Description
This is a revamp of an older piece. Now I know there is going to be at least one person crying "NNOOOOO! I like the older one better!" because without fail, every damn time I do a revamp, that happens. So if you like the older version better, here it is: bjpentecost.deviantart.com/art⦠I don't know why you would like a plasticy, stiff thing like that but hey, whatever floats your boat or tickles your fancy. That was actually one of the first digital paintings I had ever done. I think I had only been using Photoshop for about a year at that point.Blueclaw is part red fox and part fennec with some Aedaha in his ancestry (hence the lanky, elongate build).
Photoshop, 25hrs + whatever it took to accomplish the original painting (can't remember, probably 20hrs or something).

You're welcome!
Your wonderful picture inspired me to continue with my own digital art!Β

For being so lanky, he must be quite the warrior. Judging by those scars I have two conclusions: he either had his appendix removed, or he was in one hell of a knife fight!

Interesting observations. ^__^ He's not exactly a warrior per se but he will fight if he has to and he has had to fight on occasion. He's not ace at it though. It's not his strong suit. He's a runner, fast as hell. He can run and jump through the trees, almost surfing through the vegetation in a way. :3 Β

So does that mean he's more of a Rogue than some brutish warrior? I guess that explains why he's so handsome, he must be quite the charmer too...

Indeed. He's definitely not brutish and he can be charming though it's more of a haphazard accidental charm. :3

Like he doesn't know he's being charming, he's just being himself?

Then I would definitely get along with him... lol

Reminds me of the Rococo style of painting because of the way you did the plants and flowers.

Oh trust me. I have no problems with a remake - especially this cute young male.

To me, comparing the two versions would be like trying to compare an apple with a pear. I like them both.

It's interesting how many people say that. I was honestly expecting the first one to get a lot of sticks and stones because it was kinda.... well..... bad imo. XD

You've come SOOO far! Such an inspiration to me <3

Daww. ^__^ Thanks. *hugs* I could say the same about you. You remind me A LOT of the way I was when I was your age only you're way ahead of where I was. O__O So I wonder where you'll be when you hit 30. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll probably slow down in the next year and crawl to a stop, still looking the same when I'm 30
Hehe thankyooouuuu though ^^ Made my day! <3

Actually I like this one much better....the colors, facial expression, the "mood" of the piece and the background. I'm sure I'm not alone.

I am as always struck by the anatomical realism you show here. Add a bit of eccets I could have taken this for a real photograph.

Astoundingly beautiful and detailed. Β As always, inspiring and impressive work. Β I like this one far more than the original.

If you had worked in oils, you'd be destroying the original work.

I actually used to work in oils. I still do sometimes. I prefer acrylics. XD

Acrylics are nice because they dry quickly, so you can paint while on holiday and put it in your luggage for the flight back....

I prefer the softer more organic look in this one.

You've really improved since your earlier works. ( Though I kinda prefer the sci-fi theme to the fantasy one myself, but I'm a minimalist)
The clouds look real fluffy, and so does his tail. Good work with the textures here. You've also got a talent for the designs and embellishments your characters wear. Have you considered trying your hand at metalurgy?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks. ^__^ I have not ever tried my hand at metallurgy but BOY would I love to! If I had the time, that is one of many, many things I would love to try out. The closest I have ever come to metallurgy is 3D printing with metals. images1.sw-cdn.net/model/pictuβ¦
I really, really reaaaallllyyyyyy want to print this out in metal: www.shapeways.com/model/181635β¦ but it's too big. I'd have to break it up into pieces. And it would also be VERY expensive, probably around 350$ to print it in bronze or brass.

Very stunning painting! Are the leafs and flowers individually painted in, or more towards photo-manipulation?
π: 0 β©: 1
I painted most of the leaves by hand and I made some in Blender, rendered them, then composited them. It was a bit of a pain in the ass (setting up the materials for the leaves was a PAIN. XD) but I think it ended up looking good in the end so it is a technique I will be experimenting with further. I mean, if it looks like it could be photo-manip, then hell yeah, you bet your ass I'll be trying that technique out some more. XD
So in short: Photoshop/Blender.
