EDIT: Press Space to see my entry for number 2 ^^ I like this one a lot more XD I'd rather win 2 than 1 :) Scroll down to see me talk more about it :) Ahhh I love this guy so much and I plan to enter for numbers 2 and 3 as well but I was so proud of this and wanted to get some feedback so I'm sharing this now. I'll add the other two when I do them and let you know that I've added them ^^ I'm currently experimenting with how I do art and styles and so I wanted to try a more painterly style and start with greyscale as well. So I did the greys for the base and then colour picked the colours from the picture and put them on an overlay layer. The bright green came out too neon for my tastes so I tones it down a bit (it's still really bright though XP but it's much better than it was) I then had to make some edits with the colours. Overall it was a ton of fun to make and I really want to win this guy >w< I feel like the muzzle should have been a bit longer and thinner but I noticed too late to really change it XP But I think it still looks good ^^ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh my gosh I love this so one so much! I think number 2 is my favourite ^^ I tried a different process this time, starting with the base colours then doing the lines and greyscale for shading before adding some colour on overlay for the shading and lighting. I then messed around with the goop and made the background :) Overall it was a ton of fun to make and I really enjoy painting this way! I like how the colours turned out better on this one than the last one though they are different than the original due to how it was painted XP
.:Bio for #1:. Name: Viridian Age: 19 Gender: Genderless (I need to remember not to refer to them as a he XD) Species: Gnocchi Personality: Viridian is a curious and kind of clumsy Gnocchi. They enjoy exploring but often get into trouble because they are deaf. They love interacting with people despite the fact that it's often a challenge given the fact that they can't hear people, this often leads to very interesting encounters. Viridian is of the opinion that everyone is good and has no reason to do evil and is very confused when they see people doing bad things and has trouble grasping their motives. He is very innocent and friendly and very observant of the world and people around him. Backstory: Viridian grew up in a very safe, loving and nurturing household. Their neighbours were friendly and overall their community was a safe and good environment. As they grew up they grew more and more curious about what the world outside their village was like. Their parents were initially reluctant given his deafness and feared for their safety but eventually let them explore the woods around the village. As they grew even older he was allowed more freedom to explore and eventually their family decided to move to a new place to allow them to experience more of the world. The place they moved however as not as friendly and often confused Viridian, he saw bad things on the news and was distressed by this. They are currently still living in this new town and are learning more about the world and how it's not always such a friendly place. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .:Bio for :.
