Description A little speedpaint, just playing around with different brushes. Not entirely happy with the result, though I can't exactly tell what bugs me in here. :I
I know the anatomy is not right, but Rocky anatomy is very hard!! I named my Rocky Pierre now by the way. c:

Around 2,5 hours in Krita and Sai.

Did u color or sketch in krita? I've heard good things about the program and I have an interest in trying it out. How is it?
edit: I'm looking for how good it is for the "painterly" style we both tend to have, btw ^^

I did the coloring in Krita.Β Personally I don't like sketching in Krita a lot, but
it's perfect to get a nice, painterly style with all the nice brushes it comes with.
I don't have Photoshop, but a lot of people say it's a great 'alternative' to it.
It's also quite easy to use, so I would totally recommend it! ^^

I... Guess I act more suspicious than I thought. But you can't prove anything!

He changes adress every now and then, so I'm afraid you'll have to ask someone else...
Oh by the way, he's only available between 12pm - 5am and only from mondays to thursdays.
What do you need him for, if I may ask?

how did you contact him in the first place then? and why do you need to know?

Yeah, as soon as there's something worth blackmailing you for



I see how it is.. You just don't want me to talk to the guy and get as good at painting fur as you are.. So selfish.
Actually, this might be the first thing worth blackmailing you for..

Once again you're correct - But what had you expected? There's no way I'm going to let you become a better artist than me! D:<

Haymunk In reply to Empoh [2016-07-18 01:07:22 +0000 UTC]

I don't know.. You being the good person and friend you always pretend to be and helping the ones in dire need of special assistance? Especially considering how art is not a subject in which one can become 'better' than the other. Even if I was more experienced that you you'd still both have an distinct style and portray entirely different motives.

Empoh In reply to Haymunk [2016-07-19 17:19:37 +0000 UTC]

I agree that it's hard to tell if an artist can be 'better' than another, but I guess it does partially rely on experience actually.
I imagine he'd give an experience boost to draw fur exactly how it looks in your head, exactly how you want it so
that it's no longer frustrating to draw. With experience comes more 'control' over the pencil, being able to change styles more easily
and learn new artistic skills faster etc. An experienced artist is not automatically a better artist, but you know.. It's still very important.
It also often takes many years to actually find your own style, to find a 'right' way of expressing yourself in your work. Again that doesn't mean
you can't express yourself in art without experience.Β Of course you can't judge someone's skill from their style and there's no 'right' or 'wrong' way in art.

Yeah, I couldn't find a better word I'm sorry. xD You're right.
I didn't mean to get all philosophic... Actually I don't remember how we got to this topic this time.
But the question about 'good' and 'bad' artists just bothers me or something, I couldn't help myself I guess. :I

If you remember where you started shittalking you're not doing it right. xD

You know the saying.. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" - same goes with 'goodness' (ik, it's called quality but that doesn't sound half as goofy) of art
