Puddle Duck

I decided to share my other drawings. It'll mostly end up being furry art. There might be some random fanart thrown in at some point.

My character, Dorian, is dominating the first post, but I have other characters I'll post later.

Oops, I didn't notice you nice folks had replied. Sorry! Thank you for the kind compliments!

Great job so far!
If i can ask, How many layers do you use when you paint?
Personally i find i like to paint the whole image on more or less the same layer
 

It depends on the drawing, but I almost always use at least 5 layers. I have the sketch, ink, flat, shade and highlights. I usually end up with over 20 layers and just as many saves. Lately, I've been merging the sketch layers together and doing the same with the ink so I don't have so much to deal with. I tried doing the one layer thing and found I didn't enjoy it and would get easily frustrated.


Now for my Gerudo Link! I was going to put more details in this one, but my arm cramped up and I decided to call it a night. As always, I shrank it down by over half so it wouldn't swamp the screen. (I draw on a 10" x10" canvas on a smaller laptop.)





 

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Finances and housing trouble have kept me away. I'll have a picture of Gerudo Vai Link as a MLP up soon. I'm hoping to have a commission shop open soon as well. Due to the troubles already mentioned we're trying to scrape together $30,000 to get out of a horribly toxic situation. Please commission me when I'm open and/or spread the word if you can. It will be greatly appreciated. I realize I can't possibly draw enough to reach our goal, but this is all I can do to help and every penny counts. 

Luna has always been my number one favorite. (I just wish I could find more merchandise.) As for this forum there is a Luna fan club that seems to be fairly active.

The MST3K version of Horror of Party Beach.

I got the 20th Anniversary Mew plushy from my husband for Christmas! I had totally given up on getting one and certainly didn't expect to unwrap one today. I squealed and he grinned like a Cheshire cat.

I have a white birthmark on the front of my left ankle. I'm naturally very, very pale so I have to spend practically every day outside under the summer sun for it to show up. Of course, because I'm so pale I try to avoid extended time in the sun. It looks a bit like a horse's head. When I was around 3 I told everyone it meant I could run fast.

From my mother-in-law and father-in-law: 

A Pikachu plushy (the same one they get me every year. It's becoming tradition at this point.)
2 Pokemon booster packs
A Pokemon figure set with Hoopa and Pikachu
We found out my mother-in-law thinks Pokemon is just "the yellow one."

From my brother-in-law and his family:

A huge, amazing, fuzzy Pikachu blanket
3 Pokemon booster packs
They also didn't know anything Pokemon except "the yellow one."

From Alecks:

A Black Series Kylo Ren
A Black Series Cassian
The 20th Anniversary Mew plushy
2 Pokemon booster packs

From my best friend:

The Sun and Moon New Nintendo 3DS XL (I got it the day Sun and Moon came out)

From Santa:

A Charmander plushy

Dogs that were over 50lbs. I could tell they weighed more than 50lbs because they were heavier than the 50lb dog food bags I had to lift. (For the general record the largest dog I've worked with was a 150lb rottie. Thankfully, I never had to pick him up.)

Will do. I've been trying to draw something daily to get into a proper habit.

I wanted to do something simple so here's a colored sketch.

When I was a kid (12 and under in this case) my mom went all out with decorations in every room and a wreath on the front door as soon as Thanksgiving was over. She would surprise my brother and I with a new ornament and we'd put the tree up. After that she would bake all sorts of cookies and make candies.

My brother and I would get new pajamas to wear and on Christmas morning we'd be up with the sun to open presents. This usually resulted in her grumpily telling us to go back to bed. Around 10 am she'd come out and make hot chocolate for me and hot strawberry for my brother and load them up with marshmallows. While she did that her boyfriend lit a fire and we'd sit in front of it. We were handed our stockings first that were stuffed to bursting with sweets and small gifts. Then we'd open the rest.

Later in the day our grandma, older brother, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc would all come around for dinner. All the females cooked while all the males watched sports (that always annoyed me a good bit especially since they didn't have to help with clean up either). Then there would be more gifts. My dad would come to take my brother and I home after everyone else had left which was usually around 9pm.

Dad didn't have a lot of money being a single father of 2 without any form of child support so Christmas was always tight at home. We always had a tree and a Christmas carousel even if we didn't have anything else, but he always tried to make Christmas special.

The things I really missed when I had my first Christmas away from family was the stocking my mom always set up and the Christmas carousel my dad would put out. I still have yet to wake up to my stocking stuffed with sweets, but my husband and best friend went in together a few years back to buy me the Christmas carousel from my childhood. I ended up crying so much. XD

My husband buys me a new ornament every year since my mom never sent mine. After we got married we started a new tradition of buying a special ornament that we write the year on. He also reminds me to write a list for Santa and every year there is a present under the tree that says, "From Santa."

There are six Half Price Books, seven Barnes & Nobles, twenty libraries and a large assortment of mom and pop bookstores in the city closest to me. I didn't count the bookstores and libraries in surrounding towns. Even my small town of less than 400 people has a mini library that was recently added. I don't think I have to worry about bookstores and libraries going the way of the dinosaurs anytime soon.

Did you see this one? I think it's the right one. It's the cheapest I saw with posted shipping and good seller reviews.

A new "painting" as promised. I drew this one while listening to the Celtic Woman A Christmas Celebration CD. I don't like it anywhere near as much as my Luna picture, but it's only my second time with this style. I look forward to improving it.

I don't remember last night's dream, but the dream I had during my nap today was crazy. I was trying to sleep off a fever I've had for the last few days and things got weird.

I was in my kitchen and I looked out at the driveway we share with my in-laws and there were a ton of unknown cars like they were having a party. I then noticed that the front door wasn't locking and was worried someone would come in. I turned to go to the tool box and sure enough it started trying to open. I rushed back and looked out the peep hole that our door doesn't have in the real world. On the steps was someone my brain registered as Alecks, but he didn't look like Alecks and he was dressed like a juggalo.

The very next thing to cross my mind while still asleep and dreaming was, "Yeah, no. Time to wake up. Fever must have gotten worse."
 

My AI would have a sense of humor like K-2SO, but then probably go full Ultron because that's my luck. Never go full Ultron.

Here's some more art. I have drawings of Hershey and Apple Swirl in the works, but I seem to have caught something. My motivation is lagging and I just want to sleep.


My very first oc pony, Apple Swirl (no relation to the Apple family). It was Fall and I was eating a lot of apple things.



L from Death Note. I forgot to include him with the Zelda stuff.



An old ad drawing



A picture of Derpy that was done the same day as the Rainbow Dash ad

1. According to an old post on this forum the plot thing came from a meme. It was a joke like the old "I buy adult magazines for the articles." They watch the show for the "plot."

2. I think the Derpy/Dinky thing is just because they look similar. I prefer the idea of them being sisters more than them being mother and daughter.

3. Lyra's thing with hands is another meme. She sat on a bench like a human in an episode so the idea that she was somehow obsessed with humans was born. Something like that anyway.

4. I don't know why people ship Fluttershy and Discord, but it's probably similar to why I like to ship her with King Sombra. I like King Sombra, the art is cute in my favorite comic of the two of them and the pairing makes me laugh.

At the end of the day it's just people having fun.

Pansexual. The first time I heard the term I thought the guy was making a joke and asked how he found kitchen pans arousing. Oops.

Anxious. The power just flickered in and out and it's 2°F out with a wind chill advisory. If the power goes out I'll have to walk over to my in-laws' house and hang out with them until the power comes back. I don't want to hang out with my in-laws!

*hugs* I'm sorry to hear that. Family should never treat each other that way.

My mom, brother and mother-in-law for several reasons.

The least horrible thing both my mom and mother-in-law have done was tell me they wished I was dead on multiple occasions. My mother-in-law also told my husband she wished he was dead and that neither she nor his dad loved him. (His dad said otherwise.)

My brother used to beat me until I required medical attention and my mom encouraged it.

Thankfully, my mom and brother live on the other side of the country and my MIL is moving south next May. I'm certainly better off without them.
 

The MST3K version of Tormented

I don't remember ever writing anything really weird for papers, but most of my English classes required us to write a daily journal. I used those journals to work on the stories I would have just written in a different notebook. That was the easiest bit of homework ever.
