Artist's Comments

Woo! It's finally done. This piece is a real shocker too. Why? I'm actually HAPPY with it and it has a background that I didn't half-ass!! :O

This piece was mainly to experiment and see if I could pull off a marker/colored pencil mixed media piece. I've used acrylics to do a wash and then used colored pencil on top before. But I hate the wait time so I used markers to do the same thing instead. :) It also makes the colored pencil rendering take less time.

I had planned on doing a different subject for my experiment but remembered that I've been meaning to do this idea for a while. I wasn't sure I'd ever actually get to put it on paper if I didn't start now! Like most things I do, it didn't come out exactly like I'd planned but still, I am very pleased. Especially with the background. I knew I would ruin the piece if I didn't plan and spend time on the background after spending so much time on the figure. So I managed to convince myself to work up a nice background.

I have no idea what that crystal is. That's just how I envisioned it initially. The kanji on it means 'fire.' I chose it because I like fire (I'm not a pyro), kitsune traditionally use foxfire, and fire is my element. There is no significance to the number of tails she has. I just wanted to do more than 2 and 3 fit nicely. :)

Medium: Marker 'wash' and colored pencil

Crits always welcome. Just because I'm happy with it doesn't mean it's perfect (and I know there are mistakes).

It seems that you can work quite well with markers/colored pencils! :) Great job! :)

Thanks! This is the first time I've combined the two in this way. I've done it for cartoony pieces before.

I'm glad you like it.

Wow Jamie, this is really, really nice. My main crit is that his eyes are two different sizes and his left leg seems smaller and set farther in than his right leg.

Yeah, her eyes are a bit different in size but I tried to make it look like she was squinting a bit. Tried anyway. And yup, you caught the other big mistake with that left leg. Gah foreshortening. 'Tis evil. EVIL.

Thanks for the crit and the nice comments though. :D They are both appreciated. :)

It looks good. the eyes give him a conniving look... though the eyes aren't realistic, real fox eyes are smaller.

let burn the flames and through the fire shall souls be cleansed, through suffering we know of joy. for without sadness how can one comprehend happiness? there would be no basis of comaparison and thus all emotions would be the same. a bland existance.
