Description A commission I finished a while back for ~Seaff of her characters, Ujah and Xarhiji. They were quite a bit of fun to draw, but I faced quite a tricky dilemma in posing them, as I wanted their personalities to show through.

For those who are curious, Ujah is the female in the background and Xarhiji the sitting male. Awwww.

Figured I'd post it here.

Characters (C) ~Seaff
Art (C) April Schumacher (*pallanoph )

Impressive. I almost didn't think this was you at first!

I can't quite say that I can tell which is male or female, though… sorry.

Ooooooh now you have me excited about that! I don't think I've had too many fan arts made of him, so that will certainly be something to see! (It's also high time I do more illustrations of him... I mean, he is one of the main characters after all! )

Free time is awesome... I have to find a way to make more of it!

I just adore these little critters and the way you've drawn them. They look like they have a lot of personality

She is quite wonderful, isn't she? What I wouldn't give for my art to look half as clean.

I always worry I do too much graphite, but perhaps if I do some with backgrounds, I won't feel so guilty, lol. Maybe some old tree studies in addition to my usual character/species drawings will make them feel more completed? Who knows... I've always been so attached to my character studies.

I loved drawing these two, and I'm glad they show at least a hint of their character here.

They have great personality in just their poses, though telling gender is impossible for me, in this vaguely leonine shape.

pallanoph In reply to evanjensen [2010-01-03 21:53:35 +0000 UTC]

It is a little tricky to tell them apart here... that, and my feline anatomy skills, I fear, are still lacking a bit. I ought to do some more practice studies.

And thanks!

Lovely itty bitty detailing I like the poses a lot, especially the sitting one shows off the interesting anatomy of these two.

pallanoph In reply to kalmanen [2010-01-03 21:57:26 +0000 UTC]

I did a lot of this in a larger lead, so I had to grab up my mechanical pencil for those little bits. Oooh, and it was tricky, because I don't feel that my feline anatomy is quite up to par just yet.

(I swear, once I get some more things out of my way that I will do more composition studies for you. At least I haven't forgotten, but still! I'll make it extra special because you've been so patient!)
