Krita is another digital painting software. It's a bit confusing at first glance but it has many features to create really good-looking art

When I bought my graphic tablet, it came with ArtRage Lite which I can also recommend. Simple to use a d still has a decent amount of useful features for painting in particular.

One of these days, I'll probably try those out.

Thanks for the recommendations!

I haven't posted any art for months, so I thought I'd make this adorable piece. This was rather challenging for me to do due to my old laptop's mouse problem, but I defied those odds.

It's great to see a new drawing from you after all these months! The pose here is quite sweet and Petrie's expression looks really nice. The atmosphere is excellent but Petrie's head is too big and his arm too thin, I'm afraid. But other than those points, well done with this picture!

@Sovereign Thanks for the feedback.

I did have a bit of a hard time getting it right because everything from the shoulders down was drawn freehand. I'll probably be going back and revising the head size, since that shouldn't be too hard to do. I'm not sure what I can do about his arms, though, other than I was simply going for a cute pose but left room for improvement. I'm glad you liked it, though. Thanks.

Okay. I decided to take this thing back to Paint.Net and revise Petrie's head so that it doesn't look too big like it did before. Thankfully, it only took me a few minutes to do since I'm very skilled with using layers.

Personally, I think he looks much better already!

This is very beautiful! I really like Petries facial expression.
To be honest, I was a bit amazed as I saw the shadows of Petries legs. It looks very good!
I especially like the treestars! They look so... round. ^^

I don't see any bad thing for me. I think it's well done!

Sovereign · **Reply #26 on:** November 21, 2018, 04:41:05 PM

Yep, it looks better now.

I really like this piece! The shade of sky blue used for the background really gives it this warm sunny glow that makes it appear like we're seeing a scene from the actual Great Valley itself. It's complimented by the cloud cover and the treestars in the foreground as well.

Hey it's good to see some more fanart from you. The smaller head size is a much better improvement and huge props for doing this with a mouse.

Hope to see you keep at it!

Ducky123 · **Reply #29 on:** November 27, 2018, 01:39:37 AM

Whoa, this is really nice! Possibly better than I could do digitally for sure and it's a really sweet scene

I had wanted to find a picture of Petrie and his mother sharing an emotional bond for some time, but I could never really find one anywhere, so I made my own, based on the "mirror" cave scene from my 2018 fanfic, "The Hurting of Desire."

This is very nice, Diddy!

I love how the background of the scene highlights the emotions of the two flyers as they have a heart-to-heart discussion. Likewise, the proportions of Petrie and Mama Flyer seem spot on, which is something that sometimes was an issue in the television series.

Good work! Amazing and very touching!

Goldenwind · **Reply #33 on:** July 22, 2020, 10:56:49 AM

This scene is amazing. It's heartwarming to see a sad Petrie getting comfort from his mother. Amazing job!

Flathead770 · **Reply #34 on:** July 22, 2020, 11:42:37 AM

Nicely done Diddy! The back angle used for Petrie can be tough to get right so good job with that!

OwlsCantRead · **Reply #35 on:** July 24, 2020, 10:20:26 AM

I know it's the ice, but I like the overall cool icy tone this picture has, as it makes Petrie's normally muted brown stand out in contrast to all the blue.

It does draw a lot of inspiration from the LBT12 nest scene, but I also like the opted pose of Mama Flyer pulling Petrie into a hug. The resigned look and Petrie's tear-stricken face sell the moment.

What a sweet scene, Diddy! I love the minimal use of outlines in your art style, it's just a really smooth, clean look. Great job!

Ducky123 · **Reply #37 on:** August 02, 2020, 07:39:16 AM

The raw emotion of Petrie as he is mentally breaking down is captured exceptionally! Petrie's Mother is wearing this sad but understanding facial expression which perfectly fits the scene too. Great work, Diddy! Feels like you've improved over the last two years after scrolling through the older posts again, yep yep yep

Mumbling · **Reply #38 on:** August 05, 2020, 12:41:55 PM

This is a lovely drawing of Petrie and his mother. It's very emotional. The colors used are very good as well. Keep it up, Diddy!

I got cheeky with my latest livery on Gran Turismo Sport (PS4).

I thought perhaps I'd post it here since an LBT character is on the car.
