Oh my, thank you. n///n

haha, well.. there's lots of him to cuddle with~

Haha, he's straight. But he'll do anything for a bar of chocolate.

Marcus: Oh, oh! *hops left and right, like a cat seeing a ball of yarn*... ch-chocolate. W... Mmmm... I hear Swedish make very very delicious chocolates. You want a hug? *pounces on you with his arms wide* That bar is mine, zombie vamp! *huggles you tight*

hehe handsome guy :3 nice work on him

Thank you~ well, I tried. Glad I didn't disappoint.

Muscules are NOT really my thing, but I can't press the back button before telling you this first. Ahem.

This is fucking sweet. The pectoral muscules look a bit over-detailed, but other than that it's Hawthawthawthawthawthawt, as Toby Turner would say. @w@

Haha. Thank you for your time. ...

And I'm glad you like the pic. It's been quite a while since I colored anything. As for the chest, well... I rather like them that way. XD...

Haha. Hawthawthawthawthawt. ... funny.

Amazing coloration!

Oh my. ... thank you very much. u///u...

I feel so flattered. >////>... you color your work so epically.

Wow. that turned out really awesome ^^

Oh my, thanks. n///n... heehee. Maybe I'll color my work more often then.

i think you should ^^

wow it looks even more amazing in color

Thank you! ... well, it did take me quite a while to finish.

I really have to say the coloring you made on his eyes make them look really great and quite realistic ^^

Heehee... his gold eyes. Yes, thanks for noticing. <3

Mrawr X3

Indeed. ... thank you.

Trash is no match for a hunk like him.

Well, hehe. It's junk vs. hunk. <3... Thank you.

better in color.That finished the image almost perfectly.

Thank you. u///u... Coloring really makes linework many times more interesting~

that is genreally true. However there have been some artists (not you) that make their art worse when they color it.

Now that you mention it, I do think some are like that. ...

I'm glad you don't consider me one of them. u///u.. thank you.

Good lord he looks huge XD Awesome

Haha, I guess he is. <3... thank you. n///n... his lifting job at the junkyard has built him up quite nicely.

Haha yea it has

I would not mind helping that hunk move his "junk" at any time.

I'm sure he'll appreciate the help, among other things. >w>...

Thank you.

I cannot believe how everyone else is improving with his art so fast... This is so brilliant

Improving? O////O... oh my! Thank you very much! ...

You just made my day.

Well...but... this is so obvious. No flattering intended, mon amour

But I am flattered. >/////<... even though you didn't intend to.

Now with even MOAR hotness! XD

Hehe. YES! even moar hotness. >w<

Thank you. <3

Good work, your better with colours then I am ^^ Keep it up

Haha, thanks. ... though you really do colors better than me. I'll try to keep the art up. ^^

Rawrrr what a beautiful piece of art you did here <3

I must say you colored this pic quite well with using the pen tools quite skillful =3
And the colors are very well chosen indeed, very warm and nature-like... or should I better say chocolate-milk like?

Anyways, I really love it, definetly one of my favorites of your gallery... well.. all your art is my favorite in your gallery ^w^

Keep up your wonderful art, you are improving well indeed <3

Thank you very much, dear bro. u////u... haha, it took me many tries and errors in using the pen tool. XD... It really warms my heart to hear you say that I am improving. u//////u

And the clors are mainly yellows and browns, because Marcus is yellow and brown. XD... and the only colors I could think of that fit a working suit are yellow and brown as well. ... so I guess it's nice that they fit each other.

And I also love every precious art you make, dear bro.

I like how not only does he have a marvelously ripped build, but his eyes are striking. It gives him a look that's simultaneously exotic and natural.

Oh, thank you. n///n... well, yeah. I always thought that there was something wrong with how I did his eyes, but at least I see they're liked. ... thank you kindly.

I'm just gunna pretend he's undressing. =w=

Oh snap! XD... I should have mentioned that he was undressing, rather than putting them on. That's a smexy idea. XD... well... imagine away, dear! *sits beside you and imagines as well... drooling a few seconds later*

*drools as well* =w=

Oh my, thank you. >w<... *hugs*

*pokes you*... we already have a trade. Haha. I remember. Though I've been rather busy to work on it yet. And it's been so long since. Still, I remembered.

Now that we're talking about our trade, what would you have me do?

haha, alright then, I am asking you for something specific. Though please limit it to one character. ... I have terrible difficulty with pics that have more than one character. And my fursona is the yellow kitty you could see on my FA page. >w<

Hoenheim really is quite the handsome, and hugely ripped lion <3....

Oh, and don't worry about your part. If you'd like to draw one of the boys in my gallery, you're very free to do so... if that's more suitable for you.

.... thank you then.

ripped! very nice work

Oh my, thanks!

It's really hot in here. So take off all your clothes *singing*

Very nice work!

*dances*... haha, he should.

Thanks. >w<

*Walks around the house to whistle by, passing at his side* O.O *notices kitty's presence and walks backward* o *dools a lot*

Heehee... thanks

Marcus: *sees you there, eyeing him, as he blushes and zips up his overalls*Ah! uhm... hi there. XD

Awesome coloring!

Thank you very much

This looks better colored. Awesome job.

Glad you think so.

The comments say it all, this is a phenomenal effort missy!

Heehee... Well, thankies muffin man. ... and it WAS quite a bit of an effort. thanks for noting.

Thought you said Thanks for nothing >_<;


*snuggles* My silleh lil m'dam!

I'd never say that to you~... *snuggles back*

I know *Muffin Snuggle*

O//////O
this.... If I ever need to lose blood, I'll come find you. This'll do the trick -///////-
He reminds me of gourmet chocolate with that beautiful color. I'd half expect him to taste sweet (don't think too hard about that statement).

The ten pack is very nice, and I really love the slight curve to his stance.

And the eyes... You've done them so well, and everything draws attention to then. He's staring right at me and I can't look away. They're so bright, framed by his soft bangs and with his gloved paws pointing inward toward them. Even his abs, seductive though they are, draw attention to them because your gaze naturally follows that white trail up the beautiful ridges until you're stolen - trapped in those enchanting candied pools.

...... Feel free to give me a request some time -/////- I'd be happy to do one.

Oh my. Haha, such a long comment. I enjoy these. *reads*

Oh my, whoever wants to lose blood intentionally? XD... Haha, though thank you for the bloody patronage. *chuckles*... you're so funny. >w<

Gourmet chocolate. Oh my, that does sound delectable. ... and Marcus, the way I thought of him as an OC, is totally crazy over chocolate. He would jump over a bridge for chocolate, if the quality is right. XD... and don't worry. "You are what you eat"... and I've also been wondering how he tastes like for a long time now. <w<...

And the washboard abs are just something he gets out of his job, I suppose. haha. thank you. u///u... I always thought there was something a little wrong about his eyes, but it seems that
You're quite nice. *hugs*... thank you for seeing all those points about the pic. ... and you were even being all nicely poetic at the end there

A request? hmmm.... well... I'm not sure if you're up for a story with some nice muscular detail? <///<

Yeah, nose bleeds are generally unpleasant at high altitudes XD.

Oh that's funny! I was skimming over your reply and thought I read the phrase "chocolate abs." You are a naughty girl X/3

Puhleeeeeaaaase. Dahling, I was BORN to write nice muscular detail. Read this if you need evidence: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4700567/

..... It DOES get very messy, though, so feel free to stop if things start getting too hot for you >///////<

Chocolate abs? <w<.. >w>.. I didn't say that. X3... but when I reread my comment, I thought I saw it too. Oh you, putting ideas into my head. And that particular idea was not bad at all

And you really are quite talented as a writer <3... wonderful vocabulary, flexible storytelling, colorful descriptions. Though I just scrolled down faster during the sensitive parts. >////>...

And I MUST say! you really do know how to write some very nice muscle moments there. >////<... though I had to be very careful. Where there were muscles, there was definitely something much more sensual to follow.

So anyways, alrighty. >w<... hmmm. A story about one of my boys perhaps? something akin to this lovely piece of muscle literature here. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3707956/

Oh, it's quite a good idea I agree ^w^

Sorry if you had to scroll a lot then >_<




Oh, so freelance? Mmmmm.... well I normally ask for more details, but I could easily just do a fan-fic of one of your characters if you're alright with that. I would need a fairly detailed bio if you don't want them doing/saying things you wouldn't like.

As to that story.... I'm going to try to finish it, but.... Well, what can I say? It's so detailed that it could evoke a perfect moving in the mind so that reading the story would be preferable to any actual movie one could make of it. It COULD BE, but it just doesn't. It's incredibly well detailed, but there's nothing poetic or novel enough about it to captivate an audience and really draw them in other than the topic of the story itself. There's a technique that he really needs to incorporate and it goes thus:

A reader tends to focus more on dialogue than on narration because they're used to living in real life, which has no narration. Ergo, it's good to make dialogue and narration flow within the same paragraph so that the reader pays more attention to the narration, which goes with the dialogue, and naturally experiences a higher level of immersion. Example:

'Jane excitedly put her hands on Mary's shoulders. Her eyes burned bright with questions. "So what did he say? Did he ask you out?" '
This makes both the mistake of keeping dialogue and narration separate, and puts all narration before dialogue. It also takes little use of poetic details. A better way to put it might be:
'Jane excitedly put her hands on Mary's shoulders. "So what did he say? Did he ask you out?" she asked, eyes burning brightly like little suns of curiosity.'
This way makes dialogue and narration flow together smoothly.
You will also notice that the second example does not contain a single detail or description that couldn't already be pulled from the first example. But the use of similes makes the sentence intriguing. For more reference, I would recommend SAShadowfox. One could be forgiven for saying that his stories drag on describing every single thing that passes in the course of a day, but he describes it so originally that I never find myself getting bored with it. He could have been writing about a white eighth grade geography teacher doing his taxes and I still wouldn't have found the reading too tedious.

But yeah... Other than all that, there were a lot of issues with tenses and such. The piece needs some tidying up. I'd recommend that he read through it again and make corrections.

Oh shoot, forgot to mention!

Chet seems really, really afraid of "he said - she said." This is a reasonable fear and one that all good writers have. But he fails to see that the trick is to use it without becoming reliant on it. He's trying to make his technique more interesting than just chocolate, but it winds up being just banana, if ya get what I mean. The trick is to use different types of pronouns, minor nouns, and direct and indirect address, and use them ALL throughout the story as this big, delicious cocktail of varied dialogue-accompaniment narrative that gives you all of these distinct tastes of strawberry and kiwi and melon and pineapple and papaya and mango with just a pinch of nutmeg to give it a bit of spice.

Also, metaphors are golden =3

your skill wish shading is a far bit improved since your last color work! you either got some secret practice or you are making some serious leaps and bounds in your coloring skills elly! :D now all you have left is soft lighting transitions and your style will bloom into something iconic all it's own. <3

well, i guess it kinda is already...but more so. :P

Oh my. >w<... thank you very much, dear. u///u...

Haha, trust me. no secret practice. XD... I just had a compulsion to use the pen tool. And actually, the shading was simpler after that. But the effect was fabulous ...

now, soft lighting transitions. That's exactly what made me think to use the pen tool in the first place. ... though I was very very far from achieving it. ^^"... haha, miscalculations on my part of colors.

I appreciate the sweetness *huggles you gently*

well, something that might help for the future then, you can reduce the hardness and the translucency at the edge and the airbrush tool is great for light and glow effects. :3

also, try doing your shading on it's own layer so you can freely adjust the color tone bars for variations on colors like you had an issue with. ;)

lastly, your always welcome elly. <3

Oh! Thank you for the tips, I'll keep them in mind. n///n... that might be the key to my soft lighting transitions problem.

And don't you worry, I'm very meticulous with my layers.

Heehee, I can't wait to see your next colored work, with you knowing these. ... you must be having fun tinkering with photoshop tools.

hehe, i have been enjoying doing some experimenting admittedly. XD i'm glad i was able to help you on your end, i can't wait to see how you apply it! :D

wow sis...this is a big piece of awesomeness...you got better since my last activitiy over here...go on ;)
i like it pretty much!

Perfection.

It's like a male you!

Only gripe I got is that feline muscles not work that way. That aside... I would love Marcus to check my engine...
...my car's engine i mean *adds hastily*

Good ripped look, well defined. Like seeing obliques stand out that well.
