comments for improvement are encouraged. And yes, I realize that the shading on Umbreon is wrong, but I got too lazy to fix it. I also wanted to color this in a watercolory type style, rather than the usual cell shading, but failed miserably half way through and decided to just stick with simple cell shading.

Green eyes. I think Shigeru's hair should be a bit longer. Other than that, nice take on Blacky! It looks really tough, but it's still beautiful and lithe. Good job.

Sweet!Very cool. I remember when I was watching the show that i kept wondering when his Eevee would evolve and what it would be. Umbreon was a cool choice.

Hehe, I was wondering that for a long time too. When Nintendo first introduced Umbreon and Espeon as part of the second generation Pokemon though, I automatically knew it would be Umbreon.

*reads through all comments* Ha, yeah, Umbreon`s legs are kinda` long. Shiggi`s arms are too, because if he were to let them down, they`d all collide with his knees. I think he has green eyes too, dunno. Not like it matters, because even the official company draws the differently probably. It`s really cute though, I love the Burakki`s face and glowing rings!

Yeah, I think proportions is probably one of my biggest problems. The thing is, I don't make outlines to show proportion when I draw, I just kinda automatically get to the details. I think I'm gonna start doing proportion sketches now though. Thanks for the constructive comment. ^^

No problem. It took me a while to start drawing those stupid anatomical bubbles and stuff too, but if you`re inking and not just shading it, there`s no reason not to.

I really love your avatar btw. X3 Hehe!

You should definitely do a Solo picture of umbreon thats a little bigger, because it looks great in this image.

This is gorgeous! I actually really like how you drew Umbreon, it looks cool. I think the re-dun outlines look really good, too. I dun know what colour Gary's eyes are either.. might be green or something. o_O

Great cel-shading that I'm envious of as always! XD

Hmm.... Very nice. I like the Umberon , but I think he smaller then that. Otherwise nice pic, and Gary looks awesome also.

Saicuaph In reply to spyingredfox [2005-05-21 04:53:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I realize that. When I drew the original outline, I accidently made Umbreon too big, but I didn't want to shrink the image in Photoshop because I didn't want to reduce the quality. Hehe, silly me.

eerin [2005-05-20 13:57:27 +0000 UTC]

The only thing I dislike of this picture are Umbreon's "legs" that are too long judging from the lenght of the "arms"... same with Gary's left arm, it's longer than his right one. I like the cell-shading more than watercolor-style (at least for anime pictures...).

I like your personal style/touch for the characters.

Overall, I like this very much :3

Saicuaph In reply to eerin [2005-05-21 05:04:27 +0000 UTC]

See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. I know that there's something wrong with most (if not all) of my art, but I have difficulty telling what it is. That's why I want people to tell me exactly what's wrong with it, even if they have to be blunt. I guess most people don't point out what's wrong because they're afraid of hurting my feelings or something, but comments like these are exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks a lot for the comment and I'll be sure to try and keep the proportions right next time.

And yeah, now that I look at it, Umbreon's legs are way too long when compared to his arms. I guess this is 'cause I'm so used to drawing Saicuaph, who's mostly bipedal and therefore has legs that are longer and larger than his arms, so I must have inadvertently drawn Umbreon the same way. And I do think that cell shading goes better with anime pictures as well, but the thing is I can't do watercolor at all, so I want to practice this style on my art. Only problem is, I hate how it turns out and I always end up erasing it and just sticking with the cell shading.

Well you made Umbreon look more real, which was cool. Still something is wroung with Gary thought. Unless you were wanting that kind of look.

Saicuaph In reply to tikeo [2005-05-21 04:50:52 +0000 UTC]

If you mean he doesn't look like the Gary from the series, then yeah, I did that on purpose. I wanted to draw him in my own style. If you mean something else though, please do tell me what it is so I don't make the same mistake in the future.

Wow, this is awesome! If you really need improving, I dunno what could it be, sincerely. You're good at this Sai.

About Gary's color eyes, I think they are somewhat hazel-nut, but still looks well.
