I wanted to do a "me" piece, because I needed to break back out again of the "bugeye" phases (see currently most recent work in my gallery). Sadly, my tablet literally sucks worse than death (old graphire 3, teeny tiny, not sensitive at all). So for now, I'm drawing in illustrator with a mouse, which feels like carving out shapes with a seashell. I've gotten pretty good at it though.
Hope you all like it, I want to take it further and add color and lighting.

O.o You're doing all your work with a mouse? D8 Holy cow man. x.x I remember when I used to draw with a mouse; its not pretty [or easy xP]. :< But dang, you do it well. ^^
And is it, like the title states, just a shadowed Silhouette pic or is Nate gonna be changing into an all black sona? XD Either way, this looks completely awesome, and Fennecs are teh shizz. x3 Nice work.

Well, like I said, I'm using adobe illustrator, which is like a GOD with the pen tool, provided you can control it well. And by like a GOD I mean it can bless you with great wonders, or smite you with a thousand years of famine and pain. It can also send you to a hell unlike any other. But if you can master it... OwO
And I've honestly never found illustrator easy to use with a tablet. :B Tried it, never liked it (although maybe that would change if I finally get my hands on an Intuos 4 or (fingers crossed) cintiq at some point. Doubtful on the cintiq part. Too expensive those things.
And no, I'm not an all black fursona, just leaving it in shades of grey for now. I think I'll do some lighting passes in color, and then crop it in for composition (looking at it right now makes me want to cry, I totally ignored that side of the art while building it. My anatomy was pretty good for just freehanding it with shapes, if I do say so myself. Not an easy thing to pull off).
Fennecs are awesome, and we know it. ;3
Thankies! :3

-crosses fingers for you as well- Hey, here's to hoping. :3 I have a trusty Wacom Bamboo pen. ^^ Its really nice, but my laptop likes to mess with it and not sense its plugged in half the time. -_-; But hey, it works eventually.
Ohh, okay. :D Good. I love the markings on your 'sona and if he was going to go all black and charcoal I'd have been sad. XD But yes, that is really good anatomy for free handing. :P I find it hard to get anatomy right myself, but hey. I try. X3
No problem. ^^ Take care!

Thank you, it does have a very retro feel, particularly in the facial expression (the closed graphic eyes especially.). I miss the days when simplicity was the selling ticket... I think we are back in the MORE MORE MORE GRAPHICS EVERYWHERE phase again. Ugh, like motion typography? I am so sick of seeing that everywhere.
