Description SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Sorry to you, for having waited so patiently for this piece to be finished. I'm a bit caught up in some things, as I am currently between jobs and many other things get in the way of being able to art or anything, and on top of that I lost motivation quite a few times, not to mention I lost my data and had to do a whole part of the picture again :exhausted: But again, sorry for how late this is Please don't burn me at the stake    For those who don't know, this was supposed to be a Secret Santa gift, but I guess Santa accidentally skipped Pandii and woke up late from his cookie and milk hibernation or something.

As for the picture itself, I had quite the selection to choose from with your characters and I regretted choosing Venom almost immediately Oddly enough it wasn't the anatomy that threw me for a loop (at least not as much as I thought it would) as I finished the paper sketch in one sitting (a rarity indeed) But it was all the little details here and there about your character that, while colouring digitally, completely kicked my arse Pandii Mah dear; I'm convinced that you have declared war on your fingers, complete, and total knee deep in blood, armed to the teeth, brutally vicious war  Not to say that drawing Venom wasn't fun I had a lot of fun doing this piece even when I was redrawing the lil details over for the third time (I decided to get all the actual physical parts in the sketch and just add the other details through digital) but I had to try and at least get them to look subpar which was quite challenging considering I'm not used to such complexities. Ah, but that's good, no? It's like that one saying "Cry in the dojo, laugh in the battlefield" except it'd be "Cry in the studio, laugh in the.....art field?" Ah ya get what I mean    Of course, my BRAND SPANKING NEW TABLET also helped a great deal    

I didn't have much time to read any back story or personality traits that your character may have, and what little I did read went in one eyeball, and out the other(?) So I settled on making a scene that wouldn't be causing any too-big discrepancies. Walking at night is pretty safe...right? Of course being myself I thought "Hey, what are they looking at?" at the last minute and decided to put a bright, glowly light Don't ask any questions, and just use your imagination; it'll take you places

That sky I actually had fun with (I mean I had MORE fun, as the whole piece entirely was fun to work on) as I've not made decent sky in any of my drawings yet, and this is finally a step above what I've done before I decided to make galaxies in it because why not?! I had so much fun with those, I got to experiment and try different things and learn from my mistakes One of them being to always save because shortly after I completed the galaxies my computer crashed SOOO I had to redraw them again from scratch (as well as the stars) But the second time went by much faster as I knew what to do and didn't repeat mistakes I did the first time around; so it all worked out anyway I think part of it has to do with the fact that I was listening to this as I was drawing the sky, which is a gorgeous way to listen to the universe okay that sounded weird. I meant it sounds kinda spacey....like a music tract that would be used to show the wonders of space or something leave me alone, I'm sleep deprived.

Okay, thanks and sorry again, Pandii Hope this subpar piece makes up for the wait somewhat Thank you all God bless you all and have a good night

Thanks! now this picture brings me back Way way back. Too far back, oh my goodness, this didn't look like how I remembered it at all  I must get around to re-drawing it sometime. Or drawing anything for that matter XD Thanks again!

Why thank you so very much for the comment! I had fun doing that pose, and one doesn't get to do ones like that often when they draw mainly humanoids (or maybe one could? Hmm....interesting >:3 I'll have to experiment a bit)

  This is so amazing, holy crap!
... THE ANGLE YOU MANAGED TO PULL OFF?? HOW DID YOU DO THAT SORCERY? Lol and geez, you really kicked butt with how textured you made this look for a digital piece too!

WhIppIng-b0y In reply to Alrathi [2016-02-09 16:02:00 +0000 UTC]

The angle is difficult? Can't be if I managed to pull it off XD And thanks, I had much fun with the textured brushed X3 Thank you so very much!

This is AWESOME!

When i saw this in my inbox I was very surprised and amazed by this piece! You did a perfect job and first let me say sorry because of his deisgn haha I know all these details are killing time and they're not easy to draw but i really love the result and of course I am not mad with you just because you haven't read his bio - I am very happy about my secret santa gift .. i am feeling very sorry about all the troubles you had with drawing this piece! ... maybe I can draw you something in return I really appreciate your work here. I love the pose a lot <3 It's very difficult to draw dragons in this pose but you've done it very well (: Furhtermore, the Background fits very well!

It was worth the wait <3
Thank you so much Whippi

Have a nice day

Ah, don't apologize for the design; you were just making a design that you found to be fun and enjoyable, and there's no need to feel bad for that X3 Especially since I actually feel I've grown as an artist more because of it. I just wish it was cleaner on my part.

And I'm glad you like it X3 because I was worried about being burned at thw stake and no, no drawing me anything, or I'll draw you something else as well

I'm not sure which I'm surprised to find out more: whether that you like the pose or that it's hard to draw because when I saw your dragon and started sketching, all I thought was "It's body NEEDS to be making an 'S' shape" XD and since I'm not familiar with non-humanoid body types I thought I did an easy pose as it didn't seem to be troubling.

Thanks so very much for your comment CX I'm glad to have made this for you

Oh I think if you just keep practicing you will be very good soon and your art will be 'cleaner'. I think you're on the best way!

whuaaat? haha so we got an never ending circle of 'I-draw-you-something-because-you-drew-me-something' ?.. eehh. yeah.. kind of i guess xDD haha but if I find some time i would love to gift something little back to you just because you put so much effort into this drawing!

hahahahaha xDD I am always get into trouble while sketching those poses so i think that's very great that you have drew him in this perspective. and.. since you aren't familiar with non-humanoid body types i think it's way more awesome!

WhIppIng-b0y In reply to PandiiVan [2016-02-09 16:20:25 +0000 UTC]

Yeah XD Seems like I must do what everyone has been saying since there was art. Practice practice practice

And no, that's not how Secret Santas work! You don't give something back for them otherwise 'tis no Secret Santa! If you want to say thanks you already did by commenting on the piece I drew for me

Why thank you XD Glad to hear I was able to actually accomplish something with the pose
