Bust commission - Sergal
Here's something a very dear, long-time friend of mine commissioned! It's my first time drawing a sergal and she wanted the anatomically correct long sergal neck, that was quite a challenge in addition to all the floof! Still it's good to get practice.
Thank you so much! I was so unsure about that I weighed up just making him plantigrade because in the ref I was provided the character was, but the commissioner didn't make any mention either way. So it's reassuring that you noticed it in a positive way, thanks!
You and the community here are so nice! 😭💙 For sure I want to do a raffle or request here sometime in the future and I'd welcome you to take part if you'd wish! For sure it was, I would do well to be able to work consistently with a more impressionistic or sketchy style, but there's an unfortunate combination of perfectionism and not being able to see the wood for the trees in me which makes that difficult. Speaking of trees, you should see me trying to draw one, it doesn't end well LOL
Finally finished this full body commission!
Downloading more ram(wolf)! This is a very late commission result and yeah, I definitely feel bad about that in particular. But I don't feel bad about how next level this is for how detailed it is and how far I pushed my digital art skills! It's one of my first and few detailed background attempts. Hope you all like it! (Please don't actually try to download more RAM)
Maybe protogen, not sure why that comes to mind. Seems to be common with sharks too. Hyena seems likely too for some reason, maybe because of the inversion of traditional gender roles.
Thank you! I hadn't seriously considered doing more with this style but perhaps I should offer commissions for it, it's a lot faster to work with than my usual style 🤔
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! Perhaps I've found my niche...
Threw out most of what I've learned making furry art to make this!
And it took around an hour, the fastest I've gone from blank canvas to completed piece in probably ever. Needless to say it's very messy when you look beyond the surface level, but I think it works even though going against typical advice.
Thanks! I've done a headshot commission or two since then I think, got another fullbody of a twist on my character and a refsheet for someone else unfinished (it wasn't paid so no one is being ripped off).
The biggest obstacles to more are burnout and having to do wage slavery because none of my efforts to escape it have worked out. The AI "revolution" being poised to put everyone out of every job that isn't scrubbing toilets for pennies doesn't help with motivation!
I worked on a sorta unique tool for a long time (sure doesn't look like it though because I rewrote it from scratch twice in the process!) Would like to post here, there is a free version with no time or content restrictions and a paid version that just has more features, but I'm afraid it could come across as advertising if I post. What would be your stance on it?
The last fullbody art I did!
This is a commission I took from a friend of a friend! I can see mistakes in it these days, but it's still one of the better and more refined, completed pieces I've made!
Request clarification on CW re NSFW
So I've read the CoC Content Warning policy in the announcements community and wanted to make sure of something to avoid making a mistake in my first post. In 5.1.1, there is: >Any NSFW content, including real or artistic (digital or otherwise), must be behind a content warning message. NSFW content includes, but is not limited to: nudity, sex, kink, and the discussion of such.
To be absolutely clear, should furry nudity absent of any, ahem, "parts" on display be tagged NSFW?
