Artist's Comments

This is my first genuine commission that I did over time instead of at AnthroCon, and I'm very proud of the time and effort I put into it. I've always like creating drawings of others' fursonas. The most difficult part was the wingweb tattoos, but I did enjoy finishing it. This is also the largest piece of art I've ever completed at 11 x 14 inches, right off the edges of the paper. Done with Faber-Castel PITT pens, Crayola colored pencils, and background and logo by the GIMP.

I appreciate that! This is probably one of the LONGEST periods of time that I've ever taken to complete something that someone else wanted... but I can breathe a good sigh of relief that I pulled it off!

Awww, shucks. I was really worried whether I'd be able to do well with the colored pencils, but it turns out that I hadn't forgotten my old tricks. I just needed to revisit them and experiment with the combination of ink and colored pencils (Crayola, by the way!) to create maximum contrast between the two. It turns out that I ink, color, then edge the major edges again with thicker lines on top to bring the black back out. Adds the illusion of closeness to the viewer, too, if the increase in line thickness is subtle.

Heh, have to comment even though I've seen this before you posted. Again, can't thank you enough, and I'm nearly finished on my end of the deal, just the APFA and then the teams to go. Nice to see my big guy in full glory again.

That's why I use them. The leads tend to break far more easily... but for the price? Can't beat 'em. The only non-Crayola I use is fleshtone, and I use a Prismacolor for that.
