Description EDIT: On second thought, it doesn't exactly look like he's dancing... oh well. He's dancing, and even if you can't figure that out, I still think it came out really well.

EDIT2: Crap, I forgot that there are mountains visible from that cliff-hill... Oh well. Still looks nice without 'em.

------------

So yesterday night, I really wanted to draw - but couldn't think of anything. I'd decided it was to be digital, as it's becoming evident I neglect the digital side of things, my only digital work being a single, half-assed drawing of a partially-mine character.

I'd settled on drawing Johnny, but for hours couldn't figure out anything past that.
Then, while listening to 'Grey', by 'Lovers Turn To Monsters', ([link] ) and 'All Alone Again' by Joseph Peragine ([link] ) I came up with the idea of Johnny dancing, but serious dancing rather than the drunken stuff I had him doing a while ago.

And if you look at his hands... yes, they don't have fingers. I tend to avoid drawing them if I'm new to a position. Besides, I didn't want to gimp up the drawing with nasty-looking fingers, as my hands are usually terrible.
Also - yay, my stars are awesome! Used a tutorial to get those right, but the grass and moon where freehanded using similar methods. Now, if only I could get the rest of the textures to work that well...

I like the pose ^^ And you made it look really realistic, with the way his boots are hitting the grass
And its nice to see Nny in a different style than the one from the comics
I also like how you did the shirts tails, making them all flowy (Hur thats not even a word XD)

Thanks. ^-^
Stock photos really help with the realism, especially seeing as my only method of learning new positions is free-handing, and hoping they turn out good. Which they usually don't, not with poses that involve such movement as this.

As for the style, this isn't technically my actual style; I guess you could call it my 'trying to imitate the artist but unintentionally mixing in my own method' style. My actual style is more like what you see in 'Empire Ants', I'm sorely tempted to drawing Johnny that way (but human, not mer), terrible as he'd look. XD

And his shirt-tails, unfortunately, are by no means that long - I just really like drawing things all flowy, it's fun and easy.


Ah, god, I'm sorry for the... month-late response. D:

I agree with being bad at free handing positions. I'm sooo bad at that, so I make my drawing usually all rigid and awkward x3
And I like that type of style when you mix your own methods into the original artists. I do it all the time, seeing as how I have a hard time putting my own style fully into fanart (Which is mostly what I tend to do).
And yes. Long flowy things are exceedingly fun to draw xD Thats why drawing short hair infuriates me...Even though I myself have short hair...xD
And the late response is okay :3 I know you probably have better things to do then to reply to my sorry ass. XD
