Description So there I was one day.

And..suddenly... I cannot explain it at all, I do a lot of unexplained things because sometimes I think I'm not from this planet, but.. I had this...crazy urge to draw Megara, from Disney's Hercules.

Hercules is by far one of my favourite Disney movies EVAR, and it's a shame that they don't do movies like that anymore and have resorted to annoying computer animated fluffy animal movies. They've really lost thier magic...

I've always wanted to draw Meg, but for some reason the urge was most severe this time and I decided to finally do it. I just love Meg - she's so...AHHH! I love her attitude, and her un-whiney female role and how she's not the helpless female and she actually has a brain. And her in-denial attitude is just great! So I've decided to do my rendition of her, and here it is

I'm really happy with how she turned out, minus a few things.. like her.. hand..on her hip.. is...awkward. I dunno where I was going with that, I was a little lost. Actually I think I know what I was trying to do, it's just my crappy inking probably ruined it. (Yes. That's right. Blame it on the inking.) Her hair was a lot of fun to do as well as her outfit in general Her colours, meanwhile, confused the snot out of me. I went through several reference pictures of Meg before decided that, after all the references I used, that her hair was this dark auburn brown colour, and that her dress was like a lilac colour, and the strap thing was a darker lilac colour. You wouldn't believe how many different shades I've seen on Meg, so it was really confusing and I didn't quite know where to go with the colours but I just did my best and thats what I came up with. I suppose the best thing to do was probably watch the movie and get the colours there but... See I think of that NOW, several weeks after finishign this picture. XD

Anyway, so here she is. I originally only drew her with one foot, the one on the ground, but...I thought she looks really...strange... so when I was inking the picture I drew the bottom of her other sandle up there so it looked like she was walking or skipping or something. It didn't look so strange after that. I also gave her chicken arms like mine. XD

I'm going to scare you all now. I'm going to really scare you out of your mind. I actually like the inking here.

GASPSZOUNDSWTFWOAH!!!!!

I know!! I know!! It's so strange, isn't it?? I dunno why, but I just like the inking, it actually doesn't look it's normal crappy self and...It... it actually somewhat enhances the picture! 0.0 The scan isn't that bad either, but it really dulled a lot of the colours. My scanner was having a bit of an off day that day so it didn't have the energy to maim my picture. I should be greatful... it doesn't have these days often.

The background was done with a bit of a new fun watercolour technique I made up... I think I've used it before in some pics I've posted recently, basically I take some watercolour paints, dab a peice of toilet paper (it's just more easily accessible, okay? XD) with water, and then just dab the paper with the colours on rather then paint them on. I really like the effect it gives and it's fun to do I also have more control over the colours too! So I really like the background on this one. Simple, but I like the colours

So yes, it was fun doing this rendition of Meg I don't do fanart often, but when I do I like to pick characters I find interesting and Meg was definately one of them. Hopefully Disney, once they release that new Animated movie The Frog Princess or whatever, will continue to do more animated movies..

Because computer animated animal movies are lame.

(Computer animated toys talking and going on adventures on the other hand.....)

Anyway, here is Meg! Megara here is © to Disney

Buenos dias, this be Cappy: Patron Saint of letting special artists like you know they rock!

I gotta say, I really like what I see here. What I like best is how you color...I think the only way to describe it is a 'dreamy effect'. You just blend so darn well that the characters seem to pop right off the screen.

And even though this piece is fanart, you definitely have your own style going; most of your characters have features that, if someone looking, could totally link that style back to you. I think all artists are striving to get to such a point, and you're definitely there. Good job!

You have talent, and I see a bright future ahead of you in the world of art. So take care and keep on rockin' my fellow art buddy!

Oh my god, thankyou so much!! I really appreciate hearing the feedback, and while I don't do fanart often it is really fun to see what people think when I do do it I've been darwing for years and I think I've finally reached somewhat the pont of where I want to take my style
And of course, its always nice to hear what people think of my colours since I love to colour! Thankies so much for your kind words

Hee hee, actually I find my scanner dulls my colours..

OMFG I LOVE HERCULES!!
Meg is probably one of my favourite Disney females ever... Her attitude is so unique to the "ohi'msogigglyandteeheehee" personality we normally see. She's just awesome!
Great job with drawing her too! I love how the dress came out!
They don't make films like that anymoar ;__;

I know!! It's such a great movie and it's so cool that their main female was all awesome and things! She was just so different from the other females in thier movies so it was really nice to see that Jasmine was cool too

I really hope that disney keeps doing animate movies... they are coming out with one in 2009 and I actually heard they are working on another animated one, so hopefully they'll knock it off a bit with the computer animated stuff for a while and the live action stuff.

yesh computer animated are lames i tried them and it's so freakin hard and not much magic ;_; (i still love pixar btw)

nowadays 2d are so rare that even i screamed when they made "enchanted" even for few mins of animation is soooo coooool!! T_T

A lot of them have lost thier magic... it's really sad because 2d animation is just awesome. I'm really just fascinated by it! The same plotlines and things in these 3d movies is just annoying.
I loved the idea about Enchanted but dammit I wish disney would do more animated films!

calicokatt In reply to flickersowner [2008-06-04 13:51:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I noticed that a good portion of thier 2d films are all those stupid sequels that usually suck. I heard that 3d ones on teh computer are easier to make, something about animators and how its easier to hire them or something 0.0 I'm not too sure but they are coming out wih that new one in 2009 so that is good

flickersowner In reply to calicokatt [2008-06-04 14:00:32 +0000 UTC]

weeeeeeeeeeellll.......... since i've made 3d these days i could say one thing.

3d is not easy... ISH FREAKIN FRUSTRATING!! Well if it's animation you spoke I might agree... I never good at handling moelling class T_T

On making good moves and nice realistic ways 3d was easer, though the techinques are nuts to handle. Frames are easier to handle, and 12 principal of animation could be done within this softwares.
The main reason why most animation lead to 3d is because they're cheaper and less people needed to make of those. You just needed few high techno compies and few computer handling and one artist...(hey that's how pixar studio works on their first debut )

Eee, yeah I was talking about movies, apparentlly its cheaper to animate in CG so thats why they do it.. But I agree with you on teh sculpture, I find it VERY frustrating, I love to do it but I'm not very good at it tho unfortunately. But i geuss you just have to practice

Eeeeee!!! Hercules fanart! You just kicked up an old and still lasting favourite fandom of mine! LOVE that film and the cartoon and love your take on the sassy Meg!

But as far as animation goes; yeah I too am looking forward to Frog Princess [black characters in the lead, yay!!! ] but can't really agree with you on the 3D-deal being completely sucky. True, it's had its great share of bad titles AND I don't exactly think of 3D when talking about animation, but it's part of the unavoidable revolution plus like you said, some real good movies can come off from them too! ^___^

calicokatt In reply to silversister [2008-05-26 20:23:58 +0000 UTC]

She was a lot of fun to draw, and Hercules is definately a great movie, one of my favourites! I also love The Emperors New Groove a lot too, becausei t was so different then a lot of the other movies
Hee hee, I mean its not that they are all sucky, I mean like Toy Story and Monsters Inc and whatnot were great, but after a while, the 3D movies, not even just the disney ones but the ones from other people too started to get reallllllllllyy old because a lot of them had these little animals and stuff 0.0 I just got really turned off from them after a while I really want to see Wall-E tho really bad, that looks awesome

silversister In reply to calicokatt [2008-05-27 19:02:45 +0000 UTC]

Exactly! I'm so sick of people going on b!tching about Disney-movies not being all Beauty & the Beast or Lion King. New styles and different things MUST be given a chance to keep things fresh!

So it's not 3D that sucks *2D has had more little animals anyway, y'know?* but just certain movies of it! *which also applies to 2D... I personally didn't care much for Camelot, for one*
I agree, there was a point when all that came from 3D was simple copies of eachother, all with the very same patterns in plots, types of characters and humor plus the horrid "OMGWEGOTHOLLYWOODSUPERSTARSCOMESEEITNAO!!!" trump-card... Barely any soul or originality excisted in the majority of them. But I HAVE heard supricingly good feedback from Surf's Up! and The Bee Movie, dispite neither really impressing me based on their trailers.
And hellz yea, Wall-E looked like the cutest shizzle ever!

URGHHHHH!! It annoys me that they always have these celebrities voice the characters...I mean it's cool if it's a good movie but when they do it just so that people will watch it then it's like..GARGGHH!
Eeee Bee Movie was so cute.. but one that I absolutely loved was Flushed Away, that one had me laughing for ages!
But defiantely, i know what you mean by some 2D's... Some of them are pretty bad, espeiclaly a good portion of Disney sequels.. Usually if they come straight to video I figure it's probably not very good XD Not true with some of them but a lot of the ones I've seen are...
