Angel wants your opinions.
 
So Angel is going to be opening a breedables shop shortly, but following a discussion on how my style of art is far too much like someone elses I have elected to alter it slightly and make up some sort of creature instead. It just saves confusion.

Anyway the idea is for elemental creatures called Canvolps which are a mix between wolf and fox. At the moment I am working on the pup bases, so if anyone could give me advice on what you like and what you don't like I would be most grateful. Please remember though that this is only a rough sketch of a base. I will finalise the base in ink when I have completed the design and add markings at that point too.

It's really good well done. i don't really think much needs changing but erm... i'd say make the rear feet slightly smaller and lift the bottom a tiny bit.

Amo_Angelus 09-20-2007 09:50 PM

What about the neck head area?

Jayms 09-20-2007 09:54 PM

nothing much needs changing. perhaps slightly larger nose?

Amo_Angelus 09-20-2007 10:01 PM

Ok, I've lengthened the nose, shaped the neck a little more, raised the bum and made the legs a tiny bit smaller... I wish I had a scanner at work. Changes are so easy to make, but it takes so long to get them online! :evil:

Kasana 09-20-2007 10:09 PM

I think the body is a bit too big for the head, no offence, just in comparison; they're out of scale a bit.

Amo_Angelus 09-20-2007 10:11 PM

I thought that too, so no offense taken, hopefully this edit should compensate for that though and make it seem more proportional.

Kasana 09-20-2007 10:16 PM

Lol, I can only draw in pencil and colour it in; I can't ink, I'm hopeless at it. Can't draw people either, just things I see in comic books or games. Your style is very unique, not many hybrid creations I've seen actually look as good as yours. The eye should be a slight bit raised as it looks like it's had plastic surgery, no offence though, other then that, its awesome.

Amo_Angelus 09-20-2007 10:23 PM

I love inking things I'm working on adding more detail to inked drawings though as at the moment my inking is basically just line-art with varying line widths and things blocked in which I do in pencil anyway first :P

I don't think I'm very good with people, but take a look at my art freeby thread and make up your own mind if you want :P

Thank you :) I like cute little critters, and I try my best to be origional, although I have to admit I did go and look at like 60 breedables stores to get the idea for this creation.

Oh no offense taken -holds the picture away- yep your right. -re-draws it. I won't get offended by helpful pointers. I get offended by "You're artwork sucks, you're a horrible drawer" Then I sit and cry in a corner and give up :( I've only been drawing a year so I like getting tips.Thank you very much -huggles-

Kasana 09-20-2007 10:34 PM

I've been drawing for a year too, just made a thread for my artwork; I've always been hopeless with resizing so they're pretty big xD The chibi raven one is fairly good though, my first attempt at colouring with textas. Can't wait til I move, hopefully my next school will have a better art class xD; in my current one, all we do is paint; nothing else so its very boring.

-huggles back-

Amo_Angelus 09-20-2007 10:40 PM

Wow they are pretty huge! Message me tomorrow with a link to them? I'll resize them for you, shouldn't take more than a minute to resize and put online for you. That is if you'd like them re-sized?

I've never done any art in school. The year I liked art my teacher was more focused with me not being afraid of the paint rather than me actually creating something, then eveil hag of doom took over...I didn't like her...I'm teaching myself. So I rely on peoples help and I live on my own so I can only get help online.

Kasana 09-20-2007 11:29 PM

Yeah, I did art for a semester; the teacher that I was supposed to have, had to leave cause she was due soon. So I got this really evil hag, she didn't let me draw or anything; just paint :(

Amo_Angelus 09-20-2007 11:36 PM

Aww BABY! Angel loves babies! I don't know why my uber art teacher left. Evil hag took over though and made a fatal mistake. I can handle her being mean about my art but she decided to bad mouth my uber art teacher. I hated her from day one. She wasn't very good either. We did drawing and she said mine was crap do it again....three times and my friend Alex took hers up and the teacher said it was great, I got Alex to draw for me as well and the teacher said it was crap go back and do it again. Never any help just it's crap do it again, to everything I drew. I gave up art and didn't take it up until I finished college.

Mokibus 09-21-2007 02:17 AM

It's cute, but it looks very similar to the Lupe's on neopets. If you're going to make a breedables shop, I'd probably stay away from that. xD

If I drew wolf-things as much as I used to, I could probably give you decent feedback. Alas, it's been a while. x] Although, the legs seem a little short compared to the rest of the body.

Amo_Angelus 09-21-2007 02:21 AM

Lupes have completly different shaped heads...

Secret 09-21-2007 02:23 AM

  • I thought the chest was a little large. Might look completely different if you color it though. If it's a mix with a fox, I'd add just a little more hair on the tips of the ears.

    Great job though.

Mokibus 09-21-2007 02:27 AM

Not completely, but it is different. It was mostly the pose and paws that made me think of Lupes.

Amo_Angelus 09-21-2007 02:32 AM

Yeah, the colouring is going to have flames...wind, waves etc comming from the tips instead of hair as they're going to be elementals.

Neopets doesn't own a pose...

Amo_Angelus 09-22-2007 01:01 AM

Ok, my second draft needs critique now. Please?

Caeluma 09-22-2007 01:43 AM

cute it could use some details

Amo_Angelus 09-22-2007 01:45 AM

As I did say, it is only a rough sketch on the outline...

Caeluma 09-22-2007 01:46 AM

good good then ^_^;

iFury 10-07-2007 04:58 AM

I think it looks pretty good! :D

Kavari 10-08-2007 07:47 AM

I'd like to see your colored version of this. :]

Amo_Angelus 10-08-2007 08:05 PM

I won't be posting them in the art post section. Just in my breedables shop.
