Wow o.o that was unexpected ^^; I inspired something o.O *is interested to see where you go with this one* o.o colorwise, what word do I give?

The poem had a, dunno, comfortable feeling to it, it was fre eof force or strain that you often get when people try to produce poetry and aren't in the right mood for it. I don't know at what time of the day you wrote it, so I'd either go with warm/sunny colors or candle light (because I love drawing candles, mostly XD). So I'd take the black fur and not only make the parts where light fall son it orange-ish, or something. Maybe add pillows with ink stains. *laughs* (luckily for you and unfortunately for me as the artist, black ink won't show on black fur) Oh, and what colors would you like for shirt and pants? Btw I was SO not sure about the shirt...
When it comes to T-shirts there are two kinds of guys: large-shirt guys and well fitted-shirt guys. I was thinking of not drawing a shirt at all because there wasn't one on the reference pic, but no one can run around whirtless all the time, right? Then again, when you have fur... /rant

Lawl, I would say either no to the shirt or a looser shirt. I am definately not the muscly kind of fur, actually I find lots of muscle to be a turn off o.o but anyway.. It was at about 4 in the morning, and I don't know if you're a psychic or something but I do light candles when I write at night. More comforting than bright lights. Not only sets a romance mood but a thinking mood as well.. Something about flickers that calms me. Y'know what forget the shirt, I hardly ever wear one (my character, that is, or when I'm in my room writing.) Maybe if I were sitting on a pillow, there could be an ink stain or something on it, maybe a contrasting color.. White ^.^ A white pillow? Maybe. I like the way the pants go up so high, makes me look more.. I don't have a word for it but I likes *smile* The color for the pants, while on the topic, maybe a more casual color than the black and green ones. (No, I don't consider Tripp pants to be casual, seeing as how much they cost.) I also like how only one tooth is showing, looks like I'm thinking about something :) Which I often do. Oh ^.^ If I may make a suggestion, my collar now has a lock on it, on the lock it says "L4L" which stands for Live For Life. Which is a good phrase to live by if you're into that type of mindset. Oh gee, looks like I rant too xP I'm bad at ranting though, more like rambling.. Just random references to other things, not necessarilly, almost never, in order. Heh

~end rant~

Poetry and candle light belong together, especially with the parchment-and-quill motive up there. :) I love candles as well, but it sucks for drawing because I need a steady light.
Shirt: okay, no shirt in the future. *laughs*
Pants: casual color... um, as in what?
Collar: regular collar with a padlock kinda thing? Ref pic would be lovely.
White pillows with black ink: love the idea, the cleaning bill though? Not so much. In the long run you will have to decide to either get a job at the dry cleaner's OR go for a dalmatian look. :P

I agree with the poetry/candles/parchment-and-quill motive thing. Yeah, don't your eyes hurt from all the harsh lighting? D:
Shirt: Okay ^.^
Pants: Sometimes when I ramble I start a thought and never finish it o.o lol opps; Casual like blue or brown?
Collar: Yes it is a small-type padlock :)
White pillows with black ink: Well, I'm not the most neat-freak of the clan, so I can deal with a little ink splotch here or there. Heh, a pet pillow dalmation.. That would be interesting to walk around town xD

Eyes: nothing hurts as long as I stick to tradition mediums; when I stare at the screen fully concentrated (as in working on a picture and not just surfing) they start to burn after a while (I think I forget to blink or something XD).
Pants: brown-ish or maybe like a dark khaki? Or blue like faded jeans.
Lock: I like padlocks; no reason, I just do. I own a big one that I have no use for at all, I just like how it looks and the sound it makes when being opened or snapped shut. ^^;; Anyway, small padlock it is. Hope I can fit the F4F on it...
Pet pillow: not much better than a tooth brush, but if they try to drag you into the loony bin you can still pretend to have bad eye sight and misstook it for a dog.

Hehe, If computer screens could be lit by candle, I would die x.x That is the only thing I can stand being bright. That and the sun.
Pants: I've been thinking, I think blue would be better, unless it's possible to recreate black faded jeans in drawing..
Lock: Not sure if it was a mistype but just thought I'd correct you as friendly as possible; F4F = L4L *cough*
Pet pillow: I do have bad eyesight o.o O.O ~.~ I think I might have glaucoma o.~

Disliking computer screen light would suck for me, seeing how I spend so much time in front of it.
Faded black jeans: oh I'm sure an artist with more skill than I could do that, but I'd rather not try. Your black fur is enough hard work for me. XD
F, L, it's such a common typo... I mean, the keys are like right next to each other!
Glaucoma: I sure hope you're joking, but keep that excuse ready when you take your pet pillow out for a walk. (Seriously though, out of all my senses I'd miss sight most.)

Lol, I wouldn't want to cause more trouble than you already are taking to draw me ^.^ So I guess blue jeans?
I don't know what kind of keyboard you are using but on mine there's G H J and K inbetween the F and L xD
I'd miss sight too, but being a guy I'd probably miss the sexual senses the most, typical male thinking.. *sigh*

Between the five senses I'd say "sexual" is a lot "feel", but also "taste" and "smell" and a good part "see" and "hear". XD Taking away one or more of them intentionally is one thing, permanently is something else. Still, very much possible.
However I'd miss reading and drawing, things you simply can't do without sight (and I highly doubt they do fanfiction in braille).

Blue jeans it is!

...a German keyboard actually does differ from others, but except for Z and Y the main letters are the same. ^^;;

Ooooo a german keyboard! I've never seen one o.o that must be interesting ^.^
Yay blue jeans!
Ah yes.. "Feel" and if they did fanfiction in braille, i wouldn't mind being blind o.o

It's not that interesting... exclamation marks and such are in different places and we got ä, ö, ü and ß, that most other languages lack, but it's nothing spectacular.

Fanfiction, or any online kind of fiction. And books by small publishers that never make the bestseller lists but are still awesome.
But think of the internet in general: you can't really use it when you're blind.
Not being able to talk would suck and no hearing isn't any better, but I simply couldn't live w/o sight, simple as that.

Um, yeah, all of which doesn't really have anything to do with these particular pieces of art and poetry... ^^;;

Hehe, way to veer off topic D: what were we talking about before? *scritches head*

Hey, can I use this (when it's all colored and stuffs) as my DA picture? ^.^ I likes it

Sure, but I might mess it up... ^^;;

Aww how's that? D: You're one of my favowite artists here on FA ^.^

Thank you. ^^x
But I'm not quite happy with my coloring yet...
As for this one, I'll probably have to make a new scan in a higher resolution before I can get to the colors. That is, if you want it digital?

Define: Digital
Resolution: Whatever you think is best I guess, you're the artist :)

You got traditional mediums (like colored pencils) or digital mediums (programs like photoshop or gimp). I'm currently in a trying-out-gimp phase. XD

*nods* What did you use to color the other two? I'm guessing colored pencils?

Yep; but I'm not exactly good at that and black is so hard to color. XD

Heh ^.^;; I'd say you're quite good at drawing me though :)

Heh, I need to fulfill my canide quota somehow.
(And as I said before, you're fun to draw.)

Oh, by the way, you wouldn't happen to have a picture of that new collar of yours?

(hehe) Not at the moment, no, but I could more than likely get one for ya :)

That'd be great, just so I get it right next time. XD

^.^ When might you need this by?

Whenever you get around to do it, no deadline involved. University keeps me busy anyway. ^^x

Heh, I'm working on it ^.^ Id rather not release a real picture of me so I'm rebuilding it in Second Life :3 Might take a while though <.<

Wouldn't need a whole picture, just the neck with the collar (see, like here? That's me years ago XD). Or just the collar. XD But second life works.

*shrugs* I could do that too, but I think Second Life me should have it too ^.^

Absolutely! XD

^.^ Indeedles
