nice!

Cheers

you and artdecade? *drools*

どうやってこの雑誌を買うことができますか？

The logistics aren't 100% clear yet (to me, anyway), but once I know, I'll make a big post about it!

乞うご期待！

Thank you, Kamui. Thank you for confirming the transformation of my nascent love of hircine, cervine, and ovine anthros into a full-blown fetish for things with horns. This ram is both debonair and unspeakably sexy.

Yeah, I'm down with goats and rams just as soon as you do something about their freaky rectangular pupils. 'Cause that shit ain't right <3

Definitely a sucker for horns and antlers, though!

I imagine in this ram's universe there exist cosmetic contacts designed to give the illusion of 'regular' pupils. Then there'd be a 'natural beauty' counter-movement. Wouldn't matter either way, though: dem horns.

I'm down with people who can use the word "nascent" in a sentence. :)

(Though I'll have to look into how hircine differs from caprine)

But I agree, horned stuff is underrepresented in sexiness. :P

The words are nearly synonymous, but I chose 'hircine' because it has a musty, lustful, satyr-like connotation, which seemed appropriate since we are swooning of the sexiness of an anthropomorphic goat.

But who does what?

Artdecade's the girl (hooooo!), no. We're both doing figures for a combined project. He painted his dudes and I'm painting mine, but they'll be coming together in a fun way <3

Oh I thought like he would draw the figure and you would color it, if vice versa,but apparently its,more like those open canvas days.

That is some kickass style there.

Thanks! This time around, it's all about the clothes <3

!

?!

I dunno, this picture is really nice, and it made me happy, haha

Haha, i was just teasing, but thanks!

gosh i love your art cant wait to see where this goes. do you ever stream. id love to see you work

I'd like to! It seems like fun, plus maybe that way I'd actually sit still and paint instead of fidgeting and F5ing and getting up every 30 seconds to get a drink or a snack or anything to avoid continuing to paint, apparently.

I PROMISE ALL WATCH IF I CAN

You remind me of myself *ashamed*

Eh, it all works out in the end <3

Wonderful textures!

Cheers!

Oh he is just divine! Wonderful expression, colours, textures, shading....j'adore! Cannot wait to see the finished picture!

Thanks! I just finished painting him a bit ago, so now he's pending layout and getting matched up with Artdecade's work <3

Ha, I actually like this half finished version. It's like he's in the corridor between realism and cartoonism.

Yeah, I figured I'd post a fairly early-on shot for kicks ^_^

I can never get enough suit-wearing anthros!
They are brilliant and dangerous

If you dig fashion, definitely stay tuned for more info on this project!

very beautiful! I love the brush strokes on this. Are they custom made brushes?

Thank you! And yes, it's all one brush -- an irregular-shaped custom guy (kind of an oblong blob with a few stray bristles here and there) that has a texture applied to it, and which fades in opacity with pen pressure <3

oh man oh man. Thats awesome :D

quite the dapper fellow

You know it!

Tease us some more! My what big horns he has!

He also has seven or eight growing out of each hand!

very nice, I particularly like the horn

Thanks! Haha, he now has another one to match <3

I love the soft rendering in the jacket and the detail in the horns, really wonderful!

Thanks! The horn, scarf, and shirt were rendered in, but the jacket and face are pretty much done here, so there's hopefully still some nice contrast between more detailed spots and some areas of rest ^_^

Jamma Ramma.
Excellent texture ^^

Cheers! Most of it came from the brush I used on this guy ^_^

My computer needs more Rams.

Dude, that was terrible. I laughed <3

It's what I do. :)

Guys need to wear scarves more.

Rite???

I'm doing my part with a cravat fold on my scarf to my... 'Paletå', the English name for it escapes me. I can name by definition that it is shorter than an overcoat but longer than a jacket. I really fell in love with them and is always part my winterwear. Are you doing your part? :33

Forgot my picture(s)

I would call those overcoats!

And yeah, I'm a scarf junkie. As the weather gets cooler here, most (normal) people are like, "Time to break out the scarves!" For me, it's, "Time to put away the summer scarves and break out the autumn scarves!" Haha...

Handsome.

Cheers!

rams will never not look a little satanic

Well yeah, but it's not their fault they all worship satan (all hail his fiery name).

At least "a little satanic" can still be hot. Like, full-blown, Linda Blair satanic? Not so hot.

Bam!

Really excited for how this is turning out!

Thanks, man! Hopefully it'll go well with the rest of the zine, which promises to be siiiick.

Real good at Ted? What does that even mean?

Obviously good at http://www.ted.com/

Looks lovely so far, pretty ram fellow.

Cheers <3

It's all good ^_^

LOVING the coloring/detail on that horn... AUGH. You choose colors so perfectly...

Eh, the nice thing with Photoshop is that there's room for a lot of adjustment after the fact <3

Loving the horns so far! And the clothes are quite dapper

Cheers! His boots are kind of a play on the horns, so hopefully that'll be a fun touch.

Your style remind me a lot of the artist of Blacksad and it's killing me from being so neat.
I wish I could learn how to painting with such texture.
Do you mind to point it out for a newbie, good sir?

That's high praise indeed!

Generally, with digital painting, pre-fabricated texture (texture beyond just the paint you're putting on the canvas) is going to come from two places: the brush you're painting with, or a texture overlay. This piece is almost entirely the former -- you can see a very faint bit of texture on the background which is a texture overlay over the whole thing. Everything else was brush texture.

There are tons of fun textured brushes out there, or it's a great idea to get into a habit of making your own. Under the brush palette, you can tick the "Texture" box and adjust settings there to apply a texture to any brush.

Hopefully that helps some! If you have specific questions, let me know ^_^

Easy on the eye, dare I say simple, but that makes it the wonderful piece it is. I really like the colors, the horns, clothing choice, nice work.

Cheers! It's got a bit more going on now that it's finished, but it's still definitely about the clothes ^_^

I fucking can't. This is delicious. That horn is obscene- in a magically great way. That snout. That scarf. Pardon me while I flail.

Haha, yaaaay.

Thanks, mister.

I really like this piece, the look in their eye, how you have roughed out the horns and the loose fur brush strokes!

Thanks! It's still fairly loose in the final version, though obviously it's a bit more finished that it is here ^_^

I'm hoping the book will be published soon so I can point folks to it! Should be a lot of good material in there.

nothing wrong with loose if it still conveys the information you want to show. I actually find it harder to keep things loose, than controlled
I think it requires more skill as you know where you want that mark.

For sure! Simplifying and distilling things down to their essence is at the heart of making art, I think, and I think in addition to having skill (or knowledge, I suppose), it requires a kind of confidence that I really don't yet have. Which is why I'm trying to work on it with stuff like this! ^_^

Yeah I agree with all of that, I too should do some simplifying exercises, and being more confident with my mark making.
Great work!

Cheers, and sweet paints yourself! Good luck to both of us <3

Thanks! means a lot coming from you as I think you have your gestural marks pretty sorted!

superb work!

Cheers!

Damn this is nice

That is nice of you to say!
