Saw this in my recent submissions, knew it was yours right away, you have a distinct style, totally dig the look of your stuff.
Looking forward tomore posts.

And I'm looking forward to getting a chance to hear more about how the convention went down ;).

Thanks for the compliments! Hopefully something pops up sooner rather than later.

Derpy avatar was cute ^_^ But I do love this one as well. It turned out very well. Keep up the good work.

Mmm, I like the outcome, especially in terms of coloring! How do you color your art, btw?

Well, I used to combine a bunch of different layers and carefully adjust it as I went along...but this took forever.

Lately, all I do is make a sketch, do some really basic lines over top of it and then colour in everything on a single layer. I'm trying to approach my art from the perspective of painting....so I guess I try to take a more additive approach than a subtractive one (everything goes over top of everything else, I don't erase so much as I just add more colour). Also, I start with flat colours (in this case, the colour of brown surrounding the rightmost eyebrow), then add some simple shadows, mid tones, highlights, and then detail if I need to further define fur/scales/wrinkles. Most of the smaller strokes are the result of the detailing stage.

For complicated surfaces like fur, I try to factor in the direction of the piles into my brush strokes. The back of the cheek and the head are a pretty good example of that in this picture, and it helps to make a really simple colouring job look better than it should :).

For tones and stuff, I just go by preference. I seem to have a thing for earthen tones, so a lot of what I draw ends up combining greens, browns, dark yellows and reds. However, I often find myself thinking a picture is too 'bright' once it's finished, so I'll 'cheat' a little and put a darker filter over top and colour correct using that.

This is sort of hard for me to explain because I've never been asked before! I'll upload a copy of the file this pic came from as well as the software I used to make it; Seeing by eye might help explain things better than I can by words. I accidentally drew over the sketch in this picture, so my apologies for that :c.

Marf, need to download OpenCanvas first in order to be able to view the file :P I get the idea, though. Asking since I don't color stuff digitally myself, just wondered how you finish off your pieces :)

Hey, this looks really good! I'm liking the lines of this guy, and the coloring looks rather good in the avatar version! c:

Thanks for the kind words + fav! Now it's your turn to get to uploading something~

Haha, yeah... School is kicking my ass lately, but I try to do something in my free time c:
